others, often neglecting herself in
their behalf.
She had the spirit of Christ in

They miss her that she's gone.

day the Farmers Mercantile store,

institution. Mr. Harding, since he
has been in Union, has proven one
of the best of citizens and has dem
onstrated beyond any doubt that he
is an excellent business man and a
first class citizen. We can see no
reason why he will not make an ex

newly purchased business. In an an
nouncement elsewhere on this page,
Mr. Harding states he will move his
family here at an early date.

Card of Thanks
We wish to extend our sincerest
thanks to our many friends for the
kindnesses they showed during the
sickness and death of our dear, sweet
wife and mother. Eugene Austin
and Children.
Mrs. Stella May Austin
A number of years ago when Ne
braska was young there appeared
within the Missouri valley a couple
starting life together in a new land.
This couple was John and Mary
Chilcott. To this union seven child
ren were born, two dying some time
ago. Today we are met to pay our
last tribute of respect to another
who has answered the call to accom
pany her master to her future home.
This one is Mrs. Stella May Austin.
Mrs. Austin was born northeast of
Union May 2, 1870, and answered
the last call December 11, 1925, aged
55 years, 7 months and 9 days.
She was uniteel in bonds of Holy
wedlock to another early settler of
this Missouri valley, Eugene Austin,
and that part which says, "until
death do us part" was carried out in
her life. To this union were born
five children.
They are: Roy, Bloomington, Cal
ifornia; Sherman, Union; Mrs. Octa
Welsh, Omaha; Miss Addie, Union,

Was Thirty Days Late.
One of the prominent business men
of Union, desiring to make the home
happy, and especially the good wife,
selected with great care a present
for her birthday, which he had in his
mind, fixed on December Sth, and
keeping it so she could not see it,
when he sat down to supper slipped
it under her plate when she stopped
into tie kitchen for something.
When she returned and took her place
at the table she turned over her
plate and was surprised to fine lying
there a package, she asked what it
meant and was told by her husband
that it was her birthday present. Peal
after peal of laughter filled the room
at this announcement and when she
could control the mirth, she explain
ed through her tears, for she had
laughed so much that she cried that
her birthday was the Sth of Novem
ber and that he had missed the date
just thirty days. Of course we will
not tell who this man is but one
could find out most anywhere in
Union.
