Death Claims
Old Resident of
Cass County
Philip Stohr Passed away Last Eve
ning at Home of Daughter
West of This City.
From Wednesday s Paiiy
Last evening at 7 o'clock at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. August
Keil, near Cullom, occured the death
of Philip Stoehr, old time resident
of this community and who has" for
the past year been in- very poor
health, gradually failing until death
came to ease his suffering and to
bring the last long rest.
In the last few weeks Mr. Stoehr
has been practically helpless and
his condition has gradually grown
such as to leave little hope of his
recovery.
Philip Stoehr was born Septem
ber .10, lS.r4, in Tazwell county,
Illinois, being a son of Mr. -and Hrs.
Christ Stoehr, who came to that
community at an early day from
Germany and from the parents the
deceased gathered the habits of
thrift and industry that in later
years was to make him one of the
solid and substantial citizens of Cass
county. Mr. Stoehr was married in
1S79 at 'Sand Prairie, Illinois, to
Anna Marie Lohnes, and thirty-six
years ago the family came to Cass
county to make their home in the
future and where they have since
made their home. To bless the life
of Mr. and Mrs. 'Stoehr there were
born a family of children, they
surviving the parents being Mrs.
Margaret Shroeder of South Omaha.
Mrs. Lulu Keil" of near Plattsmouth
and George Stoehr of Cedar Creek.
The wife and mother passed away
in October, 1925 and since that time
Mr. Stoehr has made his home for
some time here at the family home
until his poor health compelled his
going to the home of his daughter
where he has since resided.
Mr. Stoehr was a member of the
Modern Woodmen of America of the
Louisville camp and also was a mem-
ber of the German Evangelical
church for the greater part of his
j lifetime.
j In addition to the children he is
survived by two brothers and four
sisters, Coon Stoehr of El Reno, Ok
lahoma. Adam Stoehr, Cedar Creek,
Mrs.' George Heil and Mrs. Adam
Fornoff of Cedar Creek, Mrs. Alfred
peterSon of Louisville and Mrs.
j Marion Metzger of Merriam, Nebras
Eugene ka. There also remain five grand-
children to mourn his loss.
The funeral services will be held
nn Fvir'riv afternoon, the funeral
party leaving the August Keil home
at o'clock and the services will
be held at the Glendale church west
of palttsmouth. Rev. J. II. Steger
0f this city officiating.

greater part of the eastern and south
ern portion of the county and where
the friends will be very much pleas
ed to learn that she has entered the
race for this office.
Miss Robertson is a native Cass

years and the members of her fam
ily have made distinct contributions

Center of Interest

Clarence L. Marken Charged With
Assault and Battery on the
School Principal.
From Wednesday s raily
This morning the greater part of
the high school students as well as
citizens of Greenwood were here to
attend the hearing on the case of
the State of Nebraska vs Clarence
L. Marken, who was charged with
assault and battery on Prof. Worley
of the Greenwood public school.
The defendant apparently had n
large part of the sentiment of those
who were in attendance in his favor,
judging from the attitude of the
crowd that filled the court of Judge
A. II. Duxbury and during the testi
mony there was several outbursts
of laughter.
The state had charged the young
man with assault and the appear
ance of the complaining witness bore
out this fact as Prof. Worley bore two
black eyes and several other marks
of the affray that occurred a few
days ago in the school building in
Greenwood. It was claimed by the
principal of the school that the as
sault had been started by the de
fendant and that he had cursed th3
professor and threatened to kill him.
The defendant gave his version of
the affair as that of the school man
having started to strike him and
clenching with him and after which
the defendant had struck the school
man and was on top of him when
others rushed on the scene and pull
ed Marken off.
Evidence of several of the school
teachers was offered for the defense
as to the conduct and standing of
the young man in school.
After hearing the evidence in the
case County Judge A. II. Duxbury
found the young man guilty as
charged and sentenced him to thirty
days in jail.
A hearing was being had today re
lative to sending the young man to
Kearney "to the state reform school.
