by being presented with a fine watch
as a token of appreciation from his
employes. Mr. Fairly was taken by
surprise and when cries of "Speech,
Speech" were heard, with consider
able emotion lie told those who had
gathered to witness the presentation
how much he appreciated their efforts
and co-operation toward maintain
ing the high moral standard and good
name of the organization and sajd it
had always been this kind of co
operation that had enabled the orga
nization to play in many towns year
after year and always come back to
rmd friends and boosters there.

Death of Well
Known Resident
of Cass County
Short Sketch of the Life of the Late
Mrs. George Oehlerking of
Near Elmwood.
Maria Barbara Oehlerking nee
Rumelin, was born in Newhawson
Germany, June 6, 1S74, and passed to
her reward June 29, 1926. leaving
her age of 52 years and 23 days.
In February 1S91, she came to
America making her home with her
half-brother. Rev. J. Streicher, who
lived at Clay Center, Nebr., upon her
arrival, but who was stationed on
Louisville circuit that same spring.
The following spring, 1S91, at a
camp meeting held on Louisville cir
cuit she was happily converted and
joined the Evangelical church of
which she remained a faithful mem
ber until her end.
On the 25th day of May 1893, she
entered holy wedlock with George
Oehlering, which union was blessed
with six children, four sons and two
daughters, one son having died in in
fancy. Immediately after their mar
riage they moved to. their present
farm two miles west and two miles
south of Elmwood, where they en
joyed God's blessings and where they
shared together the good and evil
days.
Sister Oehlerking was a true chris
tian and a loyal member of the Elm
wood Evangelical church for. thirty
three years. She found much joy in
the services of the church, always in
eh place if at all possible showing her
interest.' not only with her presence,
but also with her prayers and" her
means. She was a devoted mother
and while having a deep interest in
the welfare of her children in every
way, earnestly yet tenderly admon
ishing thera to live consistent chris
tian lives, and her loving exhorta
tions will long linger in the minds
of her children.
Sister Oehlerking enjoyed unusual
health until several years ago, it is
thought during an illness of several
weeks there developed a cancerous
tumor, which slowly did its deadly
work. In March of this year she took
the flu from which she never entire
ly recovered. On May 29th, shf un
derwent an operation after which her
condition grew more serious from day
to day. She nevertheless bore her
cross bravely and patiently, exercis
ing confidence and faith in God that
he would have all things well as she
said. "The Lord's will be done."
She leaves to mourn her husband,
three sons, Albert H., Harold J., and
Floyd G., two daughters. Mrs. Elsa E.
Shurtleff of Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs. Edna
Swarts of Elmwood, Nebr.; two grand
children, two brothers; Jacob Rume
lin of Brownsville. Nebr.; and Dan
Rnmelin of Elmwood, one half bro
ther Rev. G. Streicher of Council
Bluffs, Iowa; one sisjr, Mrs. Hannah
Panska, Murdock Nebr.; and many
relatives and friends.
God grant all a Happy Reunion in
the presence of the Lord.
Funeral services were conducted
by the pastor, E. H. Sohi, assisted by
the Brethern, Pieper and F. L. Wei
gert arid A, Stauss of Murdock at the
Evangelical church Thursday, July
1. Interment was made In the Elm
wood cemetery.- Elmwood Leader-Echo.

Number of Celebrations Over the
County Should Have Attendance
From This City.
In the next few weeks there will
be a number of celebrations and spec
ial days of entertainment held in
several towns of the county and in
which Plattsmouth, the county seat,
should be' liberally represented and
take part in the enjoyable opportun
ities of meeting with the friends and
neighbors who are all part of this
great county and in the common wel
fare of which all of our people-are
vitally interested.
The use of the automobile is rapid
ly bringing all parts of the county in
closer touch and whore formerly a
whole day was required in coming
and going from the extreme western
and eastern parts of the county, it
can now be done in less than an
hour and accordingly the residents
of the respective communities are
getting much better acquainted and
realizing that there are some mighty
fine people residing in the different
parts of the county, who have been
there all of these years and have
never been able to get together un
til the last few years when a feeling
of real cordiality has sprung up
among all of the communities that
isvponstantly growing better and bet
ter. On the occasion that Plattsmouth
has had special observances and cele
brations here, the residents of the
county have come in to join with us
and now is the opportunity of get
ting busy and showing our apprecia
tion by returning their calls and en
joying the chance to see many of the
fine little cities and communities
over the county.
The first of the county celebrations
that will be held is that of the com
munity day at Elmwood on July 29th,
and then the Old Settlers at Union,
which is one of the old established
gatherings of the county for a period
of almost forty years. The Cass
county fair at Weeping Water is also
one of the fixed entertainment fea
tures of the fall season that has at
tracted much attention over all parts
of the county and in addition to this
there is the Ford day held by the
good people of Murdock for the last
two years.
These occasions are always pleas
ant ones and give the neighbors the
chance to get together and visit and
know better the needs and desires of
each other and to share the common
interests.
A thorough understanding among
the residents of all sections will lead
to the united action of the citizens
for better roads, better conditions in
all parts of the county by the oppor
tunity of seeing and understanding
that each different community is do
ing and from the observations each
one can derive some benefit and each
section lose their own narrowed view
point that comes from the years of
isolation.
The Plattsmouth people are very
much interested in every section of
Cass county and there is no doubt
that there will be a large and very
much interested part of the resi
dents of this community joining in
the various county gatherings and
doing their part in promoting the
era of good neighborly feeling be
tween all parts of the county, mak
ing all of the county from Platts
mouth to Eagle and from Louisville
to Avoca feel that we are all one in
this great and splendid section of
Nebraska and are proud of every part
of Cass county.
Already plans are being made for
a large number of the representa
tives of the business houses and the
professional interests of the city to
join in these big, happy, gatherings
of the different communities over
Cass county.

membrances of the friends.

PREPARING FOR -BIG TIME
From Friday's Daily
Our neighboring town of Elmwood
(s preparing for a big community day
that will be held on Thursday, July
29th, which will be marked by a
large array of free entertainment,
attractions of all kinds and sports
that will attract the public and make
an occasion of the greatest enjoy
ment to all who attend.
A number of Plattsmouth business
men and citizens are planning to
attend the event and in true neigh
borly spirit give a call to the pro
gressive little western Cass county
town. If the weather conditions will
permit there should be a large num
ber of autos in the caravan that will
make Elmwood their goal on this occasion.
Late yesterday afternoon Sheriff E.
P. Stewart was called out to the
vicinity of the Platte bottom where
a car load of Omaha men were re
ported as driving along the highway
in a rather over loaded state of in
toxication and the sheriff met the
party just north of this city and
placed them in custody.
The men had all three been drink
ing very heavily and were accom
panied by a young boy, the son of
one of the men in the car, and who
had evidently been abused and slap
ped and hit by the members of the
party as the boy was crying and rad
received his punishment as the re
sult of his having remonstrated with
the men for their drinking and reck
less driving.
The party were brought to the
county jail by Sheriff Stewart and
Deputy Sheriff Sscaus and locked up
to await their turn in the mill of
justice for their indulgence in the
flowing bottle. The boy was sent on
back to his home in Omaha as he
was an innocent member of the party
and an unwilling passenger on the
drunken drive from the state metro
polis. This morning the trio of Omahans
were called upon to settle for their
shortcomings in the way of over in
dulgence in the Volsteadian liquor
and Judge A. H. Duxbury after hear
ing the evidence in the case handed
the members of the party the packages
that they had coming. W. M. Waters,
who had not confined himself to drink
ing his namesake, was given fifteen
days in jail, John Morrissey, a jolt
of $25 and costs and Charles Nolan,
a fine of $100 and costs.
