of Earl Hacken
berg on Sunday
Largely Attended at First Christian
Church Ku Klux Klan Serv
ices at Grave.
From Monday's lailv
Earl P. Hackenberg was born in
Plattsmouth. Nebraska, January the
Sth. 1S96. In the midst of youth
and health Tie was stricken with
acute appendicitis which necessitated
resorting to an operation in an effort
to save his life. But the effort was
in vain as in the Methodist hospital
in Omaha after having endured great j
sunenne at p. m., uecemDer
30th. 1926, he passed out of physi
cal life aged 30 years, 11 months
and 23 days.
The parental home on West Gran
ite street is desolate and sad today
because of his untimely going. The
aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
O. Hackenberg miss the loving pres
ence of a good son. The brothers.
Alonzo G. and Russell J. Hackenberg
together with the sisters. Miss Grettal
Hackenberg, Mrs. Lloyd Sharp and
Mrs. Leslie Neil and their families
likewise miss him and are burdened
with a deep sorrow.
There are aiso uncles and aunts
and cousins and a host of friends and
acquaintances who likewise loved
him and today are experiencing pro
found sorrow because of his pass
ing. One brother Raymond, aged 17
years, in March. 1908 and one sister.
Opal aeed IS months in 1S9 9 pre
ceded him in death.
With the exception of six years
spent in Alliance. Nebraska, and
short periods in which he was em
ployed in Omaha Earl P. Hackenberg
lived his life in our midst. He was
our own boy. we knew him and we
lived him and those of us who knew
him best loved him most.
He received hi? education in Cass
county schools and churches. Under
the ministry of Rev. A. J. Hollowell
a former minister of the First Chris
tian church of this city in the year
1920 he became a professed follower
of Jesus Christ and a member of the
church. In this relation he was con
stantly faithful to the call of duty.
He was always willing to serve
in any capacity as was requested of
him. At the time of his death he was
treasurer of the Christian Sunday
school and member of the board of
Deacons of the church. He seldom
missed either a Sunday school or
church service. He labored willingly
and gladly for the Master who has
called him home.
At the time of his death he was
in the employ of the Robb Candy
company of this city, being in charge
of the business interests of the firm
at this place. He was valued in the
business world for his moral integ
rity, his industrious disposition, his
loyalty, his dependability and his
kindliness of spirit. Practically every
business house of Plattsmouth has
felt the influence of his kindliness
and are the better for it.
His love for children was very
marked and they loved him baci
again. We can imagine him today
being very happy in the world be
yond because of the happy laughter
of children which helps to make glad
that land.
In the words of Longfellow
feel like saying today:
we
"O what hast thou to do with cruel '
Death.
Who wast so full of life, or death
with thee.
That thu shouldst die berore thou
hast grown old?"
But:
"There is no death! What seems so
is transition.
This life or mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call death!"
Longfellow.
Again:
"There is no
down
death! The stars go
To rise upon some fairer shore.
And brought in
crown
Heaven's jeweled I
They shine for evermore.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent
tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them 'dead.' "
Lord Lytton.
It makes us happy today to belipvp
that his spirit breathes the thought
in. iue unhnown poet who wrote
"The stars shall shine ror a thous
and years.
A thousand years and a day;
But God and I will live and live
When the stars have passed away."

Discuss Plans
for Liquidation
of First National
Workers Will Distribute Agreements
Among Stockholders to Seek
Trusteeship.
From Monday's Daily
This morning at the equity court
room in the court house there was a
very large number of the depositors,
and stockholders of the First Nation
al bank to discuss the matter of some
solution of the troubles of the bank
which has been closed since December
14th, which might result in as large
a saving of the assets of the bank ofr
the depositors.
The meeting was opened by Henry
R. Gering who stated that he had
taken it upon himself to call the
meeting and place before them the
proposition that had been figured out
regarding the trusteeship for the
bank and which it was hoped to have
adopted as the means of saving the
largest amount for those who had
been caught in the crash of the bank.
The meeting selected E. J. Richey
as the chairman and who gave a
short outline of the condition of the
bank as he had knowledge and also
in reading the agreement section by
section, covering the adoption of the
trusteeship by the depositors and
creditors of the bank.
E. H. Wescott, one of the deposi
tors of the bank was named as the
secretary.
Mr. Richey stated that the bank
had liabilities of $295,000, this in
cluding the claims of all of the de
positors. In regard to the real estate
heid by the bank Mr. Richey stated
that this amounted to $36,000 not
including the building occupied by
the bank and there was on hand
notes aggregating the sum of $256.
000. Mr. Richey stated that the
agreement providing for a trustee had
been prepared with a view of mak
ing the liquidation cf the bank as
quickly as possible and without
working a hardship cn the personF
who might owe the bank and who
under a receivership might have to
be sacrificed while witlt a trusteeship
the paper might be liquidated with
out the infliction of unnecessary loss
on the debtors of the bank and still
give the depositors in time a greater
percentage of the value of their de
posits than they would otherwise
secure. This plan, the speaker
thought would give much nearer a
100 per cent return than would oth
erwise be possible. There was no
truth, Mr. Richey stated that any
one was trying to avoid the pay
ment cf their assessment and each
stockholder would be assessed his
full share of stock on the 100 per
cent liability.
The agreement provided and which
was read by Mr. Richey was as fol
lows: IT IS HEREBY AGREED between
said undersigned depositors and
creditors, having deposits and claims
of $50.00 or more, and the said First
National Bank of Plattsmouth. Ne
braska, that an assessment of stock
holders liability be levied upon the
stockholders of said bank by order of
the Comptroller of the Currency; that
five (5) trustees shall be selected by
said depositors and creditors, one of
whom shall be a stockholder, and
four of whom shall be depositors, the
majority vote of said depositors to
decide said selection; which trustees
upon subscribing an oath to account
for and distribute the funds from the
assets of said bank, shall be entitled
to receive from said bank all of the
assets thereof; and to sell, dispose of
trade, extend, renew, compromise, sue
and collect or otherwise convert into
cash any and all of the assets of said
bank for the purpose of liquidating
the claims of said depositors, and tc
receive and collect from the stock
holders of said bank their stockhold
ers' liability, and to pay out the pro
ceeds thereof to the liquidation of
the claims of said depositors and
creditors in prorata; after paying
their necessary expenses in connec
tion with said trusteeship, and the
claims in full of all depositors and
creditors .having deposits and claims
aggregating less than $50.00.
If the collection from such asset?
shall be sufficient to pay in full all
expenses and to pay in full the claims
of all depositors and creditors, then
the surplus shall be applied first to
the repayment of the stockholders
liability collected pro rata, and the
overplus to go to the general stock
holders in pro rata payments accord
ing to the amount of stock held by
them.
And the said trustees are hereby
empowered to employ such assistants
help, and attorney as in their judg
ment may be necessary, and to pay
for the same such wages and fees as
in their judgment may be proper;
this agreement being their authority
to perform all acts as in their judg
ment may be necessary in connection
with the duties of such trusteeship
Said trustees are to receive no com
pensation of their services, but are
to receive their necessary and actual
expenses paid out in connection with
such trusteeship.
Whenever the cash funds collect
ed shall be sufficient to pay the ex
penses of said trusteeship then in
curred and to pay all depositors and
creditors having deposits or claims
aggregating less than $50.00, and tc
pay five per cent or more on the
amount of depositors and creditors
having deposits of $50.00 or more
than said trustees shall immidiatelv
distribute such amount pro rata tc
said depositors and creditors accord
ing to the amounts of their rcposiU
or claims.
Upon the delivery of all the asset
of said bank by proper transfer to
said trustees as provided for in this
agreement including stockholders'
liability, that said trustees, or their
successors, shall have the power tc
collect the. stockholders' liability in
stead of and in lieu of the personr
authorized to collect such liabilities
under the statutes, then said First
National Bank of Plattsmouth. Ne
braska, shall be relieved of all fur
ther liabilities and duties to said de
positors. In case of a vacancy occurring in
the number of the trustees, the re
maining trustees 1 hereunder shall
have power to fill 'such vacancy, and
the person or persons so selected
upon subscribing to the oath to ac
count for the property coming intc
his or their hands as such trustees
shall have all the duty, power and
authority of trustees as if originally
sslected.
This agreement shall be subject to
the approval of Che Comptroller of
the Currency of the United States of
America, and upon such approval
and the acceptance of this agree
ment by said bank, and all deposi
tors and creditors having deposits or
claims of $50 or more, shall be in fur
force and efTect.
William Wilson, federal bank ex
aminer, who has been here looking
after the examination of the defunct
bank, was called upon and stated that
he had been sent here wltli instruc
tions to secure as much money for
the depositors as possible, he had
tried to plan and work for the best
interest of the depositors of the bank.
Under the agreement that had been
drawn the trustees would be named
by the creditors and depositors in
the defunct bank and if the right
men were not selected it was thn
fault of the depositors themselves as
they had the voice in the naming of
the trustees. It was time for all to
work together in a community pro-
osition to secure as good a liquida
tion as possible and to avoid work
ing unnecessary hadships on the
residents or the community ana mat
might be involved in the bank. It
was also necessary to have volunteer
workers to get out and see all the
depositors with the agreements and
was a hard task but should be carried
on until all had been seen. No one
was forced to sign but they could
have the matter presented to them
with a view of having them act in
their own interests and that of the
community. Under the plan as out
lined Mr. Wilson stated the trustees
would dispose of all the notes pos
sible to the other banks and with
the money now on hand in the bank
would be used in making the initial
payment and clearing up all depositr
of $50 and under and then turned
to the settlement of the other ac
counts. The other assets would be
placed in the hands of the trustees
for their sale and liquidation a?
rapidly as possible and as soon ar
sufficient money for a five per cent
dividend was accumulated this
amount would be paid over to the
creditors and deposit ors of the bank.
Mr. Wilson condemned as untrue the
statement that notes had been dis
posed of by the bank before its clos
ing at less than the face value and
stated that 100 cents on the dollar
had been realized on all of the notes
that had been sold. The purchaser
of the notes had been a friend of the
community and he would be given
full recognition when the matter
was cleared up. Mr. Wilson stated
he thought the plan that had been
presented was the best that had been
offered and would give the greatest
results.
In response to a question Mr. Rich
ey stated that he did not know the
exact amount of the deposits under
$50 but that the total of the de
posits of $100 and under was $13,000
and he thought the fifty dollar and
under deposits would be between
$5,000 and $6,000.
It was explained that the assess
ment of the liability of the stock
holders would be made by the comp
troller of the currency and this
amount turned into the hands of the
trustees.
A. G. Cole, of Denver, one of the
stockholders stated that he was pre
pared to pay over his $2,000. repre
senting his 20 shares of stock and
that all of the stockholders that could
would pay their assessment without
protest. The law gave the trustees
the right to do all things that the
receiver might do and would avoid all j
of the expense as the receiver would
have to receive not less than $300 per
month and also have to have office
help and attorneys that would add
to thP PTTTiPtise of thP rpreivprshir.
The plan as suggested was one that
should give the very best of results
to all concerned and give a cheaper
and quicker liquidation of the bank
assets. j
All depositors are urged to call at
the bank as soon as possible in or-
der to carry out the work of the ad-
justment and all possible should get
in within the next two davs and de-
cide upon the course to be followed.
Those who can should call as it will
lessen the work of the committee of
workers to secure the signing of the i
agreements. J

gement of the business, altho Mr.
Bach has continued to assist at time?
in the conduct of the South Park
store of the Bach firm.
The community has lost a worthy
citizen and the family a kind anc
devoted husband, father and grand
father in the passing of Mr. Bach
and in their sorrow they will carry
with them the sympathy of the com

business at Essen for a number of
years before coming to the United
States in the year 1S79 when he
arrived at Plattsmouth. and making
this city his home since that time
In IS 82 he started the grocery
firm of A. G. Bach which has been
one of the leading institutions of
the city since that time. He con
tinued in this line of trade until
1921 when he retired from active
work. To Mr. and Mrs. Bach there
were born seven children, five of
whom died while children, two being
buried in Germany and three here.
The two children living are August
Barh of this city and Mrs. Mathilda
Welsh of Omaha. There are also
seven grandchildren and seven great
grandchildren surviving.
In the year 191S Mr. and Mrs.
Bach celebrated their golden wed
ding anniversary at the home in this
city and which was very largely at
tended by the eld time friends and
neighbors.
The funeral services will be held
on Friday morning at 10 o'clock from

ber for a lifetime.
AD0LPH QUITS BUSINESS
From Tuesday's Dally
The soft drink parlor at the cor
ner of Fifth and Main streets, which
has been in charge of Adolph Geise
for the past ten years, has closed its
doors and the soft drink successor of
the drink that made "Milwaukee
Famous" is no more.
In the days before the great drouth
of May 1, 1917, this corner was a
favorite spot for those who loved
their Schlitz and was under the di
rection of Mr. Geise for some ten i
years prior to being changed into a !
soft drink parlor. The attraction of j
the beverages that now flow is not I
sufficient to encourage the playing cf
pinochle and other card games and
with the advancing years of Adolph
he will now take a deserved rest.
CARD OF THANKS
Our most heartfelt thanks and ap
preciation is extended to the many
kind friends and neighbors who so
kindly administered to us during the
loss of our beloved son and brother.
The memory of the kind acts and
loving sympathy will linger with us
