Elijah Ratncur
Long Time Resi
dent of County
Deceased Resident of Weeping Water
Here Since 1870 Second Old
est Mason in the State.
Elijah Ratnour was born the 22nd
day of March, 1841, at Plymouth,
Wavue county. Michigan, where he
sptnt his childhood.
He was united in noiy mauimuHf
to Hllen Sellick, .July 3rd, IS 65.
They moved to Weeping Water, Ne
braska in October, 1S70, where he
resided, until his demise.
There were four children born to
this union, two having preceded
their father in death. Mrs. Ratnour,
the good wife and mother, passed
away August 20th, 1911.
p'-jtiior Untnour. as he was loving
ly known to his many friends, unit
ed with the Methodist episcopal
church in his early years, and was
an active, faithful member until Ins
depa rture.
Those left to mourn his translation
are his daughter, Eliza, of Los xn
geles. California, and his son, Her
bert, of this city, besides many other
relatives and friends.
Brother Ratnour came to Weep-ino-
wntpr a? a nioneer nearly 60
years ago, and contributed greatly in
making of our town wnat it. is to
day. Many of the buildings here
worn rprt pl li v his skill. The Weep
ing Water Public Library building

which he was so prcud, owes a great
deal to this fine soldier of Christ.
lie assisted in the erection of the
building many years ago, and he also
became cr.e of the human corner
stones of its spiritual structure, and
we can confidently say thut he was
one of the most devoted of its mem
bers. Christ was more than an his
torical figure to him. He was a liv
ing reality. He enjoyed the worship
of God: he was constant in attend
ance at all services of the church.
The regular weekly prayer meeting
was a blessing to him, aiui ou u
when tho members were few he
would say "There are enough to
claim God's promises." He v.-as in
deed a faithful member, and he truly
tried to live as he interpreted God's
will. We shall miss him, but be
cause of his example we can carry
on.
Brother Elijah was the second
oldest Mason in the state of Nebras
ka, and a charter member of Eu
clid Lodge. A. F. & A. M., of Weep
ing Water. For thirty years he was
treasurer of the local lodge and re
tained the books until the time of
his rising to higher rank above. Un
til the last year or so he attended
all the lodge meetings. The Masonic
fraternity had a very warm friend
in its defender. Brother Ratnour.
As a lover of nature he certainly
held high rank. As an evidence cf
his profound respect and love for
God's creation, as those stately trees
from the coiner of the Methodist
church building northward beyond
his home and thence east, testify to
the esteem in which he held all of
God's creation. He also erected pret
ty little bird houses, appropriately
fashioned and decorated, for the lit
tle birds wrho made their homes at
his place In the spring and summer.
Every spring the beautiful Martins
for whom he prepared a home at his
place, came there and raised their
young until the time of migration.
Mr. Ratnour was highly respected
by all who knew him; he played his
part well as a citizen. He was in
deed truly in love with his home
town, and delighted to see it advance
and prosper.
They talked and walked down many
years.
The way was called the vale of
tears;
But he who walked with Gcd re
ceived Such comfort that he little griev
ed; And walking thus, and talking so.
The man of God fared onward
slow,
Until they reached a secret spot,
God took him and the man was
not.
Funeral services were held at the
home church, Rev. George A. Morey,
his pastor, officiating. By special
ronnoet music was rendered by the
girl's choir. Mr. Ratnour enjoyed
these Binders so much wfcil able to
attend the service.
