Passing of Mrs. Mary Peck Brings Sorrow to Many Funeral of Well Loved Resident of County is Held at Old Home ; at Weeping Water. j Mary A. Boyd was born on the 8th day of August, 1834. and depart ed this life February 4th, 1928, at the Masonic Home . at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, at the age of 94 years, hav ing passed to the life beyond with joy and expectancy. She was reared in New York state, and was united in -marriage with Mr. i Hiram Peck, April 16th, 1872. Mrs. Peck came to Weeping Water with her husband about 35 years ago, hav ing previously lived in Lincoln, Ne braska, for a short time. One son, Harry, now in California, survives the mother, her husband having pre ceded her in death several years ago. In writing this life sketch of Mrs. Peck we are not positive of the dates herein mentioned, but have inquired of various friends and neighbors and IS ( the above data is the result. On December 16th, 1923. Mrs. Peck consented to enter the Masonic Infirmary at Plattsmouth, and for the past two years and more she has re-, ceived the very best of care and at tention from the nurses and officials of the home, who cared for her a though she was. their own kindred. The writer visited the home and call ed on Mrs. Peck and found her the most cheerful and contented of all the inmates. She wished for nothing to make her happiness complete and her gratitude to the Masonic Breth ren and their beautiful ministry of love and relief could never be ex pressed in words, but her smiles were radiant with a language that was fully understood and appreciated. j Mrs. Peck was greatly loved and esteemed by all who knew her. Some of her friends and neighbors phoned or came to see the writer and said in substance, "I always felt better after my visit with Mrs. Mary Peek." She was the widow of a G. A. R. veteran.) a worthy soldier of Uncle Sam. and ! as a member of the Woman's Relief ! Corps she was always active and, contributed her mite to make others! h 'i nnv t Funeral services, which were beau tiful in their simplicity, were held in the First Methodist church on last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, under the direction of the Masonic lodge of this city and the Woman's Relief Corps. An inspiring sermon, a tribute of love and esteem, was given by Rev. George A. Morey. Sev- eral beautiful hymns. including "Over There" and "Abide with Me" were sung by the church quartet, composed ot Mrs. Henry Ruhga, Mrs. Ethel Ratnour, Milford Hoback and Asa Rector, accompanied at the or gan by Mrs. Roy Haslam. E. B. Tay lor, S. J. Marshall, J. J. Meier, Oscar Domingo, W. W. Davis and J. C. Leh man, members of the Masonic frater nity, served as pall bearers. Inter ment was made in Oakwood cemetery, where the beloved mother, wife and sister was laid to her last long rest beside the grave of her husband. The casket and flowers were very beautiful and the beautiful stand ards bearing the Stars and Stripej, placed at each end of the casket were effective in recalling the noble life which Mrs. Peck lived. Everything that loving hearts and human hands" could do, was done for this dear mother. "It matters not which road I take. How dark or long it be; I know, oh God. 'twill some where join The road that leads to Thee." Weeping Water Republican. You are reading right now about one of the greatest economy events of the month Wednesday, Feb. 15th, is Bargain Day.

Wilea felled one of the larg est trees in the yard at his home in this city this week, and was much surprised to find that the tre must have undoubtedly have attained the great age of nearly 150 years, and perhaps more. 135 annual rings are discernible, but because of decay in the heart of the tree it is impos sible to count the exact number of i years which this sentinel of the one time prairie land has kept its silent .guard. The tree is a large white .elm f which stood in the yard near the east j wall of the house. At one time a Denu in tne creeK Drougni a stream of water thru or very near the spot where the tree stood and this is thought to have been its protection from fires set on the prairie by the Indians. Accordingly the tree must be one of the oldest in this vicinity and pos sibly in Nebraska, yet discovered. Most certainly, however, it grew here long before the advance of the white man and civilization. Weep ing Water Republican. SUFFERS LOSS BY FIRE Men's Dress Shirts Fancy new patterns.

Mr. Lawton will in a short time begin the work of rebuilding the home for the mother. The building was a two story house and the upper story was greatly damaged. PER ACRE Now is the Time to Buy Cass County Land! SEE Sear! S. Davis j doubling of their capital investment. jThis is an accomplishment that is j 'doubtless many years in the future j and in the meantime the only anti-j dote for the grade crossing peril is! care on the part of th' driver of the' automobile. It may not be generally: known that a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States virtually places all responsibility on the autoist. The language of the court and fts logic arc impressive: "When a man goes upon a rail road track," says the opinion, "he knows that !' goes to a place where !he will be killed if a train comes up on him before he is clear of track. He knows that be must : for the train, not the train stop him. In such circumstances it seems to us that if p. driver cannot be sure otherwise whether a train is danger ously near he must, stop and get out" of his vehicle, although obviously he will not often be required to do more than stop and look. It seems to us that if he relies upon not hearing the train or any signal and takes no fur ther precaution, he does so at his own risk." The soundness of the court's opin ion is borne out by the fact that the great majority of crossing collission ;; between train and automobile occur in broad daylight and at points where the view is unobstructed, and also that many automobiles crash into the side of trains, conditions which ordi nary care would prevent. Fred" Smith and Raymond Merger, 1oc:-l Chevrolet dealers lust return- led from Omaha where they attended their annual Chevrolet convention 'and banquet, with 700 other dealers of the midwest. The gathering was lone of the series of sales meetings ! conducted by officials of the company j on a nation-wide circuit, the primary purpose being to conduct an cduca itional campaign which would result j in better cooperation between the dealers and the factories in their , plan to market 1, 000,000 cars in 1!2S. Mr. Klinger, general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor com pany, was the toast master and in his ! principal address dwelt on certain ' features which he believed would be important for Chevrolet in 192S. "I am just a confident of selling that 1.000.000 cars this year as if I had sold them now," the Chevrolet chiem declared. Mr. Smith and Mr. Ilerger both are very optimistic for they believe that the midwest faces a prosperous year rnd that they will sell more than .their full quota of Chei volet cars this year. The meeting was the most elabor ate and comprehensive session of its kind ever held in the motor industry. Speeches were illustrated in the form of playlets depicting the proper procedure to be followed in the suc cessful operation of a retail auto- the i mobile business. More than a car ton i load -of show equipment with a spec- forjial show crew was brought to Oma ha to provide the setting for the meeting. More scenery, curtains and drops were used in the presentation of the Chevrolet program than are usually employed by large theatrical productions. Following the afternoon meeting the 700 dealers were guests of th' Chevrolet Motor company at an elab orate banquet at the Fontenelle Hotel where Mr. II. J. Klinger. Gen eral Sales Manager of the Chevrolet Motor company presided as host. The day's program wa.s the ninth of a series of forty-three similar ses sions that are being held this win ter spring from coast to coast.
