A few days ago our peaceful and happy community was shocked by the news that an accident had oc curred in which Dale Patterson was severely and fatally burned. Dale wa3 rushed to an Omaha hospital where medical treatment was given as speedily as possible. At first the report came back that the injuries were not so serious as at first thought But within twenty-four hours relief came in a form, that though painful to us, to Dale we may be assured was not unwelcome. One of the largest gatherings ever . assembled gathered at the Congrega tional church at 2:30 Sunday after- ' noon to perform the last rites, and to express heartfelt sympathy with the father, mother, sisters, brothers, rela tives and friends. Rev. G. It. Birch, Dale's pastor, had charge of the ser vice and was assisted by the Girl's Glee Club of the high school under the direction of Miss Constance Cruickshank. They sang three beau tiful selections, "Savior Like a Shep herd Lead Us," "The Lord Is My Shepherd," and "Abide With Me." The local troop of Boy Scouts, of which Dale was a member, attended in a body and added much to the impressiveness of the services. Scout Executive Carlton Hyde.

Sterling Gentry and Charles Watson, all of Nebraska City gave their assistance to Dan Switzer, the local Scoutmaster, and his troop. J. J. Meier, chairman of the troop committee, was also in attendance. The floral offering was one of the largest and most beautiful every con tributed and was a loving tribute from the many friends, relatives and class mates of the deceased. The pall bearers, who were Dale's class mates, were Allen Kreiger, John Day, Donald Sogard. Robert Norton. Henry Smith and Raymond Laurit zen. Interment was made in Oakwood Cemetery. j Obituary.
