Obituary. . - Fredericka Kamn was born in Shutterzell, Germany on the 12th of March, 1S52. Here the days of her youth were spent, coming to America in 1870 at the age of 18.

In 1875 the young couple came to Lan caster county, Nebraska, and settled on a farm a few miles east of Walton. Upon the death of her husband in 1910 she moved to Eagle and lived there till failing health took her to the home of her daughter where she passed away the evening of the 26th or April, 1935.

Wetenkamp of Lincoln, Mrs. Helen Meyer of Lincoln and Mrs. Bertha Oelschlager of Ovid, Colorado. One daughter, Lena, passed away eleven years ago. Two sisters still are living, Marie Ernst of Maine and Louise Walters of German-. Twenty three grandchildren and eight great grandchildren share the sorrow of the sens and daughters. She was a member of the Lutheran church but was kept from its services for some time by her infirmities. Her last weeks were filled with weakness and suffering, from which she now has found release.

Well the contest was a close one, but we were fortunate enough to win it by a 27 point lead. This means that we shall receive the picture and also be hosts to Prairie Home at a covered dish dinner and social hour. Watch these notes for further announce ments as to time and place. Let's not let up on the good work that we have been doing these past few weeks, though. Everyone come out to Sunday school next Sunday. Morning worship at 11. The ser mon by the pastor this week will be on the text: "Thou Shalt Have No Other God Before Me." What do you think of these words? Did they only apply to the Old Testament times? Does this mean that, "The Lord thy God is a jealous God?" Is the one weakness of God his jeal ousy? Be present at morning wor ship and hear the answers. Ep worth League at 6:00 p. m.

Funeral of J. D. Cross Attended by Large Number Services One of Largest Ever Held in Cass County and Attended by Hundreds of Friends. One of the most largely attended funerals ever held in Cass county was that of Jefferson D. Cross, pio neer resident of Liberty preainct, which was held at the Baptist church at Union on Saturday afternoon. So many of the old friends had gathered that it was impossible for them to gain aSmission to the church and loud speakers were used to carry the services to those in the basement of the church and on the grounds sur rounding the church. The prayer was given by Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Baptist church, while the sermon and eulogy was delivered by the Dr. H. G. Mc- Clusky, pastor of the First Presby terian church of Plattsmouth, who brought words of comfort and hope from the scriptures to the members of the bereaved family circle and the old time friends. During the service the Presbyterian male quartet composed of Frank A. Cloidt, L. D. Hiatt, H. G. McClusky and L. O. Minor, gave three of the old hymns, "Abide With Me," "Rock of Ages" and "Jesus Savior Pilot Me," favorites of the departed. The interment was at the Buck cemetery northwest of Union and the cortege that took its way to the last resting place was one of the largest seen in that part of the county, at testing the high esteem in which the deceased had been held by the asso ciates of practically a lifetime.
