Death of Tom
Straub, Pioneer
of Near Avoca
Member of One of Best Known Fam
ilies of Southern Cass County,
Dies on Wednesday.
Thomas H. Straub, G6, son of the
founders of "Straub settlement" near
Avoca. long a colorful figure of that
community, died at his home Wed
nesday morning at 11 o'clock.
Straub suffered a stroke Tuesday
from which he never regained con
sciousness. It was his third attack
within the oast nine months. Two
weeks ago he returned to Avoca after
a long seige in an Omaha hospital.
He was born on the old Straub
homestead near Avoca March 1, 1869,
the fourth son of David and Elizabeth
Straub, who settled in the new
prarie country and founded a town.
Later the town was moved when
the Missouri Pacific railroad was
built through this territory.
He lived all of his life in and
around the Avoca community. After
retiring from farming he set up an
automobile agency and implement
store, jokingly referring to it, at
first, as "Tom Straub, Not Inc." The
name stuck and his business bore
that title until his death.
Tom Straub never married. He
lived alone in his home until illness
niade it imperative that help be close
at hand. Mr. and T3rs. Lee Haupt
maiin have been caring for him since.
Of a Jovial nature, he acquired
during years of active life a wide
circle of friends. For years he held
various offices in Trinity Lutheran
church, the congregation founded by
his father and mother.
Although funeral services will be
held from the church final arrange
ments have not yet been made.
He is survived by four brothers,
David, Vincent, Max, prominent
Avoca farmers and livestock men, and
William Straub. president of the
Farmers Mutual Insurance company
of Lincoln.

been without a head since May 15,
when Bishop Joseph F. Rurumel left
to become archbishop of New Orleans.
The appointment of so outstand
ing a clergyman and one already a

garded by Omaha Catholics as an in
dication of the high, esteem in which
the diocese is held by the Vatican.

nally in Indianapolis. He will be 49
years old next December 15. He is
described by Mrs. Arthur Mullen of
Omaha, who has known him for 10
years, as genial and democratic, but
always dignified. He is personally
very popular in Washington and is
said to be an excellent speaker,)
though no orator. He Is dark-haired,
of medium height, bulky and slight
ly stooped.
Bishop Ryan is one of the church's
leading scholars and an authority on
scholastic philosophy. He Is an ablej
executive and during his seven years
of president of Catholic university he
Increased the enrollment and endow-
ment greatly.
The new bishop was educated at
Duquesne university, Pittsburg, and
at Mount St. Mary's Seminary in the
West, at Cincinnati.

Because of the extra Live Power real working power now at
your command in Standard Red Crown, you get long, low-cost mile
age. But economy isn't the only big feature of this 1935 gasoline.
The increased power output has a twofold purpose: (1) to restore,
in older motors, a maj'or share of their former speed, keenness and
vigor; (2) to give new-car owners the full performance capacity of
the 1935 motors.
And Standard Red Crown, of course, also has an abundance of
Tetraethyl, the finest anti-knock fluid known.
From any angle, it is the best buy in gasoline today. Stop for a
