Death of J. H.
McMaken, Long
Time Resident
Passing of Man Who Had a Very
Active Part in Community Life
Occurs Saturday Night.
Joseph H. McMaken, 71, a life
time resident of Plattsmouth and
Cass county, a community leader
down through many years, died Sat
urday evening at his home in the
north part of the city after a linger
ing illness that has covered a number
of weeks ad followed two years of
failing health.
Joseph H. McMaken, sone of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry C. McMaken, was
born in Cass county on December 11,
1867, where he has lived out his life
as a useful citizen and a man whose
every thought was for the upbuilding
of the community.
From his early boyhood days Mr.
McMaken has been a tireless worker
and no task was too severe to un
dertake if he felt that it was neces
sary to be done. This he demon
strated in the years that he was
associated with his father and later
when he operated a general contract
ing business as well as draying and
trucking lines.
Reaching manhood's estate he was
married in November, 1S91, at
Plattsmouth to Miss Emma Busche,
who survives his passing, as well as
four sons and one daughter, Henry
C, and Fred McMaken of Omaha;
Rae and Joseph G. McMaken of this
city and Mrs. Gladys Taylor of Wy
more. There is also to mourn his
death one brother and two sisters,
Edward McMaken and Mrs. Walter
Scott of Sheridan, Wyoming and Mrs.
Eva Reese of Hugo, Colorado. There
are also a large number of grand
children to share the sorrow of the
passing of this good man.
Mr. McMaken will long be remem
bered by those who had the privilege
of knowing him best, of realizing
the great sympathy that he held for
his fellow man and his many con
tributions made for the comfort or
aid of others, carried out in his
quiet and unassuming way.
To the community in which h
had lived he was an untiring worker
and actively identified a3 long as his
physical condition would permit with
the Chamber of Commerce and other
civic bodies. He was also a member
of the Plattsmouth city council for
several terms and to the last main
tained a keen interest in the busi
ness of the city government.
FUNERAL OF J. H. McMAKEN
Tuesday afternoon while the city
paused to honor his memory, the
funeral services for Joseph II. Mc
Maken were held at the Sattler fun
eral home at Fourth and Vine streets,
very largely attended by the old
time friends arid associates of Mr.
McMaken in this city as well as many
from Omaha.
Rev. J. C. Lowson, pastor of the
First Methodist church, conducted
the services and paid tribute to the
long and useful life of Mr. McMaken
in the community.
During the services Mrs. E. H.
YVescott gave two numbers, "Sun of
My Soul" and "Nearer My God to
Thee," with Mr. Wescott as the ac
companist for the numbers.
At the conclusion of the service
the body was borne to the Oak Hill
cemetery where it was laid to the
last rest, the pall bearers being se
lected from the old time friends and
neighbors and representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce, S. S. Davis,
Fred I. Rea, C. C. "Wescott, County
Treasurer John E. Turner, William
C. Tippens and William J. Howland.
HERE FROM WEST COAST
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Carrithers of
Long Beach, California, are enjoying
a visit for some time with the rela

have the opportunity of visiting with

More Orderly
Departure from
School Planned
"Cross Streets at Intersections" to be
First Rule of the New Boy
Scout Safety Patrol. .
For a long time attention fcr.s been
directed to the hap-hazard manner in
which school children string out on
their way home on leaving the pub
lic school grounds on Main street.
But up to the present time nothing
has been done about it.
Monday night, however a meet
ing was held to discuss the matter
and work out plans for a safety pa
trol, to help direct traffic at the dif
ferent Main street crossings, from
9th street east to 6th street. This
meeting was attended by Chief of
Police Barclay, Supt. L. S. Devoe and
Scoutmaster Raymond Larson, to
gether with other Scouters and a
number of the Boy Scouts them
selves. The whole purpose of the
meeting was to work out plans for
a more orderly departure from the
school grounds when school is dis
missed at the noon hour and again
in the afternoon.
Since high school, junior high and
grade pupils are all dismissed at the
same time at noon, the greatest con
gestion occurs then. In the after
noon, grade pupils are dismissed at
an earlier hour than pupils of the
high school and the number swarm
ing out onto the street is not so
great, nevertheless sufficient to cre
ate a traffic hazard.
The first concensus of the meet
ing was that "jaywalking" must be
stopped. Large numbers of students,
particularly those from the high
school cut diagonally across Main
street in front of the school building
and climb the sloping parking to
reach the sidewalk on the south
side of the street.
Starting next week, when the new
regulations go into effect, students
will be required to cross only at in
tersections and then in straight lines
instead of diagonally.
Students who reside in the south
part of town, and west of Sixth may
cross at any intersection they wish
Avest of Sixth. The Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth street intersections will
be patrolled, however, and afford the
greatest safety.
Students who reside in the south
part of town and east of Sixth, will
be directed to walk down High school
hill on the north sidewalk, across
the Sixth street intersection, which
will be patrolled by regular city
policemen. From that point they
may cross Main street at any in
tersection they wish, but find great
est safety crossing at Sixth to Wurl's
store corner, where a stop sign halts
car traffic.
All students living north of Main
street will be expected to remain on
that side of the street, going west
or east a3 the case may be, unless
they have business south of Main,
and in that event shall cross at the
Sixth street intersection, either to
the Crabill corner or Wurl corner,
depending on what part of the busi
nesssection they desire to reach.
Boy Scout School Patrols
Boy Scout patrols will be set up,
clothed with plenty of authority to
handle traffic situations. They will
wear white police belts, similar to
those worn by Scout patrols in Om
aha and other cities and will carry
hand "Stop" and "Go" signals to
halt motor traffic at the intersections
they patrol while the students make
a safe crossing.'
The boys" (many of whom are as
sisting in patrolling side streets dur
ing the Korn Karnival this week)
were given explicit instructions on
their duties by Chief Barclay, Supt.
Devoe, Scoutmaster Larson and
Scout Committeeman E. H. Wescott,
who resides in the vicinity of the
school grounds and has observed
many narrow escapes among children
who cut across the street in the path

of autos passing up and down High
school hilK.
Least cautious of all the groups,
it was said, are the High school
students, themselves, who should set
the example for younger pupils, in
stead of taking the reckless chances
they frequently do.
Throughout the school system this
week, discussion is being engaged in
by the teachers and pupils looking
toward a more orderly exit from the
school grounds.
Next Tuesday, after they have re
ceived further instructions, the first
Boy Scout patrol will begin opera
tion, and, it is expected, continue
throughout the school year. Boys
serving on this patrol will be ro
tated from week to week and dis
missed from school a few minutes
in advance of the regular group, so
they can reach their respective in
tersections ahead of the student
body. '
Their efforts the first few days
will be applied in front of the school
prounds, advising pupils not to cross
the street between intersections. As
soon as pupils have been given a few
days in which to break themselves
of this dangerous habit, the rule
against "jay-walking" will be rigid
ly enforced.
Then, the Scout patrol can devote
its entire time to patroling intersec
tions, halting motorists while groups
of students cross in safety, and like
wise holding back students when
cars have the right-of-way.
The whole program is inaugurated
in the interest of safety and as such
should receive the support and com
mendation of parents, teachers and
student body, as well as motorists,
whose first duty is to safeguard the
lives of the hundreds of pupils who
twice daily go to and from school.
