of Young Manhood at Akron
At an early hour last Saturday morn

stricken by heart disease and expired in

the other members of the waiting train
crew they being informed of the sad
fact by a passing stockman who had a
shipment of livestock in the train and
who found the body in going along the
train
The indications are that the deceased
sank to his knees by the train and ex
pired instantly without being able to
make an outcry or attract the attention
of his fellqw trainmen who awaited the
completion of his check to resume their
journey eastward
Bert McCarl was a magnificent speci
men of young manhood vigorous and
robust and his sudden taking off came
as a great and painful shock to his
many friends and acquaintances in Mc
Cook and with crushing force to the
mother and sisters and brothers Mrs
McCarl had just about arrived at the
home of a brother of hers in Kansas
when the news of the sons death reach
ed her there Her home coming was
particularly pathetic and sad The
members of the stricken family have the
spontaneous and genuine sympathy of
the city in the great sorrow that has so
unexpectedly and swiftly come into their
midst in the death of their greatly-beloved
son and brother
Bert L McCarl was born in Knox
ville fowa June 30th 1871 Came to
Nebraska with the family in 1890 mak
ing his home in Hastings until 1891

very simple and brief character by Rev
M B Carman of the Methodist church
There was a prayer reading of a selec
tion of scripture and a short biograph
ical sketch by Rev Carman and the

Mrs W A James Mr S B McLlean
and Mr C F Heber chanted the Lords
prayer and sang Nearer My God to
Thee

A F A M laid away the remains in
the use of the impressive and beautiful
ritualistic service of the order The
order also attended the funeral in a
body and accompanied the remains to
the cemetery as a guard of honor
While it was the purpose of the family
that the funeral be a simple and private
affair there was a large outpouring of

at the cemetary and the evidences of
tenderest sympathy for the bereaved
mother sisters and brothers were
general throughout the city
