NATHANIEL HUNTER BUYS
HALF-INTEREST IN
OBEE UNDERTAKING CO.
Invites Friendkt and Strangers to Re
ception Sunday.
Horn on Farm.
The subject of this sketch was bom
on a farm in Missouri, where his fath
er was a substantial farmer for many
years.
Reared on Ranch in Kansas.
After the passing away of his moth
er his father sold the farm in Missouri
and bought a ranch many miles west
of Fort Scott, Kan. Riding bronchos,
herding cattle and fighting Indians
grew monotonous to this energetic
youth and this feeling, as he said, was
accentuated after he visited the then
i
NATHANIEL HUNTER
(as he saw it) great metropolis of
Fort Scott. The bright lights of that
famous city and fortress could be seen
by him for many a long mile over the
bare prairie, and I must not forget, as
lie has almost forgotten, to mention
the beauty and charm of the fairer sex
that the rough ranchman had chanced
to meet on his few visits thereto. It
was, therefore, this double call that
impelled him to hit the trail, after his
father’s death, for the land of civiliza
tion and life.
Visits Many States; Goes Into Busi
ness.
From Kansas he visited many of the
states and large cities, finally stop
ping in St. Louis, where he went into
the shoe shining business and at one
time held all the concessions in that
city, also at the fair grounds during
the exposition. He showed great
energy ami push in these enterprises
and realized a handsome income. It
was during this period of frenzied
financing that he met, wooed and wed
his charming, capable and helpful lit
tle wife, and it is to her that he at
tributes so much of his success.
Comes to Nebraska.
He came to Omaha in 1906 and en
gaged in his favored pursuit until he
took his present position as messengei
of the United States National bank
His honesty and integrity are unques
tioned by this great financial institu
tion, where he is entrusted with thou
sands of dollars every day. He haf
become a property owner since his ar
rival here and has taken a great inter
est in the public welfare of his people
and devoted many hours, both day and
night, to the upbuilding of lodges.
Lodge Work.
He has been an active member ol
the Masons and Knights of Pythias foi
many years; was elected master of hit
Masonic lodge and chancellor com
mander of the Knights of Pythias foi
several years, and has worked his waj
to the top in the Uniform Rank. Hr
was made a thirty-third degree Mason
at Philadelphia, Pa., in 1915, and is
also royal patron of the Eastern Star,
Was head of the local Shriners lodge
here for several years and is now im
perial deputy and a sovereign grand
inspector general and deputy grand
commander of state of Nebraska,
These honors are only attained by
long, honest and energetic application,
They are the insignia of hard, humble
work, fraught with a wonderful pa
tience.
Now in the Undertaking Business.
Mr. Hunter has just bought a half
interest in the Obee Undertaking com
pany, where he will put forth the same
honest efforts and courteous treat
ment that has made his former suc
cesses possible.
Come to Reception.
He cordially invites the patronage
and cooperation of his many friends,
and hopes to meet and get acquainted
with any and all strangers. He there
fore extends a special invitation to all
lodge members, friends and strangers
to his opening reception, Sunday, the
18th, from 2 to 7 p. m., to meet the
members of the firm and partake of a
light repast at 2706 Parker Btreet.

A LETTER FROM CAMP FUNSTON
19th Infantry, 365th Regiment,
Camp Funston, Kan., Nov. 14.
Rev. J. A. Williams:
Dear Sir—I would have written
sooner, but as I am in the infirmary,
where all the troops in this regiment
are vaccinated for smallpox and inoc
ulated against typhoid, that we have
been working night and day, hence the
delay.
We have been expecting more troops
every day, as this (the 365th) regi
ment is only about half filled, but no
new recruits have arrived for over a
week.
Earl Wheeler has left the adjutant’s
office and returned to Company M,
where he is now company clerk. Wynn
McCullough is still in the adjutant’s
office, with Andrew Reed. Tommy
Mason is in charge of the regimental
postoffice and seems to keep the mail
moving like a veteran postmaster.
All the Omaha boys have taken to
the life of a soldier readily, as I have
missed them entirely at the dispen
sary, where I dispense medicine foi
the whole regiment. Many of them
are looking forward to the coming of
ficers’ training course and working
hard to get a chance to prove them
selves capable of commissions.
New supplies are arriving daily and
all of us expect to be in khaki uni
forms within another week. We are
still reading The Monitor, which we
get every wreek*
Most all the cooks are competent
and it must be said to their credit that
we get better meals than in most
hotels and restaurants.
Respectfully,
PRIVATE ELMER MORRIS,
Pharmacist, 19th Infirmary.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express hereby our most
sincere thanks for the kindness and
sympathy extended us by every one
j during the sickness and death of our

stewardess board of the A. M. E.
church, Aramanth Chapter No. 2, the

TO RAISE TWO MILLION
FOR SOLDIER BOYS
Washington, D. C., Nov. 8.—A na
tional organization called the Colored
Comfort Committee was effected here
last week to raise $2,000,000 for the
relief of the Colored soldiers and their
dependents. Prof. Kelly Miller, dean
of Howard university, was chosen
president; J. C. Napier of Nashville,
vice president, and Ralph Tyler, for
mer auditor of the navy, secretary.
A SONG OF THANKS
For eyes to see this autumn world,
And lips to sing its beauty;
For feet to take the happy trail
Of winter’s waiting duty;
Tor light of home and love of friends
And wholesome joy of living;
For grace to know my good estate,
Thanksgiving!
