She was a devoted mother and a kind and pleasant neighbor, and the friends and ac quaintances who have known .her during the many years she has re sided in the county, will miss her departure more than words can tel). The follow obituary is taken from the Sioux City Journal of April 19th: "Mrs. Margaret Ashford, who ex perienced the hardships of the early days, when the northwest was un settled and inhabited by Indians, died early yesterday of senility at her home at Homer, Neb., after an illness of two months. She was 83 years old. The Ashford family for years has been one of the most prominent families of northeastern Nebraska, having lived in Dakota county since the 60s. Mrs. Ashford was an ex tensive land owner. Her husband, Thomas Ashford, died nine years ago yesterday, within the corres ponding hour of Mrs. Ashford's death. Mrs. Ashford before her marriage was Margaret Duggan. She was born on June 24, 18U3, at Shandan gan, Ireland. In 1851 she came to America with her parents, who set tled in Dakota county in'1857. She was married to Mr, Ashford at Jack son, Neb., in 18G1. The couple set tled on a farm near Homer, where they lived for many years. When Mr. and Mrs. Ashford start ed to farm thero were no railways in Nebarska. It was necessary to transport their products to Omaha by wagon. From that point they obtained their necessaries until Sioux City developed. Mr. Ashford built the first brick house in northeastern Nebras ka. The brick used in its construc tion was burned by him for another man who had planned to build a hotel. The hotel project did not materialize, so a part of the brick was used in the bunding of a home for the Ashford family. Mrs. Ash ford lived in the Iioubo from the time it was finished until her death. Mrs, Ashford was active in the Dakota County Old Settlers' associa tion. She had been a member of tho association since its founding. Eight Children wer,e born to Mr. and Mrs. Ashford. Five of these are living. They are Thomes Ash ford and George Ashford, bankers, of Homer; Mrs. W. II. Ryan, of Ho mer; John Ashford, a merchant, of Winnebago, Neb., and Mrs. C. II, Maxwell, of Dakota City. Neb.

Frank Uffing, Hubbard, Neb. Before the war began there was a vtry decided movement against liquor drinking in Germany. Es pecially was this' true in large fac tories, where the evil effects of drink on the work of the men was taken into consideration. Many of the large manufacturing plants had substituted tea for the beer that had formerly been consumed by the men at the dinner hour. The tea was prepared in the build ings and sent up to the men in bottles, and it was found that the substitution had increased the effi ciency of the men from fifteen to twenty per cent.
