Obituary
The Herald is in receipt of a copy of
The Star, published at Union, Iowa,
issue of May 21, containing the follow
ing obituary of one of the pioneers of
Box Butte county, who was well known
here five or six years ago:
Levi Rubottom was born in White Lick,
Morgan county, Ind., October 2nd, 1826,
and died at the home of his son, Charley,
in Providence township, May i8th. iqoo.
aged 82 years, 7 months and :G days.
He was one of the pioneers of this
country, coming to this state on foot in
1850 and returning to Indiana the same
year. In 1852 he married Louisa A.
Thompson, a sister of J. D. Thompson of
Honey Creek community. Ten children
were born to them, Viola, Rudolph, Ludo-
via, Thompson, Alwida, Charley, Elva,
Ulysls, Florence and Vinton, seven of
whom are still living. In the year 1857
they moved to Iowa and settled in Warren
county, living there until 1866 when they
removed to Hardin county and settled on
a farm near Chester. February 15th,
1880, his wife passed away. March 1882
he was again married to Jennie Hammer.
who still survives him. In 1886 they re
moved to Alliance, Nebr., where he re
sided until 1904 when he returned to Iowa
and has since made his home with his son.
He was converted in early life and has
lived a consistent Christian life during all
these years.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
Doaneof New Providence, assisted by Rev.
Dowles of Honey Creek were held at the
Honey Creek church Wednesday at 2 10
and interment was at Honey Creek ceme
tery.
A large number of his old neighbors and
friends attended the funeral service in
evidence of the love and esteem they bore
the deceased.
Rev. Doane spoke feelingly from the
text, ''Blessed are the dead, who die in
the Lord, henceforth. For they rest from
their labors and their works do follow
them." Six young men, all of whom were
relatives, acted as pall bearers, and a
granddaughter sang a beautiful solo at the
church and two granddaughters sang a
duet at the home before leaving for the
church.
Life's race well run,
Life's work well done,
Life's victory won,
Now cometh rest.
Faith yields to sight,
Day follows night,
Jesus gives light,,
Now cometh rest.

We, tho fa mom claw of 1009, yoo know,
Hail from where the largest and best spuds

Together we aro wortn half a legion,
Hlnce we'ro all products of tho sand hill
region.
We're proud we belong to tlie great northwest,
The section that claims to prodnco tlio best.
And leasts of her talcnw, One and rare,
.lust as good as may be found elsewhere.
Last year at tho Stato Declamatory contest,
Three competent Judges said" Cecil was

So ho now ranks as an orator ot note,
Since tlio statu accorded him this lienor by
vote.
Cecil In both good looking and witty,
A favorite among the girls In our city.
I'rom the number, hu has choocu a precious
pearl,
Miss Nclllo O'Donnell, a high school girl.
Henry Krajlcok, too, has bright honors won.
And In known o'er the town an tho plucky 0110.
Although ho did not win out at tho last,
Ho can with some of the best orators bo
classed.
Heinle always jumps in with nil his might
When there ts anything worth catching In
sight.
Elizabeth, our prudent and practical member,
Is far from being a smoldering ember.
Sho has taken her mother's place in tho
home,
And does not care verj much to ro.nn,
BI10 Is always busy, t.nkntlvo and gay,
And to Bchool duties doth strict attention pay.
Elizabeth's tho one who writes tlio prose,
And doesn't npprovo of too many beaut.
MInclle Highland, who's so charming nnd
smart,
Knows Jnst how tocaptlvatoa lioj's heart.
8ho was very good at this when small,
And hasn't departed from It at all,
Sho is halidoomc, attract lvo and good,
And for tho right principles always hue
stood.
In her homo yu'll llnd choice literature and
art;
Thercforo sho's learned to lovo good things
from the start.
Now, Miuellu does the very best qualities
possess,
And has been a brilliant leader all through
A. 1KB.
Claro Mewhlrter Is big and strong and Meet,
And by common consent our champlan athlete.
After four If you wish to locate him.
Just go to tho underground floor, tho "gym",
There you will find 1dm performing greut
feats
With some ot tho other high school athletes.
Nelllo O'Donnell is always happy and free.
And one more capable you seldom can see.
She has a winning way and n pleasant smile
And a disposition that's very hard to rllo.
Nellie's energetic, Intelligent and sweet.
And Is an "all round" girl that's hard to beat.
Nottlo Nation, who is dlgnlfled and tall,
Is an expert In the gymnasium hull;
Iu this none of tho girls with her can compare,
And none of the boys excepting (Mare.
Nettle has never been tardyor missed a day
Since sho entered the high school, tho teach
ers say;
You don't often hear of a record like this.
And it's boasted ot by no other Miss.
Tho quiet 0110 of the class, jou w 111 remember,
Is tho talented Winifred Iletebener.
tTntlke Elizabeth, and Cecil, too,
Sho expresses her thoaghts iu words a fow.
Innlo Is a clever though innocent eoouottu.
And one of the best girls that iou ever met.
She cares very little for show,
Hut is an ideal schoolmate, you know
Paul Taylor, who Is so industrious and wise.
Hasbeun working for the mathematical prize.
0 think he has shown great courage and irrlt
In working so hard to make a "hit".
Now Paul being so lino looking, good natured
ami smart,
Has broken many a school girl's heart.
Mabel Carey Is Jolly, saucy and bright,
Ann in our class room a Khlnlng light.
Sho adorns our parties, und makes us gay,
With her clever savlnira that alwiivn waIpIi.

Wo expect some day In tho world to shine.
He has neer been known to shirk duty or
Hunk.
Hut the very mention of a Crosby rouses his
spunk.
Helen Is our Ideal girl to entertain,
And no one with her could o'er complain j
Her home Is made merry with frequent guests
Called by her kind anil urgent requests;
Her sunny presence surpassed by none
Mako all regret when their visit's done.
A blonde of tho animated typo is she,
And a theatrical star of high degree.
As for mjKolf, I will not apotheosize,
Hut tho teachers will, I hope aud surmise.
Now, dear classmates, long may you lho and
shine
Elko tho bright blossoms on a pumpkin vine;
Anil may jour good deedti o'er tho land be
spread
Like tho pretty squash vines In a sand hill bed;
And may God's wisdom shlno unclouded o'er
each soul
And lead by its light divine to tho eternal goal.
