Mrs. P. II. McEvoy died in an
Omaha hospital at ten o'clock last
Friday night from the effects of
appendicitis, George was first
attacked with this trouble just be
fore last Christmas, and later had
three other attacks. When he had
sufficiently recovered from the last,
he was taken to an Omaha hospital
and on May 22d was operated upon.
He passed through the operation
and for a week thereafter waB pro
nounced to be doing well. Last
Wednesday, however, he began
failing and Friday night .with Ins
father, mother and a brother sur
rounding his bedside, he passed to
the beyond.
The remains were brought home
Saturday night and the funeral
held at the Catholic church yester

large audience of sympathizing
friends.
George McEvoy was born Jan.
26th, 1878, at the barracks at old
Ft. McPherson southeast of this
city. The following year the
family moved here and have since
c n inucu ly orcsided. George at
tended school until about sixteen
years of age when he entered a
blacksmith shop to learn the trade
and at which he had since worked
He was a young man of excellent
habits; honest sober and Indus,
trious, and as the oldest of a large
family of children felt that much
depended upon him as an exemplar
Tor the younger His sturdiness,
kindness and disposition to aid his
parents as a dutiful son should,
placed him in a position where his
death is all the more keenly and
sorrowfully felt by the family, all
ot whom placed great dependence
upon him. George was the first
to be called of a family of twelve
children.
The deceased was a member of
the American Order ol Pro
tection and also of the fire de
partment. These as well as the
members of the graduating class
and individual friends sent hand-,
Botne floral pieces. To the family
is extended the sympathy ol our
people,
In speaking ot the failure of the
People's State Bnk at Gothen
burg, the Independent says:
So far no demonstrations have
been made and the depositors nil
seem to think that Mr. Lloyd will
put up a bond to guarantee the pay
ment of the depositors, and open
up the bank and collect the asset?.
Others think this will not be done
and that a receiver will be ap.
pointed to close up the bank's bus
iness."
