Judge Elder Posses Away
Judge William C. Eldor, ono of
Lincoln county's most widely known
and moit highly respected citizens,
passed to the beyond at 3:15 yesterday
rooming at hia home on west Seventh
street in this city. The dissolution of
soul and body came not unexpected. For
several weeks hia condition had been
such as to precludo any hopo of reeov-
ery, and neart tauueneu relatives ana
friends became to a great extent recon
ciled to the great loss that muat come
to them.
The death of Judge Elder is a distinct
Ions to North Platte and Lincoln county,
for no man in the county stood nearer
to ho many of our people; no ono more
highly respected; no one to whom
would bo oxtended the helping hand
wore that help needed. That this condi
tion was true, is the best evidenced by
Judge Elder's long nnd successful polit
ical career. For twenty-two years the
people of Lincoln county retained him
In elective officer first as clerk of tha
district court and later as county judge.
Though at times the opposition was
strong, the majority of the voters re
posed In him that confldenco which war
ranted their elective suffrage.
To a certain extent Judge Elder was
at uncut diamond; benoath the oft-times
bruiqueneBS of manner wns a heart as
soft ns a child's, that warmed far tho
unfortunate, and yot did not thwart
justice when he was called upon to ad
minister it so frequently. To many he
wan a counselor in time of trouble, and
to friend and stranfr he was accom
modating almost to a fault, giving his
time when it caused no little Inconven
ience. tJudge Eldor wss intensely pat
riotic, his lovo of country was ever
strong, and for a number of years ho
had been patriotic instructor in tho
public schools, an honorable appoint
ment made by th Grand Commander
of the Grand Army of the Republic, an
organization of which he was a stead
fast and earnest member.
In the positions in which Judgo
Eldor was place) ho never betrayed
his trust; he was faithful, honest,
sincere; one in whom . the people had
the utmost common'1,
Personally this writer feels that in
denth of Judge Elder he has lost n
friend that cannot be replaced. , For
nearly thirty years he hud mot the
Judge daily In the tran""Mon of busl
ncsa, in political matteru or friondly
calls. In this daily contact the strength
of the Judge's character and his in tog
rity was learned; and for this he was
greatly admired.
W. C. Elder was "rn in Indiana
County, Pa., in September, 1845, and
moved with hia fnthr to Green
County, las, in 1853. He served during
tho war in Company "C", 39th Iowa
Infantry.
lie mude his first trip to Nebraska in
1880, coming to lied Willow county,
whero he took n timber claim and later
moved to that county with his family.
In 1881 he ciuno to Lincoln county and
lived the first year on a place owned by
I. B. Dostwjck, also of this county,
about two miles east of whore Well
fleet Is now located, and In 1882 ho took
up a homestead about two miles west
of Wolllleot, where ho resided until
18S9 when he became clerk ef the dis
trict court of this county, which office
he held until January 1st, 190-1. In
November, 1904, he was elected county
judge, which office he held until the
present time.
He is survived by n wife, five children-
and six step-daughters and one'
step-Bon. The children are O. B.
Mrs. Guy Boyer and Coulter of this
