New Bank Opens at Chambers.
Chambers Bugle: J. T. Pickard
and D. L. Johnston, both of Omaha,
arrived in Chambers Monday to at
tend the first annual meeting of the
stockholders of the South Fork State
, bank and to oversee the opening of the
bank for business.
; Some delay in opening for business
was caused by the failure of the rail
road to deliver the safe and fixtures
promptly. Monday and Tuesday were
devoted to installing the fixtures and
the bank began business Wednesday,
January 12, 1916.
It is but fair to say that both Mr.
Pickard and Mr. Johnston as well as
the cashier, C. E. Harden, have all
had experience in banking.
Mr. Pickard began his banking ex
perience in Illinois sixteen years ago.
After learning the business he was
cashier for seven years at Toluca, 111.
Having sold his interests in Illinois
he bought controlling interest in a
bank at Mason City, Iowa, and ran
that for some years when he sold out
his interest there and moved to
Omaha. He now owns a large part
of the capital of the Bank of Benson,
a suburb of Omaha. This is a most
successful and growing institution.
Mr. Johnston, after having been
admitted to the bar, entered the St.
Paul National bank at St. Paul, Neb.,
in 1887, in which institutiqn he was
assistant cashier. He says he worked
in a bank in order that he might learn
the business for helping him in law.
In 1880 Mr. Johnston moved to
Omaha where he has since resided
and practiced his profession. Most
of his practice has been for banks.
For the last twenty years he was one
of the attorneys for the Omaha
National bank, the largest bank in the
state. He has had many cases for
other banks in Omaha and elsewhere.

Death of W. R. Lewis.
William Reece Lewis was born in
La Salle County, Illinois, August 31,
1847. In January 1877 he was united
in marriage with Flora D. Hite; and
in 1880 they came to Cass county, Ne
braska, near Bushberry. Ten years
later he heard the call of God saying
“Follow Me,” and ever since then he
has been a faithful follower of the
Lord.
In the fall of 1913 they came to
O’Neill, Holt County, Nebraska, where
he has lived till God took him or Jan
uary 8, 1916.
He leaves to mourn and wait for
that great day when families shall be
reunited, a loving and devoted wife,
and two daughters, Mrs. Viola
Maude Dimmitt, and Mrs. Alice Elray
Eidenmiller, both of O’Neill, Nebras
ka, and six grandchildren.
“What must it be to fall asleep at
night, *
And wkke at dawn in paradise fair
light?
What must it be to look with wonder
ing eyes
Upon the glory of the heavenly skies?
What must it be in mornings radient
dawn
To greet with rapturous joy our lov
ed ones gone ? .
And oh what bliss to feel God’s per
fect peace,
When earthly care, and pain, and sor
row cease.
With heavy hearts and souls by grief
made dull,
We mourn for those whose cup of joy
is full,
We miss each dear presence every
hour,
Their love was to our hearts like some
sweet flower.
Thank God, in Paradise love grows no
less,
But fuller in its holier blessedness.
Thank God that in the everlasting
years,
There are no partings and no bitter
tears,
Oh! saints at rest, your joyful peace
is deep,
For so he giveth his beloved sleep.”
Laid to rest in the Elmwood Ceme
tery at Elmwood, Nebraska, from the
M. E. Church. ***
Murphy-Geis.
Married, at the Catholic church in
this city last Tuesday morning at 7
o’clock, Joseph Murphy and Miss
Clara Geis, Rev. Father Ballou
officiating.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
und Mrs. Frank Geis, who live just
north of this city and is a very charm
ing young lady with many graces and
accomplishments and who has a host
of friends in this city and vicinity.
The groom, Joseph Murphy, is one
of O’Neill hustling young business
men. That he is a hustler was
evidenced last fall when he went after
and won the automobile given away by
The Frontier. It takes energy, hustle
and push to make a success in this
world and Joe promises to make his
mark in the business world. He is a
young man of good habits and has a
host of friends, not only in O’Neill but
throughout the county.
The young couple, after an eastern
honeymoon trip, will go to Wyoming,
where they will take up their residence
upon the farm of the groom, and the
best wishes of a host of Holt county
friends will accompany them, includ
ing The Frontier force.
