FUNERAL RITES FOR
MRS. ENGLEHAUPT
HELD WEDNESDAY
Succumbs To Heart Ailment At
O’Neill Hospital. Had Lived
In Holt County 57 Years.
Mrs Anna Malloy Englehaupt
died at the O’Neill hospital last
Monday morning after an illness
of several weeks of heart trouble
at the age of 71 years, 7 months
and 16 days. The funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon from
the Presbyterian church, Rev. Ar
thur Sengpiehl of Chambers offici
ating, and burial in Prospect Hill
cemetery.
Anna Molly Van Cleve was born
at Van Meter, Iowa, on October 27,
1866. In 1881 she came to this
county with her parents, coming
here from Diller, Johnson county,
Nebr. On November 27, 1884, she
was united in marriage to Michael
Englehaupt, the ceremony being
performed in this city. This union
was blessed with thirteen children,
ten of whom, five sons and five
daughters, with her husband, are
left to mourn the passing of a kind
and devoted wife and mother.
The children are: Newton J.,
Lawrence, Kans.; Michael R., of
Crook, Colo.; William A., Sunny
vale, Cal.; Nellie M. Bodewig, of
Unity, Oregon; Barbara A. Van
Cleve, Unity, Oregon; Alice Bow
ering, Doty, Wash; Oliver F. Bart
lett, Wendall, Idaho; Violet H.
Stewart, Amelia; Thomas F.,
Chambers; Arthur C., Chambers.
In addition to her immediate family
she leaves fifty-eight grandchildren
and thirteen great grandchildren,
and a sister, Mrs. Alice Crawford
of Charleston, Nebr., who was here
for the funeral.
Mrs. Englehaupt was a resident
of this county for most of her life.
After her marriage they lived in
this city for one yar and in 1885
they moved to a homestead he had
taken in the southwestern part of
the county. In 1893 they moved to
Idaho where they remained only
for one year and then came back
to this city and made their resi
dence here for six years, moving
to their farm in the southwestern
part of the county in 1900, which
had been their home since that
time. She was one of the real old
pioneers of the county and had a
host of friends in the southwestern
part of the county who will regret
to learn of her passing.
Two Local Girls Named
To Public School Faculty
' At a meeting of the school board
last Thursday night, Ira L. George
of Osmond, was elected to teach
history in the O’Neill public schools
and as band instructor.
At the same meeting Loretta
Enright, of this city, was elected to
teach the Second grade for the
coming school year, and Miss Eliza
beth Henry, daughter of Mrs.
Birdie Henry, was elected to teach
the First grade.
The Frontier has always main
tained that O’Neill girls, when they
are qualified, should be employed
to teach the O’Neill public schools
and the board should not go outside
the city to find teachers when com
petent teachers can be found here
at home. We are glad to see that
the members of the school board
are becoming convinced that there
was merit in our contention.
L. G. Gillespie Files As
Legislative Candidate
L. G. Gillespie paid his filing fee
into the office of the county treas
urer last Saturday and on Monday
filed with the secretary of state as
a candidate for member of the
unicameral legislature from this
district. The district is at present
represented by Frank J. Brady of
Atkinson, and he has filed for re
election. Mr. Gillespie represented
this county in the lower house in
the 1935 session and he made a
good record as a lawmaker. He
was a candidate for the unicameral
two years ago, but was defeated
by Frank J. Brady.
The Weather
The weather has been warm the
past week and a little dry. We had
.43 of an inch of moisture here
last Thursday and Thursday even
ing, but the rain did not cover a
very wide area and small grain
over the county is in need of rain.
Corn is doing fine, but farmers say
that small erain in most of the
county is needing rain badly. A
nice shower fell at noon today and
rain cloiids are still hovering over
ms. The precipitiation was .27
of an inch.
Following is the weather chart
for the week:
High Low Mois.

Albert Carson Married
Last Week At Chadron
On Tuesday, June 7, at 10:30
a. m. at the Congregational par
sonage at Chadron, Nebr., occurred
the marriage of Miss Lela C. Evans
and Mr. J. Albert Carson. The
ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Newland of the Chadron Con
gregational church. They were
attended by Miss Iris Carson, a
siter of the groom, and LeRoy
Evans, brother of the bride.
Mr. Carson is the eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Carson of
Redbird, Nebr. He is graduate of
the Lynch high school and since
that time has been engaged in
farming with his father. His bride
is the elder daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Rex Evans of Hay Springs,
Nebr. She is a graduate of the
Chadron Prep school, and has com
pleted the two year college course
at Chadron Normal. She has also
attended the Colorado State Teach
er’s college at Greeley. For the
past several years she has been a
successful teacher in the schools
of Sheridan and Cherry counties.
After a trip to Denver and other
points west, they will make their
home on the farm at Redbird.
SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
A mud pageant would be a fit
ting celebration of the transforma
tion rains have brought about.
The E. E. Young family were
favored with a visit last week from
Mr. Young’s parents, who came up
from their home at Dresden, Kans.
Having retired from business in
Emmet, Lloyd James has been
managing affairs at the ranch
down here since Alfred was con
fined in a hospital at Burwell.
Wolf hounds from off to the
southwest made a raid at the James
ranch and secured the persons of
four turkey hens that were about
to come off of the nests with
their hatch.
Getting the equipment in work
ing order for the summer’s go in
harvest and hay field at the Wat
son ranch entailed a trip to O’Neill
last Thursday by the senior Mr.
Watson to secure some repairs.
The words of a Texas couple
ought to be worth something. After
more than 81 years of life together,
he at 109, she at 105, have this to
offer: “Have unwavering faith in
God, work hard and be moderate
in all things. Don’t worry about
money.”
The ministers of distilled and
brewed liquid propaganda huve
spent one hundred million in news
paper advertising to tell us they
have the real fountain of youth
and the cigarette manufacturers
would have us believe that they
have the fruit of the tree of life
in their particular brand. Cruel
realities disclose the toper with a
face like a canned tomato, and the
cigarette smoker a cough like a
consumptive.
Neither Dr. Roosevelt, Herr Hit
ler, Mahatma Gandhi, the Oxford
Group, Italy’s bogus Julius Ceaser
nor Pat McManus up at O’Neill
have been able to concoct out of
the apothecary’s shop of reform
a potent pill for the world-wide
headache.
An engineer and fireman stopped
their locomotive in a mountainious
region of Colorado and rescued a
deer by killing a mountain lion with
a coal pick. That out-classes my
own encounter with the snake
which two meadow larks were do
ing their best to subdue.
With the graduates of a Colorado
school flaunting as a motto, “PWA,
here we come,” and two Nebraska
college bred young men injured,
one fatally, in Idaho under circum
stances as reported indicating they
were traveling in a box car, a
screw must be loose in the educa
tional system.
Superanuated citizens in whom
visions had been inspired of round
ing out their pilgrimage in opul
ency with a $200 pension find it has
become a stipend of little more
than $17. It is not likely to exceed
that amount., vet many will con
tinue to be hoodwinked into sup
porting political demagogues who
promise big things.
“What fools these mortals be”
was a discovery made in Shake
speare’s day. And we get no bet
ter fast, as verified by a 65-year
old member of the official White
House group taking on a 25-year
old bride, and a New York matron
embracing with a kiss the young
devil who made her daughter an
expectant mother and then killed
her.
In 1918 Gen Pershing said to
Gen. Foch: “I have come to say to
you that the American people
would be proud to be engaged in
the greatest battle of history.”
Somehow these words don’t seem
quite so “hot” as they did 20 years
ago. We thought we had a mission
then to save civilization. Today it
looks as if mighty little of it were
worth saving.
We were favored Sunday with a
visit from Mr. and Mrs. George
Meals and George’s mother, Mrs.
Hannah Meals of Valdez, Alaska,
who has spent the past year with
her son and family on the farm
near Atkinson. Mrs. Meals was for
many years a resident of O’Neill,
where she still retains the old home
property, the Jack Meals place in
the southeast part of town.
Considering myself more or less
of a bogus farmer, when I look at
the neighbors about me, those who
have substantial land holdings, well
stocked, good homes, money in the
banks and their profitable ranch
ing program having been built up
by frugality and good horse sense
—they are the ones who will have
nothing to do with this whole
triple-A proposition down at Wash
ington.
Two riders came out of the west
Friday, one on a raw bronc. At the
bridge just down the road was an
exhibition of horsemanship to in
duce the little dun-colored rascal
to cross. Pluging, rearing and
just plain bronc contrariness it
stood braced against the bridge ap
proach until the other horse yanked
him across with a rope sunbbed to
the saddle horn. And the boys
went on their way with an easy
lope.
Awakening from the spree that
involved many in the trek to the
northwest, some going from here
would like to be back on the old
ranch in southwest Holt. When you
bid goodbye to the open air, to the
open sky, to the endless miles of
verdant green where feed the herds
of Hereford and Shorthorn, the
matchless water from deep wells,
the “sunset and evening star,” the
pink glow of early morning on the
prairie, the charm of tinted bloom
in radiant colors on hill and mea
dow, the sweep of winds, the
mighty fury in the storm, neigh
bors, home, friends of a lifetime—
what is there to go to ?
MILO EPPENBAUGH
IS DEAD OF ELEVEN
MONTH OLD INJURY
Funeral Services Held At O’Neill
Methodist Church Tuesday
Afternoon.
Milo Eppenbaugh, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Julius Eppenbaugh living
northeast of this city, died at his
home last Sunday morning, at the
age of 25 years, one month and
seven days. The funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock
from the M. E. church, Rev. A. J.
May officiating and burial in Pros
pect Hill cemetery.
Milo Eppenbaugh was born on
May 5, 1913, on the farm northeast
of this city and had been a resident
of the county all his life. He was
a strong and rugged young man
until he was thrown from a horse
about eleven months ago, the horse
falling back on him, and he never
recovered from this injury, gradu
ally growing weaker until death
claimed him last Sunday morning.
Milo leaves his aged parents, five
brothers and six sisters to mourn
the passing of a kind and affection
ate son and brother. The other
members of the family are: Ruth
Morgan, Hazel McClenahan, Paul
ine Leise and Fay Bailey, O’Neill;
Ernest, Vern, Lyle, Earl, Lois,
Doris and Dale, at home.
Father Isadore Dwyer
Returns Here To Visit
Mrs. H. J. Birmingham, Mrs. W.
J. Froelich and C. E. Stout drove to
Omaha last Wednesday where they
met Mr. Froelich and Father Isa
dore, who came out from Chicago
that morning and they returned
home that evening. Father Isa
dore Dwyer, C. P., who is now sta
tioned at Sierra Madre, Cal., had
been in Chicago and came out with
Mr. Froelich for a couple of weeks
visit with the old time friends in
the old home town. Father Isadore
is a brother of Mrs. C. E. Stout
and an uncle of Mrs. Birmingham
and Mrs. Froelich. He is spend
ing his vacation here at the Froe
lich home.
During his years in the priest
hood Father Isadore has spent sev
eral years holding missions in
South America and in Mexico and
came to the old home town to get
a needed rest. There are not many
now living here who knew Father
Isadore when he was Richard F.
Dwyer before he left the Michigan
settlement to study for the priest
hood. That was a good many years
ago and those now here, who were
then young lads like Father Isa
dore, are now also well along in
years with their once dark and
golden locks turning gray.
We had a short visit with Father
Isadore the end of the week, and
hope to have another before he
leaves for his western home, as
we knew him when he was a resi
dent of the Michigan settlement,
and we know that we would enjoy
a good long visit.
Attend PCA Meeting
At North Platte, Nebr.
James W. Rooney, secretary
treasurer of the O’Neill Produc
tion Credit association, returned
Tuesdav evening from attending a
meeting of the Secretary-Treasur
ers and Boards of the Production
Credit associations in western Ne
braska, held at North Platte on
Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Rooney
was accompanied to the meeting
by Dewey Schaffer of Emmet, A.
U. Dix of Butte, M. F. Grabble of
O’Neill, and Otto Oberg of Eric
son, members of the board of di
rectors of the O’Neill association.
Mr. Rooney says that crops are
fine between here and North Platte,
except for a strip in Valley dounty,
starting about 4 miles west of
Ericson and covering a strip of
country about four miles wide and
twenty-four miles long, that was
visited by a destructive hail storm
last Thursday night.
Crops in the section of the storm
were smashed into the ground,
even pastures were ruined. Farm
ers in the stricken territory were
cutting their ruined rye to try and
save some of it for feed. He says
that the hoppers are numerous
and are liable to ruin crops unless
something intervenes to get them
out of the country.
Loses Finger Tip In
Blue Grass Stripper
Ray Eidenmiller met with a pain
ful accident last Tuesday morning
that cost him the tip of the middle
finger of his right hand. He was
unloading blue grass strippers
when in some manner he caught
his finger somewhere on the con
traption with the result that the
tip of his finger was taken off. Dr.
Carter dressed the injured finger
and Ray is getting along nicely.

night clerk at the Golden Hotel for
the past five years, tendered his
resignation the first of the week

PAYMENT OF OVERDUE TAXES NOW
MEANS RIG SAVINGS IN INTEREST
Do you own real estate on which
there are unpaid taxes long past
due? If you do, you will be in
terested in this.
If paying these taxes on or be
fore Dec. 31, 1938, you can save a
good many dollars which otherwise
will be charged against the pro
perty as interest on unpaid taxes.
For example, if your Holt county
property is valued for tax pur
poses at two thousand dollars, and
taxes have not been paid since
1930, you can save approximately
$65 in interest which will be can
celled if you pay sometime within
the next six months. Likewise, if
your property is valued at approxi
mately $8,000, the saving you can
make by paying taxes now will be
approximately $275.
By state law, interest is cancelled
on all taxes delinquent on or prior
to March 19, 1937. Interest is
charged at seven per cent after
that date, so the longer you wait
to pay your delinquent taxes, the
less will be your savings. Beside
the saving in cancelled interest you
may save additional expensen and
trouble in retaining title to your
property by paying now. Some
cities and villages in Holt county
already have purchased tax sale
certificates on tax delinquent real
estate, and the county board of
supervisors has passed a resolution
whereby the county soon will start
purchasing tax sale certificates.
This newspaper requested Coun
ty Treasurer B. T. Winchell to fig
ure up some examples of the sav
ing that a delinquent taxpayer can
make by taking advantage of the
interest cancellation law. The fig
ures in the table below show what
two delinquent taxpayers in Holt
county saved by paying their back
taxes on June 6, 1938.
Similar savings, although grow
ing less each day, can be made by
payment on or before Dec. 31, 1938.

midnight all thoroughly enjoyed
the tempting viands that were
spread for them. A good time is
