Pioneer Banker Passes
Away In Atkinson
—
Fred Swingley.one of the pioneer
residents of the county and for
the past forty years a prominent |
banker in Atkinson, died at his,
home in that city last Saturday,
after an illness of several months.
Funeral services were held in At
kinson last Sunday and the body
was then taken to Sioux City and
shipped to his old home at Leaf
River, Illinois, for interment. A i
large delegation of old time friends
of Mr. Swingley’s went up from
this city Sunday to attend the
funeral services. Mr. and Mrs. E.
M. Gallagher and Mr. and Mrs. H.
J. Birmingham went to Leaf River
to- attend the funeral services,
which were held last Tuesday after
noon. Fred was about 72 years of
age at the time of his death.
Fred Swingley came to O’Neill
from Illinois about fifty years ago
and accepted a position in the First
National bank of this city. He
held his position in the bank here
for several years until 1898 or ’99
when he went to Atkinson to take
the position as cashier of the new
First National bank that had been
established there by E. F. Galla
gher and T. F. Birmingham and
that city had been his home up to
the time of his death. Fred was
a number one citizen and a good
banker. Probably no man in the
western part of the county had
more friends than he, especially
among the old timers of that sec
tion of the county. He was always
a booster and his passing will be
regretted by many friends in this
city as well as in his home town of
Atkinson.
Frank Kubichek
Frank Kubichek passed away in
Memorial Hospital in Casper, Wyo.,
last Tuesday, after an illness of a
little over a week of heart trouble,
at the age of 68 years and nine
j months. The body was brought to
this city and the funeral was held
at 9 o’clock this morning from St.
Patrick’s church, Rev. Father O’
Brien, of Emmet, officiating and
burial in Calvary cementery.
Mr. and Mrs. Kubichek went to
Casper a couple of weeks ago and
expected to remain there for the
winter visiting their daughters.
Frank had not been feeling good for
a few weeks and thought the
change of climate might be bene
I ficial, but his condition became
alarming a little over a week ago
and he was taken to a hospital
where he passed away.
r i ttiin. ivuuitiicA uuui m
Bohemia on February 24, 1871.
While still in his teens the family
came to the United States and they
! came to this county in 1882, coming
here from David City, Nebr.
Frank located on a farm northwest
of this city where he resided until
he came to town about twenty-five
years ago. On October 4, 1898,
he was united in marriage to Miss
Susan Ernst. Nine children were
born of this union, two sons and
seven daughters, eight of whom
with their mother are left to mourn
his passing. The children are:
Mrs. Frances Hagerty, Mrs. Cath
erine Timlin, Casper, Wyo.; Mrs.
Rose Long, Lance Creek, Wyo.;
Mrs. Madeline McManamy, O’Neill;
Mrs. Bernice Ward, Tyndall, S. D.;
Mrs. Mildred Hancock, O’Neill;
Wilfred Kubichek, Casper, Wyo.;
Meriam Kubichek, O’Neill. His
mother, Mrs. Anna Kubichek, is
102 years of age and is in good
health. She makes her home with
a daughter, Mrs. Mary Winkler in
South Dakota.
Mr. and Mrs. Norris Bowen, of
Ladysmith, Wis., were in the city
this morning on their way to Lin
coln after a visit with relatives in
the Atkinson neighborhood. Mr.
Bowen is the son of Judge Bowen,
county judge of this county in the
early nineties, and had not been
back to- the old scenes for over a
quarter of p century. He was of
the opinion that O’Neill had made
great strides forward in that per
iod and was headed for the top as
the biggest and best town in north
central Nebraska.
Miss Helen Biglin entertained
the Martez Club at a seven o’clock
dinner at the M and M cafe on
Tuesday night, followed by cards at;
her home.
