SOUTHWESTERN
BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Patriotic citizens like to have
confidence in their leadership.
That leadership has done but lit
tle these many months to inspire
■confidence.
Tom Baker recently received a
letter from his brother in England.
They have their spies and traitors
to deal with, but there is no other
thought in the minds of English
citizens but press on to victory.
Many and June have been
about the dampest period this
section has experienced in many
years, and unless the sun breaks
through and dispells the mists it
is going to be difficult to take
care of a whale of a hay crip
Hanging the family washing on
the line Monday is a tradition of
the American housewife. One
lady tells me she doesn’t get it
done as she has to rest on Mon
day from being worn out cooking
and entertaining company until a
late hour on Sunday. It is quite
probable a lot of good folks wear
out their welcome at other places
also.
The Glen Doolittle assaulted
-with three charges of shot as he
-was at work in a field on the farm
12 miles south of Lincoln a day
last week is a nephew of Tom
Doolittle of Amelia. Glen was
cultivating corn when the shots
were fired by someone concealed
in a fringe of timber along the
field. He was struck in the head,
arms and back, but not fatally
hurt.
Cap Addison was the first t.o
start a mower in the meadows of
this section, and with rain and
clouds about every day to hinder,
most of last week he was occu
pied at D. L. Withers in the Inez
neighborhood. The man with a
tractor mower is in great demand
this season. This Monday morn
ing forecasts a good week for
haying out this way.
“I said I would and so I will!
I’m Honest John from Bunker
Hill!” A declaration like that
coming from one of a group clus

tions that you hit with a maul to
see how stout you are had an ap
peal to a 10-year-old boy out to
celebrate the 4th. Bunker Hill!
Wasn't that the biggest thing as
sociated with the 4th of July?
And here was an Honest John di
rect from there. Nothing of that
4th of July remains in the mem
ory of that 10-year-old boy but
that one center of attraction on a
street in a Wisconsin town. John
was an artist among his kind.
With a lingo to outclass any auc
tioneer he kept the yoeman from
the country districts flocking
about him like flies on a bowl of
sweets. When a husky belted the
shaft to or above a given figure,
the magnanimous John would
reach for a cigar in a box and
with a flourish hand it to the
strong-armed gent as he declared
“I said I would and so I will!
I’m Honest John from Bunker
Hill!” The 4th of those long gone
years was a day of contests, noise
making, social contacts, lemonade
and peanuts. As we come into an
other 4th we are in a grave hour,
’ an hour in which we sense anew
our obligation to sustain at any
Cost—again the cost of blood and
tears and treasure—the national
heritage bequeathed us by Amer

The passing of Dick Murray re
moves about the last of the pio
neer dwellers who more than a
half century ago drove the home
stead trails out across the open
flats leading in to O’Neill from
the east, what is now known as
the Page country. Parker, Haines
ville. Middle Branch and a little
to the north Minneola, were the
community settlements of our
fathers. It was a tossup as to dis
tance from my father’s landed in
terests to either Parker or O’Neill
and there was much wagon,
horseback and foot traffic by our
“front yard.” Dick Murray was
among them on periodic trips in
to town. And there was Bill Pet
tis, George Haynes, Jim McTag
ert, Alex Boyd, Nick Grass, and
others whose names have faded
from the fog of the past. Even the
kids liked Dick Murray. When
children put their trust in one of
mature years there is nothing
more to say. Dick Murray was one
of the stalwarts of a breed of
/Stalwart men and women—men
¥ and women who “had what it
' takes,” as a picturesque wording

HENRY J. COOK
Henry Cook died at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Donohoe,
north of this city, Mrs. Donohoe
is a sister of Mr. Cook, Wednes
day morning at 9 o’clock, after
an illness of five years, at the age
of 87 years and twenty-seven
days. The funeral will be held to
morrow morning at 9 o’clock
from the Catholic church in this
city and burial in Calvary cem
etery.
Henry J. Cook was bom in
Scranton, Penn., on June 10, 1855.
In 1878 he came to this
county and had been a resident
of the county ever since, a period
of 63 years. On his arrival here
he took a homestead about eight
miles northwest of this city,
where he made his home for
many years. He was a good far
mer and prospered. He was fru
gal and industrious and accumu
of our day defines the solid citi
| zen. He was direct, straight-for
ward and to a tranger brutally
i frank. I saw him run once. We
were branding cattle. A 3-year
old got up from the sizzling iron
; and made for Dick, leaning on
' on a pitchfork nearby. He brought
the fork into action but the steer
kept on coming. It was then Dick
dropped the fork and run. An
apostle of good cheer, blending
I the humorous with the serious
fact of life, in this instant discre
I tion proved the better part of
! valor. Time, inexorable, relent
I ess, remorseless time moves on
: without haste, without slacking
the motion. The lengthening
shadows are gathering over the
remnants of those who started
the homes, the farms, the ranches
of Holt county’s vergin sod. We
would want our tribute to the
j memory of the dead, to the honor
of the living, to be something
deeper, wider, more enduring
I than sentimental gesture—an im
i perishable gratitude for an heri
tage of courage and fortitude
1 transcending time and space.
lated a competence and at the
time of his death was the owner
of about a section of good land as
well as some city property.
Henry never married and he
is survived by two sisters. Mrs.
Nell McHugh, of Butte, Mont.,
and Mrs. T. J. Donohoe of this
city, and several nephews and
nieces. His sister. Mrs. McHugh,
is coming from Butte for the fu
neral services.
Henry rented his farms and
moved to town in 1906 and he
was a resident of this city until j
1927, when failing health caused
him to move to the farm home of.
his sister, Mrs. T. J. Donohoe, i
where he made his home until
his death.
Henry Cook was one of the real
old timers of the county. Thei
first colony came out here in 1874
with General O'Neill and Mr. |
Cook was a member of a colony
that came from the coal mines of,
Pennsylvania four years later,
practically all of whom took
homesteads northwest of this
city. They were all hard workers
and the colony prospered. There
is but one of the real old settlers
of the Pennsylvania colony left,
Mrs. Menish, who is well along
| in the nineties, but in splendid
health, mentally and physically
alert and active.
Henry was one of the real char
acters of the early day. He was
an Irish gentleman of the old
school, with politeness and a
sense of humor one of his great
characteristics. Like all the other
old timers he went through many
hardships in the early days of
Holt county, but he persevered and
prospered and until his health be
gan to fail enjoyed himself. For
i the past fifteen years his health
has been poor and for the past
five years he has been bedfast.
He had many friends among the
residents of the county, who will
regret to learn of his passing.
MRS. BARBARA BOSHART
Mrs. Barbara Boshart passed
away at a hospital in Yankton,
S. D., last Sunday afternoon,
following an operation on Thurs
day, at the age of 82 years, three
months and sixteen days. Big
lin’s ambulance went over and
got the body and brought it to
O’Neill. The funeral was held at 2
o’clock Wednesday afternoon from
the Presbyterian church, Dr. John
E. Spencer officiating, and burial
in Prospect Hill Cemetery at the
side of her husband, who passed
away in January, 1934.
Barbara Erb was bom in Can
ada on March 12, 1860, and she
grew to womanhood in her native
country, and on September 10,
1878, she was united in marriage
to John Boshart, the ceremony
being performed at Wellesley,
Ontario, Canada. Eight children
were born of this union, three
sons and five daughters, two of
whom, a son and a daughter,
have passed away, leaving six
children to mourn the passing of
a kind and affectionate mother.
The children are: Mrs. George
Reichert, Hereford, S. D.; Ed
ward Boshart, O’Neill; Mrs. Wil
liam Phillips, Viewfield, S. D.;
Aaron Boshart, O’Neill; Martha
Boshart, O’Neill; Mrs. Clarence
Wrede, O’Neill. She is also sur
vived by eighteen grandchildren
and seven great grandchildren;
and two brothers and two sisters.
Shortly after her marriage the
family came to the United States
and settled at Seward, Nebraska,
from which place they came to
Holt county in the spring of 1884
and this county had been her
home ever since, a period of 58
years. In fact she spent the past
58 years of her life on the farm
they secured when they Best came
to this county, about ten miles
north of O'Neill. After the death
of her husband in 1934 the child
ren wanted her to make her
home with them, but she pre
ferred to remain on the old place
where she had lived for so many
years, and with her daughter they
made their home there. During
the summer months she would
visit her children, but always
wanted to be back home in the
fall and winter. She had always
enjoyed good health until the
past few months. She was taken
sick last Tuesday, while in South
Dakota, was taken to Yankton by
her son-in-law and daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Wrede, for
medical treatment. She submit
ted to an operation on Thursday,
Mrs. Wrede being with her at the
time, and she appeared to rally
splendidly from it. On Saturday
her sons, Aaron and Edward,
drove over to Yankton and visit
ed her and she seemed to be get
ting along nicely. But the shock
and infirmities due to advanced
years proved too much and she
passed away Sunday afternoon.
In the death of Mrs. Boshart,
Holt county loses another of its
real old pioneers, who suffered
many hardships in the early days
in this county and helped to build
it into a garden spot of the west.
She had a great many friends in
the northeastern part of the coun
ty who will regret to leam that
another of the pioneers has join
ed the ranks of the others who
have passed on.
MISS NORA SULLIVAN
The funeral of Miss Nora Sul
livan was held from St. Patrick’s
church last Tuesday morning at
9 o’clock, Monsignor J. G. McNa
mara officiating and burial inCal
vary cemetery. The body was
shipped here from Butte, Mont,
arriving here Monday morning.
Miss Sullivan was a native of
Ireland and was bom on October
18. 1846. She came to the United
States in May, 1870, and settled
in Hancock, Michigan, where she
had some relatives who had come
to the United States a few years
before. She lived there for sev
eral years and then came to
O’Neill in the early eighties, and
this city and county was her
home Until 1926. After the death
of her brother, Timothy, she went
to Butte. Mont. She lived in Butte
but a short time and then went
to Jeffers, Mont., to make her
home with a niece, Mrs. Kather
ine Mitchell, where she was liv
ing at the time of her death.
She leaves surviving a sister,
Mrs. Julia Young, of Hurley,
Wis.; seven nieces, Mrs. Nell Mc
Mullen, Miss Johanna Sullivan,
Mrs. Mary Carney, all of Butte;
Mrs. Neil Tierney, in Seattle,
Mamie Young, in Hurley, Wis.;
Mrs. Katherine Stoddard, in El
gin, Wis., and Mrs. Mitchell of
Jeffers. Also a nehew, William
Young, in Elgin, Wis., and several
grandnieces in Butte and Seattle.
Miss Sullivan was a remark
able woman and one of the real
old pioneers of this county. For
many years she lived in the Mich
igan settlement, northeast of
O’Neill, until her removal to
town, where she made her home
for many years. She was sick but
a week before she passed away
and, despite her age, she was
very active up to the last week.
Her mind was clear and she could
relate incidents of the early days
in the county, and in northern
Michigan with remarkable ac
curacy. So another of the real
old timers has passed to the great
beyond!

Wherry Brothers Store in Pawnee
City, has announced his candi
dacy today for the United States
Senate on the Republican ticket
Wherry, whose 1940 candidates
caravan and intense party organ
ization received national recogni
tion and secured for him the ap
pointment by National Chairman
Joseph W. Martin of Western
Director of the party in 22 states,
told the State Central Committee
meeting at Hastings that he was
resigning as State Chairman to
make the Senate race,
be to overcome and disarm those
nations whose political philos
ophy is aggressively incompatible
with the American form of gov
ernment, American standards of
living and individual freedom.
! America's most powerful weapon
is overwhelming production and
this power should be developed
to its fullest extent by efficient,
courageous, and united effort c
every American. The necessary
efficiency in the war effort which
will bring the war to a suceessfu
termination at the earliest mo
ment with a minimum loss of
American lives and property, can
only be accomplished if political
leaders abandon their efforts to
burden the war effort for political
1 advantage and to sponsor contro
versial political, social, and eco
nomic reforms.
“I believe that my long exper
ience as a merchant and farmer
gives me an understanding of the
, problems of the small business
| man and farmer. That at the
present time the representatives
of these people should exert their
energies to secure equal distribu
tion of the business benefits of
the war effort so that wherever
possible the small business man
will be assisted in surviving mer
chandise shortages during the
war period. Members of Congress
should carefully scrutinize every
limitation placed on small bus
iness and available supplies so
that only restrictions absolutely
necessary to victory be imposed.
After the war, business should be
given the benefit of American
1 free enterprise to its fullest ex
tent.”
I Continuing, Mr. Wherry said:
“Now and after the war the mem
bers of Congress should make ev
ery endeavor to insure the Amer
i ican workingman a job in Amer
! ican industry unrestricted by gov
ernmental controls, doles substi
tutes, or payment of exorbitant
fees for the privilege to work.
“We should lighten the present
heavy burden placed on agricul
ture by the war. The farmer
should be assured of the fullest
benefit of the American market,
American invention and indus
try. One of the country’s greatest
contributions toward winning the
war is by Nebraska’s farmers, i
They are helping feed not only
our fighting men but those of our |
allies. When the war has been
won they will help feed the world |
during the period of readjust-j
ment. It is essential that agricul
ture be strong. Since the nation
that has the food w. 'l have the
advantage in writing the peace,
it is necessary to the securing of
a just and lasting peace that we
not slacken our support of those!
measures strengthening agricul
ture.
We will not hesitate to exhaust
our resources to win the war. To
make certain that we win, we
must refrain from non-essential
spending. Non-essential expendi
tures can lose us the war and,
wreck the financial stability of
our nation.
“Even now the American peo
ple should be looking forward toj
the time when present adminis
tratlve emergency powers should
be returned.. There should be a
minimum of federal bureaucratic
control. In this way alone Amcr
ica will reap the benefit of de
mocracy which our people are
now making tremendous sacri
fices to save from foreign aggres
sion.
“As to the question of the
peace, it should be dictated by
the leadership of peoples' govern
ments and in the peace-making
the United States should have a
major part. It should be a peace
that will live and let live, which
is the only kind of peace that
will endure."
Mr. Wherry has long been
prominent in Nebraska politics,
having served in the Legislature
of the State in 1929 and 1931. Hi
was a candidate for the Repufc
iican nomination for governor i
1933 and United States senator i
1935. He was president of Repub
lican Founders' Day in 1938. In
the first World War he was in the
