Norman, aged 72 years, 3 months, 1 day, at his home near Murray, Neb., on Wed nesday, Feb. 3, 1909, of heart failure. ' Funeral on Friday, Feb. 5. 1909. Interment at Eight Mile Grove cemetery. Old settlers In this section were greatly shocked to hear this morning of the passing of Norman Slocum, ono of the best known and highest re spected citizens of this section. From accounts received here his death was a very sudden one. He was in Murray yesterday and had quite a visit with his brother-in-law D. L. Amick, the stockman, returning to his home apparently In the best of health. Mr. Slocum lived some two miles from Murray. This morning Mr. Amick was shocked to hear of his sudden and fatal illness. After returning home last evening Mr. Slocum seemed to be In very good health and retired seemingly all right. He rose this morning at four o'clock and was about the house, re turning to bed In a short time still apparently in good health. About seven-thirty his family con cluded to call him for breakfast, he not having gotten up at his usual time. When they reached his room they were shocked to find him in deep pain and apparently on the verge of expiring. Dr. J. F. Drendel was hurriedly summoned from Mur ray and in company with Mr. Amick, made all possible speed to the bedside of the stricken man. Despite their efforts to reach him they were unsuccessful as he died before they could get to him with relief. Norman Slocum was born In Ohio on November 2, 1836 and Bpent his boyhood days In the Buckeye state emigrating to Nebraska when a young man. He first settled in this county many years ago and here he met and won Miss Minerva Amick, a daughter of the late Geo. L. Amick and sister of David L. Amick of Mur ray. To this union two children were born who still survive their father. These are Edward, a son, and Mrs. Ada Ferrlss, daughter, both of whom live near Murray. After his mar riage Mr. Slocum sold his Cass Coun ty farm and moved to Otoe County where he lived for a number of years, vho came to know him and to ad mire and respect him the more as the years went by. To all these the news of his untimely taking away cannot fall to come as a great blow and their sympathy goes out to the suffering widow and bereaved children left behind. In his lifetime deceased had been an exemplary and industrious citi zen and had accumulated a great deal of this world's goods, having well provided for those who are left be hind. He was not so far as known a member of any order save that great est of all the brotherhood of man and in this he ranked high, kind, loving, generous and noble. In his passing there goes a good man. The funeral of this good citizen will take place upon Friday next, Feb. 5, the hour not being set at this writing, and the Interment will be at Eiyht Mile Grove. , Farm for Sale. 167 acres of Improved Cass County land for Bale at $40.00 per acre. $1,710.00 cash and balance on 9 years time at 5 percent.
