onslaught of the squeeling mob of
porkers, made a break for the fence
and did not stop until safe over on
the other side, When the evening

Never Rallies From the Stroke Suffered Tuesday Night and'Sinki
Into Eternal Sleep Despite Heroic Work of Physicians
Born in Rock Island, Illinois, Aug
ust 23, I860, died In Plattsmouth,
Nebraska, September 15, 1910, aged
50 years and 21 days.
This morning about 7:15, Mr. W.
L. Pickett passed away at his home
in this city. At his bedside was his
sister, Mrs. Edwin R. Gutherle of
Lincoln and a few kind friends who
have watched by the bedside of the
stricken man during the thirty-six
hours since the stroke of apoplexy
first attacked him.
Mrs. Pickett, although speeding
homeward as fast as the swiftest train
could bring her, arrived too late to
see her husband alive.
Mrs. Pickett did not arrive until
shortly after eleven o'clock this morn
ing. A car was sent to Pacific Junc
tion to meet her and bring her to
Plattsmouth, Mrs. A. E. Gass going
with the coach to meet Mrs. Pickett
at Pacific Junction.
Mr. Thomas J. Pickett, a brother of
the deceased, and his w ife of Wahoo,
arrived this morning on No. 4, and
were with Mr. Pickett's remains when
Mrs. Pickett arrived.
William L. Pickett was born in
Rock Island, Illinois, fifty years ago
last month, and got his early educa
tion In the schools of that state, com
ing to Nebraska when a young man
of sixteen with his father, who first
settled In Nebraska City where he
engaged in the newspaper business,
the subject of this sketch assisting
his father, filling the place as a com
positor. A year later Mr. Pickett ac
companied his father to Lincoln
where his father bought out the
Globe and pnblished that paper for
several years, during which time Mr.
Pickett assisted his father In getting
out the paper. Afterwards for a
long time he was employed on the
S'ate Journal. Later he was offered
and accepted a position as chief clerk
in tea Burlington freight department
at Liaco:n under Mr. Scott. From
Lincoln Mr. Pickett was promoted
from the freight department and
given a station at Lyons, Col., which
position he held until about sixteen
years ago, he was assigned to the
Plattsmouth station and since which
time he has resided in this city.
Since coming to this city he has iden
tified himself with the city's inter
ests In many ways, always advocat
ing that which would serve most to
promote the welfare of the public.
He was a consistent member of th
Episcopal church, having been con
firmed in that faith over twenty years
ago. For many years he wa3 the
superintendent of St. Luke's Sunday
school in this city, and his fondness
for children made him a successful
worker in that field, he having given
up this branch of work only because
of poor health some months ago. He

was a member of the Modern Wood
man, also the A. O. U. W. He was
a valued member of the Masonic fra
ternity, having filled the position in
that order of Worshipful Master for
three years. Mr. Pickett wa3 loved
and respected by everyone who knew
him, and as a citizen in this commun
ity he will be greatly missed.
Mr. Pickett was married in De
cember of 1878, to Miss Susanna Rus
tin, at Evansville, Indiana, and his
wife and three brothers and three
sisters remain to mourn his demise.
His brothers are: Mr. Thomas J.
Pickett of Wahoo, editor of the
Wahoo Wasp; Mr. Horace G. Pickett
of Akron, Col., editor of the Akron
Pioneer Free Press; Charles Y. Pick
ett of Missouri. His sisters are: Mrs.
Edwin R. Gutherle of Lincoln; Mrs.
Thomas Boswell and Mrs. Richard
Terrell, both of Paducah, Kentucky.
Short funeral services will be held
at the home at 1 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon after which the body will
be taken to Evansville, Ind., leaving
here to 3 o'clock, where Interment
will be made. The. Masonic Frater
nity, Knights of Pythias and Modern
Woodman lodges will attend the serv
ices at the house in a body.
Those desiring to view the remains
may do so by calling at the residence
between the hours of 10 and 12
o'clock tomorrow morning.
MC MAKEN & SON WILL
BE ONM JOB ALSO
McMaken & Son, cement and con
crete builders, have secured the con
tract from M. Ford for putting in the
curblngs for the paving to be done
in the third paving district of this
city. This popular firm will also fur
nish the sand and do the hauling
necessary for all .of the paving, in
fact, furnish everything but the brick.
Thus McMaken & Son will avoid the
responsibility of the contract and yet
enjoy the most of the benefit from
it. The Plattsmouth citizens will be
pleased to know that a home concern
will do mpst of the work after all.
H. C. McMaken Informed the writer
this morning that he would be ready
to begin on the curblngs next Monday
morning and that his part of the
work would be pushed right along.
