ed. The new structure will be 28x30,
with two stories, and will be a first
class home In every particular. We

will move Into the new home just as
soon as completed, and his father and
mother, Uncle Fred Engelkemeier
and wife, who have lived in Platts
mouth for the past year, will return
to the old home place, which has been
the home of this excellent family for
the past thirty years or more. Mr.
and Mrs. Engelkemeier have a fine
residence property in the county

old farm, and these excellent old peo
ple will never find one that does. We

soon as Julius and family vacate.
