DEATH OF MRS. GEO.
SIGLER, FORMER
CASS COUNTY LADY
From Tuesday's Dall r.
The following is a short biograph
ical sketch of the life of Mrs. George
C. Sigler, a former Cass county lady,
who passed away a few days ago at
her home in Broken Bow, Nebraska
-tt m 1 1 1 1 1
.Mrs. Mgier win ue rememoereu by a
great many of the earlier residents of
the county where hed parents were
among the earliest pioneers, and it is
with the greatest regret that they
learn of her death.
Christina Vallery was born in Pike
county, Ohio, September 10, 1852, and
fur years later came to Nebraska
"ith her parents and settled in Platts-
mouth. Here she grew to womanhood
and at the age of twenty years was
united in marriage to George Calvin
Sigler. Later they moved to Custer
county, Nebraska, and of late years
have made their home at Broken Bow.
For twelve years while her husband
was engaged in the mining business
she made her home in the Black
Hills, but the greater part was spent
in Broken Bow.
Mrs. Sigler was the mother of sev
en children, three boys and four girls.
These are all living except one daugh
ter. Inez Edith, who died in 1892.
Those living are Cora Bell Brindle of
Broken Bow, Wilhclmina Barnes of
Ontario. Cal.; Ida May Kane of Terry,
antri iuuiu xvuiiiim.
-ven- onn eaivin vi xiune, .num.,
ard Fred LeRoy who ilves at the par-
er.tal heme in Broken Bow. Two of
the daughters, Mrs. Barnes and Mrs.
Kane, were r.ot able to be present at
the funeral. She also leaves four
brothers, all of whom were in attend
Mice at the funeral, J. R. Vallery, C.
II. Vallery and T. W. Vallery of
Plattsmouth; T. P. Vallery of Fruit
dale. S. D., and Henry Vallery of
Ruby, Alaska. There is also one sis
ter who was not present, Mrs. Mary
Wright of Fruitdale, S. D. There are
rlso twelve grandchildren.
The funeral services of this good
woman was held Monday afternoon
from the late home on South Eighth
rtreet in Broken Bow and were in
charge of Rev. A. Allen Bandall of
the Methodist Episcopal church, who
in his remarks paid the following
beautiful tribute to the memory of
the departed lady:
''Mrs. Sigler was of quiet, retiring
nature. Her life was especially a
home life, being devoted to her fam
ily. So far as known she was never
connected with any church, but she
was a believer in Jesus as the Savior
of the world. During her residence in
Cass county she worked with the
Methodist Episcopal church at Weep
ing Water and was an' attendent on
its services. Sha was always self-sacrificing
and many are those where she
has lived who have received encour
agement and assistance from her in
their hours of need. Mrs. Sigler had
been in poor health for a number of
years and for the last three or four
years has been a constant sufferer.
But through it all she was patient,
bearing her suffering with a fortitude
that was rioted by all who came into
her presence during these years. To
day she rests; her warfare and suf
fering is over. She has entered that
country where there is no more death,
neither sorrow nor crying. To the
husband let me say: The companion
of your years is at peace, just as she
was always at peace with men while
she was here, so now, she has entered
that city where peace constantly
abounds. Let this blessed truth com
fort you. And to you children: Re
member your mother's life. What a
heritage it is, true, faithful, full of
mother love. May it comfort you and
strengthen you as you recall her life
of devotion and love."
rs. Fred Hesse came down from
.Omaha this morning to visit for the
, day, looking after some matters of
-business in regard to her property in
i this city.
ANNUAL MEETING
OF LOAN & BUILD
ING ASSOCIAT!
n
Three Directors Ite-E!ected and the
Financial Showing Is Most
Excellent.
From Tuesday'c Danr.
The annual meeting of the Platts-
mouth Loan & Building association
was held last evening at the Modern
Woodman hall and a large number
of the stockholders were present to
take part in th. disevsi-ior. of the
business of this very successful finan
cial institution. The term of three of
the directors of the company expiring
the stockholders of the company paid
a well deserved tribute to their serv
ice by re-electing them to the offices
which they have filled C. A. John
son, Fred T. Ramge and Henry F.
Goos for a term of three vears.
During the past three vears the
amount of business nandled by the
Plattsmouth Loan & Building associa
tion has more than doubled in volume
and the shareholders have made a
handsome investment on their money
which has been secured by the stock
of this live organization. The Platts
mouth Loan & Building assoication
was organized in March, 1&S5, and is
embarking on its thirty-first year of
business, with the prospects of mak
ing it the best that has yet been re
corded in the amount of business and
the profit of the stockholders. In
March, 1J13, the association had loans
amounting to ?9J,341.9i,-and this year
the report of the secretary shows that
?205,550.78 is held in stock, which is
a wonderful gain in such a short space
of time. The capital stock in 1913
amounted to S7P,!88, while in IMG it
has reached the figures of S1T5.128.
The grand total of the company has
grown from $101,707.94 in 1913 to
212,412.95, which is an indication of
he immense amount of business
which has been handled by this corn
ea n v.
The showing made to the stock
holders by the secrtary, T. M. Patter-
on, was most pleasing and demon
strated that this substantial home
financial institution was a safe in-
estment for the saving of the stock
holders and the handsome dividends
earned gives them a handsome profit
for theirin vestment. Mr. Patterson,
who has been the secretary for the
past few years, has conducted the
business of the company in the most
apable manner and his efforts have
added greatly to the excellent show
ing made.
The sixty-third series of the Platts
mouth Loan & Building association
are now open to subscriptions to af
ford the citizens of Plattsmouth an
opportunity of securing ,a safe and
sound investment for their surplus
funds, which will guarantee them an
exceptionally good return for ' their
money.
