The Late James Root.
James Root passed away very sud
denly at his home, 2910 Vine street,
Lincoln, April 10. The funeral was
held at the East Side Christian
church Tuesday, April 18. at 2 p. m.
The funeral services were conducted
by the pastor, J. W. Hilton. A male
quartette rendered three beautiful se
lections and a duet was sung by J.
W. Hilton and wife. The floral offer
ings were beautiful. He was laid to
rest in Wyuka cemetery, Lincoln.
He was born February 24, 1844,
at Kinsman, Ohio, where he lived
with his parents until about 18G2
when he moved to Newaygo, Mich.,
where he was married September 27,
18G3, to Harriet A. Dickinson. To
this union four children were born:
Martha M., deceased.. Charles Frank
lin, Mary C. and Minnie Irene. He
united with the Christian church very
early in life and remained a faithful
member until his death. He lived in
Michigan until 18G0 when he moved
to Cass county, Nebraska, where he
engaged in farming. In 1891 he
moved from his farm one mile south
of Murray, and started a lumber yard
in partnership with T. W. Faught,
and later was in the lumber and har
ness business with J. W. Edmunds. In
1901 he, with a partner, A. L. Baker,
purchased the hardware and imple
ment business of E. A. Burton, which
he carried on successfully for a num
ber of years when he retired from
an active business life. He was a
charter member of the Rock Creek
Christian church, serving as a dea
con, until the Christian church was
organized at Murray where he served
in the same caapcity until moving to
Lincoln in the y?ar 1907, when his
membershin was transferred to the
East Side Christian church, where
again he was elected a deacon and
trustee, serving very faithfully until
his death . He was devoted to his
family and his churcn, never missing
a service when it was possible for
him to be there. He leaves to mourn
his loss a faithful wife, one son and
two daughters, harles Franklin
Root, Minnie I.. Woods, both of Lin
coln, and Mary C. McDaniel of Ne
braska City, an aged brother, Nelson
Root, of Kinsman, Ohio, one half
brother and three half-sisters, all of
western Nebraska; also sixteen grand
children and eight great-grandchildren,
and numerous friends measured
by his acquaintances.
He has gone away and left us,
There is just one vacant chair;
He has crossed the great white river,
We can see him resting there,
With the oars of life beside him,
Free at last from all earth's care.
For his life was calm and peaceful
Arfd the tide was ebbing low,
And although we miss him greatly
We can feel that he was glad to go
To be with our dear Redeemer,
For we know he loved Him so.
Now his boat is safely anchored
Over on the other shore.
He is waiting thera to greet us
When our journey here is o'er,
Once again to be united
Where they never part no more.
There is to be a home talent play
given in Murray in the near future
for the benefit of the library, the ex
act date of which has not yet been
decided upon.
W. F. Moore and daughter, Mrs
Arthur Hansen, drove to Plattsmouth

the hands on the farm was driving

away. The young man, whose name
we did not learn, became badly mixed

the train Wednesday for Omaha

Here's Why G. & B. PEARL Wire
Cloth Stops Screen Expense
Painting repairing replacing screen
those are the expenses which make inefficient
wire cloth a source of annoyance and money loss. When
you screen with genuine G. & B. PEARL you do away with
painting:, repairing:, replacements simply because PEARL is
rust-proof as metal can be made, consequently makes a screen
that's practically wear-proof.
G. 5c B. PEARL represents true screen econ
omy. It outwears all imitations so far that no other
similar appearing; wire can be placed in the same class. From
points of appearance sanitation durability and economy G.& B.
PEARL is the one choice of the man who wants permanent protection.
For Permanently
Screening Doors,
Window and Porches
eutT
Wiri
U
The longer G. & B. PEARL is up the nearer
the color of the atmosphere it becomes. It is easy on
the eyes easy on the pocketbook and the one screen whose
smooth meshes prevent the lodging: of dust and dirt and grime.
We 'sell genuine PEARL Wire Cloth with
two Copper Wires in the Selvage and the Round
Tag bearing the Gilbert & Bennett name on each roll.
