NEER LADY
PASSES AWAY

STILL ON THE RISE
Mrs.'. K. W. Akeson Passes Away
"Wednesday Morning" at Her
Daughter's Home
Yosterdav morninsr shortly after 3
.o'clock Mrs. Rebecca Wiles Akeson,
one cf the few surving pioneer resi
dents of Cass county passed away
at the home her daughter, Mrs. Emma
liieckenridge near Manley. Mrs. Ake-
scn. coming to Nebraska at an early
ibv. experienced the hardships of
pioneer life and during: her long1 and
useful life she has passed through
The Missouri river is still continu
ing on a rise and the river at this
point is bank full and at the low
daces on the road near the sewer
creek the water has overflowed into,
the road for a short distance. Reports
from up the river at Blair state that
the river there is higher than ever
before and this looks as though we
would have a visitation of high water
here as the river near Blair is fully
as wide as at this point. Old river
men state that the river is higher at
this time of the year than it has been
for several years and they look for
considerable more of the high water
before the flood time is over. Vith
so much more high water in the north
it would not be surprising if the bot

which she had made a part of her
daily life. '
Rebecca Wiles was born January
15, 1833, in Henry county, Indiana,
where she spent a part of her child
hood and in 1841 was brought by
her parents to Andrew county, Mis
souri, where the family made their
home for some time and where she
was married in 1853 to William Gen
try. To this union there were four
children born, three living and one
dying in infancy, those surviving her
being Milton Gentry of Manley, Mrs.
Katherine Hostetter of Union, and B.
F. Gentry of Gering, 'Neb. Mr. Gentry
died in 1S54 and shortly after this the
widow and little children moved to
Mills county, Iowa, where they resid
ed for some four years and where in
167 Mrs. Gentry was married tot
3Iattes Akeson. About a year after
their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Akeson
and family moved to Cass county and
located on a farm in the central part
of the county. To them three children
were born, Ella, who died when 12
years of age; Thomas W. Akeson of
Weeping Water, and 31 rs. Brecken
ridge, and it was with the last named
that she passed her last few years.
Mr. Akeson was murdered at his
home near Weeping Water in 1893,
,by Harry Hill and Sam Benwcll and
for this Hill was hung in the jail in
this city, and after the tragic death
oi the husband Mrs. Akeson made her
home with her children.
At an early age Mrs. Akeson united
with the Baptist church after com-
'ng to Nebraska she affiliated with
the Christian church and -remained a
most devout member of that church
until her death and all those whom
she came in contact with were at
ince impressed with her abiding faith
in the Master whose teachings she
had followed so closely. As Mrs. Ake
;son passed away at her home yester
day morning a friend of her lifetime,
Mrs. Henry Lehnhoff who had lived
only a short distance frcm the Ake
son farm for many years, was dy
ing and these two old friends for
more than forty years were only a i
lew hours apart in answering the
call to their well earned rest and
peace.
Isaac Wiles of this city is the sole I
surviving brother of Mrs. Akeson andl
out of a large family of brothers and
sisters he is the sole survivor.

FACTS REGARD

From Tuesday's Dally.
The University of Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., May 17, 1916.
Charles H. Baker, Union, Neb.,
My Dear Mr. Baker:
I received today the samples Log
of the well at Union, Neb. They show
that you are still drilling in the Penn
svlvania series of rock. I would cer
tainly not think of abandoning the
well until I had drilled several hun
dred feet further. You will have no
trouble with casing off shales be
cause of the large amount bf shale
which you will penetrate. All wells
which have been drilled in Nebraska
in thns series of rock have given the
drillers considerable trouble because
of water, and casing shale you will
probably have the same experience.
hope everything at the well is going
fine. Sincerely,
Prof. E. F. Shramm,
Asst. Prof, of Geology.
Lincoln, Neb., April 17, 191t.
My Dear Mr. Baker:
I will describe the Union Anticline
n an article a week from this com-
ng Sunday. I want to secure some
more photographs of it if possHdt be
fore publishing this article in tho Lin
coln Star. The anticline in the vicin-
ty of Nehawka is all O. K., but not
so pronounced as the Union Anticline.

ALL THAT "IT IS
CLAIMED TO BE
WASH BEVERAGE

HOSPITAL
The photo play presentation of
"Damaged Goods" which opened a
two nights engagement at the Air
dome last evening certainly is all that
has been claimed for it by the lead
ing men and women of the country
and from a standpoint of demonstrat
ing the effects of one of the great
est evils of the modern times it is
without a peer. The facts which the
pictures bring out are the same as
111 1 ? I 1 .
an reuaDie pnysicians and teacners
have been trying to place forcibly in
the minds of the men and women of
the country but in motion pictures it
brings a lesson that will always be
remembered by those that see them.
The pictures are not produced for
amusement but for instruction and
for the betterment of the human race
and those who have assisted in pro
ducing these films have contributed
great deal toward relieving con
ditions of morals and the betterment
of the physical wellfare of mankind
The country over "Damaged Goods"
has been endorsed by the most
eminent members of the medical pro
fession, as one of the best means of
placing the plain truth before th:
public in the best possible manner to
leave a lasting impression. The play
is given in seven reels, every one of
which is filled with meaning and les
sons that show clearly the effects of
the sins of the human race. The pic
tures will be shown for the last time
this evening at the Airdome.

The funeral of Mrs. Fred latcwart
was held yesterday afternoon f.01.1
the First Methodist church and a
large number of the friends and
neighbors who had known and loved
this estimable lady were present at
he services and to pay their last
tokens of respect to her whom they
would know no more in life. The
services were in charge of Rev. F.
M. Druliner, pastor of the church, and
were very impressive as the minister
spoke of the gentle, lovable life of the
departed, of her unfaltering faith in
the teachings of the Christian faith
and her devotion to home and fam
ily which had been so marked. Dur
ing the services a number of. selec
tions were given by the choir com
posed of Mrs. E. IT. Wescott, Mrs.
Ralph Smith, Miss Muriel Barthold,
Mrs. Robert Hayes and Miss Florence
Balser, composed of several of the old
loved hymns of faith and hope. The
floral rememberances were numer
ous and beautiful and silently attest
ed the feeling of grief felt by the en
tire community over the loss of the
kindly friend and neighbor who to
them would be only a beautiful mem
ory in the future. At the close of the
services all that was mortal of this
estimable lady was tenderly borne
to Oak Hill cemetery where it wa ;
laid to rest beside that of the mother.
The pallbearers selected from the
friends and neighbors were: Clarence
Forbes, John E. Schutz, Harry Rice,
E. C. Harris", Henry Soennichsen and
JVIonte Franks.
In this, one of the saddest hours in
their lives- the relatives will have the
deepest sympathy of the entire com
munity and the abiding Christian life
of the departed to guide them in the
years to come.
W. H. Venner drove in this morn
ing from, his home near Mynard and
spent a few hours looking after some
business matters with the merchants.
