THANKSGIV!
i18 AS
IT WAS Q
1 PLATTSMOOT
Union Services at Presbyterian Church
and Most of the Stores Closed
in the Afternoon.
From Frid.iy's Daily.
The observance of the Thanksgiving
season of 191 ( in this city was very
quiet and in keeping with the old es
tablished custom of the family feath
erings as well as the worship hour
when the residents of the city gath
ered to return their thanks for the
successes that has falcon to their lot
in the past year. The day was one of
great beauty and as balmy and mild
as could possibly be asked for, and
made the enjoyment of the day a
jr. eat deal more than usual, as it was
possible to get out and enjoy the day
to the fullest extent.
The union services were held at the
Presbyterian church, where the mem
bers of the Presbyterian, Methodist
and Christian churches united in the
Thanksgiving service, and a very large
number were in attendance to take
part and enjoy the excellent sermon
prepaied on the spirit of the great
American holiday and which was de
livered by Rev. f. A. Truscott, pastor
of the Methodist church, and was a
very able and impressive discourse,
carrying to the hearts of the mem
bers of the congregation the lessons
of the day and the feeling that the
eo;de of America should have on this
day, when they were the only great
nation at peace. The offering at this
service will be for the benefit of the
Syrian sufferers in the old word and
quite a neat sum was secured, that
will be dispatched to the national re
lief committee.
Special rtlicrious services were also
held at St. Luke' Episcopal church
and the St. Paul's Evangelical church,
that were both well attended. At the
St. Luke's church there was a cele
bration of the holy eucharest at 7:30
a. m., and also at ::J0, when the rec
tor, Father W. S. Leete, gave a short
sermon. At St. Paul's church the
regular Thanksgiving service was held
with the sermon by the paster, P.ev.
.T. H. Steger, and which was very
much enjoyed by the large congrega
tion. THANKSGIVING FEAST
AT LEWIST9N CHURCH
Frmn Friday's Daily.
The ladies of the K. N. K. society,
who reside in the Ltwiston neighbor
hood east cf Murray have in the pist
few years made a feature of serving
dinne r each Thanksgiving at the Lew
iston church and their .splendid din
ners certainly are appreciated as was
shown yesterday when some 400 per
rons gathered at the church to spend
the day in celebrating the feast of
Thanksgiving. In the morning the
religious service was held, conducted
by Rev. W. A. Taylor of Union and
the churc-h was filled with a large con
gregation c,f worshippers, who return
ee d their thanks for the favors he
stowed upon them during the past
year. At the noon hour the ladies
served their feast and it was one
that would tempt the most jaded ap
petite with a store of good things to
cat that embraced everything from
turkey to the delicious desserts and
prepared in the manner that these
ladies alone know how to arrange.
For several hours the hundreds feast
ed on the store of dainties and it is
needless to say that the dinner will
long .be very pleasantly remembered
by everyone of the party as an event
of more than usual enjoyment. Those
in attendance were from nil over the
eastern portion of the county and
several motored down from this city
to take part.

AUTOMOBILE TURNS
OVER AND HURTS MAN
From Friday's Dailv.
On last Friday evening about 7:00
o'clock an automobile accident oc
cur red near the Henry IIa-es farm
when an automobile in which Mr
Gillespie, the liveryman of Murdock
was driving and Ed. James and Aug
ust Wendt were passengers. Thev
had been in the vicinity of Avoca
driving with Tom Cromwell, who was
buying horses. In some manner they
had lost the presto tank on the car
and had not noticetl that it was gone
until they had gotten pretty well on
their way to Elmwood; so were forced
to drive without lights.
It is claimed that near the Henry
Hayes place they met a team and in
turning out the car turned over. This
was probably due to the fact that the
turn was made so quickly. ' The occu
pants were thrown from the auto
mobile with considerable force. Mr.
James and Mr. Gillespie were badly
skinned up and bruised, but Mr.
Wendt did not escape so fortunately.
He had his collar bone broken, besides
many scratches and bruises. A phy
si'i.m was called, they were brought
to town and their injuries attended to.
In conversation with Mr. Gillispie
he stated that in all of his eight years
of automobile driving he had never
had an accident bo for?. He says that
he is unable to account how it hap
pened for it all happened so quickly.
The chief cause, however, was that
4
they had no lights and were forced to
run without them hoping to get to
Elmwood where theyT could sret a pies
to tank. The body of the car was
badly damaged and Mr. Gillispie has
ordered a new one. The car is now
being run. Mr. Wendt at last re
ports was getting along nicely. Elm

COUNTY COURT WEDNESDAY
From Friday's Da ilv.
The case of Mrs. Mary Burnett vs.
Ira Bates which was tried Wednes
day in the county court hf-fm .TurK.
iBeeson, was brought to a close Wed
nesday evening when the jury com-
V ,7 01 l" Wurl, II. F. Goos and
' Thrasher returned a verdict in
favor of the defendant. The plaintiff
was suing for the sum of $1?0())) dam
ages for injuries received in an auto
mobile accident The case has been
attracting considerable attention and
its trial consumed the entire day with
quite a number of witnesses appearing
in the case for both sides. The ac
cident from which the suit was started
occurred on May 1, 1915. Both Dir

past few years south of this city in
he Rock Bluff neighborhood.
JUDGE ARCHER TELLS
OF A BIG BLIZZARD
SIXTY YEARS AGO
"Do you know what occurred in this
part of the country on December 1st,
sixty years ago?" Judge M. Archer
inquired of the reporter this morning
when at the city hall, and of course
it was necessary to confess our ig
norance of the event that the judge
was alluding to. "Well, it was the
date of one of the worst blizzards that
I have ever experienced," the court
remarked. "At that time, in com
pany with several other men, I was
engaged in cutting timber in the
woods on the Iowa side of the Missouri
river in the locality just south of the
then thriving town of Rock Bluffs and
up to that date the weather had been
fine with a balmy breeze blowing, when
suddenly the cold wave came on them
with a driving snow that made it im-
ossible to see any distance and com
pelled the men "to retire to shelter.
For three days the snow continued
with unabated fury and in the woods
the snowfall averaged three feet while
out in the open the drifts were of
enormous depth and caused a large
number of cattle to freeze from the
exposure and all communication was
cut off between the farmers who had
their claims scattered miles apart on
the prairies of Iowa and Nebraska."
The judge states that after the
storm passed the woodmen came out
of their shelter and indulged in a deer
hunt as the woods were full of them
and over the deep and thickly packed
snow the hunters and the hunted
raced, both breaking through the crust
of the snow at every step. The use of
dogs allowed the hunters to secure a
arge number of deer as the dogs
could travel over the snow without
breaking through and were able to
down the deer. It was several weeks
before the woodmen were able to re
turn to their home on the Nebraska
side of the river.
This story certainly makes the pres
ent climate of Nebraska take on a
much more pleasing aspect as there
has not been any such storm in this
ocality for many years.

Ella Adeline RummerfieM was born
in Sonora, Atchison county, Missouri.
April 28, '1873. She died in Platts
mouth, Neb., November lDKI at the
age of 43 years 7 months and 1 day.
She united with the Methodist Episco
pal church when she was but 1" years
of age and remained a sincere and
devoted Christian during her life. She
was united in marriage to N. K. Peo
ples at Watson, Mo., on August 10,
18i2. To this happy union were born
four son and four daughters. Five
cf the children God has called home
to be with Him. There remain to
mourn the loss of the mother but
three, Anna Adaline, Norris King,
and Ruth Elizabeth. These with the
father will surely greatly miss the
mother that was always good, and so
patient. As mourners, there are but
two other near relatives besides the
husband and children, they are a
brother and a sister of the deceased.
The brother is Joseph R. Rummei field
of this city. The sister is Mrs. M. A.
Havens, who lives in Seneca; Kan.
After Mrs. Peoples took to her bed.
one day she called her hu.ban 1 and
told him she thought she was going to
die. She said she was not afraid to
die but dreaded the ordeal. She made
all the necessary arrangements for her
own funeral, even directing her hus
band as to how the children should be
dressed. She said she would like to
have been spared to raise the children.
but she committed them to the tare of
God and her husband. She advised
ner husband that he could only raise
the children properly by trusting in
God. She regretted much that her fail
ing health prevented her from attend
ing church and helping as she would
like to do and used to do. Her sweet
voice had often been usetl at funerals
to soften the blow to the bereaved and
point them to God for comfort.
She Rests.
She resteth now. No more her breat
Heaves with its weary breath;
Pain sits no longer on the brow
Where lies the calm of death.
Sunk to her rest like a tired child,
She lies in slumber deep,
Soft folded in the arms of Him,
Who "giveth His beloved sleep."
Nay, doth she rest? No: day nor night
She resteth not from praise;
Her spirit, wing'd with rapture, knows
No more earth's weary ways;
But ever toward the Infinite
Her flight on, upward, does she keep.
For He gives active tirelessness
Who giveth His beloved sleep.
