Saturday Evcisjv
S&w Starts at 7:45 Sharp
Mrs. John Morford Fell When Start
ing to School This Morning,
Fracturing Both Limbs.
From Tuesday's Daily.
This morning Mrs. John Morford,
who is teaching school in the Amick
district west of Mynard, was the
victim of a serious accident that oc
curred as she was starting from the
home of Mrs. Dave Amick where she
was boarding for her schood some
distance away. As Mrs. Morford
stepped from the door she slipped on
the stone step which was covered with
snow and fell with considerable force
onto the hard surface of the step and
in so doing broke both bones of the
left leg.
Medical aid was at once summoned
and Dr. G. II. Gilmore, of Murray,
who was called to the scene reduced
the fracture and made the patient as
comfortable as possible under the cir
cumstances. It seems that the step
upon which she fell was made from
the top of a billiard table and was
worn very smooth and slick and with
the coating of snow made a danger
ous object to step upon. The injured
lady remained at the Amick home
until this afternoon when her hus
band, accompanied by Dr. O. E. Lis
ton of Elmwood, motored over and
took her back home to Elmwood,
where she will remain until the in
jured limbs are so that she can be
up and around again. The accident
will be greatly regretted by - the
friends of this estimable lady in the
locality where she has been teaching
as she has been having great success
in the school and the accident will
force her to abandon the work for
some time at least.
WILL STOKES IS HERE
FROM ALBERTA, CANADA
From Tuesday's rai!y.
Will Stokes, for a number of years
a resident of the vicinity of Murray,
and a brother of Thomas and A. R.
Stokes of this city, arrived last night
from his home in Alberta, Canada, to
spend a short time, in this county
with his relatives and friends. Mr.
Stokes has been very successful since
his removal to Canada and has a fine
farm near Calgery, in Alberta, which
is one of the best in. that section of
the great northwest. He finds that
farming in that country while differ
ent from that of Nebraska and the
United States is one that is very suc
cesful and the yield of the crops has
been quite heavy. He has been re
siding in Canada for the past five
years. Mr. Stokes will visit in this
city and at Murray over the holidays.
FUNERAL OF MRS.
ARMILDA MINFORD
Funeral services for Mrs. Armilda
Minford will be held at the family
residence, 1G21 Sj-camore street, at 3
p. m. today. Interment will take place
Monday at Eight Mile Grove ceme
tery, near Plattsmouth. Mrs. Min
ford survived her husband, Robert
J. Minford, four years. Both lived
to the age of eighty years. Seven
years ago they celebrated their golden
wedding. Robert J. Minford and Ar
milda Searl were married in 1839 at
Webster, O., and went at once to
Portsmouth, where they made their
home. During the civil war Mr. Min
ford went to the front and served two
years in the Twenty-second Ohio vol
unteers; at home Mrs. Minford was
bearing uncomplainingly the burden
of managing a home and caring for
two small children. In 1870 Mr. and
Mrs. Minford moved to Nebraska and
located on a farm in Cass county.
There they endured tTie many vicissi
tudes of pioneer life and kept open a
friendly door for the stranger and the
few neighbors who were also battling
for an existence. Cheerful and op
timistic, they fought thru the many
difficulties and succeeded in acquiring
sufficient land to take care of them
in their declining years. In 1895 they
moved to Lincoln, where they spent
their last days. Six children sur
vive them: W. N. Minford, of Elm
wood, Mrs. Mary M. Davis and W.
H. Minford of Lincoln, G. M. Minford
of Murray, Mrs. Iva Irland of Berlin
and I. L. Minford of Los Angeles.
