of the life and death of one of the

"On Tuesday morning, November
at six o'clock, the Angel of Death

taking therefrom the beloved wife,
Edith Elizabeth.
Although confined to her bed for
only a brief period with a light at
tack of influenza, Mrs. Noble had
been in failing health for a year or
more, and this together with a weak
ened condition of the heart from
childhood, made it impossible for
her feeble strength to withstand the
final shock. Conscious from the be
ginning that her chances for recovery
were slight, she conversed with her'
husband, her mother and her aunt.
who were constantly beside her, and
bade "good-bye" to Life as one who
lies down to pleasant dreams.
Edith Eliabezth Coolidge was born
in hMattsmoutn. en., uctoDer i,
18S9, and was the eldest daughter of
Harrv and Elizabeth Kennedy Cool
idge. When sue was six years of
age ner parents removed to ieau,

hardware business with his broth

that city. She was graduated from
the Lead High School in 190S. and
was a member of the Student's Glee
club. Soon after leaving school she
came to this city and was employed
in the office of J. W. Vanllorn. then
register of deeds, and until her mar
riage was almost constantly engag
ed in clerical work at the court
house.
On September 2. 19413. she was
united in marriage with William
Leslie Noble of this city. Roth had
been much esteemed members of the
younger social crowd, and their
marriage made another home where
friends were welcome.
About six years ago Mrs. Noble's
father passed from this world, but
of her immediate family her mother,
sister, Ethel, and three brothers sur
vive her; the oldest brother, Bern
ard living in Oregon, Richard with

forty years has been a citizen of
this city, was born in Rrushcreek,
Iowa, now Arlington. Iowa. October
rd. !Ss73. and has lived in Platts
mouth since he was five vears of
age. Having grown to manhood
and made this his home since, he
has become identified with the in
terests of this city in a way that
makes it seem as though he was an
integral part of this city and in life.
He departs this "week from New
York for France, where he will en
gage in the Y. M. C. A. work, with
the boys there. It would seem that
now the war is over that perhaps he
would not be needed, but as there
will be required some two years in
which to disband the army, it will
be that long that there will be re
quired for the returning of the sold-"
iers, and therefore the services of
secretary. Mr. Wescott as all know
C. U. Wescott.
has been one of the best of citizens,
always willing to do his part in ev
ery laudable enterprise. Before his
going he was the secretary of the
Nebraska Retail Clothing association
and made one of the best of officers,
bringing to a successful issue their
banquet in Omaha last season. He
was also the secretary of the Ne
braska Sunday School association,
and resigned the position of secretary
of the Defense Council of Cass Coun
ty. We know that Cliff will make
a success of the mission in which
he has enlisted. His course will be
a credit to himself and family, and
an honor for the city which sends
him forth.
