DEATH OF HELEN
GILMORE SATURDAY
Daughter of Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Gil
more of Murray Succumbs to Se
vere Attack of Pneumonia.
From Monday's Dally.
After a long and courageous strug
gle against the ravages of pneumonia
the spirit of little Helen Gilmore
was called home to the Maker Sat
urday evening at the Clarkson hos
pital in Omaha. The death , has
come as a heavy blow to the parents.
Dr. and Mrs. O. II. Gilmore of Mur
ray, and the grandmother, Mrs. J.
A. Walker, as the little one was the
sunshine of the home and loved by
those .who had the happiness of
knowing her and the death will
leave a void hard to replace in the
hearts of her little friends and asso
ciates and only the healing touch of
time can soften the grief that the
visitation of the angel of death has
brought to the family and friends.
Helen was born at Murray on Jan
uary 14, 190S, and was the only
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. G. II. Gil
more, and has spent her childhood
days in the old home where she has
been attending the' schools of Mur
ray until stricken down five weeks
ago by a visitation of the flu and
which later developed into pneumon
ia, and for a time it was thought
that the little one was on the high
way to recovery but the second at
tack of pneumonia which occurred
at the hospital in Omaha a few day?
ago was too severe for the frail and
weakened little one and just as the
l3.Pt rays of the sinking sun gilded
the heavens on Saturday the spirit
yielded to the call and passed beyond
the sphere of mortal eyes to rest for
ever in the bosom of the tender
Shepherd of the little ones.
It is sad indeed for those who knew
and loved this tender blossom of life
to part from her so early on the
journey yet in their grief they can
find consolation in the thought that
perhaps it Is best that these tender
feet will never Knew the rough and
rugged way of life but find in thfc
beautiful dawning of the perfect da
the rest and joy and happiness that
comes from the radiated light of the
Throne on High and the promise of
the Master. "Suffer little children to
come unto Me, and forbid them not.
for of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven."
The funeral of the little one will
be held from the home in Murray
Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 and the
body will be brought to Plattsmouth
and laid to rest In the Oak Hill cem
etery. Rev. J. B. Jackson of Omaha
will have charge of the services. To
mourn the loss of the little one there
remains the parents, and two broth
ers. Walker, who is now attending
the state university, and John, a
younger brother, ateo the grand
mother, Mrs. J. A. Walker.

The forthcoming wrestling match
in this city, which is to occur on
Friday evening at Coates hall be

real feature as both men are well
matched and Lee is one of the best
men in his class in the state, al
though during the past year he has
not been active in the game.
If the event proves successful, a
number of matches will be arrang
ed by Mr. Fickler and Henie Schoe

bring to this city numerous of the
best wrestlers in the state. .

A TRIBUTE TO
A NOBLE WOMAN
Paid by Atty. Matthew Gcring to
His Mother in Printed Vol
ume of Addresses.
From Tuesday's Laity.
In a book containing some occa
sional addresses and . speeches to
juries, which he has made, Attorney
Matthew Gering has dedicated it to
his mother in the following lan
guage, and which is published for
those who knew this good woman in
her lifetime and for the beauty of
its tribute to the memory of a moth-,
er : j
DEDICATION j
. To the Memory of My
Sainted Mother j
The imagination need not be con
sulted to assume that the good
Christian men and women who eag
erly respond to the melody of the
church bells as they softly call them
at vesper time to worship, that the
holiest month in all the year is the
one in which the lowly Nazarene
was brought into being. But to me,
in the entire cycle of the calender,
there is no holier or more attractive
month than February, for nearly at
its threshold there was ushered in
to being near the banks of the Iller,
a crystal stream of Bavaria, whose
waves flowed silently through the
Alpine hills on to the sea, and at its
meridian there was called into the
great unknown, by the sobs of fa
tigue caused by declining years and
advancing age, my mother, the most
splendid and enchanting incarnation
of pure and unselfish motherhood
that ever sweetened the palace cf
a prince, the hovel or a hut, or
cradled a progeny of love.
Just as the lingering and tired
sun at eventide was seeking rest
from its daily toil and sinking soft
ly into the horizon of the west, itr
dying rays kissing, and the winl
softly whispering through the leaf
less twigs of an oak tree, which she
had planted with her tender hands
in the years gone "by and watched
with eager solicitude its growth from
year to year until it sheltered her
from the gentle drops of rain and
the dancing sun beams of the sum
mer days, the light of my dear moth
er's life was hushed and extinguish
ed by the call of nature, and with
a smile of contentment she sank in
to the mysterious realm of the un
known surrounded by all her loving
progeny. She is at rest.
She fell into the dreamless sleep
of death at the end of a journey
along which the fulsome roses of
contentment bloomed and blossomed
without a thorn, and whose high
way of life was intoxicated with the
fragrance cf her inate and , simple
purity and the halo of her enchant
ed character, as clean as the tooth
of a Russian hound, and as pure as
the flakes of the unsunned snow.
During her entire life, she re
sponded to the whisperings of a
clear conscience, and her love of
home, friends, relatives and hearth
was unalloyed. Her lips were never
polluted with an impure expression,
nor her mind disturbed with a soil
ed thought. Her kindness to the
lowly and the cleanness of her life
will always linger in the minds of
those who knew her well, and the
legacy she left to those who follow
her is the most sublime of all epa
taphs. To keep her memory unforgotten
by those who knew her and who rea
lized that she reflected in her pure
life a lesson of conduct to be fol
lowed, and which made the world
better for her advent in it. the fol
lowing pages are most lovingly ded
icates
