WILLIAM BARCLAY, PROMINENT EAGLE Brief Sketch of the Life of Fellow Townsmen Signally Honored by F. 0. E. Convention The new president of Nebraska Aerie of the Fraternal Order of Ea gles has for many years been one of the strong supporter of the prinei pies of the order at all times and under all circumstance?-. William M. Barclay was born in Indianr. county. Pennsylvania. July 3, 1ST0. and spent his early boyhood in the east, coming to Nebraska in 1SS0 and first located at Friend where the family mado taeir home for a great many years and where the lad grew into manhood. In tha year' 1904 Mr. L:. relay came to Plattsmouth and has sin-e tiiat lime, been actively identified with the business life of the'eity and has WILLIAM M. BARCLAY Unanimously Named Today as Wor thy President, Nebraska F. O. E. for the past several years been proprietor of one o? the largest best equipped restaurant:", in the and this Mr. the section of the state. Shortly after coming hero Barclay becam interested in Eagle aerie and his devotion to the order led to his rapid advancement in the order ;Mid he was called to occupy all of the chairs in the aerie and was for two terms worthy pres ident of the aerie. during which time he secured great advancement in membership and interest in the order. Mr. Barclay has been a delegate to a number of the national meetings of the Eagles and his experience gained at the sessions there has aided him in the advancement of the teach ings of the order. At the state aerie meeting at Lin coln in 1916 he was selected as the state outer guard, and at the Ne braska City aerie in 1917 was chosen inner guard. In 191S at the state aerie held at Fremont he was named as worthy chaplain and in 1919 ad vanced at the state aerie at South Omaha to the position of state wor thy vice president, to which office he was re-elected at the state aerie held in 1920 at Falls City, after stepping aside in order that A. P. Moran. who was in army service during the war and lost out on promotion to the highest office, might be unanimously named by the 1920 convention to the presidency. It was largely through his splen did efforts that the state convention was secured for Plattsmouth this year. The selection of Mr. Barclay as state worthy president is but the rec ognition of a real and true believer in the teachings of Eagledom and he will be found a gentleman who will give the order his best services at all times.
