HIS HOME SUDDENLY
Retired Last Evening in Usual
Health and Passed Away Dur
ing the Night Sometime
From Thursday's Daily.
The community was shocked this
morning to learn that George Grebe
Sr Gf tne 0jd residents of the city
had passed away at his home on Win
ftersteen hill during the night, death
coming suddenly and unexpectedly to
this fine old gentleman.
Mr. Grebe has been in the employe

retired at the usual time and appar
ently in the best health. Shortly af
ter il o'clock, the sen William Grebe
returned home and at that time the
father was sleeping and did not show
and signs of sickness or suffering.
Later in the ni?ht Mrs. Grebe no
ticed that her husband was not
breathing as strongly as usual and
she called William to the bed room
where the father was sleeping. The
son at once saw that something was
wrong with the condition of the
father and a hurried examination
failed to disclose any signs of life.
A physician was summoned but the
aged gentleman had parsed away ap
parently some (time previous, deatu
having visited him about :::0. as it
was shortly after that time that the
wife had awakened and discovered
that he had ceased breathing.
Mr. Grebe was- some sixty-eight
years of age and was born in Ger
many, coming to America when a
very young man and had resided in
Canada for a short time before com
ing to Plattsmouth. thirty-seven
years ago. To mourn his death he
leaves the wife and the following

AN IMPORTA
PART OF EARLY
STATE HISTORY
DEATH OF ONE CF ORGANIZERS
REPUBLICAN VALLEY CO.
J. V. PATCH LAST ONE
The death of John F. Black, Ne
braska pioneer, at West Palm Beach,
Florida, has refreshened in the public
mind, one cf the landing movements
in tiie state toward settlement of Ne
braska, that of the organization of
the Republican Valley Land Co.. and
of the cflicers of which there is only
one member living, J. V. I). Patch
of the Nebraska Masonic Home of
this city.
The story cf the settlement of the
Re-publican valley is not unlike that
of other portions of the unsettled
west of the late sixties and early sev
eentis and which teels of the hard
ships of the pioneers, who seeing
ahead of their time attempted to pro
vide a suitable colonizing movement.
This company was organized in
October 1S71 at Nebraska City and
the objects of the company as stated
in their prospectus issued at that
time? was to lay out and enter town
sights in the Republican valley of
Nebraska, organize colonies and con
duct them to the valley to settle up
that fertile region.
The capital stock of the company
was fixed at $100,000, a large sum
in those days and a large number of
prominent men of Nebraska City as
well as Plattsomuth were interested
in the proposition. At the first meet
ing the officers were elected: Royal
Buck, president: J. Sterling Morton,
vice-president ; B. M. Davenport, sec
retary; J. V. D. Patch, treasurer. Of
tl:ee officers Mr. Patch is now the
only living member as Mr. Black,
who was a director has just passed
away. Mr. Buck was at that time the
editor of the first republican-paper
in Nebraska City and one of the
leaders in public life of the state,
J. Sterling Mcrton was also one of
the educational and political leaders
of the state and destined later to be
one of the most distinguished men
that the state has ever produced. Mr.
Davenport was an attorney of Ne
braska City and also the son-in-law
of Alexander Campbell, the founder
cf the Christian church in North
America.
The company started an exploring
expedition into the Republican val
ley in November 1S71. that territory
being unsettled and not charted or
surveyed by the bovernment. The sec
lion visited was that which is now
known as- Red Willow county, and
how it received its name is due to
Mr. Patch of this city, who was se
lected to devise a proper name for
the section in which the pioneers
wer to locate. Mr. Patch decided af
ter much study m the translation of
the Indian word. "Kinnikinio." which
me.ms a preparation for smoking used
ly the Indians from the bark of the
red sumac er the red willow, and
thence Red Willow was the name be
stowed on the county and which it
still proudiy bears and cf which Mc
Ccok is the county seat.
The exploring party that first vis
ited that section sent a very glowing
report back to the company of the
possibilities of the country and their
hopes have been verified in the re
sult of the progress of years in the
Republican valley, but the first years
were ones privation to the settlers
of that locality from grasshoppers,
drouth and financial panic.
The explorers reported that they
had progressed as far as seventy
miles west of Lincoln, over the B. &
M. R. R. and at School Creek se
cured teams to continue the journey
on into the valley lands. In three
days the party arrived at Fort Kearn
ey and then struck southwest to the
Republican river. They reported the
country as being prairie, destitute of
water or timber but capable of being
used for .stock feeding. Many miles
were passed where the bleaching
skeletons of the buffalo were found
along the prairie where they bad-
probably lain after (the exudus of the
great herds to the farther west.
Much game was reported especially
wild turkey and chickens and the
committee comprising the party re
ported strongly on the prospects of
the country for fruit raising and m
fact urged that large amounts of
fruit trees be sent out there for use
b y the setllers.
The boom had no more than start
ed in the Republican valley Yrhea
the panic of 1872-73 visited the
country and with the drouth in ,the
west served to hold in check the de
velopment of the Republican valley
country until the late seventies.

PLEASED WITH LA PLATTE
From Friday's Dailv.
Those who attended the picnic a!
La Plane ye.-terday thought for a
time that this city was to suffer the
loss of one of the business men of

impressed .with the possibilities of
the soft drink industry at that point,
and for a time it seemed as though
he mirht acquire an interest in one
of the emporiums, where the soft.
but
innocent beverages are handled,
when the other members of
Plattsmouth caravan got ready
but
the
to
return home lie was prevailed upon
to return home to the bosom of his
family.

It Stood the Test!
An analysis of reserve percentages of the
twelve Federal Reserve banks during 1 920 re
veals some interesting figures.
While depressing business conditions af
fected some more than others the total re
serves of all combined fluctuated only between
the narrowlimits of 45.8 and 41.4 per cent.
Acting as a great, single reservoir of
credit, the Federal Reserve System maintained
throughout 1920 a greater degree of financial
