PIONEER RESI
DENT OF STATE
JOEL V. D. PATCH PASSES AWAY
AT 12 :30 LAST NIGHT AFTER
A SHORT ILLNESS.
Prom Monday's rlly.
Last night at 12:30 the spirit of
Joel V. D. Patch, pioneer Nebraskan,
took its flight to the Creator after
an illness that ha3 covered the last
few weeks and during which time
the deceased has been failing very
rapidly and it was with the spirit
of Joy and happiness that he await
ed the coming of the messenger of
death that was to bring him rest and
peace from the solitude and loneli
ness that has been so marked with
him since the death of his wife two
years ago.
Mr. Patch and his wife came to
Ihe Nebraska Masonic Home April
1C. 1918. and have since resided
there and where Mrs. Turlie Patch
died on January 3, 1921. During
his residence here. Mr. Patch has
shown a keen interest in the affairs
of the community and also carried on
to some extent his art work that had
won him much fame in his earlier
days and one of his most valued
pieces of work are the hand painted
light signs of the Masonic hall in
this city.
Joel V. D. Patch was born at Mt.
Holly. Vermont, January 30. 1842.
and resided there for his boyhood
days and while yet in his boy life
he displayed the artistic ability that
later was so pronounced and won
him more or less fame in his later
home in the west.
In the early fifties Mr. Patch was
commissioned by Harper's Weekly,
the great American illustrated pap
er of that day,- to go west and write
and illustrate stories of life in the
great west and it was with this mis
sion' in mind that Mr. Patch arrived
at Nebraska City in '18&4, and so
well pleased was he with, the we6t
that he has never retnrned east, but
after a short time started a watch
and clock making establishment and
at Nebraska City was married and
made his home until in the late
eighties.
He was identified with theiand was released yesterday afternoon

Becoming interested in art work
he later moved to St. Joseph, Mis
souri, where he wa3 one of the
most active and distinguished citi
zens and was in charge of an art
school for a number of years and
later was commissioned by Governor
Joseph W. Folk to paint the por

for the state capitol and had other
large commissions of art work, ln-
cludine the Scottish rite cathedral!
decorations and the city of St. Jo
seph also had him paint of number

OLD SETTLERS
REUNION WAS
BIG SUCCESS
LARGE CROWDS PRESENT AND A
MOST ENJOYABLE TIME IS

From Tuesday's Dain.
Last Friday and Saturday the old
settlers of this portion of the state,
and especiallv that part of Cass and
Otoe counties contiguous to Union,
met together once more at the picnic
crounds at Union for a renewal of
old acquaintanceships.
This is the thirty-fifth consecutive
vear of the so-called Old Settlers Re
union, from which the younger set
tlers are not barred, and it seems
each year the gathering becomes
more successful.
The weather this year was all that
could be desired and people came
from far and near, many of those who
formerly resided in this vicinity tak
ing advantage of the occasion as an
opportunity to come back and see the
old friends of former days.
During the two days' celebration,
a most varied and pleasing program
was offered, including some promi
nent speakers and entertainers and j

it good music, but there was plenty
cf it. In the evening there was a
dance as well as numerous other ac-;ttlfV " . . . i"u"iy a,r
tivities to interest and amuse the hich is to be held at AN eeping Wat
crowd and it is freely conceded that er and which is growing better
this year's was the best first day pro-
gram ever given at the reunion.
The first day, which has in thej
past been more lightly attended was
well near the equal of the second day
from that standpoint this year, and
11 on account of the fine program
offered.
For the second day Attorney J. D.
Graves, of Peru, a former candidate
for governor on the prohibition tick
et, made a most wonderful address
which was heard by an immense
throng. The Rev. L. D. Smith, of
Nebraska, who was well known by a
large number of people present, made
an address which was highly appre
ciated by all who were privileged to
hear him. Miss Hazel Clugey, of
riattsmouth, who was on the pro
gram, was not able to be present, be
ing in the west and at Denver on
that day. Her place was filled by
Master Lucean LaRue, the 11-year-old
boy soloist, who sang "Ye3 We
Have No Bananas" in such a manner
as to bring loud applause from the
crowd and in his encore numbers he
proved equally pleasing. Lucean is
the lad who scored the great hit on
the Plattsmouth night radio program
last May and his admirers are legion
wherever he is heard.
Mrs. Wm. Baird of Plattsmouth
enlivened the occasion by a number
of her witty readings which added
much to the interest and amusement
of the occasion.
The closing address of the occasion
was made by Congressman R. H.
Thorpe, who dealt with social life
and the history of Nebraska, touch
ing some of the farmers problems;
ana tne raiiroaa rates.
The Eagles band of Plattsmouth
furnished the music for the second
day and scored a hit with the large
crowd. The boys are real musicians
and gave some most pleasing popu
lar and semi-classical numbers.
Like the day before, a ball game
was played in the late afternoon that
was-witnessed by many, and a big
dance was held at the Woodmen hall
in the evening.
Everyone connected with the re
union worked hard for Its success,
and Rev. W. A. Taylor, president of
the association for this year, desires
to express his thanks to all who so
ably made this occasion one long to
be remembered on account of the ex
cellent success which it attained.

During their Etay the members of
the family had a real time and one
that they will fondly cherish for the
ensuing year and not the least of the
pleasures of the visit was the op
portunity the members of the party
had of trips over the beautiful tree
clad lillls of the city and the sur
rounding vicinity and which was a
never failing source of delight to the
members of the party and they vow
that there is no more attractive spot
in the whole state than Plattsmouth.
CIRCUS PROVES PLEAS
ING TO LARGE CROWDS
from MonA'ay'a Dally.
World Brothers Shows which were
here Saturday for a matinee and
evening performance gave an excel
lent performance and have some ex
ceptionally clever acts in the f-how
that would have done credit to a
much larger organization. Ampng
fife high class features was that of
Langdon and his trained elephants
which was as good as can be seen
anywhere in the country and the
aerial acts by members of the circu3
company were also very thrilling
and entertaining and the ladies who
had this portion of the program in
hand showed their skill and dariDg
in the various stunts given In the air.
The trained lions were also a thrill
ing feature of the entertainment and
kept the audience well keyed up to
the excitement stage.
The circus as a whole was very
satisfactory altho there was more or
less complaint against the manner in
which the tickets were handled and
several of the residents of the near
by territory claim to have paid a
great deal more than the advertised
admission price to get into the main
show.
