From Friday's Daily
I While on the west coast for the
past few weeks, Mr. E. H. Wescott
had the opportunity of meeting a
number of former Piattsmouth resi-
dents there altho the sad nature of
his visit curtailed his getting out to
i a large extent to visit with the
Piattsmouth colony there. Mr. Wes
cott met Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boeck,
j who are among the older residents
I there from this locality and who are
jalso in advanced years of life, Mr.
Boeck celebrating his ninety-second
birthday in February. They are both
in the best of health and get around
every day enjoying life to its ut
most. Another of the former Piatts

J. M. Patterson, Mr. Patterson being
engaged with the second largest
bank in Los Angeles. Mrs. Patterson
who was formerly Miss Phemie Rob

Mr. Patterson as being in very poor
health and has been at the hospital
for some time past. Mr. Wescott al
so had the pleasure of meeting Mr.

GIVES INTERESTED TALK
From Friday's Daily . .
The public library auditorium was
well filled with a most appreciative
audience of young men to hear Mr.
J. E. Dragoo, who has spent nine
months making maps .and guarding
the Panama Canal in the Panama re
gion during the World war. Mr.
Dragoo had hi3 subject well in hand,
showing him to have been a very
keen observer of natural history and
to have a great love of the unusual
in flora and fauna of this interest
ing country.
The chalk drawings showing the
mechanism of the canal were both
instructive and entertaining. Those
who were fortunate enough to have ;
heard this talk were unanimous in
their expression of an evening well
spent.
From Friday's Daily
Sarah M. Metteer was : -rn De
cember 28th, 1844 in Bradford coun
ty, Pennsylvania. In 1803 she with
her parents moved to Muscatine
county, Iowa. At that place she was
united in marriage to Peter Eveland
and the following year they moved
to Cass county, Nebraska, where they
took up a homestead near Elmwood.
This farm has been their home ever
since until four years ago, when they
moved to Elmwood to live.
To this union nine children were
born, eight girls and one boy. Three
died in infancy. Six of the girls, to
gether with their father, one broth
er, fifteen grand children and two
great grand children and other near
relatives remain to mourn her death.
The daughters are Mrs. Frank Gus
tin and Miss Nora Eveland, of Elm
wood; Mrs. Fred Bockelman, of Lew
iston, Nebraska; Mrs. R. A. Kuehn,
of Big Springs, Nebraska; Mrs. J. H.
Schwin of gallala, Nebraska, and Mrs.
II. Newton Lang of Wilton Junction,
Iowa. At the age of fifteen years
she united with the M. E. church and
has since been consistent and faithful
in her belief.
Mrs. Eveland passed to her reward
on January 19th, 1924, at their tem
porary winter home at 421 West 3rd
street. Long Beach, California, where
she together with her husband and
daughter, Nora, had gone to spend
the winter. Her illness was so brief
that her loss is felt very keenly by
those who survive her.
Sleep on dear mother and take thy
rest,
Lay down thy head upon thy Sav
ior's breast;
We loved thee well, but Jesus loves
thee best;
Calm is the slumber as an Infant's
sleep,
But thou shalt wake no more to toil
and weep;
Thine is a perfect rest, secure and
deep.

Hew to ;,1ahe 1 924 a Good Year
Pausing at the end of the first month
of 1924, let us take stock of this fact:
Piattsmouth cannot grow cannot
even continue to exist without the sup
port of the farmers in this part of Cass
county. The farmers would find them
selves handicapped in their efforts to make
money without Piattsmouth.
Whole-h earted co-operation on the
part of town and country will be mutual
ly profitable. The First National Bank be
lieves that 1924 will be a good year for
all if this spirit of co-operation pre
vails. Do your part !
