Mrs. Sarah Col
lins Dies at Ripe
Old Age Today
Oldest Resident of Nebraska Masonic
Home Passes Away This Morn
ing After Eventful Life
From Thursday's Dally
The death of Mrs. Sarah Collins,
oldest resident at the Nebraska Ma
sonic home in this city occurred this
morning at the home, she being at
the time of her death 94 years of
age and a member of the family at
the home for the past six years.
Mrs. Collins has been very active
and vigorous and it was not until the
last week that her sickness has con
fined her to her bed, up to that time
she being able to get around and
look after the many little tasks in
which she found pleasure and to en
joy getting over the Home and visit
ing the other residents there. Al
though in an age that usually means
a forced inactivity, Mrs. Collins was
exceptionally active and bright and
retained the greatest interest In the
affairs of the world.
The deceased lady was born Feb
ruary 21. 1S32, at Washington, New
Jersey, where she spent the younger
years of her life and later came west
to Nebraska and was a resident at
Vahoo, Nebraska, for a long period
of years, where her husband, a mem
ber of Wahoo lodge No. 59, A. P. &
A. M., was called from her side by
death. Mrs. Collins is survived by
one granddaughter, Mrs. Richard
Janssen, of Cothenberg, Nebraska; a
daughter-in-law, Mrs. R. P. Brow
nell, of North Bend, Nebraska, and
a niece, Mrs. John F. Ragan, of Om
aha. The lifetime of Mrs. Collins has
extended far beyond the average span
of human existance and has measur
ed through the administration of
twenty-four presidents of the United
States. Andrew Jackson was just
serving his first term at the time of
the birthy of Mrs. Collins, the Mis
sissippi river was the boundary of the
active settled sections of the United
States, the area beyond there to the
far-off Pacific coast beine.. compara
tively unknown. In her lifetime the
Mexican -war was fought -and, the
vast areas of California, Nevada, part
of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and
Texas added to the union. The Civil
war with its threat of national sep
aration of the north and south was
also staged in the years of her life,
and she has lived to see also the
Spanish-American and World wars
fought. In her time she has seen the
old monarchies and absolute govern
ments of the world crumble and give
way to democracies, and republics so
that the monarchies of the world can
now be numbered on a person's hand.
The funeral services of Mrs. Col
lins were held this afternoon at 2
o'clock at the Masonic Home and the
body taken on the afternoon Burling
ton train - to Wahoo, where it was
laid to the last long rest beside that
of the husband in the cemetery near
the old home.

Mr. Milbern was taken sick Monday

MRS. KAFFENBERGER
IS AT SANITARIUM
From Thursday's Daily
Mrs. George A. Kaffenbergen of
Lincoln, who has been in very poor
health for the past several months
and was for some time here with the
relatives taking teratment, has been
taken to the Everett sanitarium at
that place. The case of Mrs. Kaffen
berger has been quite baffling to the
'attending physicians and the patient
hn hen nlncori at the sanitarium for
treatment and observation and it is
hoped that the treatment the patient
will receive will relieve her of her
long illness.
Comparison of
Prices Made by
Local Dealer
Retail Store Here Undersells on
Goods That Were Sent by Mail
From Manufacturer.
From Friday's Daily
A real concrete example of the
fact that local merchants can, and
do, meet the prices of outside con
cerns and in hundreds of cases their
prices are even lower than that made
by the outside concerns, is being
shown at the store of C. E. Wescott's
Sons.
Some time ago a large number of
the men in this community received
by mail a package of four knit ties
that were sent here by mail and
with the circular letter that stated
that the ties were a bargain and
.could be had by the person receiving
10 compare me man oraer lies wun
tliose sold by local dealers, both as
to price and quality and with a re
sult that was a surprise to Mr. Davis
as showing the great difference that
exists between honeyed mail order
goods and the honest bed rock prices
that Plattsmouth merchants give.
Mr. Davis visited the Wescott's
Sons store where Cliff, Hilt and Emil
distributor had placed on his wares.
Ties of the same weight and tex
ture that were quoted at "bargain"
. . , m,n
"v daIer-at $1. 50, were found to
be matched by the Wescott store and
also the Thierolf and Soennichsen
clothing houses at $1.35. This show

iand the incidental Costs of overhead
hIle the manufacturer merely had
tharn mai-H n,,f nf Ma nit nnH
offered at so called "bargain" prices
that were higher than the regular
selling price of the Plattsmouth
merchants.
This is a real lesson in the value
of trading at home, showing that
the mail order house and the outside
concerns that contribute nothing to
the community welfare are merely
taking the money away that should
remain here in articles that they
charge more for and are not as good
as the local merchant can supply for
less cost.
The difference of $1.50 for the
mail order ties and $1.35 for the ties
sold at home show clearly that "bar
gains" by mail are not as valuable
as some might think, and which an
Investigation by pricing at the local
stores will show that the:' have the
mail order houses skinned in every
way as to price and quality and fur
ther that if you do not like the pur
chases that you make at home you
can go in and tell your troubles and
have them adjusted while with the
mail order house you can be satisfied
or seek some warmer region.
CLYDE PTAK IMPROVING
From Friday's Daily
The condition of Clyde Ptak seems
to be showing continued advancement
as the young man who was suffering
from a very severe attack of kidney
trouble has been so much improved
that he is now able to be up and
around some and to enjoy the meals
with the members of the family. He
has been reduced to normal in weight
and is feeling so much better that
it has greatly encouraged his family
and friends. The young man has
been under the care of Dr. R. P.
Westover since August and who has
secured some beneficial effects in
treating the young man.
UNDERGOES OPERATION
From Saturday's Dally
Yesterday at Lincoln Mrs. George
A. Kaffenberger, former resident of
this city, was operated upon at the
Everett sanitarium in that city for
the purpose, of giving the patient re
lief from her very severe case of ulcers
of the stomach from which she has
been suffering for the past year. The
patient seems to be deriving some
benefit' from the effects of the oper
ation altho it is still such a short
time following the operation that the
final result canot be fully determined.
WILL GO TO OLD HOME
Mrs. P. T. Heineman. who has not
ibeen feeling the best for some time,
will leave the last of this week for

time at the home of her parents,
her former home at Geneva, Ne
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Dempster, until
she is improved.
FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH
From Friday's Daily
The superstitious in the commun
ity had grave reason to be very quiet
and Inactive today as this was one
of the supposidly unlucky days of the
year Friday, the 13th. Those who
believe in the danger of a black cat
crossing their path, seeing the new
moon over their "left shoulder or
spilling salt, walking under a ladder
and other ideas of bad luck producers,
are certainly having an added burden
in their bad luck jinks today with
the calander all against them.
Those who had planned trips to
any distance in noting the calander
were able to cancel them and start
under more promising dates.
If anything unusual occurs today
there is only one thing to ascribe it
to and that is the date.
Brief Sketch
of Life of Fran
cis A. Cremer
Former Resident of Cass County is
Called to His Last Reward at
Home in Ashland, Nebr.

vember 4, 1925, aged 68 years, 4
months and 19 days.
In 1876 he came to Ashland, Ne
braska, with his uncle Joseph Crem
er and settled on a farm in the
Wortman neighborhood where he re
sided until he was married to Sallie
M. Lee at Ryans Glade, Garret coun
ty, Maryland, on September 16, 1S32.
Leaving immediately for Nebraska,
they arrived at South Bend on Sep
tember 20th and settled on a farm
in the Fairland neighborhood, where
he resided continuously until Janu
ary 17, 1917, when he moved to
Ashland, residing at the home of R
K. Hays until his death. To this
union were born three children, Etta
E., now Mrs. R. K. Hays, of Ashland;
a son who died in infancy, and Kate,
now Mrs. H. K. Anderson, of Lin
coln. ;
Mr. Cremer was a member of the

CHILD'S BOOK WEEK
From Friday's Daily
The display made by the public
library in the window at the Fifth
street side of the Bates Book and
Stationery Store has been one that
has attracted the greatest attention
from the passersby.
The window shows the activities
of child reading that radiate from the
public library and as part of the
window decorations there are many
of the interesting stories and books
for the children from the tots of ten
der years to those of more mature
years. In the disp.ay are many beau
tiful art works that give the child
an appreciation of the beautiful and
aids in the developing of the artistic
sense.
The public library in all places
and particularly in Plattsmouth, is
a great aid to the public school and
by their well stocked shelves they
give the student a wealth of refer
ence and reading material that re
lieves the school of the necessity of
maintaining a reference library.
The interest of the librarians in
the little folks has developed the
reading desire on the part of the
little ones and in the wholesome
lines of thought that are represented
in the books supplied by the library
they find many aids to character
building.
Reading a good book is a splendid
thing for the development of anyone
and in aiding this work the Platts
mouth public library has been per
forming a great duty to the com
munity. TREATMENT OVER RADIO
MAY SAVE A LIFE
Edmonton, Alberta, Nov. 13.
Treatment broadcast by radio from
here is expected to save the life of a
Miss Masters who is seriously ill at
the Church of England Mission at

ser Slave lake, about 150 miles from
Edmonton. Physicians formulated a
treatment which was broadcast by
radio. A letter received said the di
rections had been received and Miss
Masters was improving.

Gravel on the
Louisville Road
Mark for 1926
This 2roject Should Be the Aim of
the Residents of Northern Cass
County During Coming Year.
From Friday's Daily
While the dawning of the new
year of 192C is till some distance
away it is time now to plan as one
on the big county improvement move
ments for the year to have the "Louis
ville road" running west from this
city graveled, and now is the time
to start the ball rolling that when
the time comes the work can be
started and made effective.
This highway stretches across the
northern portion of Cass county from
Plattsmouth to Greenwood and is.
when conditions permit, one of the
n;ost extensively traveled roads in the
county, one that should be placed in
the best of shape with hard surfacing
that will make it the equal of any
in the county and give the residents
of the northern part of the county
a means of travel to and from the
county scat and permit those who
have business in the state capital at
Lincoln a chance to travel over a
we!! made and maintained highway.
The people of Louisville precinct
have graveled their yoriiou oi tue
roadway through the precinct from
the cast to the west and it is for
the precincts that adjoin Louisville
to got busy and help make the road
cne of the best in the county.
The, road not being a federal high
way project will not have the aid
of the federal government on it and
from the plans of the general gov
ernment to curtail this foature of fu
ture government expenditures it is
up to the Ca?s county people who live
in the northern section of the coun
ty to start the ball rolling and se
cure for themselves a road that could
be traveled at any season of the yeSr
without the hardships and troubles
that they have now each winter and
spring and sometimes in the rainy
summer season in getting through to
look after their trading and business
affairs. 1
While this main highway is being
graveled, if desired, there couJd be
branch roads -improved and giraffeied
leading toward Mynard and Cedar
Creek that would give additioal good
road facilities to the residents of
those localities and make a great
highway system.
West of Louisville the road is laid
in a straight line west to Greenwood
and with little effort could be placed
in fine shape for travel by hard sur
facing and would then give a high
way connecting at Greenwood with
the D. L. D. highway on into Lin
coln, permitting those who wished to
visit the state capital without the
inconvenience that they now suffer.
On the road west of Louisville, Mur
dock lies just a few miles from the
highway and this road also could be
made in fit shape for travel by sur
facing and create a network of roads
that would serve well to bring all
that portion of the county in closer
touch.
Let the good work be started.

Has Nervous
Break Down
Commander of the 17th Infantry, Well
Known Here, Now at Post Hos
pital at Fort Omaha.
From Friday's Daily
Colonel C. C. Kinney, commanding
officer of the 17th infantry, is at
the post hospital at Fort Omaha suf
fering from a very serious nervous
breakdown that has come to him as
the result of'the strenuous work that
he has had in the service and his
gradually failing health of the last
few months.
Col. Kinney and wife have been
living at the Blackstone hotel in Om
aha since the assignment of Co. Kin
ney as chief of staff of the 89th di
vision with his offices at the army
building in Omaha. Yesterday morn
ing on leaving for his office the col
onel declined the offer of Mrs. Kin
ney to drive him there and left his
homo at 8:30 to go to the army
building.
The commanding officer failed to
arrive at the office during the day and
at C o'clock last evening Mrs. Kinney
and Col. Tenney Ross, acting com

It was not until midnight that Col.
Kinney was located at the Burling
ton depot in Council Bluffs where he
had been for some time wandering
around and apparently suffering from
a very severe nervous breakdown. He
stated to the associates of the regi
ment that he had been intended to

treatment.
The colonel was taken to the hos

officer of the 17th infantry and has
been very prominent In the social
