PASSES 77TH MILESTONE
From Friday's Daily
On June 17. ISoO, at the pleasant
little town of Jerseyville. Jersey
county. Illinois, there arrived a
bouncing little lad who is today one
of the prominent figures in this city
where he has for the past fifty years
made his home. This little lad was
George King Staats, and he is today
very quietly observing the passing of
his 77th aniversary at the home here.
The birthday was featured by Mr.
Staats defeating Judge Weber at
checkers just to show that he is still
in fighting trim.
Mr. Staats spent his youth in Ill
inois and on September 15, 1877, he
first glimpsed the great Missouri
river and the bluffs and green hill
sides of the Nebraska side of the
river which were destined to be his
future home. He was engaged in
working here for a number of years
when the thought of the girl he had
left behind in the old Illinois home
called him back there and cn August
2 6. 1SS5. he was married at Jersey
ville to Miss Anna G- Porter, who has
shared the sunshine and shadow of
life with him for the past forty-two
years. The family has resided here
since the marriage and is among our
"best known and loved residents and
universally esteemed and respected
by those who have the pleasure of
"knowing them. For a great many
years Mr. Staats was employed in the
local postoffice and has for the past
few years been retired on the pension
list of the postal department for his
years of splendid service. Mr. and
Mrs. Staats have two children to en
joy the closing years with them. Miss
Pear! Staats. teacher in the local
schools and Clarence V. Staats of Se
attle. Washington.
It is the wish of the many friends
here that Mr. Staats may enjoy many
more such pleasant anniversaries in
the future years.
SETTLES LONG DEBT
From Thursday's Daily
A few days ago John Svoboda, 84.
one of the well known residents of
the west side of the city, received a
visit from a friend of several years
standing that has caused him to have
renewed faith in the honesty of man
kind. A number of years ago there
was a young man boarding with the
Svoboda family and who later left
the city and was unable to wholly set
tle his account with Mr. Svoboda and
left owing one dollar on his account.
The matter was not thought of after
wards by the Svoboda family until
Sunday when a stranger came up to
Mr. Svoboda and greeted him and
handed him two dollars, telling him
of the one dollar debt and that the
additional dollar was for interest. The
incident has gone far to make the
aged man feel there are still men who
do not so easily forget their obligations.
