COMPLAIN OF CEMETERY
From Thursday's Dally
The Journal has received a num
ber of complaints as to the condition
of Oak Hill cemetery in regard to
the fact that weeds have grown up
there and marred the beauty of this
city of the silent where sleep those
who have been loved and lost a little
while.
Those who have visited the cem
etery that that the weeds are very
high in many places and growing
between lots and generally causing
the cemetery to appear very untidy
and neglected save in a few isolated
lots where there is evidence of care
and thoughtfulness.
There should be an effort made
to have attention given to the cut
ting the weeds and grass in the
cemetery before the coming winter
season and while the task of cut
ting the grass and weeds in the cem
ettry is too large for the sexton to
be able to carry out alone there
should be a step taken to have this
work done and the cemetery placed
in as good condition as possible.
The general system of handling
the cemetery seems to be one that
does not give the best result and the
affairs should be placed in the hands
of a cemetery association that could
give it more time and attention or
the sexton should be paid a salary
that would allow him giving prac
tically all of his time to the care of
the cemetery which under the pres
ent system is impossible.

of the Wiles family from Mills coun
ty, Iowa, and Cass county. Nebraska,
as well as a few from Missouri, who
came to join in the family reunion
that has for the past twenty years
been an annual event.
The scene of the reunion was one
of the most attractive nature, the
beautiful park at Glenwood with its
lake and places of recreation form
ing a wonderful setting for the event.
This family has traced their des
cent to Luke Wiles, a resident of
the state of North Carolina in the
year 1765 and from whom in direct
line came many of the members of
the party while others by marriage
have become a part of the family tree
of this pioneer stock that embraces
hundreds in the states of Iowa, Ne
braska and Missouri. Thomas Wiles
and Elizabeth Hobson Wiles are the
direct ancestors of the family in this
locality and they mM be proud to
know their descendants if they were

family present were Thomas Wiles
of Jamesport, Missouri, and Thomas
Wiles of this city, one 86 and the
other 84, both veterans of the civil
war and who are grandsons of two
of the Wiles brothers of early days.

and also re-elected as treasurer
while Luke L. Wiles of this city was

in Cass and Mills county.

Finds Many In
teresting Points
on Southern Trip
L. L. Turpin, Court Reporter, Re
turns From National Meeting
of Shorthand Reporters.
From Friday's Dally
L. L. Turpin, court reporter in the
second judicial district, and one of
the officers of the Nebraska State
Shorthand Reporters association, has
just returned from, a visit of some
three weeks at Ran Antonio, Texas,
where he attended the meeting of
the National Shorthand Reporters as
sociation. While at the convention
M,r. Turpin was one of the speakers
on the program of the convention
and discussed many of the problems
of the court reporters as viewed here
in Nebraska.
Mr. Turpin was well pleased with
the trip anl found many points f
interest in San Antonio, one of the
eldest settlements in Texas and
which was a settled community in
the days of the Spanish and Mexican
rule in Texas. The chief feature of
historic inteerst in San Antonio tc
the visitor, is the famous Alamo, the
scene of the heroic struggle of the
Texans against the overwhelming
forces of Santa Anna, Mexican presi
dent and general, and in which the
Americans fought to the death and
fcliose struggle lit the fires of wrath
that led to the severing of the south
west from Mexico. There are also a
number of the interesting old mis
sions near the city, founded by the
friars in the centuries gone by and a
number of these missions are well
preserved altho others are yielding to
the passing time.
The residents of San Antonio and
the southwest part of Teras have
much in common with the south and
while equally western they have the
pleasing southern accent and the
easy going ways of the old south
and also the spirit of hospitality that
makes the stranger in their gates
welcome and at home.
The crop conditions in that sec
tion of Texas are good Mr. Turpin
states, the corn being matured there
and while it Is considered a very
good crop is not near like the yields
in Nebraska and Iowa, as the country
there is not the rich soil that is pro
ductive of such large yields of corn.
The cotton has been an abundant
crop in the southwest but in many
places a great deal of it Is marred
by rust, caused by the heavy rain?
early in the season and which will
have a tendency to check the other
wise large crop.
While at San Antonio Mr. Turpin
with the other members of the party
enjoyed a trip through the Rio
Grande valley, south of San Antonio
and had the pleasure of visiting
Brownville and other points of his
toric interest and to view the touches
of Mexican life and custom that has
been very strongly marked in that
part of Texas, as several of the Mex
ican cities are just across the Ric
Grande and the Americans and Mex
icans have many visitors to and from
both sides of the border.

to lose one of their old and highly

and now with the departure of Judge
Beeson the last of the family in the
community will have gone away or
passed on. The parents are resting
here in the last sleep but the mem
bers of the family are all residing
at other points.
The fact that the aged uncle and
aunt of Mrs. Beeson, Mr. and Mrs.
Morgan Waybright, reside at Los
Angeles, and also two of the married
daughters of Judge and Mrs. Beesor
are living on the west coast has caus
ed the family to make the decision
to leave and to make their home in
the west.
Judge Beeson was for years a lead
ing figure in the republican political
circles of the county and was for
twenty-two years county judge, hav
ing been succeeded in office by Judge
A. H. Duxbury, the present occupant,
and the Judge has been one of the

been an outstanding figure in the
work of the Women's club and has
served as its president for several
terms and also has been active in the
work of the Methodist church and a
number of social organizations of the
city.
The going of this family brings r
great regret to the friends and while
they are still to receive the expres
sions of their friends, they are being
showered with the well wishes for
