Lincoln's Birth
day One of Storm
and Quietude
Banks and Court House Observe the
Event, While Other Activities
"Carry On." as Usual.
As the anniversary of Abraham
Lincoln occurred Sunday, today was
generally observed as the holiday in
the city by the banks and the coun
ty offices, at the court house, where
the only activity was found at the
offices of the county judge and the
county clerk, in which the machin
ery of government was operating as
usual with routine matters.
The blizzard-like weather that pre
vailed made it most disagreeable and
kept the visitors from the country
districts a3 well as the residents of
the town well in their own homes
and travel along the highways was
strictly confined to those who found
urgent reason to be out.
The passing of the anniversary of
the birth of Abraham Lincoln fur
nished one of the greatest chapters of
American history and one that should
be an inspiration to the youth of the
present day as well as the future igan. on the present site of Dear
generations, in the life story of this. born. In 1S53, at the age of 15, he

name in irrepressible glory on the !
historv of the world and whose char-!
acter and great will broke the force
of the irreat civil war and preserved '

His education, gathered from the'mana Indian school. He was well
most painful methods, self taught
and with scarce the books to learn
the common rudiments of education,
he fought his way to a place in the
ages with the greatest of the world
and by the stroke of his pen freed a
race from slavery in this nation. His
life is probably the greatest example
of what the American nation stands
for in the way of opportunity as he
came from the humblest in the land
and advanced to the highest office in
the land. From his lips "have come
some of the most beautiful gems of
oratory and frim his insight into the
future and his firm stand against
disunion has arisen a great nation.
The life of Lincoln brings the ex
ample that birth, breeding, religious
belief or political ideas should not be
a bar to the aspirations of the Amer
ican boy to the highest office in the
land, and his services to the nation
show the splendid part that the real
American from the humble home has
given to the nation that he loved and
in whose service he was stricken
down by the bullet of the assassin.

with his patents, one brother, and
two sisters, came to Council Dluffs,
Iowa, and in the fall of the same
Var to Bellevue, Neb. His father
William Gilmour, Sr.. was president
of the first Nebraska Claim club, and
'traded with the Omaha Indians, for
a tract or land, on, or near the pres-
nt Site of Fort Crook. His father
acquainted with Logan Fontanelle,
chief of the Omaha's, and accompan
ied them on their regular buffalo
hunts, and was present at Logan
Fontanelle's funeral in the 50s. He
freighted to Denver, making several
trips across the plains,, freighting
food and supplies to the miners, at a
time when it was a very hazardous
undertaking, on account of Indian
uprisings. He helped haul sod for
the government in building old Fort
Kearney, and was well' acquainted
with all the pioneers and freighters
of that time, such as Steele & John
son. Russell. Waddel, Moses Dodge,
and James Porter, and others..
While returning on his last
freighting trip from Denver to the
Missouri river, the news was receiv
ed that President Lincoln had called
for volunteers to put down the re
bellion; it caused great excitement
among the little band of freighters,
and some one of the bunch made the
remark that he did not think that
Old Abe would get any support from
this bunch, when he spoke up and
said, "Here is one, that is going to
help." He enlisted at Plattsmouth,
Nebr.. in Co. H, Second Neb. Cav. un
der Captain Marshall, and served

It took them six weeks to make the
trip.
He served as deputy sheriff under
Sheriff Mart Cutler of Cass county,
and also under his successor. Sheriff
Ruben Hyers.

Masonic lodge at Rock Bluffs and
later transferred to Nehawka lodge,
where he retained his membership
until his death, which occurred Jan.
2Sth, 1928. at the age of 89 years,
4 months and 8 days.
Mr. Gilmour was well acquainted
with many of the early pioneers,
such as French Louie, Peter A. Sarpy,
Wheatly Mickelwaite, and the Font
tanelle. He was united in marriage to Miss
Lucy Ellen Towner, at the residence
in Plattsmouth of Judge S. M. Chap
man, on Oct. 2nd, 1867. she being
the daughter of Rev. A. Towner, who
was one of the earliest settlers of
Rock Bluffs, Cass county, where the
family resided for many years.. Mrs.
Gilmour preceded her husband in
death on Dec. 11th, 1924. There re

and were at the veiy small end of
a 37 to 14 score and without the lo
cals at any time being in danger of
defeat.

the second team players to appear on
the scene and for a part of the game
they furnished the excitement for the
fans th3t had braved the storm to be
out and enjoying the contest, the

School of the Deaf to make a much
better showing than they could have
otherwise as the first string players
held them to the narrow margin of
one point in the opening half of the
game.

dangerous aspect.

Barber, left guard of the Deaf was
the only one of his team to score,
making a free throw while Wescott.
Galloway, Perry and Hatt each an
nexed a field goal and Hatt and Had
raba three free throws.

on the part of each team and Had-
raba was the only Platter to tally
with a field goal while the visitors
were blanked. The count at the half
was 13 to 1 for the Platters.
In the third quarters the locals
started a scoring spree that gave
them a commanding lead, Hatt and
Wescott securiirg two field goals and
Perry three field choice from a free
throw. Keim, lanky forward of the
visitors registered once and a free
throw by Petit gave an additional
score.
In the last period of the game the
regulars of the blue and white were
all given a rest from the melee and
the visitors were able to annex ten
points against the Platters while
Hutton with one field goal was the
only one of the junior Platters to
score. In the brief time that the
regulara of the blue and white re
mained in the going, Hatt annexed
two field goals. Perry two and Gal

struggle against the visitors.
