Death of Mrs. C. L. Elliott
Word has been received by Cass
county friends of the death of Mrs.
C. L. Elliott, at her home in Sebring,
Florida, after an extended period of
ill health. She was the wife of Rev
iCuthbert L. Elliott, former pastor of
I the MI E. church in Union as well as
at Louisville.
Burial was at Marshall. Texas, the
former home of Mrs. Elliott before
coming to Nebraska. Her ill health
in this part of the country caused
them to move to Florida several years
ago, and this no doubt prolonged her
life considerably.
Rev. Elliott is a native of Ireland,
but his wife was born in Texas. She
was a charming woman and one well
qualified for the wife of a minister
and she was loved and highly re
spected by all who knew her and her
many friends in this vicinity will be
grieved over the news of her demise.

winters and some hot summers has

buried at the Wyoming Methodist
church on Tuesday, December 18th,

Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Bap
tist church of Union. Mrs. Meade,

born February 22, 1859, at Bolliver,
Mo., and was united in marriage with
A. J. Meade at that place, July 13,
1879. To this union thirteen child

Likes Cass County.
N. C. Christensen who was born
in Denmark about 75 years ago, left
the native soil some forty-one years
ago, and came to America and lo
cated in Cass county, near Weeping
Water, and has made his home here
since.
Mr. Christensen says if he had
only known when he was born what
he found after coming to the vicin
ity of Weeping Water to live he
would have been born here. He says
also that he is glad that he found
so wonderful a place to reside as Cass
county and would advise any one
wanting a new home to come to
Cass county.
Are for Improvements.
E. F. Marshall is not satisfied with
the old office at the elevator but feels
times are to close to embark in a
building campaign, but as he has had
some good offers from patriotic citi
zens among which are T. L. Davis,
who offered to give five dollars and
two days work, and J. I. Corley has
made the offer of two days work,
and as well Frank E. WToods said he
would give two days work, they all
wanted to put in their labor tearing
the office down, but would not as
sist in building a new one. Every
one is .willing to do their portion,
but where it will end we do not
know.
