John T. Coleman.
Formerly Here,
Dies in Idaho
Former Jeweler Here and Popular
Citizen Has Made Home at
American Falls. Idaho."
The many old Time friends here
of th' J. C. Coleman family will re
gret very much to learn of the de-ath
re-cently at American Falls. Idaho, of
John T. Coleman, a son of Mr. J. (
Coleman, the deceased having been
a jromineiit business man here and
very popular in social circles.
In speaking of his death the Amer
ican Falls Frss has the following:
John T. Coleman, proprietor of
Coleman's Jewelry store and one of
the best known business men in
American Falls, died at his home in
this city last Wednesday night. Dec.
2 0th. He had been a resident of
American Falls for more than twelve
years, and was prominent in business
and commercial circles.
Mr. Coleman had not been in ro
bust health for several years, but
remained in active charge of his
business until two weeks before his
death. At that time he was com
pelled to pi ve up his work, and his
death occurred about 10 o'clock Wed
nesday night. Few of his friends had
been aware of the critical nature of
his illness, and his death came as a
great shock to the community.
John T. Cob-man was a native of
Illinois. He was born at Coulterville.
111., on June 2. 1ST5. and thu? was
in the fifty-fourth year of his age.
When he was a child of four his
parents moved to Plattsmouth. Neb.,
and he was reared and educated at
that place. At fifteen he entered the
jewelry business as an apprentice to
a jeweler at Plattsmouth, and thor
oughly mastered the intricate trade.
His first business experience was
gained at Plattsmouth. where he con
ducted a jewelry store of his own
for several years. Then lie was offer
ed an excellent situation as a travel
ing salesman for a wholesale candy
company with headquarters at Chi
cago. Later he engaged in the whole- j
sale candy business for himself, lo
cating at Kansas City, Mo. After
disposing of this business he was
appointed as a watch inspector tor
the Santa Fe Railroad company, a
position he filled for several years.
In 1911 Mr. Coleman came west to
Idaho. He took up a homestead near
Rockland and conducted his farm for
a period of four years. At the end
of that time he opened a .jewelry
store in Rockland. He conducted this
store one year, and then, in 1916.
came to American Falls.
For more than twelve years he had
conducted his store here. It was a
model of its kind, and easily ranked
with the very best jewelry stores in
Idaho. When the town was moved to
provide a site for the American Falls
reservoir Mr. Coleman erected a busi
ness building on Idaho street, but
for the past two years had been lo
cated on Fort Hall avenue.
The deceased was a particularly
capable man. and took an intelligent
interest in civic and municipal af
fairs. He was public spirited to a de
gree, and was always ready to aid
:mv worth v nublic enterprise or un
dertaking. An engaging personality
enabled him to make and retain
friendships, and he had a wide circle
of acquaintances. In -the death of
John Coleman American Falls has
lost a useful citizen, a man who en
joved the confidence and the respect
of all.
Surviving the deceased are his
father, John C. Coleman, three
brothers and two sisters. The bro
thers and sisters are: M. E. Coleman,
American Falls; C. L. Coleman, Pitts
burgh. Pa.: A. L. Coleman, Chicago
111.: Mrs. O. A. Brown and Mrs. F.
Howland. both of whom make
their homes in New York City.
Mr Coleman's funeral was held
from the Methodist church at 2:00
o'clock last Saturday afternoon. The
deceased was affiliated with the Ma
sonic fraternity, and the pall bear
ers.J. P. Mehlhaff, E. C. Rowlands
T. C. Sparks. J. S. Schrock. Paul
Spaulding and Taul Bulnnch, were
fellow members of American Falls
L,odre. A. F. & A. M. Interment was
made in Fall view cemetery.

Has Champ Cora
Grower of Nebr.
Otto Schafer of Mt. .Pleasant Pre
cinct With Record cf 10S Bu
shels Has State Record.
The meeting of organized agricul
ture held at Lincoln this week was
the occasion of the announcement
of the awards made in vaiiou". lines
of farming activities and in this one
of the Cass county farmers wrn the
high honor of the champion corn
grower of the state.
This outstanding farmer is Otto
Schafer of Mt. Pleasant precinct, who
from his land brought forth a yield
of 10S bushels to the acre a yield
that exceeded that of the irrigated
cornfields of the western part of the
state and was the lesult of careful
and up to date farming and the
proper handling of the splendid land
that forms the Schafer farm.
The 10S bushel per acre corn was
raised on land that had previously
been plante-d with alfalfa and illus
trates the value of soil conservation
which has been one of the outstand
ing subjects that ha? been urgnd by
the farm bureaus and the agricul
tural interests of th6 state.
Mr. Schafer with the great yield
that he produced yv2,.vsiH tarm in
Mt. Pleasant precinct, nad a very
cloi second in the corn growing
contest with Nelson Berger of nar
Nehawka whose yield of corn was
verv heavv.
The result of 10S bushels of corn
represents the dry test after the.
shrink has gone from the corn and
which takes more or b-ss of the yield
from the corn as it comes from th"
field.
The honor that has come to Mr.
S.-hafer is one that Cass county farm
ers will be pleased to le-arn of and
everyone in the county can join in
