Fifty Years Passes Away
Another one of Elmwood and Cass

final summons-on last Monday morn-
lng. Mr. Hollenbeck has lived In
Elmwood ror some years ana in ms
going, one or the nnest ana Desi ciu-

l happy disposition and had a host of
friends who will keenly feel his loss.
Following Is the outline or his lire,
Isaac Hume Hollenbeck was born
October 25, 1854, at Genoa, De Kalb
! county, Illinois, and died March 4.
1929. having reached the age of 74
years. 4 months and 9 days. In 1861.
when 7 years of age, he moved 1th
his parents to Prairie City, la., in
1872, to Mound City, Missouri, and
1877, to Cass county, Nebraska,
where he was united In marriage to

his father's family of ten children,
only two brothers remain, Edwin Hol
lenbeck, of Manhattan, Kansas, and
John S. Hollenbeck. of Butte. N. D..
one brother having recently preceded
him. His brother, Edwin, was at his
J bedside the last few days up to the
time of his death. All the children
also came in time for a last hand
clasp and a word of farewell. Neither
of them left the last days, knowing
that the end was near. He also leav
es 14 grandchildren and many other
relatives and a host of friends to

one of the charter members of Grand
View Christian church. He was a
man of stability and trustworthy in
every way. He was a kind husband,
loving father and a good neighbor.
The finest relationship existed be
tween him and his immediate fam
ily and the people of the community,
of which one soon became aware at
ter learning to know him. His lov
ing companion and his son, Lewis,
and wife, tenderly cared for him
through the long days and nights of
suffering, until his spirit took its
flight to the realms of eternal day,
where all earthly limitations are re
moved and sorrow and pain in ban
ished forever.
The following acted as pallbear

tions, and Mr. Adolph Rosenkoetter
acted In his stead.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gilmore of
Callaway, Nebr., Mr. Wilson Gilmore
of Weeping Water, Mr. Clyde Gil
more of Louisville, Nebr., and Mr.

present at the funeral services.

Rev. J. A. Klein, pastor of the church
and Rev. Victor West, of Lincoln. In
terment was made in the Elmwood

FACE BAD ROADS
The state highways will be in the
worst condition they have been in
years when the frost begins to leave
the ground this spring. Itoy Cochran,
state engineer, predicted Tuesday
morning on his return rrom an in
spection trip through the central
part of the state.
Nebraska will see road conditions
this spring that are common in
northern states, particularly in Minn
esota, he said. The frost In the
ground ranges from three to as much
as seven feet In depth, as compared
with twelve to fourteen inches, which
has been the average frost depth, in

It may be expected that when tlie
thaw comes the gravleed highways
will be seriously affected. As the

Save the Child-
ren from Danger
of Rail Tracks
Some Pertinent Facts Presented for
the Information of Schools
and Parents
This newspaper has an important
message for school teachers and the
fathers and mothers of children in
this community.
Splendid work as been done by the
teachers in our schools In advising
the pupils of dangers in the streets.
Perhaps it is not going loo far to
say that the average child looks both
ways to see if a car Is coming before
crossing the street. This is the re
sult of frequent reminders given in
the school room. The teachers are
doing fine work In this respect.
We wish to call the attention ot
teachers and parents to the fact that
hundreds of children are killed or
injured by lack of care, or positive
recklessness around railroad tracks.
There are four ways in which chil
dren run risks of death or injury
aroun dthe tracks, as follows:
1. Walking on the tracks.
2. Jumpinug on, or off trains to
steal rides.
3. Crossing tracks at public cross
ings. 4. Crossing tracks at other places.
We have figures from government
records to show how many children
were killed or injured in each ol
those four ways in the year 1928:
Walking on tracks: Killed SI;
Injured SO.
Jumping on or off trains: Killed j
141: Injured 4 98.
Crossing at public crossing: Killed
10: Injured 12.
Crossing at other places: Killed
73: Injured 83.
Here we have a total of 305 killed
and 673 injured.
Teachers and parents, these fig
ures ought to make all of us feci out
responsibility to the rising genera
tion. There is an old saying that "you
cannot put old heads on young shoul
ders" but that Is no reason we can
not put the Safety Idea Into the
heads of the school children.
Children gj' to school to learn
and there is no reason why we should
not take a.little time to teach them
how to avoid dangers around rail
road tracks.
Teachers and parents we ask you
to ero over these figures and explain
to the children that if they wi.h to
avoid the sad fate of being killed, or
going through life in a crippled con-
dition, they will avoid walking rail- ncensea ana o.isb larm trucks,
road tracks, never try to hop on or , Passenger cars numbered 358,02..
off trains, avoid crossing the tracks with 109 buses and 3.3 12 dealer's

them to keep them back?
