Funeral of H. F.
Gansemer Large
ly Attended
Hundreds Gather at Late Home in
Mt. Pleasant Precinct for Last
Tribnte to Friend.
The funeral services of the late
Herman F. Gansemer were held on
Saturday afternoon at 1:30 at the
late home northwest of Murray, be
ing one of the largest funerals ever
held in the county and attesting the
high respect and esteem that the de
parted had been held by his friends
from every part of Cass county..
Long before the hour of the ser
vices the friends commenced to gath
er and the vicinity of the home was
packed with cars that had brought
the friends to give a last measure of
respect and to take a last farewell
The services at the home were
conducted by Rev. A. Lentz, pastor
of the Eight Mile Grove Lutheran
church, who paid a tribute to the
memory of the departed and brought
to the sorrowing relatives and
friends the comfort and hope of the
future meeting when the partings of
earth are past.
During the services the choir of
the Eight Mile Grove church com
posed of Mrs. A. Lentz, Mrs. Julius
Engelkemeier, Arthur Hild and Glen
Kraeger gave two of the old and loved
hymns. Miss Thelma Kreager served
as the accompanist. L. D. Hiatt of
Plattsmouth, a close friend of the de
parted gave a solo number, "Abide
Vith Me," in which he was accom
panied by E. H. WeBCOtt at the piano,
At the conclusion of the services
at the home the funeral cortage drove
to this city where the body was laid
to the last long rest in Oak Hill ceme
tery. The pall bearers were six of the
nephews of Mr. Gansemer, Lester,
Clell and Leo Gansemer of Murray,
Frank Pollard and Harry Knabe of
Nehawka and Joe Habel of near
"Weeping Water.
A number from this - city -.were
gathered at the cemetery here to at
tend the brief commitment service
at the grave.
In the sudden and unexpected call
ing away from hla activities of life
of Herman Gansemer, the commun
ity has suffered the loss of one of its
outstanding citizens and one who
has left behind him the memory of a
high standard of character, one that
will serve as an Inspiration to his
family and friends In the future
years. Few men have possessed the
friendship of so many from all parts
of the county as did Mr. Gansemer
and it was his pleasant and kindly
personality and rugged honesty that
won for him the high respect of all
and endeared him to those who had
the privilage of being numbered
among the close friends and asso
ciates In the years that he has made
his home In Cass county. To the loved
ones of his family circle he has left
the priceless heritage of a loving
memory of a kindly husband and
father to sustain them In the hour
of separation. Truly Herman Gan
semer was the true measure of a man
and one whose living has given to
the community In which he was a
resident, a splendid citizen.

two yearB served as the principal of
the Plattsmouth high school, has re

ment of the school, Mr. Simons hav
ing a masters degree in this line of
teaching and will take up his work

ELKS POSTPONE PICNIC
Prom Monday's Dally
Owing to the rain of Sunday it
was found necessary to postpone the
Elks picnic yesterday and the event
will be held on next Sunday at the

This change was necessary due . to
the wet condition of the grounds
that made any of the outdoor activ
ities impossible.'
The golf tournament was also laid
over until next Sunday for the finals
when Don Pittman and Frank Hor
sack fill play for the city champion
ship. The committee in charge of the
tournament and picnic are prepar
ing to get busy and have the event
pulled off in all of its original plans
that provide a great deal of enter
tainment for the young and old
alike.
The postponement was a great dis
appointment to a large number of
the people who had planned to at
tend but they will all prepare to take
in the big show next Sunday.
