William Deles
Dernier, a Well
Known Citizen
Late Elmwood Attorney Has Had a
Long and Distinguished Career
in His Life in County.
William Deles Dernier was of
French descent, as the name indi
cates. His father, William Deles Der
nier, came from Nova Scotia to the
States and served our government
in the Civil war, on a gunboat, as a
machinist, on the Mississippi river.
Mis mother, was Sarah J. Porter,
who was born in Louisiana, and was
married at Memphis, Tenn., where
William Jr., was born, Dec. 3rd.
1856 and passed quietly and peace
fully away at his home in Elmwood,
at 8 p. m.. Nov. 21st. 1929. It may
be said that he was full of years as
he was nearly 73 years old.
For nearly two years he had un
complainingly battled with his ail
ment, but met a steady decline until
his robust nature could stand no
more and in the presence of his wife,
part of his children and friends, he
wielded his spirit to return to the
God who gave it. He was conscious
to the last and his roving eye seem
ed to be looking for his boys who
were unavoidably detained.
For a short time the family lived
at New Albany, Ind., where a sister
of the deceased wa3 born and died.
and was buried.
In 1866, the family in company
with three other families arrived at
Nebraska City, by boat, on the 11th
day of March. The first location was
at Nehawka, where some of the rela
tives still live, but the subject of this
sketch with his parents homesteaded
a tract of land southeast of Elmwood,
where remained the home until their
removal to Elmwood, about forty
years ago.
His boyhood days were spent in
Nebraska pioneer life, herding cattle
in parts of Cass and Otoe counties.
At the age of 20 years, he united with
the Christian church during a revival
meeting at Fairview school house.
held by the late Rev. Cyrus Alton.
He was useful to this early church
organization as chorister in their mu
sical devotion.
On Sept. 19th, 1883, he was united
in marriage to Gertrude I. Beck, to
which union were born five sons and
three daughters, Wililam and Lloyd
having preceded their father to the
great beyond. Of those living Ches
ter, is at Seattle, Wash., Harold, at
Alliance, Nebr. ; Reynolds, at Omaha,
Nebr.: Mrs. Myrtle Lajighorst. at
Sugar City, Colo.; Mrs. Bessie Pen
terman, at Ft. Dodge, Iowa; and Mrs.
Estelle McNemee, of Omaha, Nebr.
There are nine grandchildren and
two cousins living near. These and
his faithful wife are left to mourn
his departure.
Mr. Deles Dernier's higher educa
tion was received at Keokuk College,
Iowa, and later took up the study of
law and was admitted to the bar,
April 24th, 1894. He practiced his
profession in Elmwood, for a period
of 35 years, during which time he
was connected with many important
cases in this and adjoining counties.
In 1898, he was elected to serve as
representative from Cass county, in
the Nebraska legislature, and served
his constituents well for two terms.
He was a kind and indulgent hus
band and father. It was a pleasure
to him to know that his children
were in homes of their own. In civic
affairs, he always had a keen inter
est and for many years was th presi
dent of Elmwood board of education.
He had attained his thirty-second
degree in Masonry. He was a mem
ber of Sesostris Temple Shrine, but
his keenest delight was in his home
lorge, where only a short time ago
he attend its meeting.
One of the great pleasures of Mr.
Deles Dernier's life was in his chil
dren and his grandchildren. And he
was never happier than when he was
with them.
The last rites were under Masonic
direction with services at the Chris
tian church, with sermon by the pas
tor, the Rev. Mr. Kratzer. lie is at
rest in the cemetery at Elmwood, a
place in earlier days, he had helned
to beautify.
MBS. WAGNER INJURED
The many Plattsmouth friends of
Mrs. Fred Wagner, a resident of this
city for many years, will regret very
much to learn that she is at the
Lord Lister hospital at Omaha in
very serious condition as the result of
an auto accident which occurred late
Wednesday afternoon at 19th and
Chicago streets.
Mrs. Wagner, who is assisting her
husband in their restaurant located
near Creighton college had started
for her home on Chicago street in a
cab driven by Harry Sage, and when
the cab reached the intersection at
19th and Chicago streets it collided
with another large car and the force
of the impact was such that the cab
was overturned and the driver and
Mrs. Wagner were both caught in the
car and unable to get out until ex
tricated by passing autoists and the
Injured lady taken to the hospital
for treatment.

Dear Mr. Wurl:
I have been thinking about my
contemplated trip to Plattsmouth
next month let's see. it's the 14th
of December, isn't it? Well. I'm
counting on being there but I've
been thinking that I would like to
make a little change in the usual ar
rangements. You know, I have al
ways given out some little tickets to
the kiddies for their remembrance
from me, but someway I have imag
ined that I saw a little look of dis
appointment on some of the faces
and I believe it would be better if we
could have all the tokens right there
at, the meeting place and give them
out to the kiddies right there. What
do you think of that? If you agree
with me, I wish you would arrange
it that way. Have some of your good
men to help me, as I presume there
will be a lot of boys and girls to
meet me this time. Let me hear from
you about this.
Cherilly yours,

Land Owner
Asks $20,000
RoadBamages
Elbert Wiles Tiles Petition in Road
Location Cse and Claims Dam
ages in a Large Sum.
From Friday's TiaTly
The case pending in the district
court in the award of damages in
the re-location of highway No.
south of this city, where a part of
the road is b.'inc graded through the
farm owned by Elbert Wiles, finds
both the state department of public
works and Mr. Wiles appealing from
the award made in the case.
The matter of re-location of the
highway was taken up through the
process of the state law by condem
nation proceedings in the county
court following the failure of the
state department of public works and
Mr. Wiles to agree on the price to
be paid for the land, the owner of
the land desiring to prevent the con
struction of the road, which cuts
through a large part of his farm and
separates the land which is now in
one large farm.
Under the process of law a board
of appraisers comprising F. P. Shel
don, cf Nehawka, O. A. Davis, of
Murray and Charles Troop, of this
city, made examination of the pro
posed road and fixed the sum of
$S,000 as the amount of damages to
be due Mr. Wiles for the construc
tion of the road through the farm.
The state department of public
works has appealed from the decis
ion to the district court, claiming
the amount so allowed was in ex
cess of the damages sustained by the
road construction and pending the
hearing of the case has paid over the
award to the court to await the de
cision in the case.
Now the defendant through his
attorney, A. L. Tidd. ha? also filed
an arpeal in the case, claiming that
the road construction program ha3
caused a damage to the farm and its
value of $20,000. The petition of
Mr. Wiles also attacks the section of
the state law under which the high
way construction was taken, as being
unconstitutional and faulty In the
preparation and phrasing of the sec
tion of the law passed by the last
legislature.
While the cases are pending, the
road construction work will be car
ried on, however.
