Mrs. Bina Kitzel
Pioneer Resident
of the County
Passing of Highly Esteemed Lady at
Alvo Takes Away a Loved and
Long Time Resident.
Id
SEES
Bina Cook, the oldest of 12, the
daughter of Joseph and Mary Cook,
was born at Dayton, Ohio, February
20, 1850, and passed away at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. E. M.
Stone, at Alvo at 3 a. m., Dec. 9,
1929, aged 79 years, 9 months and
19 days.
At the age of eight years she came
with her parents in a covered wagon
and settled near Plattsmouth. The
hardships and privations of pioneer
life was a reality, and no doubt play
ed some part in the development of
the beautiful and helpful spirit with
which she was endowed throughout
her entire life. On January 6, 1868,
she was united in marriage with
George Kitzel, and came to live on
school land near Alvo. This home
was still in her possession at the
time of her death. To this union
were born six children, four of whom
survive. Two daughters, Mrs. Minnie
Weichel and Mrs. Lulu Stone, two
sons, William of Alvo and Olin Al
bert of Waverly. Oscar passed away
several years ago, and a son, George,
at the age of three years. Mr. Kitzel
preceded his wife in death on May 19,
1896.
At the age of 12 years Mrs. Kitzel
gave her heart to God and united
with the Methodist church. Follow
ing her marriage she transferred her
membership with the husband to the
Evangelical church at Alvo, where
she was a faithful sister of the faith
until such time as her physical health
prevented her taking an active part
in the work of the Master. Aunt
Bina, as everyone knew her, was be
loved by the community and will long
be remembered for her unselfish and
kind deeds.
Services were conducted at the
Methodist church on Wednesday af
ternoon at one o'clock, with the Rev.
It. II. Chenoweth of Martel and Rev.
R. H. Street of Alvo in charge. Inter
ment was made in the Alvo cemetery.
Mrs. Kitzel is survived by her four
children, 11 grand children and 4
great-grandchildren; five brothers,
Phillip Cook. Jake Cook of Ord, and
Charles, John and Joe Cook of Platts
mouth. and three sisters, Mrs. Lina
Cole, Mrs. Mary Wheeler and Mrs.
Lizzie Vallery of Plattsmouth. Two
brothers, George and Will Cook, and
a sister, Mrs. Susan Hartman, are de
ceased. Other relatives and a host of
friends also survive.

Necessity at Hand to Plan for the
Future When River Transpor
tation Opens Up
The assurred development of the
Missouri river for navigation means
that the cities that lie along this
stream should prepare to look to
the future when they will be ports
of entry and shipment for their
neighboring communities in the
handling of the more bulky products
of the west such as grain and lines
of freight that do not require speed
in its handling.
The river navigation program will
mean much to the great agricultural
and manufacturing interests of the
middle west and the cities that lie
along the great Missouri riv r have
before them the responsibility of
putting their communities in shape
to handle the problems of navigation
when it is placed up to then.
The navigation program will mean
a great deal to the communities of
Rulo, Nebraska City, Plattsmouth,
Blair, Omaha and Sioux City which
are in the section of the upper Mis
souri river improvement program
and where it is expected that the
next three years will bring a reali
zation of the plans to make the pos
sibilities of the river navigation
realiled.
A number of the towns along the
river are already getting in step
with the movement by organizing
to have the proper terminals pro
vided, storage spaces and other nec
essities that will be required when
the river is opened to travel by barg?
and boat at all seasons of the year.
Plattsmouth and its chamber of
commerce should be looking forward
to this program of advancement and
be ready when the river navigation
program is put into effect so that
this city may come into its own as
a shipping and receiving point for
the south and central sections of
Nebraska and for our neighboring
communities in western Iowa that
will be able to take the fullest ad
vantage of the great movement thf
is to mean so much to the west and
the realization of the hopes of the
waterway boosters in the years pa;t.
DEATH OF HAROLD STANDEE
Again Mr. and Mrs. Henry Standor
of South Bend have been called upon
to mourn the loss of a son. This time
it is their eighteen year old son,
Harold, who died Tuesday afternoon
at the Methodist hospital in Omaha.
He was afflicted last week with a
carbuncle on the back of his head
and on Thursday was so ill that he
took to his bed. He gradually grew
worse and was taken to the Metho
dist hospital at Omaha Monday. Tius
day noon he was operated upon but
the poison had gone through IiLs
system to such an extent that he
lived but a short time afterward.
Harold was a senior in the high
school at Louisville. He was a bright
boy and a general favorite among
his s'-hooimates and associate?.
The sympathy of their friend:-; and
neighbors goes out to Mr. and Mrs.
Slander and their family in their sad
!os:-s.

And Every Good Wish for the New Year
The yuletide season reminds us that our lives are built to a very great ex
tent as we choose to have them built. The raw material lies before us and we
can select the faulty and bad or we may, with a little more effort and care, erect
for ourselves characters which will be strong in time of misfortune and give sat
isfaction through every season of the year.
We have made it our purpose to build up our business as a man builds his
character by means of honest, conscientious service, fair dealing and rigid ad
herence to high standards of business ethics.
We greatly appreciate the good-will of our many friends; and now that
it is Christmas time again we are wishing for you one and all the gladest joys of
the season and the brightest prospects for the New Year.
Accept, if you please, our sincere thanks for the privilege of having
served you during the past year.
