Obituary.
George John Merkle was born
December 10, 1&49, at Bissingen,
Kirchheim an der Tek, Wurtenberg.
Germany, and departed this temporal
lif- at Murdock, Nebraska, Monday
May 2;, l'Oo. at the ripe age cf SO
I years 5 months and 1C days. His
I "r.d came somewhat suddenly and
i unexpected. The cause of his death
a
Can
Oil Co
was old age and an acute heart at
tack. In his youth, the deceased attend
ed the public school of his native
land, and at the tender age of four
teen was confirmed in the Christian
faith of the State Church of Ger
many. After his school days, he
learned the trade of a stone cutter
and stone carver.
On Oct. 7. 1S73, the departed was
united in holy wedlock to Miss Lou
ise Fulmer, his now sorrowing com
panion. This uniou was biassed with
5 sons and 3 daughters, of which
five sons and one daughter preceded
the father to tbje great beyond.
In the month of May, IS So, he with
his family immigrated to America
and bade farewell to the short of
their native land, settling on a home
stead near Huntley, Harlan county,
Nebraska, where the deceaiied made
his home until 1919 when he with
the family moved to Murdock. Ne
braska. While on the homestead, the
family endured many hardships of
the early pioneer days and in order
to provide for his loved ones, sought
employment elsewhere and for sev
eral years worked on the former state
capitol at Lincoln, Nebraska, where
he did the fancy carving and decora
tion work on the external pillars and
which work stood as monument of his
dexterity and skill until the build
ing was removed several years ago
and to give place for the new struc
ture. Each child has in its posses
sion a remembrance of the father,
a match-box made from soft, grey
rock in the form of a tree-stump.
The departed was soundly convert
ed in the month of October of 1SSS
in the Cannonville school house near
Huntley, Nebraska, under the labors
of Iter. G. Streicher who was one of
the early, pioneer, Evangelical min
isters in that community. He joined
the Evangelical church and became
very useful member to his congrega
tion, lie was elected and served
many years as class leader, assistant
class leader, vice superintendent of
the Bible school, choir director and
for many years was a faithful Sun
day school teacher. Ke was a"l?o
elected to serve for some years as
trustee of his church and congrega
tion. The deceased was an ardent
and deep student of God's word and
was gifted with rare talents to be
able to see hidden truths in the
Eible. He was known to be close ob
server cf God's word and aways en
deavored to apply the sime to his
daily life. Hi3 family was reared
at an altar of prayer and his pur
pose and hope to was to rear hi.;
children for God and the church.
The deceased was a kind, loving pro
viding father, an assisting neighbor,
and a real friend to the one in need.
In the year of 1919, the deceased
on account of age and failing health
retired from active work and locat
ed at Murdock, Nebraska, which was
his home until his demise.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his
dear companion and wife, three
daughters, Mrs. Henry Koe lling. Ord

Murdock Evangelical church on Wed
nesday, May 2S. conducted by hi?

The Pilgrims had a fine day last
Sunday. The day being ideal, we
sallied forth and landed in Green
wood, attended the M. E. Sunday
school. They have the largest men's
class of any Sunday school we have
visited. Then a Memorial service at
the First Christian church, which
was a union service.
In the evening, we again joined
in a Memorial service at Elmwood,
which was largely attended by the
three Protestant churches. This was
a blessed day, spent in worship and
praise.
Some Mountains of the Bible
X OLIVET
Acts 1:12. This mountain is of
special interest to the Bible student
and the followers of Christ. Its loca
tion is directly east of Jerusalem; a
ridge of hills about one mile long,
from north to south, and 200 feet
higher than Mount Zion, the temple
hill. The brook of Kidron runs be
tween Mount Olivet and the city.
In his triumphant entry into Je
rusalem on Palm Sunday, Jesus
started from the top of Mt. Olivet,
descending on his way over the
brook of Kidron into the city. It was
on the third day of passion week,
late in the afternoon, after Jesua
had taught all day in the temple, on
his way back to Bethany, as he as
cended the Mount of Olives, that one
of his disciples called Jesus atten
tion to the magnificence of the tem
ple, that Jesus pronounced his last
public message against the .leaders
of the Jews. (Here, dear reader,
take your Bible and read Math. 23),
resounding with "Woes" that would
befall them who would persist in
their evil ways and not accept Jesus
as their savior.
Jesus stopped on his way, looking
back and seeing the city with its
teeming thousands of people, his
eyes filled with tears and with a
choking voice, because of the emo
tions that surged through his soul,
he cried out: "O, Jerusalem, Jerusal
em, thou that killest the proprets
and stonest them which are sent un
to thee; how often would I have
gathered thy children together as a
hen gathers her chickens under her
wings, and ye would not. Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate."
Olivet was very significant to the
Jews, but the followers of the Christ
find it of more interest and joy, be
cause it was from this Mount that
their risen and glorified Lord took
his homeward flight.
Forty days after his resurrection,
Jesus met his disciples for the last
time. After giving them final in
structions regarding his kingdom,
pledging them his abiding presence
and assuring them that the Holy
Spirit would carry on the work
through them, which he had begun,
he led the little hand over the same
road that they had so often trod,
unto the Mount of Olives, near
Bethany, where he had so often
found a place of rest, hospitality and
comfort, and while speaking, he rais
ed his hands in a final blessing and
benediction, and rising up, he as
cended into heaven.
The last impression the disciples
had of their departed Lord, in the
attitude of blessing them a very
blessed and beautiful scene.
Behold, the rising Lord!

Deputy Sheriff Rex Young and

C0VERED WAGON CENTENNIAL
BEINGS RICH MEMORIES
To commemorate the lives and
deeds of the heroic pioneers who won
and held the West, establishing
American civilization across the con
tinent, President Hoover has pro
claimed the celebration of a Covered
Wagon Centennial. April 10, 1930,
marks the start of the first wagon
train over the Old Oregon Trail. A
hundred years ago the pioneers be
gan leaving their eastern homes to
trek across the continent, seeking
new homes in the west.
So much has been accomplished in
this century of settlement. Nebraska
is now a state sixty-three years old
and pays due homage to the old trail
that brought so many of its settlers.
Along the trail, which enters Nebras
ka at the southeast corner of Jeffer
son county, some sixty-five markers
have been along the Little Blue four
miles north of Hebron, near which
is erected a stone marker. It follow
ed along to the southwest of Hast
ings, north of Kenesaw and on to
Fort Kearney. The site of this fort
has recently been taken over by the
state to be made into a park.
Some of the hardest fighting with
the Indians took place at Plum Creek.

Fiy Not the
Cause of AO
Wheat Trouble
Other Factors Kake Thin Crop Sec
ond Brood Hessian Fly May
Cause Mere Damage.
Reports on the Hessian fly situ
ation from all counties east of Web
ster, Adams and Hall counties indi
cate a general infestation thruout
this part of Nebraska, says the state
and federal division of agricultural
statistics. Reports on the extent oi
the injury vary considerably. Hail
of the correspondents said that some
fields were plowed up. Not all the
unsatisfactory condition is due to
Hessian fly.
Winter wheat in this section is not
looking as well as it did earlier in the
season. Much of it is thin and lacks
vitality. This unsatisfactory condi
tion cannot all be attributed to the
Hessian fly. There is seldom a year
that part of the fields do not show
up as well as others. This may often
be accounted for by the soil condi
tion. It may be due to continuous
cropping, lack of rotation, need of
fertilizer, packed condition of the
soil due to heavy rains, etc. Hessian
fly is present to such an extent that
it is essential to put proper control
methods in effect this summer and
fall. This means keeping down vol
unteer wheat, early plowing and
working of the soil to get it into
shape for seeding after the fly free
day next fall.
The second brood of Hessian fly
I will soon emerge from the present
"flaxseed" stage. Under favorable
conditions, the second brood can still
do considerable injury to wheat. The
present injury consists of a weaken
ed condition of the plant, thinning
out due to the undeveloped stools
which were killed outright and in
jury to some of the stool that are not
headed out. To plow up or not to
plow up that is the question both
ering some farmers at present. Ex
cept possibly for extreme injury, it
is rather difficult to give definite ad
vice, but it appears most of the ques
tionable fields should be left. Un
less the second brood of Hessian fly
does more injury than expected,
farmers may fare better by leaving
their wheat for harvest.
The situation will afford a good
opportunity for those who wish to re
duce wheat acreage to begin this fall.
Corn and barley offer a good sub
stitute for wheat in eastern Nebras
ka. The practice of seeding sweet
clover with barley is a good one in
that some real improvement to the
soil is obtained by such a rotation.
In any event, it is essential to keep
the" volunteer wheat down this sum
mer and to keep the soil for fall seed
ing in fine shape so that it will be in
shape to offset tha later start of
wheat this fall.

milestone for the great procession.
Ash Hollow, across the river and east
from Lewellen, holds historical mem
ories, too. As one approaches from
the north there is, cn the right in
the little cemetery, the grave of
Rachel Patterson, a '49'er, whose or

a beautiful Oregon Trail marker.
A branch of the trail went along
the north side of the river, passed
Court House and Jail Rocks, south
of Bridgeport, where it joined the
trail made by those who had gone by
way of Ash Hollow. Picturesque
Chimney Rock, so famous in trail
days, is just south of Bayard. These
great landmarks could be seen for
days en route, for it must be remem
bered that Oregon Trail caravans
moved only about a dozen miles a
day. Scotts Bluif was the next great
landmark and the old trail here made

so many thousands of wheels cut the
gulc h so deep that only the bare tops
of the wagons might be seen by an
observer a short distance away. It
was at this point that the path left

early days was Ezra Meeker who

traced his steps along the trail with
an ox-team, telling again the story
of its romance and tragedy. He made
still other trips along the trail by
ox-team, automobile and airplane,
and urged the present generation to
recognize the historical significance
of the old trail, as well as erecting
markers himself along the way. His
picture is shown above in front of
Chimney Rock, taken on his return
trip in 1906.
20,000 men, women and children
lost their lives along this trail, but
only one marked grave has been
found. This is the grave of Rebecca
Winters at Scottsbluffj It was mark
ed with her name and the date, 1852,
on a wagon tire where it remains to
this day. In 1S9 9 when a party of
engineers were laying out the road
bed for the railroad, they retraced
their steps for over a mile in order
not to have the road cross the grave.
The picture is shown above as the
grave has been marked off along side
of the tracks.
So one can follow the trail across
Nebraska, entering from the south
east, along the Platte river and out
of the state near Scottsbluff. Today
highways connect all parts of the
state with the old trail along which,
are the historical markers, which,
may be viewed along the road from
comfortable touring cars.
