was found the many delicious offer-
ngs of the culinary art, the while
party symbolic of the family asso
ciations being seated at the table.
Charles Leslie Wiles, the patriarch
of the party, who resides at Glen
wood, gave the benediction for the
dinner and the prayer was offered
by Rev. Charles A. Finch of Kirks
ville, Missouri.

bread and the close of the dinner

were heard from members of the
party, Rev. Charles A. Murray of
Alva, Oklahoma, Rev. George War
ner of Miami, Florida, Rev. Finch of
Kirksville, Missouri, and Thomas F.
Wiles of Omaha, speaking. The ad
dresses of the afternoon were along ;
the line of the appreciation of these
gatherings, the beautiful custom of
maintaining the family spirit among
all of those who had sprung from '
the same family and blood ties.
In the election of the officers the
present occupants of the various
positions were all named again so
splendidly had they -served in the
guidance of the family association, i
In the family record of the Wiles'
as given by Secretary Hall, there
were five marriages, ten deaths,
seventeen births, nine girls and eight
boys.
It was voted to have the reunion
in 1931 at Garfield park in this city

VIEW OF OLD TIMES
This date, August 30th, is the fif
tieth anniversary of the opening o
the Burlington railroad bridge at
this place which was made a most
notable occasion on jAugust 30th
1880, when the the locomotives test
ed the bridge out and the first train
rolled over the structure to mark a
new era in transportation for the
west and making it possible for pas
sengers to travel to thewestern term
inus of the Burlington line in the
western part of Nebraska without
the necessity of bein ferried over
the Missouri. j
In honor of the event the show
window at the C. E. Wescott's Sons
store has in interesting display o
view of the bridge during the con
struction and the completed bridge
a relief map of the city made by Her
man C. Schmidt in 1!80 and which
shows many of the more prominent
buildings over the city. There are
also on exhibition a directory of the
city for that year and a book of tar
iffs for river boats. One of the most
interesting views is that of the
steamer the "Vice-President" which
was used to transfer cars over for
the railroad prior to the erection of
the bridge and of which vessel Peter
Mann, father of George B. Mann of
this city, was the captain for many
yea rs.

Aged Man Dies
as a Result of
Auto Accident
Richard Wurl of Stanton, Wei
Known Here Succumbs to Com
plications After Injury
The message was received here
late Wednesday of the death of
Richard WurJ. of Stanton, Nebraska,
who passed away at the hospital at
Norfolk following an auto accident
that he sustained on last Friday
evening.
Mr. Wurl was a brother of Mrs
Augusta Martens of thi3 city and
uncle of Emil and B. G. Wurl and
Miss Amelia Martens of this city.
On the receipt of the announcement
of death Mr. E. A. Wurl left for
Norfolk and Miss Amelia Martens
this morning to be with the bereaved
relatives. Mrs. Martens and other
relatives of the family will go Fri
day to Stanton for the funeral.
Mr. Wurl who is nearing his
eighty-eighth birthday was injured
Friday evening when with an auto
party of two cars of relatives he
was returning home from a trip to
one of his large farms near Stantcn.
Mrs. Martens and daughter, Miss
Amelia, and son, Henry, were in one
car and preceded that in which Mr.
Wurl was riding and did not learn
for some time of the accident and
then hastened on to Norfolk where
the aged man was taken. He was
suffering a skull fracture and at the
time but little hope of his recovery
was held as pneumonia rapidly de
veloped and at his age, hope was
abandoned for his life.
The deceased was well known here
where he frequently visited at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Martens and
his brother, the late B. G. Wurl, Sr.,
he was unmarried and in the years
of his residence in Nebraska he has
acquired a great deal of land inter
ests in and near Norfolk and was
one of the most well to do residents
of Stanton. The last visits of Mr.
Wurl here were on the occasion of
the funeral of his niece, Mrs. Mary
Cline, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. B.
Wurl, Sr., a short time ago.
CROPS ARE EXCELLENT
Attorney W. A. Robertson who
with his family have been vacation
ing in Wyoming and Yellowstone
Park, states that the crop conditions
n Nebraska are much better than
nywhere they have visited. They
traveled through the entire state and
Mr. Robertson states that in Chase
county they found corn the best that
they saw on the long trip, stopping
a short time at Imperial and look
ing over the crop conditions there,
as many former residents of Cass
county are now located in that terri
tory and also in Perkins county. The
crops between the extreme west part
of the state and the eastern portion
were not so good but reaching this
part of Nebraska they found crops
that compared the best with the large
yields of Chase and the western coun
ties.
Mrs. Rosencrans
to Continue Her
Splendid Work
Local American Legion Auxiliary
Leader Re-Named as Rehabilita
tion Chairman of State
Mrs. Clayon A. Rosencrans of this
city, who has for the past year
served as the chairman of the re
habilitation work of the department
of Nebraska, American Legion Aux
iliary, has been notified by, the new
president of the state department
that she has been reappointed to
the position for another, year.
In this work which has to do
with the contact of the Auxiliary
with the sick and disabled members
of the American Legion and all serv
ice men in the hospitals In the coun
try who are residents of Nebraska,
Mrs. Rosencrans has been untiring
in her work and her able efforts have
resulted in bringing many comforts
and words of cheer to the service men
to whom the war Is not yet over and
who are suffering from the disabil
ities and sicknesses that their serv
ice brought on.
This line of work is the greatest
that the Legion and its auxiliary
carry on and both organizations have
placed this work first on their pro
gram, a sacred charge to the unfor
tunates of the war and which they
are constantly carrying on.
The many friends over the state
and those familiar with the work of
Mrs. Rosencrans are delighted that
she is to continue in this work and
it assures a definite and effective
handling of the relief work and at
tention to those who are most en
titled to it the sick and disabled
victims of war's wreckage.
