Z. W. SHRADER.
NEHAWKA PIONEER
Zaebariah W. Shrader was born
December 26. 1849. in Tazwell coun
ty. Virginia, and passed away at his
home in Xehawka, Sunday evening.
December 14th at S:35. at the age
of 81 years. 11 months and 16 days.
"Unt ie Zack" as he was more fa
miliarly known, suffered a paralytic
stroke Thanksgiving Day from which
he was unable to recover. All that
was humanly possible was done for
him and he fought a strong unsuc
cessful battle against fate. He de
veloped pneumonia about a week pre
ceding his death, and while he recov
ered from this, his condition was so
wakened that death soon followed
During his illness he was
by his daughter. Mrs. R.
wisser and other relatives.
Mr. Shrader remained a
cared for
H. Chris
native of
Virginia until twenty years of age
when he turned his steps westward
toward the young state of Nebraska.
In this venture he was accompanied
by his brothers. George and Joseph.
After arriving in Cass county he was
employed for a time as a farm hand
and a few years later bought a farm
of his own. He accumulated a good
farming acreage north and west of
Nehawka, where he and his family
spent a great part of their life.
About fifteen years ago he and his
wife moved to Xehawka where they
have Bines made their home.
On February 2. 1871. he was unit-
! mi marriage to Miss Rachel Hur
ra and to this union was born eight
children, four of whom have preceded
their father in death, namely. Bditb,
Jonathan. Robert M., and Josephine.
Besides his wife he is survived by
two daughter and two sons: Mrs.
R. H. Chriswisser. and Troy Z.
Sh ader, Xehawka; Roy W.. of Les
ley. Saskatchewan. Canada, and Mrs.
Grace Shrader. Elizabeth City. Xorth
Carolina. He is also survived by
t welve grand children and seven
great grand children besides a great
many nephews, nieces and other relative-!,
to say nothing of a host of
friends. He was from a family of
eleven children, all of whom have
passed to the Great Beyond with the
exception of one aged sister. Mrs.
Christina H lbrook of Virginia.
Mr. Shrader was a member of the
Xehawka United Hrethren church
and was a regular attendant at all
church services. That he died in
peace and now rests in the "Great
Beyond" is unquestionable.
After the arrival of his son Roy
his daughter. Mis. Chrtswisser asked
him if he knew Brother Roy. "You
bet I do." he replied. Later he call
ed tor Buy, took his son's hand and
Baid: "Hey is the best boy in the
world. Roy, we will all go to Heav
en." Roy answered his father in the
affirmative and his father continued
"I see Jesus. I see Edith." When
asked if he saw Josie, he strained
his eyes, a smile crossed his face and
he replied, "I see Josie and there is
brother Joe and father." Asked if
be wished to be turned over he re
plied: "No. I would rather see Je
sus. Jesus Christ is a good man
Christ was crucified." And in this
manner one of Xehawka s well known
and respected citizens left us to re
joice in a Better Land. Contributed.

Hedwlg, as her mother
proceeded to light it and
pass it to her daughter.
"Put it right here in the
window, ami then I will tell you a
story."' replied her mother.
Hedwlg climbed into her mother's
lap and the story began : "This is a
legend that people have loved f.,r
many, many years. It is thought that
on Christmas eve the Christ Child
returns to earth in search of hind
and deserving people. He wanders
over hill and dale, from castle to hut.
And people who think Of this beau
tiful legend still do US they did in
other days. They rrface lighted can
dles in their windows that he may
see the way and not Stumble and
fall. Sometimes he doe? not Ind peo
ple who will open their hearts and
doors for him; sometimes he finds the
way dark and full of pitfalls; hut on
and on he goes searching for loving
people. So every Christmas eve we
place our lighted candle in our win
dow so that if he comes this way he
will not find it dar'c."
"I am glad we have a candle burn
ing.'' said Hedwig. "Perhaps it will
light the way for others, too. Do all
Utile Austrian girls and hoys light
their canr.les on Christmas eve?"

they do it in other parts of the world,

It was a beautiful, warm day and

"No, ehild," his mother answered.
"First we must go to the service.
That is more important than the flor

Ja-kn took his mother's hand and
together they went to the church. H

it was Christmas, the service would
be more beautiful than ever.
After this early service was over.
Jacko'6 mother said, "Now you may
