Sketch of Life
of former Louis
ville Woman
Mrs. Mathew Inhelder of Pierce Made
Her Horie for Several Years in
Louisville and Vicinity.
Mrs. Mathew Inhelder passed away
last Sunday afternoon. May 31, at 5
o'clock, at her home in Pierce, fol
lowing a prolonged illness. She had
been bedfast for two weeks past. A
daughter, Mrs. II. M. Holbert, of
Lawrence, Kansas, and other rela
tives had cared for her during that
time. Mrs. Inhelder had been a resi
dent of Pierce since 1892.
Augusta Schmidt was born in Ger
many on August 4th, 1S60, and would
have been 7G years of age had she
lived until next August. At the age
of 16 years she came to the United
States with her sister, Theresa and
her brother, Herman. They located
at Louisville, Nebr., where a sister,
Mrs. Chris Miller, lived. For several
years she worked in Omaha. On April
2S, 1S91, she was united in mar
riage to Mathew Inhelder at Louis
ville. They lived at Fremont, Nebras
ka, where Mr. Inhelder served as a
minister and as presiding elder of the
German Evangelical churches of the
Fremont district. In March, 1S92,
they moved to Pierce, where Mr. In
helder engaged in the hardware
business and later as a banker.
Surviving are the hus'oand and
three children: B. J. Inhelder, of
Foster, Nebr., Mrs. H. M. Holbert, of
Lawrence. Kansas, and M. M. In
helder, of Lincoln; four step-chil
dren, Mrs. A. L. Brande and L. G
Inhelder, of Pierce, Mrs. Louise Cress
ler, of Churdan, Iowa, and Mrs
Emma (Berg) Powers, of Pasadena,
California; also seven grandchildren
and her brother, Herman Schmidt, of
Murdock, Nebr.
Quiet and unassuming, certain
characteristics stand out in the life
of the deceased, especially to those
who knew her during the forty-four
years that she lived in this commun
ity. Of a domestic nature, she was
devoted to her home duties, to her
family and the circle of warm friends
who knew her intimately4 She was
generous of heart and gave freely,
though unostentatiously, to the work
of the church and things helpful and
worthy. Her sincerity was natural,
her heart and life an open book; she
spoke ill of no one, her friendship,
in her huble quiet way, was constant
and lasting. In the sunset of life,
when beset by physical weakness and
sore affliction, her loyalty, her love
and her faith in the eternal verities
remained unshaken and unwavering
No fear entered the heart of this
truly "Mother in Israel." Surely she
could say as the shadows fell and
the end of life drew near:
My life will be measured by what
I mete,
And I earn my own reward,
So the love I give makes my heart
complete,
In thought of His blest award,
For whether I dwell in the house by
the road
Or far from the haunts of men
If mother's love makes bright the
abode,
No fear shall enter then.

Recreational
and Cultural Pro
jects Planned
Local Committee Keels to Start Or
ganization to Secure Projects for
County from Government.
The first steps to secure advan
tages of many recreational and cul
tural projects that are available un
der the WPA, was started Friday af
ternoon in a meeting of the local
committee that will aid in planning
many of these.
The committee is composed of John
P. Sattler, Chamber of Commerce;
A. II. Duxbury, American Legion;
Fred H. Sharpnack. Plattsmouth Ad
club; Rev. G. A. Tahl, Garden club;
L. S. Devoe, superintendent of
schools; Mrs. L. W. Egenberger,
Plattsmouth Woman's club.
The project is one that will make
possible the securing of playgrounds
as one of the benefits, they to be pre
pared by labor from the WPA and to
have supervisors also selected from
the WPA and who will have charge
of the grounds and the activities of
those who may use the grounds. An
other of the projects that is possible
is that of a community band which
can also be secured through the
agency of the WPA as well as com
munity choruses, instructors being
arranged for under the medium of
the relief act. The encouragement of
the manual arts is also one of the
things that is encouraged under the
provisions of the general plan of
community aid.
The projects suggested are all to
be operated under the WPA and the
supervisors to be taken from their
ranks and affording aid to those who
need it and also to give some real
beneficial results to the communities
in which they are located.
The local committee at their meet
ing made the recommendation to
Neal McDonald of Hastings, state
head of this program, of the appoint
ment of Robert G. Reed of this city
as the county chairman for the new
recreational program for Cass coun
ty.
