Look Over Private Burying Plot
in South Part of City.
Monday Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Bill

were in the city to look after the
preservation of the Billings cemetery
on Pershing avenue in the south part
of the city.
This cemetery which contains the
last resting places of some eight of
the Billings family, was started in
the late sixties and the early seven
ties by Spenser S. Billings, a pioneer
of this community.

WRECKERS PROVE NAME
The Nebraska City "Wreckers Sun
day afternoon proceeded to wreck
the Merchants of this city in their
engagement in the southeastern Ne
braska baseball league schedule.
The Wreckers won by the "Store of
24 to 11, massing an early lead when
they hit Streets hard in the second
frame to take a lead that they main
tained throughout. The locals had
many shifts in their lineup in an ef
fort to hit a clicking combination.
Chrisman of Nebraska City was the
chief hitter with six bingles out of
seven times at the plate and brought
in five runs. Svoboda and Kriskey
were the chief hitters of the locals.
The box score of the game was as
follows:

present city, taking a homestead
there and which formed the means of
a very extensive real estate building
program.
As was the custom in the early
days, a small section of the holdings
was set aside as a private burial plot
and where today rests the founder
of the estate and his wife as well as
several children that rassed away in
the early years.
Mr. Billings after securing the
homestead built a large number of
small residence properties in that sec
tion . of the city and which were
familiar to the older residents as
"Billingstown" and here many resi
dents made their homes in the late
seventies and the eighties.
A part of the homestead is now
embraced in the grounds of the Bur
lington and which for years were
used in the shop yards and is still
the property of the railroad.
Spenser Billings, the founder of
the family estate here, passed away
in 1S91 and since which time the
holdings have passed into other
hands and the identification of the
family with that part of the city
has been lost.
The relatives were brought here by
the report that they had received
that it was proposed to have the
bodies taken from the old resting
places in the private cemetery and
which they do not wish.
