Wisconsin, and to this union were
born nine boys and four girls, three
boys and one girl dying in infancy.
His wife preceded him in death in
1933, and also one daughter, Mrs.
L.w Brown, with whom he was mak
ing his home.
He leaves to mourn his passing,
six sons, William, Wallace, Elmer,
JVek, Bert and pe Forest, all living
in the vicinity of Weeping Water;
two daughters. Mrs. Ella Cook and
Mrs. Jennie Dawson, both of Gandy,
.Nebraska, and one brother, 'James
r'hilpot, of Gandy. Thirty-one grand
children and forty-four great grand
cLildren, together with a host of
friends.
Mr. Philpot with bis wife and two
oldest sons, William and Wallace,
traveled from Illinois to Cass county,
Nebraska, in a covered wagon, in
xS72. and settled on a farm seven
miles northeast of Weeping Water.
During the passing of the years, he
acquired several farms in this coun
ty and a large ranch in Logan coun
ty, where he spent much of his time
tor a number of years.
He helped to organize the home
school district No. 80 in this county
and was a member of the school
board for several years. He took an
active interest in the welfare of the
First National Bank of Weeping
Wtter and ws the president of that
institution for several years. He was
one of the oldest of the pioneers left
in this comiuunity, and the oldest
member of Euclid Lodge No. 97, A.
F. & A. M. at the time of his death,
being a 32nd degree Mason.
The changes which have been
wrought in this country of ours
since Mr. Philpot's birth are almoBt
incomprehensible, and no one was
mere interested in those changes
ilan he. He liked to sit and talk
alout the difference between the
conditions during his childhood days
and was keenly alert to the changes
taking place during the passing of
thi- years.
During his lifetime he saw the
country grow from virgin prairie to
a land filled with transportation fa
cilities by land, air and water
which exceedf-d the highest dreams
of the pionesrs. Telephones, tele
grams and cablegrams circle the
globe, and from the prairies have
risen homes filled with luxurious
mechanical devices, and connected
by telephone, rural mail delivery,
radio and good highways. He liked
to talk about them. Since the death
of his wife and his daughter he
hP9 spent much time away from
Weeping Water with his daughters
at Gandy, but he was always de
lighted to got back 'home,, to visit
with his friends. On account of the
infirmities of age, during the past
year he has been confined to the
hospital most of the time and death
came as a relief to his suffering.
The funeral, which was in charge
of the Masonic lodge, was held at
the Congregational church In Weep
ing Water Sunday afternoon, July
16. Rev. G. S. Hunt preached the
funeral sermon. Victor Wallick sang
"They are Going Down the Valley,
One by One," accompanied by Miss
Katherine Ellis at the pipe organ.
Interment was made in Oakwood
cemetery, with six of his grandsons
acting as pallbearers.
Out of town relatives who attend
ed the funeral were Mr. and Mrs.
Adam Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Cook, Dwight Cook, James Philpot,
Mrs. Jennie Dawson and daughter
and Charles Dill, all of Gandy; Mr.
and Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Chittick and Mr. and Mrs.
