Death of Mrs.

Native of New York Deceased Has
Been Resident of Nebraska and
Omaha for Many Years.
From Mfnday's Dally
The death of Mrs. Sarah M. Van
Sant. 78, occurred this morning at
the Methodist hospital at Omaha,
where she was taken a week ago to
undergo treatment for an illness of
some duration, her ill health cover
ing the past few years.
Mrs. Van Sant was born at Flat
hush, New York, on March 1, 1861,
and spent her younger years there,
later moving west to Nebraska and
for many years resided in Omaha
where Mr. Van Sant was engaged in
the commission business.

FUNERAL OF MRS VAN SANT
Frnm Wednesday's Dart
Funeral services for the late Mrs.
I. L. Van Sant. who made her home
at the Masonic Home and whd pass
ed away Monday morning at the
Methodist hospital in Omaha, were
held this afternoon at 2:30 at the
Brewer-Korisko chapel. Rev. B. J
Brinkema and Adah chapter No. 52,
Order of Eastern Star, had charge of
the services. Interment was made
in the Forest Lawn cemetery.
a number of very fine floats were In
the parade the same was cut short
by those unable to appear. This is
like the farmer who plants, plows
and cultivates his crops to find that
a lack of moisture, grasshoppers and
chinch bugs have ruined his other
wise fine prospects for a good corn
crop, and after he has expended his
time and money to xroIuoe It.
However, notwithstanding the dis
rouragement this year's. fair was a
success, and with the new building in
readiness for next year's fair. It
should be even more successful.
Wfather Unfavorable.
The hot. dry. windy weather dur
ing the county fair of 1939 will go
down in history as the worst ever
remembered by the oldest inhabi
tant. Each day was a battle with the
elements and man was almost beaten.
It was extremely hard for those who
had the brunt of the work to do, and
they are worthy of much praise for
the wonderful way in which they
carried on despite the unpleasant
weather conditions.
Many Attend University.
A large number of the young peo
ple of Weeping Water are to become
studr-nts of the University of Nebras
ka this year. Among those listed
for the state university from Weep
ing Water are Clint Wilkinson, jr.,
Conant Wiles, Dorothy Everett, Ar
thur Everett, Linville Frail, Marvin
Kivitt, Max Raines. Elbert Grosser,
Joseph Fitzgerald. Dora Janet Mar
shall.
Many at the Fair Friday
Everybody came to the fair on the
last day. Friday, regardless of the
weather. It was school children's
day also and all departments were
crowded with sightseers. Conces
sions were busy and everyone had a
good time. It was a record-breaking
crowd. The parade was smaller than
usual, owing to the extreme heat and
the-wind which tore the decorations
off the floats almost as quickly as
they were decorated. The intense
heat kept many out of the parade
also, but this is only one year and
next year is another, and we will
all look forward to the coming year.
There is something about a county
fair which thrills young and old.
We 190k forward to them all sum
mer and prepare exhibits. The sight
ot a blue ribbon brings joy to tha
heart, whether it be found on a jar
of peach pickles, a piece of needle
work, or on a fine horse, Se we all
return home vowing that we will
prepare many more exhibits next
year. The vow may never be ful
filled, but it is heartwarming while
it lasts.
One's education is never complete
unless they have attended a county
fair, and then not until they have
taken part by exhibiting and helping
in some way.
