REED Fweral at the Presbyterian Church Uader the Auspices of the I. 0. 0. F. One of the Largest Evor Hold In Loup City. The body of T. M. Reed arrived last Friday evening from Brock, Ind., accompanied by the bereaved wife, son and daughter, and brother of de ceased, P. O. Reed. The mourning party were met at the B. A M. depot by the members of the subordinate, encampment and Canton branches of the Odd Fellow lodge of this city, of which deceased was an honored mem ber and accompanied to the home, where the loved form lay until the funeral, which occured from the First Presbyterian church, Sunday afternoon, following, March 3rd. Preceding the funeral hour, the brothers of the Odd Fellows and sisters of the Rebakah lodge met at their hail and from there went to the house as an escort to their honored brother to the church, where the funeral cer emonies occurred at the hour of 2 o cioct. as me hour approached for the last rites to deceased, the church began to till rapidly and long before the funeral party arrived the building, save the portion reserved for them, was filled and all standing room taken, while many were unable to secure entrance within. An excel lent choir dispersed sweet sacred mu-, sk and a short sermon was given by the pastor. Rev. Tourtellot, following which the Odd Fellows, through their actingnobie g.and, J. W. Conger, and chaplain, R. D. Hendrickson, gave short funeral rites usually given at the cemetery: but which, owing to the severe weather were given at the church. The body was then placed in Uie vestibule of the building where ail could look for the last time on the face of their brother, friend and business associate, and then the pro cession wended its way to the came terv w here the body was laid to rest. Very fsw, if any, men have lived in any community, who have aseared and lie Id the esteem and friendship that were accorded the man who has so recently passed into the Great Beyond. Having been in business lie re for over 24 years, and a citizen of Loup City for 29 years, we have yet to hear of one man who lias aught to say harmful of him. Strictly at tentive to business, retiring in dis position. pleasant in his relations to ail, Ite won and held the highest re gard of business associates and friends in all walks of life. For several years he lias held official relations with the State Implement Dealers' Associa tion. and a director in said associa tion for as long a time as he would accept of the honor. He had for the past 25 years been a member of the 1’resbrterian branch of the orthodox faith, an earnest attendant on divine service and close listener of the word. Notiiing too good can be said of our late lamented brother and friend. He liad the happy faculty of making friends, with his equable temperment capable of retaining them all, a thing most unusual with humanity. Dur ing tiie eight years we have been in Loup City, we have been closely con nected with him in business relations and by tiie ties of friendship, and at no moment have we ever found him at cross purposes or otherwise than a splendid man in every sense, and his death comes as a distinct blow to us as well. Tliomas Martin Reed was born in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, in the year 1951. on the 7th day of April, being at time of death, 51 years, 11 mcntiis and 20 days old. When at the age of 9 yean, he moved with his parents to Newton county, Indiana, residing there 12 years. When he reached ills majority, 21 years of age on A pril 7. 1888. he came to Sherman county. In the fall of the same year lie was united in marriage to Miss Hattie Van Dorn, soon afterward en gaging in the implement business, which lie continued up to the time of his death, and up to within a few weeks of his demise remained in ac tive command, only relinquishing it for a season to take a vacation in liopes of benefiting his health. Five children were bom to this union, namely: Arthur, aged 22 years: Mrs. Atnsley Davis, agsd 21: Zelpha, aged 19: Ralph, aged 16; and Leda, aged 13 years. HU death occurred at the borne of hU mother at Brock, Ind., Tuesday, Feb. 27th, 1912. Besides bis familv he leaves a mother and five brothers. Perry, Walter, Freeman Lincoln and Charley, and one sister, Mrs. Paul Weishaar. CARO OS THANKS We return our heartfelt thanks to all friends for their aid, sympathy and kindnees in the low of our loving husband, father and brother. May kind Providence ever blew them. Mss. Haiti* Rssp and FArray, W. P. Rbkd and Fanilt, P.O. Bbbd. 50TH BIRTHDAY Mrs. Viola Odondahl, With a Largo Company of Frionds, Colobrato That Evontful Poriod in Hor Life’s History Last Friday evening, the tine home of Mrs. Viola Odendahl was the scene of merriment and good will and bringing together of old acquaintan ces, the event being the fiftieth birthday anniversary of the genial h os test. A rare co-incident to such an occasion was the fact that two of the guests namely, Mrs. J. H. Froehlich and Mr. A. L. Zimmerman were also the age of the lady of the house, their birthdays coming on the same day of the same year. The reception hall and adjoining rooms were tastily decorated in red and white roses, red carnations and Easter llllies, making a beautiful scene to the eye of the beholder. Upon entering, and after remov ing wraps, the guests wore served with punch, at the hands of Miss By ers who presided at the bowl. Entering the beautifully appointed rooms, introductions were given, old acquaintances were renewed, and an hour passed in pleasant reminiscences and all were made to feel at home in the assembled company. as me nour or eignt o ciock ap proached, all repaired to the banquet hall, led by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Oden dahl and Mrs. Viola Odendahl and daughter, Miss Ernestine Odendahl, followed by Mr. and Mrs. William Odendahl, Mrs. C. H. Brown of Ba tavia. Ills., Mrs. Julius Froehlich and Mr. W. G. Odendahl. The color scheme carried out in the hall was pink and white, the tables being prettily decorated with pink carnations and smilax set off with fifty white candles, each set in pink cap, a large birthday cake surmoun ted with fifty small pink candles, having the poet of honor in front of the hostess, who at the proper mo ment lighted tho candles and later cut the cake so that each guest was j furnished a dainty bit as a souvenir! of the occasion. At the close of the elaborate repast j our esteemed townsman and orator: Mr. John W. Long, as toastmaster, arose and in his splendid manner did justice to the occasion, which brought the company together, speaking of the early days of Loup City and gave justice to those who had weathered tlie-storms and difficulties of pioneer days, and gave full credit to the genial hostess who coming here a mere girl with her parents, had wit nessed the past and had been one of those to whom honor should be given as one of the few who were here of the great number who had come and gone, and who remained to help fur ther upbuild and make of Loup City what it is bound to be, one of the great towns of Central Nebraska, closing his remarks by calling all to respond to a toast given the hostess, each rising in place and responding with pleasure. Toastmaster Long then called upon Hon. John N. Dryden of Kearney, who years ago was a resident of this city and one of the pioneers of early day, who with reminiscences and an ecdotes and a wonderfull fund of mother wit, kept the company con vulsed with merriment as he pro ceeded. Miss Byers was then called upon and gave several choice readings. M usic for the occasion was furnished by an elegant grafonola, by the kind ness of Messrs. Swanson & Lofholm from their music department, and was one of the most enjoyable of the mi nor events of the evening. At the conclusion of the banquet toasts and readings, the guests repair ed to the parlors, where the remain der of the evening was passed in pleas ant converse, when each guestdepart ed, showering congratulations upon the hostess over passing another mile post on the evenuful road of life, and , wishing her many returns of the day. The out of town guests were: Mr and Mrs. Will Clifton, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Inks, and John N. Drydenall of Kearney: Miss Delight Byers of Ken nerd, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs Perry, late of Cambridg, Neb., and Mr. and Mrs Wm. Odendahl of Comstock, Neb. There were sixty-five guests present. A number of letters were received by the hostess from absent friends, who sent regrets at not being able to be present, and these came from va rious portions of the country. And so passes one of the biggest social events of our city* and much credit is reflected upon the hostess, Mrs. Viola Odendahl, over the pro nounced success of the anniversary evening. Our friend W. T. Gibson has hand ed us a copy of the Ulster County Gazette, printed in Ulster county, New York, under date of Jan. 4. 1800, containing a report of Washington’s death and burial and other news of that date. The paper has been in the posesslon of Mr.Gibson some 3 years and bears all the marks of the age It represents. Whether it Is really a copy of a paper printed at that time, or merely a copy gotten out in later years, as baa been soofton done, it la really a curiosity—genuine or fraudulent. 6000 LETTERS FROM READERS Distant Readers Send Greetings and News Budgets. Mead Likes Nevada From Fallon, Nevada, under a late February date, comes a good letter from our Rood friend. M. H. Mead, and will undoubtedly be of interest coming from Friend Mead and from the practically unknown country to our people between the Rockies and Sierres. He says: “We rely on the Northwestern to keep us posted upon Loup City and its happenings, and would be lost without its weekly visits. Every thing is going well with us in Nevada and much as we think of Nebraska, we would hardly consider going back there to live. Our country is grow ing slowly, but surely. A sugar beet factory, costing one and a half mil lions, was built in Fallen last year, and the reclamation service are putting in the big Carson dam that will cost three millions of dollars when com pleted. Work has been eoing on there for a year now and it will take another year to finish it. Before the project is completed, two more stor age reservoirs are to be built. Fal lon is growing quite rapidly, new buildings going up and the city is now putting in first-class water and sewage plants. We have had almo6t no cold weather and it sounds pretty chilly to read of the temperature east of the Rockies. With best wishes." etc. Stormy Old Iowa Our young friend, J. II. Petersen, writes newsily f 10m his home at Teeds Grove in Iowa: “I can't get along without the Northwestern, and am always wait ing for Saturday’s mail to coma, as that is the day I get the paper. We are certainly having a blizzard here today (Feb. 26). It started last even ing and is going at full blast yet, at 11 o'clock a in. It snowed a good deal in the night and the high winds took it in drifts, so in some places the fences are hidden and the roads blocked in all directions. As the wind changed to the north this morn ing, after it blew from the east all night, the main trains are ali the way from tive to six hours late. 1 am now working in the bank here and have been since last summer, and I think of Loup City quite frequently but the pap r keeps me posted on all the news out there.” Robbery at Rockville Pod Hall Robbed and Culprit Caught at Ravenna Returns Money and Case Settled Last Saturday night the pool hall at Rockville was robbed of some forty or fifty dollars, by a resident of that village, who was later caught at Ra venna Sunday and returned to Rock ville and on confession and returning most of the money the case was set tled out of court. While we are in possession of the name of the culprit, we withhold the same, giving only the barest details, for the several reasons that the parties robbed saw fit to settle the matter, that the man confessed his deed, and mostly because we understand the man has a wife and several children, upon whom sucli a blow falls hardest. It is probably because of the family: also that the man was not visited upon with a full measure of punishment for his act. Swanson Re-Arrested Sheriff Wilson was in town Tuesday and served warrant on C. L. Swanson upon information issued from the County Attorney’s office at Broken Bow, charging him with rape, alleged to have been committed upon Marie Finley last December. This is the same charge upon which Swanson was arrested last December. Owing to illness of Mr. Leach, before whom he was brought for preliminary examina tion, it was put off from time to time and finally upon instructions of the county attorney the case was dismiss ed. The reasons given for dismislng the case was that the papers were not absolutely correct. Swanson was taken to Broken Bow and * be fore the County court for examina tion. -Sargent Leader.
