OBITUARIES
Death of A. H. Hansel
Word was received here last Satur
day that Mr. A. H. Hansel, who was
lying very ill at the home of his
brother-in-law, J. T. Hale, in Ogden,
Utah, had died at six o'clock that
morning, and that his body would ar
rive here the following Monday eve
ning for burial. Mr. Hansel some
waeks ago left for the mountains in
quest of health, he having been suf
fering from throat trouble for a long
period, and so serious had it become
that he had nearly lost his power of
speech. By the time he had reached
Denver his condition had become se
rious and he was hurried on to Ogden
to the home of his sister. Later
word came that he was improving,
but that he would be obliged to re
main where he was for possibly six
months. About two weeks since, Mrs.
Hansel hurried to his bedside and
was with him to the last. The body,
accompanied by the wife and Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Hale, the latter being a
sister and only surviving member of
his father's family, arrived via the
U. P. motor on Monday evening, as
above announced, and was met at the
depot by a body of the A. Jp. & A.M.,
of which Mr. Hansel was an honored
member for many years, and was
escorted to the home north of the city.
The funeral occurred from the Pres
byterian church Tuesday afternoon
at 2 o’clock, Bishop Beecher of the
Episcopal church, of which deceased
was a communicant, preaching the

the loved form was laid to rest in
Evergreen cemetery, with the solemn
and impressive Masonic rites.
Deceased was born at New Orleans.
La., April 19,1858, being at time of
death, 54 years. 3 months and l day.
He was married to Miss Minnie Wall

taken his first degree at Battle Creek
some 20 years ago, when the lodge
there was under dispensation, but
never succeeded in receiving their
charter. After coming to Loup City

John Lyman Pray
John Lyman Pray, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. Q. Pray, who has been ill for
so long a time, from a combination of
troubles, died Tuesday morning. July
23rd, 1912, at 6:30 o'clock, at the home
of his father a few miles northeast of
this city. He was born in this county
May 1st, 1886, being at the time of his
death 26 years, 2 months and 22 days
old. He was the oldest living son.
and leaves a young wife, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George Zeigler. his
father, mother, three brothers and
two sisters. Such is the short sketch
of a young man who was born and
reared in Sherman county, who led an
exemplarly life, and who leaves this
life with a whole community sincerely
mourning his untimely end. Some
few months since, he suffered an at
tack of appendicitis, undergoing an
operation for the same, and which for
a time was supposed to restore him to
his usual vigorous health. Later he
developed what was supposed at the
time to be cancer of the liver, but
which later was found to be abscesses
on the liver, for which he underwent
two operations. Since that time he
has lingered a severe sufferer, with
hope and despair alternately appeal
ing to the relatives, till on the date
above he sank rapidly. A couple of
hours before he breathed his last, he
awoke from a seeming sleep with
every faculty acute, called all to his
bedside, bid them affectionate fare
well, admonished them to right living
and to meet him in the Great Be
yond and soon fell peacefully to sleep.
He was, besides an exemplamary
young man, a humble follower of the
Christ and leaves that comfort to
those left behind. Deceased was an
honored member of the Modern Wood
men, in which he held a policy for
$3,000, members of which acted as pall
bearers. The Northwestern with an
entire community sympathizes with
his bereaved wife, and all connected
with him by the sacred ties of re
lationship.
The funeral of Baby Ziworski will
occur this afternoon at 1:30 from the,
M. E. church.
