BOYS AT CAMP FUNSTON.
Camp Funston. Sept. !). 1917.
j Ijocal Board of Sherman County:
Loup City. Nebr.
Dear Sirs:—
We arrived here hungry, tired and
sleepy on the morning of the 7th at
6 a. m., just one hour late. To begin
with I will try and give you our ex
• periences as they oocured aft^r leaving
: Loup City. Incidentally I want to say
j that we were certainly very much
j pleased at the sendoff the local hand
J and the people of Loup City gave us
1 which according to comparison of
: notes with boys of adjoining counties
! was the biggest and the best and for
j which we boys want to express our
j sincerest thanks and will try to reeip
j l ocate in some way by upholding the
honor of our country in the trenches
of France
On our departure at Loup City we
met one man from Taylor who en
trained at Sargent. As we went along
we picked up men from almost every
county seat. We arrived at Lincoln a'
12:50 and immediately upon our arrival
were met at the station by officers
from the X. N. G. and marched to tlieii
headquarters. After registering we had
our dinner and then took in the state
fair, gratis. There we saw some very
interesting stunts pulled off by the
riaggenback and Wallace circus am
also some very interesting exhibits. At
ter supper we reported to headquart
I ers again and at S:30 heard a talk by
Governor Neville after which we began
our march to the station in double file
Our line of march was through a solid
mass of people and cars, the noise ol
which was deafening, it seemed they
tried to outdo the noise of the battle o.
Verdun. There was many a sad heart
and a moist eye amongst them After
our entrainment in chair cars in a
train with 13 coaches we departed from
Lincoln one hour late. After our arrival
at Camp Funston amidst a shower; the
captains handed in their mobilization
papers and then we were marched tc
a hath house for a hath and superficial
examination after which we wore givei
our mess kits and had our breakfast
Next we were assigned to our com
panies and regiments, our company
consisting of men from Valley. Sher
man. Merrick. Howartj. Holt, Garfield
Greeley, Wheeler and so far consists o'
men. We were then taken for physi
cal examination which was very thor
ough even taking our ‘•bertillion" anc
making note of any scars. We wert
then assigned some clothes, that, shoe:
etc.) and after undressing and redress
ing out in the open several times we
were taken to the mess hall for din
ner. After dinner we done some more
marching around and getting prepared
after which we were vaccinated foi
smallpox and inoculated with typhoid
serum 500 units. We then began to ge
our beds and cots together and aftei
supper we went to Junction City and
done a little shopping after which we
returned and went to bed on a cot with
no matress and only one blanket be
tween you and the springs and no pil
lows. We slept very eoinfortable that
night ? ? ? ? with our sore arms, no
UlHlUusa uiiu an wmmnvn ujrcu iiuc
atmosphere being very cold.)
Next morning we got up at 5:45 a. m
very much refreshed After usual rou
tine and breakfast we were told that
we would not be asked to do anything
very fatiguing on account of our pro
phyloxis so we just stayed in and
cleaned up our quarters.
Mr. Bauman and myself were both
asked to assist in the mess hall, the
work consisting of peeling potatoes
washing dishes and doing everything
that is done in an ordinary kitchen.
We boys are all feeling splendid, go
ing through examinations and vaccina
tions in tip top shape and also feeling
like we could handle a couple of Ger
mans apiece each day (we expect tc
increase the number later on) So far
I failed to describe the camp but it
is so large we haven’t seen 1-10 part of
it. It surely is a stupendous piece of
work, just one solid mass of buildings
about 2 or 3 miles long. It is perhaps
the largest in the U. S., counting ir.
Pt. Riley, it is the largest and capable
of accomodating about 75.000 to SO.OOf
meu. Our commander in chief is Majoi
General Woods, who we have already
seen several times, passing in a car
Most of the training officers so far art
front Pt. Riley training camp 1 believe
this will he all for the present, agair
thanking all concerned at the loca
boards office in getting us out in such
neat and efficient manner we beg tc
remain the boys from Sherman Coun

EMMA GERDES OUTHOUSE.
Emma Gerdes Outhouse, second
daughter of Albert B. and Mary Pra
ther Outhouse, was born in Loup
City, January 22, 1891, and died in
Evansville. Indiana, Thursday. Sept.
; fi. 1917.
She received her early education in
the Loup City schools, finishing with
high credit From here she attended
the University of Nebraska, graduating
in June. 1911 with Phi Beta Kappa
honors.
She accepted a position as principal
i of the high school ai Spencer, Neb.
, where she continued a successful
teacher and administrator for four
years. This position was tendered hei
for another year but she declined, that
she might be further fitted for hei
chosen calling in life.
She then attended the Slate Library
school of New York, in Albany of that
state, where she took a year of train
ing. after which she became assistant
cataloguer at Evansville. Ind., and
was then promoted to the position o
Supervisor of the West Side Library
Upon August 1. she was strickei
with the disease to which she finally
succumbed. All that the skill of medi
eal science could furnish and that
the power of love could bring, wer<
unavailing.. Death has conquered the
body, but the soul in its victorious re
lease has gone, "To be forever with
the Lord."
In 1904 she became a member ot
the Methodist Episcopal church in this
city, under the ministry of the Rever
end Mr. Cowell. Wherever she has
heen. in her active life, she has taker
a keen interest in the work of the
church.
Her outstanding qualities of good
fellowship, her loyalty to duty and hei
ever ready sympathy made her friends
to be numbered by those who knew
her.
She leaves behind the father anti
mother, four sisters and one brother
These, with other relatives, of otliei
states, will mourn their bereavement
The letters of tender sympathy and
affection have ceased. But the swee:
memories of her life will be fondlj
cherished, they will be richer far. as
a legacy of love, than lands and gold
The best lives for the world, art j
the lives of those whos program com
prehends the welfare and uplift of
others. This interest in others made
up much of the dominating mott'es
of her life.
Hearts that loved her are now sad
but in the faith that grasps the eter
nal tomorrow, there is-the dawning of i
a joy that reaches its noon-dav glow
when we all shall have come to that
never-ending meet on the everlasting
Hills of Light.
A short and impressive funeral ser
vice was held at the home Sunday af
ternoon, September 9. 1917. by Rev
\V. C. Harper of Madison. N'eb.. a for
mor pastor and an intimate friend
of the family. Mr. A. J. Johnson sang
"Face to Face." a favorite selection of
the deceased. The remains were laid
to rest in Evergreen cemetery.
TO NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS
We desire to express our sincerest
thanks for sympathy anil kindness to
us in our sorrow.

W. T. GIBSON.
William T. Gibson, son of John and
! Sarah Gibson, was born at Everett,
I Pennsylvania, September 3, 1S49.
He grew to manhood in the same
! locality where he was born, and on
October 20. 1809 was united in mar
! riage to -Mary Ritchey of Everett. Pa.,
and to this union one child was born.
Soon after their marrige they moved
to Loup City, Nebr., where *he re
mained until his death.
Mr. Gibson was a carpenter and
bridge builder by trade, and the many
buildings and brides in and around
Sherman county are the monuments
of his workmanship, however, he has
not been actively engaged in his trade
for some few years
Mr. Gibson was a public spirited
man. interested in the general wel
| fare of the community of which he was
a part. He was elected three times to
office of Township Supervisor of Sher
man county and at the time of his
death was mayor of the City of Loup
City and a member of the county board •
of supervisors.
While a young man he united with
the M. E. Church at Everett. Pa., but
never had his membership transfered
from that church, until in April of
191(1, when he became a member of
the First Presbyterian Church of Loup
City. Neb.
Mr. Gibson was taken sick about a
week before his death, but seemingly
had almost recovered from the attack
when suddenly on Thursday evening,
Sept.. 6, 1917, he passed away, at the
age of t>8 years and three days
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Mary Gibson, one daughter, Mrs. S. E.
Gallaway, of Loup City, one brother,
George, of Zephryshill. Fla., two grand
children, and many warm friends.
We have been called again to ex
press our sympathy in behalf of this
family and of the community who
mourn the loss of a husband, a father,
a brother, a citizen.
Three times within the last four
months, has our community been
shocked by the sudden death of one
of its citizens.—Contributed.
CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to show our appreciation
to our friends for their help, assistance
and sympathy shown us during the ill
ness, death and burial of our beloved
husband and father, W. T. Gibson.
