A RewsMKr That aires The Rem Flfty-tw Weeks Each Year Far 11.50
RED CLOUD. NEBRASKA, JULY 28, 1921
C. R. Besse Died Suddenly at his Home
Funeral Services will be at Home Saturday at 2 p m.
(Written by a friend)
Were it not for ono fnctt the dentil
of Mr. Hesse would havo recelrod but
the customary notice, n brief nccount
of his life in our midst mid the usual
' perfunctory expressions of protended
1 grief at his passing It is true that lie
was one of the pioneers of the county,
having located near Red Cloud in the
winter of 1870 Hut he had removed
from the county in the early seventies,
and did not return until after ho lfud
become a widower, whoso wife was
unknown to us.
Since his return he has lived nmong
us a gentleman of leisure, and, while
a familiar figure upou the streets, he
had no occupation which related him
to the Industrial or commercial inter
ests of the community with any degree
of intimaoy. lie was possessed of suf
flcient means to satisfy his pecuniary
wants, and leave a comfortable surplus
for investment or loans. He was just
and fair in all his dealings with hiatal
lows, and was appealed to wltji sue
cess for charitable purposes and the
support of measures pertaining to tho
public good. Hut he had been nowise
exceptional la these respects
A score or more of borrowers to
whom he had been lenient and gener
ous would have spoken 'hla .Draiaes.
One or two inttmatq frlend&ufoiwhom
be had laid aside the sarcastictuaHner
with which he habitually -cloaked his
deeper feelings, might have found
something in his character which won
their respect and affection, and would
have followed his body to the tomb in
sincere grief. No children, or descend
ants of any description, no persons
near enough of lln to give or receive
the endearments of family tics solaced
his last hours, or gave comfort to his
declining year.
Out, if he lacked the presence of
family intimates, he had provided him
self a substitute by adopting tho en
tire population of the city us his fami
ly, by making nil the children of tho
community the objects of his bounty.
He made a generous donation of his
wealth to minister to the happiness
and instruction of all the youth of the
town and provide for the permanent
advantage aud adornment of the city.
He made a gift of fifteen thousand
dollars for the purpose of erecting a
suitable auditorium for the education
al purposes of the vicinity. Others
were influenced by his example, and
Red Cloud became possessed of the
finest auditorium in the state, outside
of tho larger cities. The reward to Mr.
Besse was instantaneous. He found
himself at once the object of the city's
regard and affection. Tho loneliness
of a man without relatives disappear
ed. He became surrounded with a
populace that spoke hla name with
kindliest respect, greeted him with
heartfelt gratitude, aud gave him
every token of nffeotlonatc consider
ation, Childreu lisped his name with
thanksgiving. His fcllowmen spoke
to him with unwonted feeling aud
kindness. He found himsolf in the
conscious enjoyment of a civic gratl
tudo which manifested Itself on every
occasion.
It may be fairly assorted that theso
last years of his life were the happiest
he had lived. To see in tho faces of all
he met a warmth.of recognition, where
there lind been coolucss; an eagerness
of greeting whero there had boon In
difference; to know that tliero was but
one feeling in tho hearts of nil he met,
and that It was a feeling of unbound-
Jacob Allen, who had been confined
to his bud sluco Fubruiiry aud hud
been hulTuriiift from a cancer, passed
uwuy Saturday afternoon at the homo
of his daughter, Mrs, Wm. Overleeho,
residing north of this city. Mr. Allen
was an old resident of Hlvorton and
funeral services wero held thero Mon
day afternoon at 2:30,
As yet tho remains of Cbas. Johnson
son of S. U. Johnson, havo not arrived"
from floboken, N, J,, but will' arrive
od tenderness towards himself, must
have given him a peace, a joy, a satis
faction he had never experienced be
fore. Ho had given unstintedly, aud there
was 110 stint in the rcspouso of the
people, lie had given something for
nothing, aud he received something in
return. While his gift was measured
materially in dollars he had given his
heart with his money, and the heart of
tho community went out to him with
out measure.
Mr. Basso was born in tho state of
Maine, on the 21th day of August, 1817,
and lacked one month of belug seventy
four years old at tho time of his death.
He located in the vicinity of Red
Cloud, iu the fall of 1370, on the land
soutli of where the railroad now is,
about a mile east of what was to bo
come the City of Red Cloud, but which
then contained no evidencos of a vill
age. After he had obtained title to his
land he returned cast where bo was
married and became the father of a
son. His first wlfo having died, he
came back to this county, and was
united in marriage to the wlaow of H.
S. Kaley. She died some two yea; 8
ago. Ills son had died several yeais
before without issue, leaving the aged
man without any relatives other then
cousins, one of whom palcLBim a visit'
during the past year.
Mr. Besse served for a snort time as
a member of the city council and was
often urged to beoome a candidate for
the mayoralty, bnl refused. He serv
ed the people also as a member of th.
state senate in 1609. He was a Mason
during his residence iu the east but
never united ,wlth the order iu this
state. Ho was not a member of any
religious organization, although by
his attendanco at church he manifest
cd his interest in religious matters.
He was a consistent domoorat iu
politics for tho groater part of his life
but ho took serious exceptions to tho
course of President Wilson and be
came a Republican before the last
presidential campaign.
No one was present with him at tho
time of his doath, and he -had made no
complaint which awakened suspicion
that death was near. He had attended
tho picture show Saturday night, and
his friends discovered nothing unusual
in his bearing or conversation. Mr.
and Mrs. Clark Stevens passed his
house about eleven o'clock p. m. and
saw him sitting on-the porch. In his
familiar way he called to them saying,
"It is pretty late for young folks to be
out.'' i
About two o'olook Mr. Clare Pope
passing by saw him stretched upon
the ground. Dr. Crclghton was sum
moned, and 'the county attorney was
called to the scene. Thore wero no
marks of external violence and the
doctor pronounced him a victim of au
internal hemorrhage.
Mr. Auld, his most iutimato friend,
being in Omaha, and Mr. McNeny, his
attorney, being iu California, tho body
was taken to tho undertaking rooms
until Mr. Auld should nrrlvo. Mrs,
Joyce, the wife of his dead sou was
telegraphed fcr. Sho arrived yester
day, and the funeral services wero ap
pointed for 2 o'lock I'. M. of Saturday,
at the home. Tho body will bo taken
tc his old homo In Mainoforintermout.'
No will has been discovered up to tho
time of going to press.
We think tho Commercial Club
should take up tho matter of arrang
ing a suitable Momorial sorvlco in tho
hall which resulted from his bounty.
Tho Lutheran congregations of Rlv
orton and Campbell will colebrato a

81st, on tho Qollenbcrg grounds, five

Are you fair
to your watch?
An automobile ntedt fttqutnt
atttntlon. What about your
watch a mechanttm infinite'
ly more dallcate?
CARBON in the motor of n
car will decrease the running
efficiency of that car. And
yet the carbon will accumulate.
The car owner, knowing this, has
his car frequently overhauled
and the carbon removed.
And yet this same man, per
haps, will allow his watch,
mechanlim infinitely more deli
cate, to run for years without
attention. AH the while it Is ac
cumulating dust for tiny dirt
particles will sift in through the
most tightly fitting case-and this
will in time impede the timekeep
ing performance of the watch.
Your automobile performs oc
casional service, but your watch
haa to run continously for a full
twenty-four hours each day.
Look at your watch: How long
haa It been since you took it to
Jeweler for examination?
