ken Bow , March 27 , 188,5. She
was married to James Swope

brothers and sisters and mother.
Two years ago she was taken
sick and has been a constant suf. .
ferer every since. She was con-
vertcd when fifteen ycars old and
has beeu a member of the M. E.
church ever since 1892. Since
the 4th of July , when she came
with her children to thc city to
the celebration , she has been in

'l'he Lincoln Dully Stur'H Writ" UI )
T4e Lincoln Daily tar gave
an extensive and highly complimentary -
mentary write up of Broken Bow
and Custer county , including the
other towns of the county in its
issue of August 6. It not only
contains reliable historic facts of
the ear ! v settlcment of the county -
ty but gives a fair statcnient of
the county's resources and its de-
velopement. . .lI.'he business men
of Broken Bow and the other
towns of the cmnty } receive personal -
sonal mention. 'l'he remarkable
increase of deposits in the Broken
BoY. ' banks , speaks volumes -
umes for the prosperity of the
people of the vicinity. Thohe
111terested in the county and the
several towns would do well to
secure a copy of the paper of
August 6 , for future reference ,
and send a COPy to each of their ,
friends.
