brancc I ha\'e becn imbued with
the idea that our departed lovcd
ones arc pr ! ; cl1t in spirit and are
conscious of the doingg here he.
low that may pertain directly to
them clve , With a consciousness -
ness then. vague ane ! indefinable
though it may he , thal in this
cnse our friend is lu'eseut hen'
to day. wc shall indulge in 110
fulsomc lauc1ation , but a plain
unvarnished preHcutation of his
Jile und charactcr as revealed to
those who know him , and such
ag in his modest humble way we
beleive himsclf would sanction
and approve.
RuulIItN E. GI.ASS was born in
Wayne county Michigan , Nov. ,
13tb , 184(1 , He enlistcd in Co.
" 0" 24th Michigan Volunteer
Infantry , Scpt. , 5th , 18J4 , and
was mustered oul of the scrvice
with his rcgiment at the close of
the war , Junc 30th , 18,5. Eight
years latcr he sell led in Plats-
mouth Nebr. , where he engaged
in the drug business. On Feb. ,
3rd , 187(11 he was married to Miss
Margaret L. Mitchell who sur- :
\'ives him. He had been married
previously to Miss Lena l 'ergu-
80n by whom he had two children
both ot whom arc dead. In 1887
Mr. and Mrs , Glass moved to
Kearney and in the fall of the
same year he cntered land under
pre-emption act near the prescnt
site of Ansley , He afterward
made residence near Georgetown
and in 1891 moved to Hrol < en Bow ,
where they continucd to reside ,
While at Georgetown he nited
with the Presbyterian church at
nurr Oak placing his membership -
ship in the same church on coming -
ing to this place of which he was
a mcmber at the time of his
death.
As a result of service in the
army he was broken in health.
l 'or many years he sutTered in-
tensley , bearing it however with
patience and fortitude. In speak.
ing of his , condition upon a
certain occasion in answer to my
cnquiry he replied , H1'here is not
a. day of my life that I am free
from pain. " He died Oct. , 11th ,
1)05. , Thc funeral services were
h ld in lhe Presbytcrian church ,
the sermon was preached by the
Bev. A , A. Mitchell from the
sublime and hopcful utterance 01
the world's Savior to the grief
stricken and antictcd sisters at
Bethany ,
"I aUl thc resurrection and the lifc :
hc that bc1ci\'cth in IIIC , though hc wcn :
clcnel , yet shall he li\'c : und whosoevcr
I \'ith I1IHI belcivcth in IIIC shall never
clic. "
At the codclusion of the sen-i-
ces his remains were taken in
( ; harge by the Masons , of which
he was a member and borne to
lheir resting place in the cemc-
trcy near by. -
On occasions of this kind re-
ferencc must necessarialy be
made to days anc1 timc that led to
these memorial services and the
part borne by the one in whose
C0111mel1lOration . they ar held.
'ro day when amid the clouds
and darkness of the gathering
night the loyal people of the
North lool < ed forth ancI

TUE MAN WITH A HOBBY
I confess to having a hobby and my hobby is to sell
the best buggy that can be sold for the money and to
rrive you a guarantee that if the buggy is not what I
t'l1 you it is I will fix it or refund your money.
I have my buggies made after my own specifications
and I know what they are made of. ny buying direct
from the factory I am able to sa v 25 per cen t o\'er what
my competitors pay for theirs and consequently am able
to sell you a buggy from $10 to $20.00 less than the > '
can possibly do. I have just received
