Catholic church read before his con
gregation Bishop Bonacums order
transferring him to a small pastorate
down in Richardson county Dawson
a town of a few hundred population
The order is effective December first
That this order of Bishop Bonacum is
regretted by practically every member
of Saint Patricks church is certain
And tho hope is gonoral that tho order
may not become effective until the first
of tho year if at all In tact k is too
wish of the entire membership and of
well that the

of humanity
It is the bishops purpose to place
this charge under the control of an order
of monks having headquarters down in

an individual priest as has been the case
for almost a quarter of a century

LIFES DRAMA OER FOR GEOIIOCKNELL
Who Passed Away on Last Wednesday
Night October 30th In Sacramento
California of Heart Disease
Tho death of George Ilocknoll at Sac
ramento California Wednesday night
of last week from heart failure caused
a wave of deep regret and genuine
emotion in this city especially among
those of tho old guard who know and
wero closely attached to him in tho days
gone when ho was a potent and inde
fatigable factor in tho establishment
and growth of McCook and of this sec
tion of Nebraska
It is perhaps useless for tho writer to
attempt to sketch tho lifo of George
Hocknell For most of a quarter of a
century ho was connected with tho de
velopment of Southwestern Nebraska
and particularly of McCook First as
president of tho Frees Ilocknoll Lum
ber Co and afterwards as president of
Tho First National Bank and of The
McCook Loan Trust Co of this city
But of late years he has been a residont
of California where ho had large inter
ests
The tragedy of his lifo there is sub
merged here in the desire of all to
member him only as he lived and moved
among us here in tho hoy dey of his
activity and energy and optimism
The remains arrived here Tuesday
morning and brief services were con
ducted in the Congregational church
tho same afternoon in charge of pastor
Rav Geo B Ilawkes Those services
were attended by many old friends of
tho early days
Every hoart present was touch by the
tenderness and chivalry of the tribute
paid the departed by Captain B M
Frees who was most closely and inti
mately associated with George Hock
nell whom he never failed in any vicis
situde of life
MR FREES TRIBUTE
Paper written by Mr B M Frees and

Standing beside the casket that con
tains all that is mortal of my friend and
partuer it is perhaps meet that I should
not remain silent George Hocknell I
loved as a brother For more than
twenty years we wero associated in busi
ness together and never a word of dis
cord between us His life at McCook
was well known He wasone of its first
settlers Our lumber office standing
about where Mr Barnetts is now was
tho first building erected in what is now
the thriving city of McCook
He was the friend of all his neighbors
and acquaintances and they wero all his
friends Thoy sent him to Lincoln to
represent them He accomplished the
object for which he went and although
often urged to accept further political
honors he always declined ne was one
of the organizers of the First National
Bank and its president for twenty years
and until he was disabled Familiarly
known as George to every one he met on
tho street he always had a kind word
for each one He was a liberal provider
in his home and always charitable and
kind to the unfortunate While here
an energetic and successful business
man and always ready to assist in any
enterprise to benefit his home city In
pursuit of health and a wider field of
activity he went to California and was

thero but a short timo before his physi
cal and mental troubles unsettled Ins
mind Much of his time was spent in
hospitals and in a vain nndoavor to ro
covor his hoalth His suffering at times
was almost unboarablo and would have
long ago caused tho death of a man
with less fortitude For the last live
years and at periods previou3 to this his
mind was clouded so that ho was not re
sponsible for his actions Aftor his in
jury nearly three years ago ho bravely
started to retrieve his fortune declining
aid from his friends and sinco that timo
io im lol n stn nuous and very sad
existenco and his physical and mental
pain have been terrible indeed 1 saw
him twice last spring and ho could not
remembei ever having lived In Nebraska
or i eing in business hero in any way 1
received a letter from him dated two
days beforo his death and he stated that
his momorv concerning Nebrnska was
still a blank Ho was then in tho
mountains of Nevada looking after some
promising mining property he had taken
up I turned from his letter to receivo
a telegram announcing his death at
Sacramento on the night of October
30th
Georgo Hocknell was born in tho city
of New York and received his education
in tho public schools and while still a
very young man came west Returning
to tho east ho camo to Nebraska in 1SS1
Leaving Nevada for his homo in Los
Angeles ho was taken sick on tho train
and at Sacramento was removed to tho
hospital and died the same night in his
60th year I want to remember him as
he went in and out beforo yon while
living heio known to every one as ono oi
tho most generous of men Good bye

So far as flowers in lovely profusion

tenderness and depth of sentiment there
was nothing to bo desired

last of earth for George Hocknell
