Obituary of Mrs. Carper Mrs. Joanna Theresa Carper, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William B. Davis, was born near Buchanan, Mo., January 26, 1850, and passed to her reward on December 12, 1940, having reached the ripe age of 90 years. 11 months and 16 days. When a child of seven years, her parents moved from her birthplace to Cass county, settling on a farm some two miles northeast of the present site of Union. On October 1, 1S73, she was united in wedlock to James K. Carper. She and her husband continued to live in Nebraska until 1907, at which ime they removed to a farm near Lebanon, Kansas. It was there that Mr. Carper passed away on January 0, 1923. Early in February of that year. Mrs. Carper returned to Nebraska to make her home with -her sister, Mrs. Eikenbary, at Burr, where they lived until 1931, when they came to Union and located in the home here where she passed away. One child, a son Robert, who died in infancy, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Carper. Two brothers and two sis ters have preceded her in death. Of her immediate family, there survive her passing the sister, Mrs Eikenbary, and a brother, Oscar A Davis, both residing in Union. She also leaves two nephews, Ralph Davis and William Carraher, both resi dents of Union, as well as several more distant relatives. Mrs. Carper was converted in an evangelistic meeting in the Cumber land Presbyterian church in Nebras ka City, conducted by Rev. J. B Green, when she was but nineteen years of age. She continued as a member of that church until locating at Burr, when she became a member of the Burr Methodist church. On returning to Union to live in 1931, she transferred her membership to the local Methodist church, remain ing a faithful and consistent Chris tian and a loyal member of this church to the day of her death. As long as her health and strength would permit, she attended services regularly. She was a great lover of the hymns and songs of the Chris tian religion, a devout student of her Bible, and when health and the in firmities of age prevented her longer being identified with the services of God's house, she found delight and comfort in hearing the radio mes sages of the Rev. R. R. Brown and other services of the air. Mrs. Carper has gone, but she will long linger in the memory of those of thiscommunity where she lived so long. She leaves to her sister and brother, the other relatives and the community at large a blessed heri tage of Christian influence that will not perish. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor. Rev. J. T. Sawyer, assisted by Rev. W. A. Taylor. A number of her most beloved hymns were sung. A profusion of floral tributes attested the esteem in which she was held by all. Interment was in the East Union cemetery. 1 nomas Walling Company Abstracts of Title Phone 324 Plattsmouth. -H--H H M H-IM"M-I. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL ST0EM BRINGS CAR TROUBLES The storm of Saturday and Sunday provided the grounds for a number of minor car accidents Saturday night and Sunday. Most of the acci dents were caused when cars skidded together on the slick paving. One collision occurred north of this city on No. 75 when a car going north and one south slid into each other and ended in being side by side and broadside of the road. Another tangle south of this city was occa sioned when two cars swung into each other and had their bumpers locked. While en route out on a call to look over one of the wrecks Sher iff Joe Mrasek skidded into a curb near the Masonic Home and had one wheel damaged. Mildred Hall Returns from California Plattsmouth Laly Finds Pleasant Time Visiting in, the Coast Country. Miss Mildred Hall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Hall, arrived home the fore part of this week from a very pleasant visit of four months' duration in California. Miss Hall was among the four who accompanied her brother, Wil- ber and his wife to the west coast this summer. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Bourne, Mrs. Vernon Arn, Sr., and the Wilber Halls remained for a short time but Mildred's plans called for an extended visit because this was her first trip to the much-talked- about land. The greater part of the time was spent at Long Beach, where she was a guest at the home of a cousin, Mrs. B. F. Morris and husband. Among other relatives and friends she had the pleasure of seeing and visiting were Mr. and Mrs. sam Arcner, former Plattsmouth residents, who now reside at Arcadia, California, and Mrs. Edith Hall, an aunt, at Los Angeles, with whom Mildred spent much time. As she traveled about on the west coast she was able to meet numerous former Plattsmouth residents and see many interesting sights and places. Before starting' on' her homeward journey, Mildred was able to visit a number of friends and other dis tant relatives. In.Roscoe she enjoyed a visit with Mrs. Wilber Hall's brother. However, the local lady did not do all of her visiting in one place. In Salt Lake City, Utah she was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Hall, in Julesburg, Colorado she met a group of her old friends, and in North Platte, Nebraska, her brother, Robert Hall welcomed her back. UNDERGOING TREATMENT Lee Phillips of this city was taken to Kearney Saturday, being placed in the state hospital at that place. He has a tubercular trace and throat infection that it is hoped the course of treatment will benefit. cccooooosoco&ooscccososco I I Jm Howard uavis LAWYER Plattsmouth, Nebr, Christmas mm Ties The Proverbial Gift for Men Beautifully Boxed 55 - 750 - 51 Fit for a King Robes, Pajamas, Gloves Sweaters, Glass Belts! WE SCOTT'S Where Quality Counts s X Heaviest Snow of Season Visits This Section Foot of Snow Covers This Section of Cass County and Slows Up Motor and Train Traffic From Monday's DaITy-r The snow storm of Saturday and Sunday was much heavier than that of Armistice day and was followed by worse drifting than its predecessor. The several inches that fell Saturday and Saturday night were followed by an even heavier amount during last night. A gradually increasing wind velocity through the night took the moisture out of the snow, leav ing it light and fluffy and by day light this morning huge drifts had been formed, with more sifting in on the stiff wind that swept from out of the northwest. To attempt clean ing sidewalks was a waste of time and effort. Estimates of the snow vary from one to two feet through this sec tion, which served to interfere with travel. Burlington east bound train No. 6 due here at 8:40 did not reach here until 11:30 and then was oper ated as a double header. Bus traffic was also interfered with very much. The north bound Interstate due at 6 a. m. reached here at 8:30 from Kansas City, where icy conditions were reported by the driver, turning into snow as he came on northward. Residents of the country sections were largely kept at home as the snow in many places had drifted the side roads shut, making travel well nigh impassable. The snow drifts have worked a great hardship on the rural mail car riers, coming at this busy season of the year when Christmas packages are piling up awaiting delivery. Reports received here during the forenoon were that the O street road into Lincoln was drifted badly and traffic almost at a standstill. Slippery conditions along the road from town to the Missouri river bridge caused several cars to skid into the guard rails and some slid on into the ditch and required as sistance from the county tractor to get them out. - ..-..-., Local motorists have found the going most difficult, even on the level and chains were necessary in order to get around at all. Delivery trucks were unable to maintain any sort of schedule, but drivers were doing the best they could in an effort to serve the pa trons. The city force is out bucking the snow with a triangular plow drawn by the truck and a number of sim ilar horse drawn snow plows were being used to clear the sidewalks of their heavy drifts. UNDERGOES OPERATION Mrs. Nellie Shea of this city under went a very severe operation Tues day afternoon at the Clarkson hos pital at Omaha. She stood the oper ation in good shape and her condi tion at the last reports was "fair." Your order for Job Printing will receive prompt attention at this office. QUESTION! QUESTION!
