From there he found his way down over the rocks, hav ing difficutly keeping from falling. At that time the land west of where the Knud Jensen house is, was mostly hazel brush, with a creek running through it. In the year of Day began ; operating a Water, oHhnno-li tio ctl'll TlVPrt ' at.

As there are only two small cabins connected with the station, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Partridge had quite a problem caring for so many unexpected guests. We are told that even all floor space was filled with tired sleepers Sunday night. The host and hostess provided the guests -with hot coffee until the coffee be came exhausted, then made hot tea and served others with milk. Sand wiches were hurriedly made and pie served as far as possible. Bacon, ham and eggs helped to feed the hungry guests also. As most of the guests could not get away until the highway was opened at four o'clock Monday af ternoon, the food problem became acute, as they borrowed from the farm homes nearest to Ft. George. Mrs. Partridge reports that every one made the best of the situation and they proved to be a fine group of guests to serve. Two young ladies w-pre on their way from a point in Water in 1S8 6 and opened a general merchandise store. His father-in-law, G. W. Norton, was in charge of his elevator here. When he came to Weeping Water the "main street" ran parallel vyith the creek, about where the railroad tracks now run. Mr. Day was here when the Mis souri Facifif built its road into town. He was one of the citizens who were instrumental in getting the Weep ing Water Academy in our town. For a number of years this academy ex erted a high moral influence over the youth of this and other com munities. He saw the spectacular opening of the Noble Sewing Machine com pany, which was moved here from Erie, Penn., also the opening of the Reed Quarries, which began a very lively enterprise, and led to the open ing of all later quarries. He has seen the destruction of old landmarks, and the replacement by newer and Mrs. M. U. Thomas . Edna J. Upton was born on a farm in the Three Grove community, near the present town of Union, Cass County, Nebraska, on February 17, 18G5. She passed away at her home in Weeping Water, Nebraska, on No vember 3, 1943, after a long illness, at the age of 78 years, 8 months, 17 days. Her parents, Joseph S, and Evelyn Brashear Upton, had gone as pioneers from Kentucky to Missouri. In De cember, 1864, they moved overland to Nebraska, locating on the farm near the old village of Factory ville. Here she was born and spent her childhood and girlhood, a member of a large family. She taught in rural schools in Cass County a few years, one term in the present Sunny Hill district. After her father's death, the fam ily lived in Weeping Water for a time, to educate two younger bro thers, and here she met Dr. Marion U. Thomas. They were married on May S, 1887, in tne Aietnoaist cnurcn in weeping Water. To them was born one son, Dr. J. W. Thomas of Lincoln, Ne braska. They lived most of their life together in Nebraska. The last of her immediate, family, she is survived by; her son ana daughter-in-law, a sister-in-law, Mrs .John McGrady, and a number of nieces and nephews of, the Upton, Switzer, and Johnson familif. and countless friends wherever she has lved. Her husband preceded her in death on Feb. 28, 1942. Mrs. Thomas was a member of the Congregational church in Weeping Water, the P.E. O., the Eastern Star, of which she was Worthy Matron In 1926, and had formerly belonged to the Woman's club, in which her ex cellent book reports are remembered. In her colorful personality was blended a love of gracious . living, which her home exemplified, and the native humor and vitality of her pioneer ancestors. She loved life and people. Only a year ao she said. "I have had a full life." That sums it up: a full life. She was essentially a home maker, devoted to her husband and son, but the doors of their home always swung wide to friends. Always young in heart, her spec ial interest was young people of the teen-age. She loved to do things for her nieces and nephews. They are remembering gratefully. But best of all that she gave her own heart warming personality a full life. Every Bend You Buy Makes the , Axis Cry .
