Mr. Hull was born the son of a farmer, and grew to manhood on his father's farm in West Vir ginia. Here, under the exacting experience of the farm boy, he developed the industry and in tegrity which marked his life. As a child he experienced the exciting and tragic experience of the border communities during the Civil War. He truly loved the land and was never known by his family to express a desire to be occupied in any other work. Throughout his long and useful life he was occupied with the in terests of a farm and his farm community. Mr. Hull came to Plattsmouth as a young man in 1881, traveling partly by Ohio River steamer. He was married to Ida Amelia Beins in the year 1888, establish ing their home on what is known as the Cole farm near the cem etery where he was buried beside the wife who passed away in 1932. Here in Cass County were born their four children, two sons and two daughters. Mr. Hull moved his family later to pioneer in Western Nebraska and later to Oklahoma where he spent 33 years on his farm near Vinita, in Mayes County. Mr. Hull and his wife lent their efforts to the establishment of a United Bretnern Church in their community in Oklahoma, their home becoming the stop ping place for the "Circuit Ri ders" of those times. Mr. Hull led a long and useful life. He accepted the buffets of life with patience and high cour age. In the long illness preced ing his passing a period espec ially trying to one who had al ways been active and self reli ant he was patient and uncom plaining. He truly rendered a good account of the talents given him. at the Bruce Sowards place the past week. Mr. and Mrs. John Beck of Weeping Water called on Mr. and j Mrs. Orie Sowards Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. William Mason j and children were supper guests j of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Bachman i on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Richards, Elizabeth, and Joan went to Omaha to the Water Follies.

Splitt was born April 22, 1884, on a farm near Omaha, Nebr., then located on a site now occupied by one of our large packing companies. When she was two years of age, her parents sold their home, and with their family returned to their native Germany, but their sojourn was of short dura tion and they decided to return to America to make their home. Upon their return they bought an acreage in the south part of Plattsmouth. When she was about 10 years of age, they moved to a farm south of Murray, Nebr., where her brother, Gus Splitt, now lives. This was her home until her marriage to F. W. BeiL Au gust 14, 1901, at the age of 17 years. They immediately set up a home in a log cabin on his fath er's farm in the sight of old Ken osha, later purchasing part of the farm and building a home, in which they lived until August, 1945, when she became so ill that they gave up farming and moved to Plattsmouth. Her illness was of some five years' duration, the last 16 weeks of which she was bedfast, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ruth Switzer, and at her own home on North Eighth street, where she passed away at 9:15 Monday evening, July 14, 1947, at the age of 63 years, 3 months,' and 12 davs. Funeral services were held in the Caldwell Chapel Wednesday Realty Transfers Lester Robertson and Edna, Flank C.

Unripe fruits re sult in undesirable texture, fla vor, aroma, or color, and may taste somewhat sour or bitter. Strict cleanliness in handling in sures a frozen product of good quality. Grapes and pears are not suited for freezing. Peaches, apricots, and plums, since they would not make a sirup if packed whole with sugar, may be sliced and covered with a heavy sirup. Strawberries and raspberries may also be frozen in the siruD. Use the least possible amount of sirup to cover the fruit. This sirup helps preserve the color of light-colored fruits by preventing access of air. A 40 to 60 per cent sirup may be used, the 40 to 45 per cent sirup being best suited to sweet and mild-flavored fruits while the 50 per cent sirup may be used for sour acid fruits. Form ulas for 40, 50, and 60 per cent sirup: 40 per cent sirup 2 3-4 j cups sugar to 4 cups water, 50 per cent sirup 4 cups sugar to 4 cups water, and 60 per cent sirup 6 cups sugar to 4 cups water. Stir until sugar is dissol ved. Do not heat or cook the sirup. Strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and other small fruit may be dry-sugar packed. In this method, the whole or sliced fruit is combined with the dry sugar, which draws out the fruit juice and froms a sirup without the addition of water. The propor tions are usually one pound of sugar to three or four pounds of fruit. Distribute the sugar evenly throughout the product so that it dissolves quickly. However, this method gives a less tepder pro duct than does the sirup method. Both methods exclude air from the product, thus avoiding dis coloration and unpleasant chan ges in flavor. Some fruits, such as certain varieties of raspberries, straw berries, and rhubarb, can be successfully frozen without the addition of sugar or liquid. Fruits frozen in this manner are best suited for making pies, marmalades, and other cooked products rather than for des sert use.
