Matney Of This City James Matheson Matney, son of Samuel and Demarius Matney, was born January 14, 1882 at Decatur, Nebr., and died at Om aha on November 3. 1958. He spent his boyhood at Decatur but attended the School for the Deaf in Omaha where he met Mary Brehm. They were mar ried at Grand Island on January 14, 1920. To this union 5 children were born: Winifred, Ralph, June Ma xine, George and Elizabeth Ann. The young couple made their home in Onawa, la., for twenty years coming to Plattsmouth in 1945. Mr. Matnev was a painter and decorator by trade but at one time ran a theater and also op erated a ferry on the Missouri River. He was a great lover of the river and sports, played a great deal of baseball and when he became older was an um pire of the national pastime. He came by his love for baseball naturally because he was a rela tive of Pepper Martin, well kno wn St. Louis ballplayer of World Series fame. He is survived by his wife and the five children: Mrs. Glen Larson of Plattsmouth, Ralph J. Matney of Omaha, Miss June Maxine Matney of Mollne, 111., George Matney of Kansas City, Kans., and Mrs. Donald Homan of New Albany, Ind., and seven teen grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mr. and Mrs. Matney joined the Methodist Church in Onawa, la., and their children attend ed the Plattsmouth Methodist Church. Mr. Matney was a kindly man of jovial disposition and after his wife began to lose her sight he took over the care of their home. When he could io longer participate in his outdoor interests, he made his interest cooking at which he became quite proficient. The determination of Mr. and Mrs. Matney to lead as near normal lives as possible in spite of their afflictions is reflected in their fine family and the ad miration with which they are held by friends in this commun ity who knew them. The love and sympathy of the friends is extended to his wife who so needed him and to their children who held their parents in such high esteem.

The Murray fire department answered the fire alarm first and called the Plattsmouth de partment. Cass County Deputy Sheriff Wayne Schneider and a highway patrolman answered the acci dent call and Schneider radioed for doctors and ambulances. When the two volunteer fire departments saw they couldn't control the blaze with water, they used the radio of veter inarian Dr. Gordon Wasson, Plattsmouth, to call Offutt Air Force Base and Bellevue for help. Both sent cans of "foam" which were used to control the gasoline blaze. The acident occurred about 3:30 p.m. By the time assistance ar rived for the Murray firemen, the corn crib was collapsing around the blazing truck and a power line pole was burning along with the entire proximity of the truck. Consumers Public Power cut the power on the lines atop the pole because of the danger to firefighters and bystanders. Soon afterward, the cross arms atop the pole burned through dropping 33,000-volt lines onto the lower 7,200-volt lines. Two thirds of the top of the pole were burned up. Murray, Union and Nehawka were without power for about three hours until repairs were made. Sunday Consumers set a new pole at the corner. The fire in the corn crib, corn and a pile of cobs continued to burn until 5:30. A double funeral for the Mur ray ladies will be Tuesday at 2:30 at the Christian Church, Murray. --Manley (Continued from Page 1) Schneider said the accident occured at the intersection of State Highway 1 and 50 north of Manley. Rolphs was going south and turning off Highway 50 to go to Manley when the other car which was following ran up on to the Rolphs car. The two cars continued on in that position after the terrific impact a distance of 132 feet be fore stopping in a ditch, Schnei der said. He said witnesses said the Toomey car had pulled over to the left hand lane as if to pass before hitting the other car which went into the left lane to turn.
