Aaotker Early Settler Home.
From the Platte Co. (Humphrey) Dem
ocrat we gather the following:
William Connelly, sr., died at his home
near Lindsay, June 11, aged 79 years.
He was born in' Ireland, emigrated to
Scotland when a young man, and mar
ried Miss Sarah McMasters. Their first
four children, Patrick, who died in
Scotland, William, Samuel and Edward,
who reside near Lindsay, were born in
Scotland. Emigrating to Canada in
1854, Mr. Connelly and family came to
Nebraska in 1871, locating on the home
stead where he has resided. His wife
and eight children survive him, viz:
William, Samuel, Edward, James, Mrs.
John H. Gogan, Mrs. Ed. Ratturham,
Francis, and Mrs. Martin Mogan, all to
mourn the loss of a kind father and an
exemplary christian. A son named John
died about twenty years ago. His chil
dren are all married, one of the daugh
ters living in Cripple Creek, Colo., sev
eral living in Lindsay, and the balance
along the Shell creek. Mr. Connelly
was a good citizen, an obliging neighbor,
as honest as the sun, and had the re
spect and good will of all who knew
him. A large number of relatives,
friends and neighbors attended the
funeral, there being about sixty-five
vehicles in the procession. His remains
were taken to St John's Catholic
church, seven miles southeast of Lind
say, and after the usual mass being held,
was laid to rest in the cemetery near the
the church. The church was filled to its
utmost capacity during the service, a
large number standing all the time,
while many could not get inside. The
large concourse of sorrowing friends and
neighbors who followed his remains to
their last resting place was a true testi
mony of the high esteem in which he
was held.
That Small Cyeloae.
Monday of last week the elements
were very different a little west of Silver
Creek from what they were here. The
Times of that place of last week gives
the particulars better than any other
account we have seen, illustrating the
general principle, for local events, look
to the local newspapers:
Monday afternoon about 320 what was
thought to be a water spout, but in
reality was a genuine cyclone, was seen
over in Polk county about three miles
west of Silver Creek. It started just
south of the Platte across from D. D.
Little's island and moved very rapidly
for several miles in a southeasternly di
rection, then changed its course and
went southwest After the funnel form
ed it lasted but eight minutes before it
broke. It swept a path about G rods
wide. Huge cottonwood trees were
snapped like pipe stems, apple trees,
eight inches in diameter, were torn up
by the roots and carried for rods. For
tunately the cyclone struck the build
ingB of only one farmer, those of Ben
Finecy. The barn, which was 30x40
feet, and contained 300 bushels of oats
was completely wrecked. Boards and
shingles were carried for about half a
mile and scattered everywhere. In
places, about a quarter of a mile from
where the barn stood, we saw boards
driven into the ground and standing
straight as if some one had put them
there. In the top of a tree about 75
feet high we noticed a harness hanging
which previous to the storm hung in the
barn. A pony was said to have been
picked up and carried over the tops of
the same trees and landed on all fours
some distance away his feet penetrating
the ground to a depth of about twelve
inches. One horse belonging to H.
Wisely and a mnle belonging to Ben
Finecy were killed, five horses, two
owned by Ed Mustard and three by
Finecy, were injured, Mr. Wisley had a
wagon snatched, carried for some dis
tance, turned upside down and the box
completely demolished, but the wagon
otherwise uninjured. The east and
south porches with some shingles were
torn from the house and literally smash
ed into kindling wood. Will Miller,
John Wisely and Mont Mustard who
had put their horses in Finecy's barn on
the approach of the storm, were lifted
bodily from the ground, thrown over a
fence and into a mudhole. Miller re
ceived a scalp wound and one hip was
injured but the others were unharmed.
Mr. Finecy estimates bis loss at about
$200, while. Harry Powers of Osceola,
who owned the buildings, lost in the
neighborhood of $500.

She was born in Salisbury, Herkimer
county, N. Y., November 18, 1823, her
maiden name Lois Shedd.
She sank quietly to rest like going to
sleep, free 'from pain, as she had often
expressed a wish, having implicit faith
in the Good Father whom she trusted
fully, without fear or doubt
The fnaeral was attended from the
residence of her son, H. W. Mitchell, at
2 o'clock p. m. on. the 15th inet, Rev. a
W. Baker preaching a very appropriate
sermon from the text 27th verse of the
9th chapter of Hebrews. The songs
sung were the old familiar ones she so
much loved: "Rock of Ages," "Nearer
My God, to Thee" and "Jesus, Lover of
My Soul."
The burial was in the cemetery two
miles north of Clearwater, Neb.
She leaves two sons, John Wiggins of
this city, snd H. W. Mitchell of Clear
water, who were both. in attendance at
her burial.
So passes another truly noble mother.

A traveling shark recently worked
one of the merchants of Bellwood, so
says the Gazette, for 827, and skipped.
He pretended to represent a Kansas
City firm, and after selling a bill of
goods demanded an advance of 827. He
got the money, but the merchant has
not, even yet, got the goods. We heard
a bint of something of the same kind
here, but the bitten ones are not telling
much about it, which we hardly think is
right. When experience is valuable, its
very greatest worth may be to those who
can profit by the experience of others,
and thuB avoid danger and trouble.
