Mrs. Samuel Rees,
Pioneer Woman of
This City, is Dead
Mrs. Samuel Bees, one of the Omaha
pioneers, died Monday afternoon at her
home, 720 South Twenty-second street,
after an lllneat of som time, the last
few months of which she has been con
fined to her bed.
Mrs. Henrietta Rees was born In New
York seventy years ago, and In 17, with
two brothers and a slater. Miss Jennie
McKoon, who survives her, and who still
resides here, came to Omaha. Mrs. Rees,
who was them Miss - McKoon, almost
immediately after her arrival here, was
employed as a teacher In the public
schools by B. B. B. - Kennedy, who was
then a member of the Hoard of Educa
tion. With great success for a number
of years she continued to teach In the
public schools of this city. Thirty-seven
years ago she was married to Samuel
Rees, who with their two children,
Samuel Rees, Jr., and Miss Henrietta, sur
vive her. .......
For many years prior to her death, Mrs.
Rees was. one of the - most prominent
women of the city, having been a leader
.in everything she undertook. She was a
member of the Daughters of the Revolu
tion, the Woman's club, first worthy
matron of the local 'order of the Eastern
Star and active in the affairs of the Doug
las County . Pioneers' assoclaTWh. She
gave largely to charity and was active in
everything that had to do with relieving
want and suffering among the poor and
the afflicted- ...
Though never curing much for society.
It Is doubtful If there are many women
in Omaha who had more friends than
Mrs. Rees. She was a splendid enter
tainer and her home life was most beau
tiful. While the Illness that proceeded
her death was of more that two years'
duration, it was Dut a few weeks ago
that she gave up and -took to her beo.
Though sick for months her strong will
power kept her up and although suffer
ing constantly she always appeared
cheerful, bright and hopeful. '

CHILD PLAYER IS
SENSATION OF HOUR
Little Anna Leaf Surprises Select
Audience with Wonderful Tech
nique on the Piano.
IS ALSO PROFICIENT IN SCHOOL
That great musical geniuses rise
from the most humble surroundings
Is no hackneyed fairy tale, was
demonstrated at a private recital
given Sunday afternoon at Slgmund
Landsberg's studio, when a number
of prominent society folk gathered
to do honor to little Anna Leaf, 11-year-old
daughter of Mrs. C. B. Leaf
of 1726 South Twenty-fifth street.
Society women and local artists vied
with each other In smothering 'with
caresses and exclamations of delight
the winsome little miss, who for two
hours had held them, by turns en
tranced and spellbound, by hef bril
liant exhibition at the piano, her
technique and muslclanly Interpreta
tion. So great was the Interest manifested
In the child prodigy that several of the
women present have signified their In
tention of arranging for the child to ap
pear on the program for the April meet
ing of the Tuesday Morning Musical lub.
This Is the first time a child has ever
been suggested for an appearance beforo
this organisation.
The sensation of the afternoon was the
masterly Interpretation of a Mozart con
certo of extraordinary length, a remark
able feat of memory for a child of only
11 years. Little Anna played also three
movements In an English suite by Bach,
and Beethhoven and Minkowski numbers.
The diminutive maiden has evinced a
marked preference for the piano since
her fifth year, and, young as she Is, has
already improvised for her own pleasure.
She Is a little Russian Jewish maiden,
and with her dark eyes' and hair and
black-clad figure made a heart-whole ap
peal to the listeners.
Little Anna's father died but a month
ngo. To him the mother accords all
credit for tho accomplishment of the
little girl. He was most interested In the
progress of his daughter and prophesied
that she would have a brilliant future.
Before his Illness r.e would accompany
tho little Anna for her music lessons and
storing the instructions away in his
memory, would sit by the child as she
pent hours in practicing, watching her
progress and holding her to the teacher's
Injunctions. When he lay on his Blck
bed the only comfort he derived was
from bis daughter's music. Since his
death Anna's two sisters and brothers
have determined to work harder than
ever In order that her musical education
may be continued.
Among those who were Interested list
eners Sunday afternoon and who show
ered little Anna with candy and flowers
were Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Cowglll, who
first ' became interested in the child fc
ability; Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Klnsler, Mrs.
Charles T. Kountse, Mrs. S. 8. Caldwell,
Mile. Sophie Nalmska of Brownell Hall
Miss Anderson, Miss Weeks, Rabbi Fred

CONTEST ON BANGS
WILL ISJN COURT
Attorney Would Introduce Hiitor'y
of Nebraska to Prove Relation
ship of Contestants.
BANGS DECLARED COMPETENT
Hearing of the contest of the will of
tht iHle Stephen l. Bangs, Omaha plo-
, . ,
neer and capitalist, which was resumed
. , , . ,
yesterday In county court, developed an
Issue whether puhllsiiMl statements of
writers Including the Isle J. Sterling
Morton and other well knon men, con
cerning the Bangs family should le ad
mitted as evidence.
Attorney B. N. Robertsin offered the
historical statements In evidence to prove
relationship of Gilbert M. Bangs of New
York City and Ueorge II. Bangs of
Wayne, contestants who claim to be sec
ond cousins of the IhIo Omaha pioneer,
ho left large sums to charity and to
the Richard 9. Hall family, relatives by
marriage. He asserted that the writings
were of general Interest and should be
received In evidence.
Attorney J, W. Stout, representing tho
heirs uivier the will, objected. "It would
be the same If some man should write a
history about me and bind my heirs by
the statements It contained," ho declared.
"It would be different because there
wouldn't be any general Interest In you,"
said Mr. Robertson, soothingly, "Mf.
Banes was a rloneer of Nebraska."
"Well I will be a pioneer If I live long
enough," said Mr. Stout.
The question was left undecided and It
will come up later.
A deposition of Oilbert M. Bangs, In
which he described the ancestry of the
Bangs family, was Introduced In evidence.
Dr. A. 8. Mattson, who attended Mr.
Banga and witnessed the will, which was
written the day before his death, finished
his evidence. He testified that Mr. Bangi
was competent to make a will.
