Death Of Il Former Resident Of
This County.

The following, which is taken from
the Sterling, (Neb., } San, refers to a
former resident of Henry county, in
the person of Mrs. Sophia Rogge,
who is a sister of Mrs. Fred. Stock
man, of this city, and who resided in
Henry county about % years ago:
On Saturday morning of last week,
death claimed as its victim, Mrs. So
phia, wife of Henry Rogge. The fun
eral services were set for Sunday af-
ternoon at her late residence on San
ders creek and an excellent sermon
was preached by Rev. Souders, of the
Sterling M. E. church, in the pres
ence of very large number of the
neighbors and friend of the deceased.
About the time announced for her
burial, a telegram was received from
her two sisters, who reside in Ohio,
that they would be here on Monday
evening; so the interment was post
poned until Tuesday of this week.
Mrs. Rogge was known as noble
christian woman, beloved by all who
had the pleasure OF her acquaintance.
The last chapter of Proverbs from the
10th verse to the conclusion is word
picture of her life as testified to by
her acquaintance. The text used
for the funeral discourse aptly de-
scribed her Christian faith and life:
Kings daughters were among thy
honorable women For nearly
twenty years she had lived on the
farm where she died, and her neigh
bors were all her friends. She has
raised a large and respected family
who, with her beloved and kind hus-
band, she leaves to mourn her de-
mise.
An infant child, the birth of which
was probably the cause of her death,
was buried with it's mother. The de-
ceased was, at the time of her death,
little more than forty-six years of age,
being born in Germany, September
18th, 1949. During her lifetime she
was an ardent worker in the church
of her choice and was the president
of two Sunday schools, which were
held in the country school houses
near her home; one of which she at
tended each Sabbath morning and
the other in the afternoon. The writ
er had not the pleasure of her ac-
quaintance, but the death of one of
whom everyone speaks so well, can
not but be great loss to her family
and the society in which she moved
The San joins with host of friends
in extending to the bereaved husband
and children, its most sincere sympa-
thy, in this hour of their most sad af-
Fiction. While she has, no doubt,
gone to claim the reward of future
happiness, to which she was so much
entitled, she will be sadly missed from
the family circle.

The Deshler papers have occasion
to again rake their township school
board over the GOALS. It's not a
broom transaction this time, but a
swindle in the shape of $500 worth of
charts and maps, which the board
purchased of a Chicago firm, giving
in settlement a promise to pay year
hence, without interest, as the dis
trict had no funds in the treasury.
The whole transaction smacks of
Doodle, at the expense of the tax-pay-
ers of Bartlow township. Our newly
elected Republican county commits
sioner, Hill, is still q member of the
school board, and his name APP
pears on the record as favoring the
swindle. Mr.. Hill must reform, OF
woe be to the taxpayers of the county
when he takes his Office as county
commissioner.
