After long and lingering sickness
Mrs. Geo. James of Elkhorn, answer
ed the summons of death last We'd
nesday week and now lies peacefully
at rest in the Elkhorn cemetery.
Mrs. James is one of Elkhorn's
earliest pioneers. She has ALWAYS
been interested in the upbuilding of
the young people of Elkhorn and
strong support for the college, keep
ing her hospitable doors open at all
times for the young people in school,
far away sometimes from those closer
home ties they longed for. She has
been loving, faithful wife, and the
husband of her youth who has been
by her side these years mourns for
her presence and help, and only time
can heal the deep wound. AS a
mother, she was an ideal. Seven
children, three sons and four daugh-
tiers, have grown to men and women
around her and have positions and
places Of influence to fill in this
world. She will be missed by the
whole community who join in grief
with the family.
All Elkhorn was shocked last We'd
nesday week when the people learned
of the sudden death of an old and
respected citizen, Nels Hansen, lust
south of town. All the family went
to Elkhorn that day to the con-
vention. They went in two buggies.
In the evening one of the boys think
ing it time to go home looked tor his
father but not finding him thought
he was perhaps at home with the
other brother. When the other
brother got ready to 60 he thought
the same as his brother and both went
home. A little later neighbor came
in and told them their father was
lying in the middle OF the road
Always back dead. A hurried
examination found this to be true.
He had started to walk the little
distance and rush of blood to the
head had killed him. He was 70
years old and one of the earliest
settlers in the community. He was
progressive and had much to do with
the growth and development of the
community and has ever labored for
its advancement. He was buried
Sunday in Elkhorn mourned by
every one.
