A nice little man
With pretty fair stomach
Hit it hard with the Coffee
And got little hummock
Right in the middle
Of his hard working liver
And the bottled up bile
Made the little man SILVER.

And the wise little chap
Thought he better quit the frolic
For it dealt him such rap
So the Coffee was let out

And piping cup Of Postum

Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1906-06-28
SUPPLEMENT- TO CUSTER COUNTY REPUBLICAN
Obituary.

VIM. B. Athey was born in
hitley county, Ind, Jan. Ia,
1854. He was the second son in
family of nine children.
When he was Is years Of age
he moved with his parents to
Jasper county, Ind, where he
grew to manhood. AT the age
of "a he was united in marriage
to Sarah A. Miller. To this
union was born sons and
daughter, all of whom are still
living, except Howard, the second
son, who preceded him into the
glory of the other world only
eight days. In the fall of 1882
he moved with his family, then
consisting of a wife and two
children, to Custer county, Ne
braska, and located near Gates
where he resided until 1896 at
which time in order to secure
better school privileges, he moved
to Broken Bow where he was still
living at the time of his death,
June IL, 1906.
In 1879 he united with the
Methodist Episcopal church and
has since been faithful support
er of that church.
He was a strong advocate of
temperance, always casting his
in influence on the side of right.
In his home he was kind and
loving yet demanding obedience,
and always anxious to render
assistance when he thought it
beneficial.
He was a man of strong consti-
tuition and his final illness was
brief.
On Wednesday morning, in his
usual good health, he had gone
to Gates, to settle the affairs of
his son Howard and while there
felt the symptoms of the same
disease that had taken Howard,
coming upon him. He fastened
home realizing his time here
was short and gave his family
his final instructions. He lost
consciousness before II o'clock
Thursday from which he partially
rallied on Saturday, only to again
sink into deep stupor in which
state he remained until Monday
evening, peacefully passing away
with the last rays of the sun.
Besides his own family he
leaves a father, three brothers,
and two sisters to mourn his loss.
Tho his place in the family
circle is vacant, and can never be
filled, our greatest consolation in
our loss is his gain. X
