HUMPHREY
From the Democrat

From the Democrat
Jacob Fisher recriv-d telegram Las,
Friday afternoon conveying the al in
telligence Of the death IL Itobt Moack-
Ter which occurred ut hospital in Los
Angeles, California. Mt one O'Clock that
day. Word hal been received u few
days before that Robert had submitted
to an operation for appendicitis and lat
or came the information that he was in a
serious condition and Sd Humphrey peO-
pie were prepared in way to receive
the news Of his death, yet the announce
ment created the utmost surprise, be-
cause Roberts healthy physical condl-
ton was considered sufficient to pull him
through. We doubt il there was ever q
death which caused more profound sOr-
row among the people Of Humphrey
than the death Of Robert MOsckler. He
was highly regarded by all his scquAin-
iances for his manly traits Of character;
brave and generous, he WAS one Of ba.
lures nOblemcn in The truest sense.
1t is with extreme sorrpw that the
Democrat is called upon this week to
chronicle the death of Nlrs. Geo. w.
Clark, which occurred Mt her home in
Pasadena, California. On Wednesday Of
last week. IT, news Of her death came
as great shock 10 the many friends 81
the family in Platte county, and until
Of her death came from
friends nj Pasadena, were our people
willing to believe that the jovisl and light
hearted Mrs. Clark was no more in this
land Of living Mrs. Clark visited Hum
phrcy friends several days last summer
and it seemed she was unusually bright
and cheerful. A few months ago Mr..
CLARK had Sigh: stroke of paralysis.
but We understand he had completely re-
covered from the effects Of his illness. and
it was known that Mrs. Clarkis health
was not the best for a few weeks past,
but her illness was such rs to not cause
any alarm on the part Of her husband.
