Robert M. freeman

Died, at his home, near Dynard,
Robt. NJ. Freeman, age ~ years.
He was a man of excellent habits,
fine moral character, and sturdy con-
stitution, and he continued 10 be ac-
tive in his accustomed pursuits till
long past the age at which men
ordinarily drop out of the ranks of
the workers 70 this end there is
no doubt that his happy dis
position largely contributed. He
was practical, mater-of-fact man,
but had his own peculier way of ex-
tracing merriment from life as he
went along, and he was not dis
posed to worry about matters that
could be bettered in others ways.
This cheerful spirit remained with
him to the last.
He was invariably good
neighbor, and there was no happier
family circle in the land than his.
When he died, full of years, and
ready to be gathered to his fathers,
the grief that was felt over the close
of his long career was widespread
and sincere His best monument will
bethe good report that he has left be-
hind him in the community in
which he has lived for more than
seventy years.
He was member of Mosby's
Cavalry Command and was conspi-
cious for his bravery even among
that courageous band. He leaves
surviving a widow and two children,
boy and a girl, to whom we extend
our heartfelt sympathy. He was
buried at Sacred Heart Cemetery
Wednesday last, May he rest in
peace!

Whereas, The intimate relation
held during the past ten years by
him with the members Of the Board

IN aid of our Board work by coun-

Resolved That the removal of
such man from our Board in
which he held a prominent position
leaves a vacancy and shadow
which will be deeply realized by
the members of this Board and the
friends Of this institution and will
prove grevious loss to this Bank
and our community.
Resolve, That with deep synpa-
thy for his afflicted family and the
friends of the deceased, we express
an earnest hope that even SO great
bereavement may be- oyerruled for
their hg hcst good.

ms ORGrN AND MEANING. F"
When our Pilgrim Fathers FIRST
landed in the country they were con
fronted by wilderness which they
found it necessary 70 conquer in or
der 10 have space for dwellings and
crops. For years this destruction
went on, and il was not until very
recent that the people began to rea-
lie that without strict measures
We would soon become nation
without forests. The honor of be-
ing the originator of Arbor Day be-
longs 70 the Hon. ! sterling Nor
gan, the Governor of Nebraska.
In the prairie stale Of Nebraska,
one happy April morn.
on 'aiT dag In spring time,
our "Arbor Day ~as horn.
i, was at the annual meeting Of
the Nebraska State Board Of Agri-
culture, held in Nebraska, January
1872, that good Morton offered a
resolution setting apart day in
April TO be devoted 20 tree planting
"The rfairica were green aud grassy,
Like beautiful blllowy seas.
Hut the people ia vain were longing
For sight Of tho ioafy trees.
Since tho first Observance of Ar
Dor Day the people Of Nebraska have
planted millions of trees, and former
treclcss wastes are covered with
small forests and beautiful groves.
The object of Arbor Day is TO
cause trees and shrubs 10 be planted
on highways aud public grounds,
and 10 pat in the childrens mind a
sentiment against the awful waste
that has been going on for years
in our forest regions. The idea
met with public approval and each
State and Territory Of the Union
now observes Arbor Day.
"And wise good GOV. Morton,
OH did he understand.
That the beautiful plan be started,
Would spread DER ali the land"
Tin in many state Of tho Union,
Myriad trees would spring
In beautiful shining aplendor,
Hin honor and praise 20 sing.
Many years ago the people only
recognized the money value Of the
trees. Now they are beginning Ia
see the value that trees have IN His
tory and in Art, as Peter Stuyyes-
ants Pear Tree, the Treaty Elm at
Philadelphia, The Liberty Elm a,
Boston, The Charter Oak of Hart
ford, Washington Elm at Cam
bridge and III many others.
Now listen nom the forest
Each one n message sends,
Even tiny pines and cedara.
We trees are your best friends.
