c. LOEBSACK
.PASSESAWAY
He leaves a wife and Six
Small Children; Four
Boys and Two Girls.

George H. Loebsack died suddenly
at his home near Taber last Thurs
day evening, October 25. Mr.. Loeb
sack had been feeling badly for some
time, but was not considered in a SER
ious condition, and had retired as
usual, and passed away with prac-
tically no noise. 1t is thought that
Mr.. Loebsack had received some in
jury to his chest, having been struck
by the crank of threshing machine
engine, when it backfired, on the
fourteenth Of September, and on the
fourth of October, assisted in repair
ing the engine, and did considerable
heavy lifting, both Of which, it is
thought, brought him to his untimely
end.
George II. Loebsack was born in
Russia on December 16, 1888 and
came to the United States when nine
years old, landing in Hastings, Neb-
raska, where he lived for several
years, and where he met his wife,
then Miss Ida Griem, and was mar
ried January %, 1904. In 1908 they
moved to Waterville Washington,
coming to Bingham County in 1911,
and located on farm near Taber,
where the family have since resided.
Eight children have been born to this
union, five boys and three girls. Two
have preceded the father to the grave,
leaving four boys and two girls liv-
ing. Besides a wife he leaves IA
ther, mother, four sisters and one
brother, living at Waterville, Wash
ington.
The body was shipped to Water
vile, Washington, Tuesday, where
burial will be made, after which Mrs.
Loebsack and children will return to
their home near Taber.
Mr.. Loebsack was a diligent worker
and loving father and husband. The
family have the sympathy of the en-
tire community.

members of the Auxiliary, met at the
| home of Mrs. Dan Brill to discuss the
| play, Clarence" which the Auxiliary

ing plays in Boston, in addition to
special dramatic work in Northwest
ern University, and won high honors
in her coaching in the east, and in
