Feb. 14, 1936. "RUSH KAMMERER IS BURIED AT IMOGENE. Twenty Men Scoop Snow to Cemetery; Dig Grave in 3 Foot Frozen Ground".--Funeral services for Rush Kammerer, 71, long time resident of Mills County, were held at the Methodist church in Imogene, Thursday, February 13, in charge of the pastor, the Rev. O. F. Howard, assisted by the Rev. Thomas Dixon, pastor of the Reformed church. The sermon text was from Corinthians II. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. Wendell Stuelke, Mrs. Maude Bussard, the Rev. Thomas Dixon and Ermal McMichael of Shenandoah. Pallbearers were Ed Peterson, J.F. Maher, Joe Doyle, Heber Hillyer, Jess Smith and Wilbur Priest. On account of the big storm, a crew of twenty men worked to clear the road to the Kammerer home and to the cemetery. The snow banks dug out were from eight to ten feet high, and the men digging the grave were compelled to have extra help as the ground is frozen down over three feet. For sixteen weeks Mr. Kammerer has been confined to his bed with a lingering illness caused by the hardening of the walls of his stomach, but he patiently and courageously faced the great adventure, to which he looked forward and anticipated with peace and assurance. Mr. Kammerer was born at Zwingle, Ia., January 12, 1865, of German descent. His mother's maiden name was Salome Bussard. He was married February 27, 1890 to Effie Jane Trively at Imogene. To them was born a son, Joseph, a successful farmer in this section, who has resided with his parents, and has been a tower of strength to them through this period of suffering. In 1880, Mr.Kammerer united with the Reformed church. Later during a two-year residence in Shenandoah, he became a member of the Presbyterian church there, but after moving to the home at the farm, he united with the Methodist church at Imogene, under the pastorate of the Rev. Chris J. Soelberg. For forty one years, he has been a resident of this vicninty with the exception of one year at Shenandoah and one year at Imogene. He is survived by his wife and son, also three sisters, all of Imogene: Mrs. Sarah Gee, Mrs. R. Addy, Mrs. Leah Adams, and one brother, Mike Kammerer of Council Bluffs. Among relative from out-of-town present for the funeral were A. Foust and John Conkel of Red Oak, Mr. and Mrs. Lester K__?__, Mrs. George Spaulding, and Mrs. and Mrs. Allen Black of Shenandoah.

October 17, 1895. --The old union soldier is the first to extend the hand of forgiveness and charity to his honorable foe of the late rebellion. Every old soldier, both of the north and south, feel respect for a brave soldier, were he friend or foe, and a spirit of charity has grown in the breast of the northern soldier for the maimed and crippled boy in gray, and a resolution has been introduced in some G. A. R. Posts to the effect that southern soldiers be tendered the same privileges and rights in our soldier's homes that are given northern soldiers. This is a noble instinct, and instead of as some may think, that it is offering a premium for treason, it is an evidence of advanced civilization--in which kindness is to conquer the desire for evil, where love of mankind will rear a bulwork against a desire to destroy our nation. There are too few years left for the old soldiers of either side to waste in nursing spite and revengeful feelings. N.B.

November 4, 1920. "MRS JAMES MANN".--Death came to Mrs. James Mann Sunday afternoon, after an illness of several weeks. She was one of the real pioneers of this part of the country. She had lived in Hamburg since 1867 and had lived in this county since 1850. She saw the cornfields take the place of the open prairies and graded highways instead of the winding trails of early days. Of it all she was a part and in it all she had an interest. She contributed her might and strength to all movements she could see were for right development of the country and the better life of its citizens. Her kind are fast passing away. The conditions of pioneer times brought out the rugged moral as well as the physical qualities of people. The several generations represented at her funeral were an acknowledgment of the debt we owe to those who preceded us in this great land and did their part well. Hannah Lucas was born in Jersey county, Illinois, November 23, 1844, and died Sunday, October 24, 1920 at the age of 75 years 11 months and 1 day. She came with her parents to Nodaway county, Missouri at the age of one year. In 1850 the family moved to Fremont ocunty, Iowa, and for several years lived on a farm between Thurman and Sidney. She was married to James Mann October 9, 1862 at Plum Hollow, now known as Thurman, where they lived until they moved to Hamburg in 1867. Four children were born to this union, two girls dying in childhood. Her husband preceded her to the great beyond four year ago last August. She leaves to mourn her death one son, W.E.Mann and one daughter, Mrs. Nillie Dean, and husband, G. H. Dean of Hamburg. Two grandsons, James and George Dean, four sisters, Mrs. Mary Weaver of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Mrs. Minerva Taylor of St. Joseph, Missouri, and Mrs. Martha Lanning of Kansas and one brother, T. B. Lucas of Salida, Colorado. She was a granddaughter of Robert Lucas, the first governor of Iowa. Mrs. Mann joined the M. E. church in early life and has always been a constant and faithful member. She and her husband were among the pioneer members of this church in Hamburg and until late years when age was advancing their home was always open to the minister of the gospel. In her declining years she has not been permitted to attend the divine services as formerly but although she could not be present in body her heart was always with them. During her last illness she expressed her faith and readiness to meet her God when the summons came. N.B.: Her father was George Wasington Lucas, the illegitimate son of Gov. Robert Lucas. G. W. Lucas lived in Lacy Grove, northwest of Sidney, from where as a representative to the general assembly of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, her father introduced the bill which eventually moved the state capitol from Iowa City to Des Moines. Dr. William Dewey of Sidney presided over a meeting of the whole of the State Senate where he convinced his fellow senators who lived along the Des Moines River that a future capitol located at Des Moines would greatly enhance the importance of each senator's county. With this argument, the necessary votes were mustered to enable the bill to pass. A brother of George Washington Lucas, Napoleon Bonaparte Lucas, also lived in Jersey county, Illinois. It has always been my understanding that the official Lucas genealogy has never recognized these illegitimate sons of the Governor. However, county records in Ohio substantiate their birth. -- W.F.

February 25, 1910. "ANOTHER OF THE COUNTY's EARLIEST SETTLERS RESTS FROM HIS LABORS".-- Archibald Mann -- known and affectionately termed by everyone within the county "Uncle Arch" -- a pioneer settler of the county and one of the foremost farmers and stock breeders in Scott township, passed away his home two miles south of Thurman Tuesday night at the advanced age of nearly 82 years. His illness was of short duration, dating back to only last Thursday when he was stricken with pneumonia. Sunday his relatives became alarmed at his condition and the children living at a distance were called for. From that time he gradually grew worse until Thursday night when he gave up the ghost. Archibald Mann was born in Monroe county Va., in 1828 and was the third in order of birth in the family of 10 children born to Asahel and Elizabeth Greenlee Mann, both native of that state. When but 2 years of age his parents moved to Lancaster county, Ohio, and two years later to Hendricks county, Ind. In the fall of 1850 they moved to Wapello county, Iowa and a year later another move was made, this time to Fremont county, the elder Mr. Mann entering a quarter section of land six miles northwest of Hamburg. Deceased was educated in the rural school of the Hoosier state and later enjoyed a two year course at Asbury university, now called DePauw, at Greencastle. He afterwards taught school for a few years, remaining in his old home until he had reached his majority. He was married December 8, 1855 to Miss D. A. Williamson and the young couple settled upon the quarter section which was their home during all these succeeding years and which Mr. Mann purchased from the government for $1.25 per acre. By thrift and industry they gradually added to the original tract until at the present time the estate comprises some 500 or 600 acres of valuable land, all in a high state of cultivation. Nine children were born to this union, seven of whom together with their mother are left to mourn. He is also survived by a number of brothers and sisters, the best known of whom perhaps are Hon. Asahel Mann, ex-representative in the state legislature, who is a prominent farmer in Washington township, and James, a pioneer druggist of Hamburg. The funeral services will be held at the home this afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by Rev. Knoll, pastor of the Methodist church at Thurman, of which the deceased had long been a member, after which the remains will be escorted to Sidney for interment. Rev. W. H. Shipman, pastor of the Sidney Methodist church, will conduct the obsequies. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

April 1l, 1918. "Mrs. Edson H. Fichter". -- Mrs. Edson H. Fichter, whose maiden name was Alta Bentley, was born in Dane county, Wisconsin, September 27, 1866, and died at her home 4 1/2 miles southeast of Randolph early Saturday morning April 6, 1918. She was approaching the 52nd milestone in the journey of life, reaching the age when her plans for the years ahead contemplated the enjoyment of the fruitage of the previous years of activity and toil. Mrs. Fichter came to Iowa in the summer of 1887. That fall she taught the Spring Valley school and continued as its teacher for more than a year. She and Edson Fichter were married January 9, 1889. They immediately settled on a farm just west of their present home. They have always lived in that vicinity. It was 14 years ago that they came to the present farm. Mrs. Fichter was one of a family of six, of whom one sister, Mrs. Bert Young of Shenandoah, and three brothers, Emmet R. and Wayne Bentley of Madison, Wisconsin, and Fred Bentley of Minneapolis, Minnesota are still living. A few weeks ago her brother Wayne visited her. The sister and one brother, Emmet, were with her at the time of her death. Her husband, two daughters, Mabel and Edna, two sons, Corby and Edson, mourn the death of a devoted wife and mother. Mrs. Fichter was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Randolph. The funeral services were held at the church Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock conducted by her pastor, Rev. Peter Jacobs. Hymns that she loved so well were sung by a quartet. The pall bearers were six young men selected from their large circle of relatives. Mrs. Fichter was a most intense lover of her home. The members of the family received her constant ministry. The home was the sanctuary wherein she revealed the deeper thoughts, purpose and emotions of her life. Next to the home came her devotion to the church. She sought its ministry for the larger, fuller, richer life that it gave. She sought its ministry for the better expression of life it offered, for the larger service it made possible. The large attendance and the many floral tributes indicated the community recognized and appreciated the beauty of her character and the worth of her christian influence. Among those in attendance from a distance were Emmet R. Bentley of Madison, Wisconsin Mrs. Mary Chuan and daughter Jessie of Bellevue, Nebraska Mrs. Maggie DeCamp of Madison county, Nebraska Earl Fichter of Madison county, Nebraska Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Jenks of Emerson, Iowa Sergeant and Mrs. William J. Kilpatrick of Camp Dodge Mr. and Mrs. Peter Matson of Elliot, Iowa Mrs. and Mrs. George Somes and daughter Ida of Percival Mrs. Charles Sprout of Madison county, Nebraska Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

April 13, 1918. "Rulings Affects All Owners of All Autos. Driver Must Look to Safety and Make Effort to Avoid Collision, Says Judge Cullison".-- An important decision and one that affects every automobile owner in the State of Iowa, was handed down on Friday morning when District Judge Shelby Cullison instructed the jury in the ERNEST YATES - VS - WILLIAM CARTER law suit, wherein Yates was asking recovery of damages because of a wreck in which his car was badly demolished through crashing into a car driven by Carter, who was on the wrong side of the road. The accident happened east and south of Randolph about three miles some time early in March, 1917. Early during the trial the defendant's attorney, W. E. Mitchell, asked that the case be dismissed, claiming it was one wherein the doctrine of the last clear chance applied, alleging that the Yates car was damaged because of the contributory negligence of the plaintiff in not making the proper effort to avoid collision, regardless of the fact that the defendant was on the wrong side of the road. In letting the case go to the jury, Judge Cullison said where it was clearly shown the plaintiff made no effort to avoid a wreck, he could not instruct the jury to return a verdict permitting the plaintiff to recover, and when the testimony was taken evidence was developed showing the Carter car to be out of control, therefore the judge instructed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. Under this ruling, therefore, the burden of responsibility rests with every automobilist to avoid accident, and when this is not done, then the responsibility rests with the negligent party and damages cannot be recovered.
