"William T. Gagnebin".--William T. Gagnebin, an old-time resident of Sidney, but for the past 30 years a citizen of Omaha, died at his home in that city on Wednesday morning, May 24, 1916. Mr. Gagnebin retired Tuesday evening apparently in the best of health, but at 2:45 was seized with an attack of heart trouble and died a few minutes later. He is survived by his widow and five children: Wilba and Byron, Winfrey T., Mrs. C.A. Fried and Mrs. L.L.Hendricks, all of Omaha; brother Walter F. Gagnebin of Auburn, and four sisters: Mrs. Louise Burnett, California; Mrs. Anna Harmon, Mrs. Katherine Dutcher and Mrs. Geneva Reubsamen of Omaha. In 1863, when W. T. Gagnebin was two years of age he came to Sidney with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Gagnebin. His father for many years held the office of county surveyor. William grew up here and was educated in the Sidney schools. He married Miss Linnie Dutcher, a former resident of this city. As a man he is highly spoken of by his old acquaintances and by others who knew him in his later years. He never lost interest in his old home town or his old Sidney friends. He spent chautauqua week here last year and was a regular attendant at the sessions. His last visit here was made a couple of weeks ago when he came down to bid on the plans for the new high school building. He was a successful architect and was for several years in the regular employ of the Cudahy company in this line of work. He was an active member of the M. E. church and served as usher in the Sunday meetings in Omaha last fall. He attended every meeting and it gave him great pleasure to meet his friends from Sidney and be of service to them.He was a good man and leaves behind him a fragrant memory.
