John Renner, who is so well known as “Dad” and who has been residing at the soldier’s home at Leavenworth, Kan., is now home to enjoy the time with his children during the holidays. Mr. Renner is looking fine and is well pleased with his treatment at the home, where the old boys in blue are looked after by the federal government. He also reports that Joseph H. Smith of this city, who is also a resident at the home, is doing nicely and that he is fat and sassy. “Dad” dropped into the Journal office last evening to enjoy a short visit and we were very much pleased to enjoy the short visit with him. Plattsmouth Journal, Sept. 6, 1917 Mrs. W.L. Renner and children, and Mrs. Renner's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Herron, motored up to Plattsmouth Saturday afternoon for a short visit with friends. While here Mrs. Renner called at this office and had her subscription extended for another year. Plattsmouth Journal, April [unclear], 1918 WERE BOTH SEVERELY WOUNDED IN BATTLE OF SHILO TWO PLATTSMOUTH CITIZENS FOUGHT SIDE BY SIDE IN THE CIVIL WAR. More Than Fifty Years Have Now Elapsed, but the Recollection is Fresh in Their Minds. >From Monday’s Daily. Yesterday, the writer dropped into the Burlington station just before the afternoon train went east to see what the traveling public was doing, and found two of our dear old friends there telling of the time which has long since passed – of the battles of Pittsburg Landing and of Shiloh, which were fought fifty-six years ago Saturday and yesterday. These men, now aged as we count life, were then in the prime of their young manhood and filled with enthusiasm for the cause. They are Justus LILLIE and Uncle John (Dad) RENNER. They were both in the battle and each received a wound. The battle, which lasted two days, was not without its effect in the ultimate outcome of the war, and although the northern forces were sorely beaten the first day they rallied on the next and with the aid of reinforcements, were able to carry off the honors. The first day of this battle was the 6th day of April, 1862, and it was on this day that the southern army drove the federal forces back with such rapidity that they nearly pushed them in to river. This was largely due to raw recruits being used in the northern army and the divisions were badly broken up and scattered. A detachment [illegible] – would, however, be detailed in hold back the rebel forces as long as possible while the troops were formed into a semblance of an army aga! in, and thus the fighting continued until nightfall. By the morning of the 7th of April, General Buell had arrived with reinforcements and the result was the battle went against the rebels. Albert Sidney Johnson was in command of the rebels while Generals Grant and Sherman were in command of the union troops. The reinforcements which Buell brought up gave the northern side greater numbers, although the main advantage was in the troops which came to [article torn] being more seasoned fighters. The confederates were driven to Corinth, and the battle won by the Union troops. In the battle the Union troops lost in killed 12,573 men and the losses of the Confederates were 10, 699. “Dad” RENNER was wounded in the left arm and suffered a slight scratch across his waist line, the bullet cutting the waist band of his trousers as he was standing sidewise to the direction from which the shot came, and passed through his left arm near the elbow. Justus Lillie was wounded on the top of his left shoulder near the collar bone. The wounds of both these men were so near serious that the excitement was intense, especially when so many men were being killed, dropping on every side. These two jolly comrades were talking and laughing about the battle yesterday, but then it is now more than fifty years removed from the present day, and the war of the rebellion has been a matter of history for a half century.

PEOPLES PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING [front page] This morning after an illness covering the past three weeks, Mrs. N.K. PEOPLES passed away at her home in this city, and her passing brings to the sorrowing husband and little children a sense of deep grief in the loss of their loved one. Mrs. Peoples has not been in the best of health for the past several years and had been gradually failing, but it was not until the last three weeks that her condition became critical, and as the days wore on it was evident that she was soon to be taken from the family circle, but during the long period of suffering she bore with fortitude the pain and sickness, hoping that she might live for those whom she loved so dearly and be spared to care for the little ones. Mrs. Peoples during the time she had, made her home in this city , made many friends by her splendid traits of character and her life had been devoted to the family circle and the close friends whom she held so dear. To mourn her death there remains the husband and three small c! hildren, Anna, Norris and Ruth. One brother, J.R. RUMMERFIELD, of this city, is left to share the grief at her death. The body will be taken to Watson, Mo., Friday morning, where it will be laid to rest in the cemetery near the old home where the departed had spent so many happy years. In their hour of grief and sorrow, the family will receive the deepest sympathy of the many friends in the loss that has rendered the home disconsolate. Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, December 4, 1916 FUNERAL OF MRS. N.K. PEOPLES FRIDAY AFTERNOON [front page] The Remains of This Good Lady Were Conveyed to her Old Home at Watson, Mo., for Interment. >From Saturday’s Daily. The funeral of Mrs. N.K. PEOPLES was held yesterday afternoon from the late home where she had been called from just a few brief days ago, and the many friends in the community joined in paying their last tribute of love and respect to the memory of this estimable lady. The body was taken this morning on No. 4 to Pacific Junction, and from there over the Burlington to Watson, Mo., where the interment was made this afternoon. At the home the services were in charge of Rev. T.A. TRUSCOTT, pastor of the Methodist church, with which the departed lady had long been a most faithful and devout member, and the pastor in his remarks brought to the family as sense of resignation in the loss that had been visited upon them. During the services a number of the old familiar hymns were given by a quartet composed of Mrs. Mae MORGAN, Miss Leona BRADY, Jesse PERRY, and Don C. YORK, while Mr. York gave a solo, “He Leadeth Me,” as the minister read the beautiful burial service. The floral remembrances were beautiful and expressed the feelings of regret that the death of this lady has occasioned. Rev. Truscott accompanied the family and the body to Watson for the services there. Ella Adeline REMMERFIELD was born in Sonora, Atchison county, Missouri, April 28, 1873. She died in Plattsmouth, Neb., November 29, 1916 at the age of 43 years, 7 months and 1 day. She united with the Methodist Episcopal church when she was but 15 years of age and remained a sincere and devoted Christian during her life. She was united in marriage to N.K. PEOPLES at Watson, Mo., on August 10, 1892. To this happy union were born four sons and four daughters. Five of the children God has called home to be with Him. There remain to mourn the loss of the mother but three, Anna Adeline, Norris King, and ruth Elizabeth. These with the father will surely greatly miss the mother that was always good, and so patient. As mourners, there are but two other near relatives besides the husband and children, they are a brother and a sister of the deceased. The brother is Joseph R. Rummerfield of this city. The sister is Mrs. M.A. HAVENS, who lived in Seneca, Kan. After Mrs. People’s took to her bed, one day she called her husband and told him she thought she was going to die. She said she was not afraid to die but dreaded the ordeal. She made all the necessary arrangements for her own funeral, even directing her husband as to how the children should be dressed. She said she would like to have been spared to raise the children, but she committed them to the care of God and her husband. She advised her husband that he could only raise the children properly by trusting in God. She regretted much that her failing health prevented her from attending church and helping as she would like to do and used to do. Her sweet voice had often been used at funerals to soften the blow to the bereaved and point them to God for comfort. She Rests. She resteth now. Nor more her breast Heaves with its weary breath; Pain sits no longer on the brow Where lies the calm of death. Sunk to her rest like a tired child, She lies in slumber deep, Soft folded in the arms of Him, Who “giveth His beloved sleep.” Nay, doth she rest? Not day nor night She resteth not from praise; Her spirit wing’d with rapture, knows No more earth’s weary ways; But ever toward the Infinite Her flight on, upward, does she keep, For He gives active tirelessness Who giveth His beloved sleep.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Philip E. TRITSCH west of the city was the scene of a very pleasant Hallowe’en frolic on Tuesday evening, which was a grand success in every way and the source of a great deal of pleasure to all those who were present. The guests on arriving at the scene of the festivities were received at the entrance by “his satanic majesty and attendants” and ushered through to a wonderful scene in the woodland, where witches and black cats held full sway. The rooms of the house were decorated in autumn leaves and Hallowe’en colors of black and orange, and with the mystic Jack o’lanterns. One of the most attractive features during the evening was the witches’ cavern, in front of which boiled the magic caldron, and where the fate of the guests was revealed by an old witch. The guests on their arrival, at once proceeded to have the time of their lives. The house was packed to its utmost capacity, about fifty cars bein! g parked in the yards. Mrs. Glen HAWKENBERY received the prize for the best Hallowe’en costume. Mr. URISH assisted by a number of other musicians, furnished the most delightful music for the occasion. Going through the haunted cave proved one of the big attractions of the evening and as it was in the nature of a mystic maze it caused a great deal of excitement and interest to the guests and a great deal of enjoyment was derived from this feature. Both financially and socially the affair was a huge success. The proceeds amounted to $36.45, which will be used for improvements at Faiview [sic] school, of which Miss Barbara PTAK of this city is the teacher, and although it is her first year she has been very successful in handling the school.

Miss Eda Marquardt: I have had many invitations to be with my old pupils and friends at the school phase of the ‘Home Coming’ time. Sorrowfully I have written each that an institute engagement would not permit it. When I found yesterday that Prof. BROWN was to be with you, I thought, ‘Why couldn’t we swap work?’ I spoke to him. He is willing and thinks it a good move. I laid the matter before Supt. WEBER this morning. He most heartily approves. Now are you willing to grant this favor to your old friend who is so anxious to mingle with the boys and girls of other days? I promise you I’ll get on my toes and give you the best speeches I ever made, as many as Brown is down for Friday. I will pay all the extra expense we are both too [sic] in the change.
