NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 20 Mar 1908, Vol. 21 - No. 34 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1908/08mar20.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin June 06, 2002 =================================================================================== THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado J.H. Painter, Editor and Publisher 20 March 1908, Friday, Vol. 21 - No. 34 Page One L.P. Lewis returned Thursday from Ohio where he spent most of the past winter. IN MEMORIAM Eva Millicent, daughter of A.L. and Fannie B. Whitney, was born in Cook, Johnson County, Nebraska, and died March 11th, 1908 at the age of 11 years and 24 days. Thus passed away the spirit of one, who had lived but a few years in the flesh, to the higher sphere to suffer and die no more. We knew her as a sweet little girl who had her hopes and expectations like all others, but has been called on before and surely is now in that blessed realm of pure spirits, far above our present estate. “She is not dead, but sleepeth,” for spirits never die. “Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Rest on, little body, in the grave, till the Master calleth for thee to reunite with the spirit gone on before. In Jesus Christ all things are well. We bury the young body away, but only for a time; till the Lord calls and it will answer. We bid thee good bye for the present, only to meet in the morning. Good-bye, Eva, good-bye, and may God bless those who tarry awhile longer behind. -- J.T. Jenkins If you hear Marshal Kelly talking to himself as he walks the streets, do not be frightened for there is nothing the matter with him. He is simply talking to himself to see how it will sound to be called “grandpa” when that new grandson of his gets old enough to talk.

The funeral service for Eva Millicent Whitney was conducted from the home in Holyoke last Friday Rev. Jenkins preaching the sermon and the body was laid to rest in the Holyoke cemetery. A large number of sympathizing friends accompanied the little body to its last resting place. DIED - At the home of her parents in this county, on Wednesday, March 18, 1908, Elsie, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Redies, age one year, two months and 12 days. Little Elsie was taken with a violet attack of brain fever and lived only 36 hours. Funeral services were conducted from the home on Thursday March 19, Rev. Leitz preaching the sermon and the body was laid in the Holyoke cemetery. Holyoke has issued $10,000 in bond for water works and $5,000 more is asked to enlarge the capacity and improve the present water system. Another well and pump is needed to guard against a shortage of water in case of accident with the present pumping plant. With the additional $5,000, our water system will not cost one-third what Wray is asking the taxpayers of that town for putting in a water system and would not be half the bonded debt that Julesburg has recently incurred. Following is the program to be given by the pupils of the county eighth grade March 20. Proceeds to go to the gymnasium fund. Admission 10 cents. Music, Lillie Sederburg; essay, Ray Cauble; facts of American history; recitation, Coy Richardson; Little Blossom reading, Maggie Coffee; recitation, Burton Wilcox; an old fisherman’s story; son, Holyoke 8th grade; happy school days; current events, George Garland; recitation, Myrle Glover; the uprising; recitation, Arthur Johnson; how Tom Sawyer got his fence whitewashed; song, Holyoke 8th grade; music all around us; drill, boys of Holyoke 8th grade. We understand that the county board of county commissioners have decided not to take an appeal in the county bond case recently decided against the county in the United States Circuit Court. The Burlington attorneys who in the first instance, advised the county board to fight the payment of interest on the bonds have recently advised the board against taking an appeal from the decision in the circuit court. The fighting of the payment of these bonds have proven rather expensive litigation for the county. This case has been in the court for about 7 years and if the county instead of fighting the bonds, had, at the time the case was started taken steps to refund the bond debt at a lower rate of interest, which could have been done, the county would now be several thousand dollars better off than it is. A CARD - We wish to thank the many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our daughter, Eva, also for the beautiful floral offerings. -- Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Whitney and Daughter The Farmers and Teacher’s Institute in joint session March 13, passed the following resolution to-wit: Whereas, God in his Divine Grace has seen fit to bereave the home of our friend A.L. Whitney and family by the death of their beloved daughter, Eva Millicent, Therefore, be it resolved, that we tender our warmest sympathy and proffer our assistance in a time of need, Begging them to look up and trust the grace of God, we are their friends. -- A.C.
