JEFF ROSENBAUM DEAD

The death of H.J. Rosenbaum, who lived on a farm a couple of miles west of Kennard on the Arlington road, will be sincerely regretted by all who were acquainted with him. He was a sterling citizen, an honest, upright, unselfish loyal man in whom everybody had implicit confidence. His death occurred at Nicholas Senn hospital last Monday, where he had undergone a critical operation sometime since for a hopeless case of cancer. Our Kennard representative promises an obituary for next week.

They moved to Washington county, Nebr., in Oct. 1871 and located at Ft. Calhoun and lived there until 1883 when they moved to the present home west of Kennard where they resided until his death.

To this union were born seven sons and four daughters: Mrs. Carrie French; Joseph, Buck and Mrs. Mae Peterson, living near Kennard; John and Jesse D., of Spokane, Wash.; Mrs. Nannie Robertson, of Broken Bow; Mrs. Mattie Hotaling, of Goltry, Oklahoma; H.B. and A.D. Rosenbaum, of Omaha; Guy, the baby, died at the age of 3 years. The family were all present at the funeral, which was from the M.E. church last Friday, Rev. Williams officiating.

The large attendance, despite the weather and roads, showed the esteem in which Mr. Rosenbaum was held. The M.W.A. and W.O.W. lodges of this place attended in a body and the K.P. lodge at Blair was represented by twenty-five members. Mr. Rosenbaum will be greatly missed by everyone. All say he was a true friend and a good neighbor, this is the highest praise that can be given anyone.

Mrs. Rosenbaum and her family wish us to thank all who so kindly helped in their hour of sorrow, especially do they thank the K.P. lodge at Blair for their assistance in making the change at Blair, and the Woodmen lodges here, for their help and assistance and for all the beautiful flowers.
