MARCUSSON, William
William Marcusson
of New
William Marcusson, farmer of near New Boston,
met death Monday afternoon in a tragic accident, when his tractor overturned
and pinned him beneath a wheel.
His son, Maurice, and a brother-in-law, Glen Cohoon,
were driving a car near the Marcusson place. The car became stuck in the mud, and they
went to the field to get Mr. Marcusson to use his
tractor in pulling the car out.
They found him lying in a deep ditch, the large tractor on its side with
one wheel almost covering Mr. Marcusson’s body. It was impossible to remove the heavy machine
until several neighbor men were called in.
It is thought that as he plowed, he looked back to watch the plows, and
the soft dirt banking the ditch suddenly gave way. Apparently the accident had occurred only a
short time before discovery of the body.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Christian church in
New Boston. He is survived by his wife,
three children, and other relatives.

MOORE, Raymond Floy
The funeral of
the little son of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Moore was held October 23rd at 3 o’clock
from the home of the parents of little Raymond Floy,
and was attended by a large number of the friends of the family, who all feel
keenly the death of this lovable little boy, whose lifetime filled only the
space of seven months and twenty eight days.
His death is a very severe blow to the parents and grand-parents and in
this their hour of grief, they will receive the deepest sympathy of the entire
community. The services were conducted
by Rev. D. L. Dunkleberger of the Christian church,
who delivered a very touching sermon of the little one, who had been called
home to his maker before the sorrow and troubles of the world had come to him,
and of the great love that the Master had shown for the innocent babe in his
lifetime on earth. The choir of the
Methodist Church under the direction of Mrs. E. H. Wescott,
sang very sweetly two of the well loved old hymns, whose melodies fell as balm
on the hearts of the sorrowing relatives and friends as the form of the little
babe was borne away to its final resting place in Oak Hill
cemetery.—Plattsmouth Evening Journal
