Died- Mrs. Mary J. [George] Blue, aged 59 years at her home in Silver Creek precinct Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock, February 11, 1896.
Mrs. Blue's death was due to an accident. She was riding on a hay wagon, and the board she was sitting on broke and she fell to the ground, the wagon passing over her body at the hips. The injuries received were fatal, finally resulting in blood poisoning.
The accident happened two weeks ago last Tuesday. Mrs. Blue was over visiting her son. In the afternoon he hitched up to go after some hay. His mother desiring to go home went along. In crossing a bridge the wagon bumped breaking the board upon which Mrs. Blue sat. The lady falling to the ground. Dr. Nesbit of Tekamah was called and everything that human hands could do was done, from the time of the fatal accident until she was, called to go, by Him who calls us all.
Mrs. Blue was a noble woman and a highly respected lady. Not only was she a good mother and a loving and devoted wife, but a neighbor who won the highest respect from the community in which she lived. It seemed that her earnest life's work was to make others happy, live a "righteous life and die a noble death."
The funeral services were conducted at the Advent church a few miles west of her home. Rev. Stambaugh of York, this state. officiating. A large concourse of friends attended, and the remains were tenderly laid away in the Advent cemetery, a beautiful spot near by the church.
Biographical
Mrs. J. G. Johnson was born December 23, 1836 in Elyria, Lorain county, Ohio. At an early age she went to LaPorte Indiana to reside with her sister, Mrs. D. C. Griffin. While there she made the acquaintance of Geo. W. Blue whom she married January 4, 1857, making their home in LaPorte county. To this union four children were born, M. W., J. W., Chloe E. and little Willie Blue, the last named who left this world at the age of four years. In the year of 1878 Mr. Blue with his family came to Burt county Nebraska residing at their present home in Silver Creek precinct, ever since. The three older children married and settled in the immediate vicinity of the home thereby enabling them to enjoy the love and good council of a sincere Christian mother.
The bereaved husband and sorrowing children have suffered the greatest loss, that the mortal body is called upon to bear, yet a time is coming when all will be reunited; until then, "look up, not down" "look forward not backward." Their many friends realize the loss, for which perhaps their is no compensation, unless it be the hand of "Old Father Time." Still the lesson from this is a fruitful one and should awaken us to that sense of duty, that none of us have long to stay.
After all life is but a fitful dream. We live today and tomorrow we are dead.
