Peter VanBuren, one of our oldest and esteemed citizens, passed away at his home in Elmwood at an early hour last Sunday morning. His illness was of short duration, and his death, therefore, quite a shock to his friends and relatives. Medical aid was summoned as quickly as possible when it was known that his condition was dangerous, but nothing could resuscitate the frail spark of life that still lingered. Mr VanBuren was born Dec 7, 1831, in Springfield, Otsego County, N.Y. He was married to Miss Ann M. Kinney November 1, 1853; moved to Illinois December 20, 1865, and emigrated to Nebraska in a covered wagon in October 1878, settling on the farm in Otoe County where he lived until removing to Elmwood.
Deceased leaves to mourn his departure six children, two sons and four daughters, and five sisters and four brothers. He was a kind and affectionate father and a friend to all in need, and a loving brother to the sister who took care of him in his declining years. Funeral services were held from the home on Tuesday, interment taking place at Pleasant Hill cemetery beside the grave of Mrs VanBuren, who died in 1902. Many old time friends and neighbors were in attendance at the funeral. We wish to express our sincere thanks to the many friends and neighbors who so kindly extended their sympathy and aid in our time of need, also for the beautiful flowers so freely given. The Family
