ALFRED NEWTON MACY
After nearly two years of suffering, with cancer, A. N. Macy of Osborne departed this life last Friday evening, aged 61 years. He was a native of North Carolina, his birthplace being in Guilford county. When he was five years old his parents moved to Nebraska and in 1871 to Cloud county, Kansas. Macyville, as the place was called in honor of Mr. Macy's father, was his home for a number of years. In May, 1884, he was married to Miss Laura Rushton, who with four of their five children, survives him. The family came to Osborne in 1904. Mr. Macy was a birthright Quaker, his parents having been members of the church of that faith, but he was not a member of any church at the time of his death. Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the family home in this city by Rev. J. W. Bates of the M. E. church, and the body was taken to Macyville for intement, which took place Sunday. He encountered all the problems, hardships and difficulties incident to farm life in pioneer days and his body will respose beneath the sod one mile east from his old homestead and where most of his active life was spent.
