In Memoriom

Death in its saddest form entered our home on Wednesday night at 11:35, August 15, and claimed our beloved husband, and father, John F. Albin, editor and publisher of this paper. He was taken ill with appendicitis on Wednesday, August 8, and was taken to the David City hospital Friday morning. By that time an examination revealed that a surgical operation would be of no benefit, as spreading peritonitis had set in, it being the final cause of his death.

He was born on a farm in Benton county, Iowa, September [illegible] 1861, where he lived with his parents until nine years of age, when they removed to a farm near Lincoln. He later spent about ten years on a farm in Seward county.

For about thirty years Mr. Albin had been in the newspaper business al of that time being in Nebraska. His first paper was the McCool Record at McCool Junction, and from there he went to York, where he published the York Democrat. In 1896 he removed with his family to David City, and for ten years was editor of the Peoples Baner. In 1906 he disposed of the Banner and moved to Harlan county where he bought the Chronicle at Orleans. After six years at Orleans, most of that time on a farm, he returned to David City and for the next six months was employed on The People's Banner. In August 1914 he purchased The Brainard Clipper, which he owned at the time of his death.

He was united in marriage to Nancy Robbins, February 28, 1892, at Exeter, Nebraska.

He leaves to mourn his departure his wife and seven children, as follows: Sister Mary Alban, of Bisbee, Arizona; Sister Mary Leon, of St. Charles, Missouri; Mrs. Marie Moyers, living near Ulysses; Francis, James, Constance and Mildred living at home. He also leaves four brothers and one sister, Dan of Texas, Will of Washington, Jerry of Oregon, and Oscar Albin of Norcatur, Kansas. His sister, Mrs. Mary Trumble, of Lincoln, and brother Oscar and wife were present at the funeral. Other relatives present from away were Bert Robbins and wife of Fairmont, a brother of Mrs. Albin, H. R. Hill and daughter, Carmen, of Exeter, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Albin and Mrs. and Mrs. John Bernero of Lincoln, Mrs. Bernero being a niece of Mr. Albin.

He was a member of the Modern Woodmen and Knights of Columbus Lodge, the latter having charge of the funeral services which were held at St. Mary's Catholic church, Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at David City and burial was in St. Mary's cemetery. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Father Cullen of York. The pallbearers were Messrs. Adolf Klein and J. W. Pazdersky of Brainard, Leo Pryor, Peter Meysenburg and Theo. Brochtrup of David City and John Kirchner of Bellwood. Frank Trotter, A. V. Thomas, R. A. Bennett, C. F. Clark, J. F. Zeilinger, and C. W. Bennison were honorary pallbearers.

On the eighth of June, twenty-seven years ago, our dear husband and father suffered a stroke of lightning and most of the time thruout his life, until six years ago, had felt the effects of this stroke.

He bore all his sufferings with the utmost patience and in perfect silence, passing to his maker without an ill feeling towards any one. His humble home was his idol, and to make it agreeable, homelike and happy was his greatest work and how well he performed that duty, no one but his stricken family can tell.

Card of Thanks

On behalf of myself and family, I wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the countless friends that extend such valuable sympathy and assistance during our late bereavement, and for the many beautiful floral offerings. Your kindness at such a terrible hour was to us beyond price and when that hour comes to you, and yours know and feel that smae kind sympathy, is the prayer of all of us all. Mrs. J. F. Albin and family.
