Mrs. T. F. HIGLEY was called to Glenwood Monday to see her father, William CLAPP, who was sick. He had been poorly for some time and passed away Tuesday noon. He had been a resident of this county a long time and was highly respected by all. We had known him about forty years and during that time we never heard anyone speak a harmful word of him. He would have been 92 years old in April. The body was taken to Concord, Neb., and laid to rest beside his wife.
