The City Hotel was hardly large enough to contain Landlord
Stommel Monday, all because a young son and heir was born to him.
Fred felt so elated that he hardly knew whether he was waiting on
tables or collecting the usual $1.50 per day.
The country home of our friends, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Rowe, is now
gladdened by a bright little boy baby, who will celebrate the
29th day of March as his birthday. Here's our "hats
off" to H. E., and may his days be many.

Obituary
Mrs. Herbert E. Rowe. Died - At her late home in this township,
April 5, 1893, after a short illness, Mrs. Herbert E. Rowe, aged
30 years and 28 days.
Isabella Holmes was born in Clayton county, Iowa, March 7, 1863,
first coming to Sac county in 1883. After teaching school for a
time she went to Cedar county, Nebraska where she was united in
marriage with Herbert E. Rowe and came to Sac county where she
resided at the time of her death. She was the mother of three
children, two of which with her husband are left to mourn her
loss. Her death was very sudden and only one of her relatives, a
sister, was able to be present at her funeral. The bereaved
husband has the sympathy of the community. His loss is her gain.
She united with the Baptist church in Schaller in 1887, and lived
a consistent christian life and died triumphantly in Jesus.
The funeral was held at the late home, Thursday, April 6, and the
services were conducted by Rev. Brown, pastor of M. E. church.
The house was crowded to overflowing and many were unable to
secure admission. A large concourse of sorrowing friends followed
the remains to their last resting place. Into the wifeless and
motherless home of our brother we desire to come with sincerest
sympathy and friendly goodwill, and hope that after a time the
good angels of hope and peace may lead all this pleasant family
into the sunshine of expectancy concerning the pledge of an
eternal reunion in God's great "by and by".
