Relatives and Neighbors Assisted
When Celebration Occurred
There was a happy gathering at the
home of Henry Nollkaemper. Jr., last
Sunday, when the head of the family
celebrated the sixty-ninth anniversary
of his natal day. The imediate neigh-
bors came, and with them their chil-
dren, the married daughters came,
and with them their children, and
when Henry commenced to count he
found he had twenty-two out of twen-
ty-five of his grand children to make
him take notice. But it all passed
pleasantly; there was an abundance of
good things to eat, and good cheer
prevailed throughout the entire after-
noon and half the night. Although
a little late. The Journal is still of-
fering its congratulations.

finished crop of corn and cotton, on ac-

Shortly after our brief mention of
his critical illness was made in our
last issue, Hans L. Eck, formerly of
this vicinity, gave up the struggle
and passed to his reward. He died
at the St. Joseph Infirmary at Hous-
ton, following a series of operations
performed in the effort to save his
life. *
The death of Hans L. Eck is but an-
other of those unfortunate occurrences
in the daily happenings, which create
so much sorrow and regret. We are
told that the deceased suffered greatly
but bore them with the greatest of
fortitude, fully in possession of knowl-
edge that the threads of life would
soon give way. It was a scene, at
his bedside, just prior to his demise,
tlfat melted all hearts. Hans called
to him his wife and children, and his
sister, Mrs. A. W. Meyer of this city,
and made the statement that “it would
soon end.’’ Bidding each a calm
good-bye, he turned to his side and
passed away.
As he had lived, so he died, loved by
those who knew him. He was bom
n£ar LaGrange, the third son of Dr.
and Mrs. A. H. Eck, and after reach-
ing manhood, taught school in this
and adjoining counties. His wife,
who was Miss Una Walker of Weimar,
and four small children, his aged par-
ents, three brothers, Louis and Edwin
of near LaGrange, and Hermann of
Schulenburg, and Mrs. A. W. F. Meyer
of LaGrange, are the chief mourners.
Besides these, the many friends he
had at Port Lavaca, his home, at Wei-
mar where he formerly lived, and
hereabouts, will mourn his going.
The remains were brought to our
city Friday and from the residence
of Mr. Meyer the funeral was held
Friday afternoon. The local lodge
I^aFayette No. 34, A. F. & A. M.„ up-
on advice received from the Port
Lavaca lodge, attended in a body.
Our sincerest sympathy is offered to
his mourning relatives.
