OBITUARY, FREDERICK RENARD JR. Frederick Renard Jr. was born in Washington County Nebraska, August 31, 1863 and died at his country home five miles southeast of Arlington, November 6, 1930, aged 67 years, 4 months and 5 days. Mr. Renard's entire life was lived in this community and he died within a few miles of the place of his birth. In March 1891 he was united in marriage with Margaret Abraham, and to this union were born six children, one having died in infancy. Three sons and two daughters have grown to manhood and womanhood, and mourn the loss of a devoted father. The children are; Edward J., Walter A., Otto A. and Misses Estella and Elizabeth. There are also eight grandchildren. Mr. Renard was a member of a family of eight, four sisters and four brothers. Of this number only two survive, - his sister, Mrs. Nettie Jungbluht [sic; Jungbluth], Clark, S.D. and Mr. Gustave H. Renard, Wausa, Nebraska. The good wife and mother preceded him in death nine years ago, and since that time the children have conducted the home. Mr. Renard's life was that of a Nebraska farmer. He passed through all the changes that have been experienced during the years since 1863, and saw this part of Nebraska improve and develop into the beautiful agricultural country it is today and he had his definite part in helping to realize these splendid results. He tried to make his surroundings beautiful and desirable and life worth the living. The large gathering at the funeral and the many beautiful floral offerings bespoke the high place he occupied in the regard and esteem of the community and surrounding country. He was a fine man and had a wide circle of friends. Several years ago he became a member of the Congregational church at Arlington, Nebr. and was always interested in its program and helped to promote its interests. He has gone before some of his associates who for these many years have companioned together, but in their affections and memories he will continue to live. The funeral was held from the late home Sunday afternoon Nov. 9th at 2 o'clock conducted by Dr. Raymond C. Swisher. Interment was made in the Elk City cemetery. =========================================================== The three newspaper articles below were contributed to Frederick RENARD Jr.'s Memorial by L.
