Read More	The Nelson Gazette (Nelson, NE), Thursday, April 29, 1920; pg. 7 CASHIER EGGERSS DIES AT LINCOLN HOSPITAL H.G. Eggerss died at 12:55 p.m. Monday at the Lincoln Sanitarium, where he was operated on Tuesday, April 6, for the removal of gall stones. A second operation, it seems, became necessary some three or four days before his death. Mr. Eggerss left for the hospital on the morning of April 6 in good spirits and high hope that surgical for several years brought on attacks science could remove the cause that (NOTE: typed as written in newspaper) that for suffering was almost equal to death's own agony. For a week after the operation his case was reported fair, but weakness instead of strength then developed and he lost the fight with the Grim Reaper. Monday morning early his son, Carl and stepson, Albert Goodwin, were notified by phone to come at once as their father was sinking rapidly. The boys boarded 98 at once, but were disappointed in not reaching the hospital before their father had passed away. He had breathed his last but three minutes before they reached his bedside. Mrs. Eggerss and son Chauncy were there, having been at Lincoln since about the time of the operation. Mr. Eggerss came to Lawrence about eleven years ago and was instrumental with the support of local parties in organizing the Lawrence State Bank whose affairs, as cashier, he has directed with marked success. He soon won the confidence of the community by his fine type of character and built the business up rapidly. He rugged honesty and unquestioned integrity impressed deeply those who dealt with him at the cashier's window and his kindly patient interest in the financial affairs to his patrons won a high regard for him in the hearts of those who trusted him as their banker. True to the trust imposed, Mr. Eggerss nevr (sic) violated a confidence imposed in him nor selfishly turned to his own account one cent that should have gone to another. Conservative, he managed the bank's affairs on his own initiative largely and the directory board feel in his demise that they most look long to repair the break adequately and satisfatorily (sic). Mr. Eggerss was serving on the school and town boards at the time of his death. He was a member of the Odd Fellow and Woodmen lodges. Flowers were ordered from Omaha to Shelby, Iowa, where the funeral was held, by Board of Directors, Lawrence State Bank, Miss Forst, assistant cashier; school faculty and classes; Ladies Club; Modern Woodmen, and business men. The selections were indeed beautiful as expressing to the bereaved wife and sons their sympathy in the sad hour of their great grief, as well as a testimony of the high esteem in which the departed was held by home friends and associates. Mr. Eggerss was 55 years of age. He grew up as a young man in the vicinity of Shelby, Iowa, where he worked as a farmer. On leaving there he located at Angus, this county, where he engaged in the mercantile business for several years, selling out there when he moved to Lawrence. Besides the wife, two sons, two step sons, there survive deceased, a sister and brother at Byron, a sister at Ruskin, a brother and sister in California and a brother at Avoca, Iowa. The funeral was held at Shelby, Iowa, Thursday, where burial was made. - Lawrence Locomotive. Contributor: Peggy Bargen Duey
