Even then it took the coming of his son Arlie from his home in Kansas to force upon us the realisation that one of the very early settlers of his valley was about to the end of the race. And yet, when it was reported about town Saturday morning that he had passed away the evening before it was a shock to some of us, as death always has been and always will be. The funeral was held at the Christian church Sunday afternoon, April 26 with the pastor Robert B. Smith in charge. A,mixed quartette consisting of George Young, Mrs. George Steinhoff, Miss Nora Wood and A. C. Davis did the singing, the songs being "Someday I'll See Him Face to Face," “In the Sweet By and By" and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Mrs. Rex Till was at the piano. Rev. Smith used the ninetieth Psalm scripture lesson and Brethren the time is short," First Corinthians, seventh chapter and twenty-ninth verse as the text from which, he gave a good sermon especially designed as food for the thought the living. Following the last song the people viewed the body which was then taken to the Sargent cemetery for interment, We are indebted to Rev Smith for the following obituary. J. T. Sillivan J. T. Sillivan second son of M. H. Sillivan was born in Monroe County, Indiana November 13, 1856 and died at his home six miles northwest of Sargent, Nebraska April 24, 1925 aged 68 years, 5 months and 11 days. He was united in marriage to Elizabeth Toffermeyer at Carmen, Indiana September 5, 1878. He with his wife came to Nebraska in the spring of 1880 and in the Fall of that year took on a homestead four miles northeast of Sargent. He was one of the pioneers of Custer county and with his family went through privations and hardships that went with the developing of a new country. There were born to Mr. and Mrs. Sillivan, six children four boys and two girls, all of whom are living at this time. Everette F. Mrs. Ora D Watson and Ralph, who live in the vicinity of Sargent, Nebraska; Arlle E. of Norcatur, Kansas; Stella May Bevington of Council Bluffs, Iowa; and Floyd of Parco, Wyoming. In March of 1919 Mr. Sillivan was thrown from the wagon at Comstock and received an injury to his shoulder and spine from which he never recovered, and which finally caused his death. He had since the accident been a great sufferer throughout those years, and during the past few months the suffering had been so intense it seemed he could not bear it. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, the six children, and twenty seven grandchildren, six brothers and two sisters, along with many other relatives and friends. We feel constrained to speak here of the devotion of his wife during the years of his suffering for the greater part of the burden of caring for him has fallen upon her, but through it all she has worked hard and patiently to relieve his suffering and supply his every want. Surely she will not lose her reward
