Mr. Sample was one of the early settlers of Nance county, and for the past thirty years or more has lived on the farm where he died, with the exception of a few years that he lived in Wolbach. They returned to the farm about three years ago, and their son Cecil has been doing the farm work chiefly. Mr. Sample is survived by his wife, and two children, Cecil and Nellie, both of whom have been living at the parental home. Another daughter passed away some years ago. Funeral services will probably be held Friday, and an effort is being made to get word to Rev. Moore who is away on a vacation trip, requesting that he return in time to officiate at the funeral if possible. With the passing of Mr. Sample, the community loses a man of very high character, and one that has heroically gone through years of suffering and pain. The bereaved family have the heart felt sympathy of their many friends. ----------- From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, August 4, 1927, transcribed by Linda Berney: John Wesley Sample was born at Mount Carroll, Illinois, July 25, 1860, and died at his home in Nance County, Nebraska, July 26, 1927, aged 67 years and 1 day.
