Comrade I. G. Rhine Dies here Thursday
Heart Attack was Fatal while Attending Madison County Fair

     Last Thursday at the Madison county fair during the progress of the afternoon fair program, Isaac G. Rhine, one of the few surviving civil war veterans remaining in Madison, dropped dead. The end came suddenly about middle of the afternoon while the sun was shining, the grandstand and quarter stretch crowded with cheerful happy people, amusements, stunts following one by one in quick succession and a baseball game in progress. Mr. Rhine was a baseball enthusiast and had been intently watching the game on the side lines near the band platform. Amid the most Pleasant environments, the band playing, the old veteran suddenly crumpled and fell to the ground and died as suddenly as though stricken by a bullet amid the roar of battle. The few breaths he took were involuntary but life had departed with consciousness. It was a quick and painless ending and one no doubt he would have chosen had he been given the choice. As quickly as though a bullet had entered his brain when he stood on the embattled field, touching elbows with his comrades who died upholding the laws and Flag of his country, he was mustered out.

     Mr. Rhine seem in unusually good health for a man of his age Memorial Day and wanted to ride one of Mr. Driscoll's trained riding horses in the procession to represent the civil war, as the world war was represented by Mr. Driscoll and the Spanish war by Herbert Purdy, but he was not permitted to because it was feared that the horse was too spirited to make it safe. Since the warm weather came on, close observers have noted that he was failing, yet he drove his car to the fair grounds both Wednesday and Thursday. As he collapsed his illness was announced from the stand and a call made for his relatives.

     Isaac G. Rhine was born March 24, 1846 in Indiana, and passed away September 12. 1929, at Madison, Nebraska, being in his 84 year of age. He was married March 3, 1868 to Miss Marilla Goodwin. To this union were born seven children, one of whom having preceded him in death. His wife died February 10, 1914. He was united in marriage to Mrs. W. E. Kilmer at Kearney, Nebr., May 13, 1917.

     Mr. Rhine heard the call of his country and enlisted in the 34th Indiana Infantry at the beginning of the Civil war and served four and one-half years. He fought in many of the important battles including the Battle of Gettysburg. He was a member of Chase Post of the G.A.R.

     He leaves to mourn his loss; his widow; one son, Robert Rhine, Curtis, Nebr.; five daughters; Mrs. Lola Carper, Bigness, Neb.; Mrs. Nannie Rhine, White Fish, Mont.; Mrs. Grace Harnden, British Columbia; Mrs. Clara Acard, Little Rock, Colo.; Mrs. Zella Spearman, Texas, one sister, Mrs. Miller, Marshalltown, Iowa; two brothers; George of Creston, and Robert of Oskaloosa, Iowa; 45 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren.
