In Loving Remembrance of Edith Wehn.

Gone! from our home forever.
Sleeping; her last long sleep;
Resting in the blest forever.
While loved ones sadly weep.

Called from this world of woe;
To the Father's home of love,
Free from all sorrow and pain;
Waiting for loved ones above.

Sadly; how sadly; we miss thee,
Child of our earliest love,
Just in the bloom of youth,
Thou wast called from above.

All through our home there lingers;
Loving impresses of thy hand,
Tokens to remind of tw (?)
Thou eldest of our little band.

Peaceful and deep be thy slumber.
'Neath the turf covered sod,
While thy pure, loving spirit,
resteth; calmly resteth with God.

Yes; beyond this world of care,
We shall clasp thee to our heart;
In that bright and sunny land,
Where we never more shall part.
A.P.


Lines Written on the Death of Edith Wehn.

Edith, thou has left us weeping.
Here upon life's crumbling shore;
While thy dear bright eyes are sleeping
Ne'er to shed a tear-drop more.

Lonely, sadly, they have laid thee,
'Neath the "silent city's" sod,
Yet we know 'twas love the bade thee
Leave the earth and dwell with God.

Yes, we know they home is heaven,
Yet, alas! we miss the here,
Miss thee morning, noon, and even,
Miss thee, always, everywhere.

Yes, we'll miss thee till our mission
Ended on this sin cursed shore;
We, at last, will gain permission
To dwell with thee forever more.
---By a Friend


Remembrance.
(by request)

She is gone! Our darling Edith,
In our home she is no more;
She has gone to dwell with Jesus
On that bright and better shore.

She is gone! O, can we e've be,
To this sorrow, reconciled,
When we thing of the sad ending,
Of our happy, loving child.

Little did we thing that morning,
As we left her, happy, gay,
That before another daybreak.
Her dear soul would pass away.

We will miss her, O, how sadly,
We will miss her happy voice,
Yet we know her sufferings ended,
And for this our hearts rejoice.

We will listen to her footsteps,
Which forevermore are stilled;
While deep within our hearts
Is whispered, "'Tis as the Lord has willed."

Do not grieve for your dear loved one,
She has crossed the river o'er,
And is safe among the angels.
Where all suffering is no more.

It is for a short time only;
See her stand with beckoning hand?
Watching, wistfully and longing,
Calling to a better land.

She is gone! o, do not grieve,
She is safe, her journey (missing)
And may God, in (missing)
Help you bear (missing)

Died
Rhine-At home in Lincoln, Nebraska on April 14
James W. Rhine aged 69 years, 7 months and 9 days.

     Mr. Rhine was born in Gay County (should be Jay County) Indiana, on September 5, 1840. He was brought up on a farm and attended district school until he was 21 years of age when he enlisted as a private in Co. I 34th Ind. Inf. He was made a sergeant and served until August 11th 1862 hen he was discharged on account of the loss of his right arm caused by the premature explosion ofd a cannon at New Madrid, Mo. He returned to Indiana and attended Liberty College fitting himself for a teacher. In 1865 he went to Missouri and taught school and in 1866 he located at Falls City where he engaged in teaching. in 1869 he was married to Miss Nancy A. Goodin at Lincoln taking his young wife with him to Falls City. In 1870 he came to Saline County locating on a homestead. He taught several terms of school on the West Blue and a few years after located in Crete.

     Mr. Rhine held many positions of honor and trust everyone of which he filled ably and faithfully. He was city clerk, councilman for three terms, police judge, and for several years was precinct assessor and justice many years and was elected county judge three terms and made an exceptional fine record in that position. In the winter of 1880 he was assistant sergeant at arms of the state senate and served as sergeant at arms in the following session. He was the father of six children five girls and one son, five of whom survive him. Mr. Rhine has always enjoyed the best of health until about one year ago. He removed to Lincoln thinking perhaps that the sanitarium and salt baths would help him. The doctors were unable to diagnose his case and could say that is was simply a general breaking down. In his normal health he weighted 190 lb.. but he became greatly emaciated and weighted only 90 lb.. at the time of his death. During all this time his mind was as clear as a bell. He made all arrangements for the coming ordeal and when the end approached he manifested great anxiety about his pension saying that he was desirous of living long enough to sign his voucher. Arrangements were made to have it sent post haste to the house upon its arrival at the post office. It was so sent and he was lifted up in bed and signed his name plainly fell back upon his pillow and expired in less than three minutes. This last act showed his strong will power and also the desire he had to confer the last material benefit upon his wife and family. The remains were brought to Crete on Sunday and a short service was conducted by Dr.. Cowan at the residence of J. W. Townsend. He was buried under the auspices of Holland Post of which he was a member. The following members accompanied the remains from Lincoln and were pall bearers, J. T. Lane, and J. O. Goodwin of Lincoln, and Comrades Snyder, Lovell, Hunt and Hawk of Crete. The ritual services were held at the grave and a few brief remarks were made by H. M. Wells , as a special request of the deceased. “Lights out” were sounded by Frank Nedela, and our comrade was lowered to his last camping ground and sleeps with the great majority.

     He will be missed and mourned by a host of friends. The Post has lost a loyal member, the country a patriot, the community an able citizen and his family a devoted husband and a kind an indulgent father. Peace to his ashes.

“Be still sad heart and cease repining
Behind the clouds the sun is still shining
Thy fate is common fate of all
Into each life some rain must fall.
Some day be dark and dreary.”
