OBITUARY

     Fred W. Shown was born in Nebraska, March 17, 1898, and died October 17, 1918, leaving a father to mourn his loss, his mother having died in 1905.
     Fred was a young man of sterling worth. To know him was to love him. He was a courteous gentleman, meeting his friend it with a glad smile and merry heart. He was honest and truthful in all his dealings and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He imbibed the principles of Christianity at his mother's knee. He was unassuming in manner, yet reflected the nobleness of his character in all his associations with neighbors and friends. An overseer of Spring Creek Grange, he will be greatly messed, for he was punctual in attendance. He was also a member of the Woodmen, who will miss him from their midst. He was laid to rest beside his mother in Spring Creek Cemetery, services being conducted by Elder Adams.
