Jasek, Tobias
March 18,1909 and April 8,1909, Stuart Advocate
MURDER NEAR PLAINVIEW
A man supposed to be Tobias Jasek of Pierce Co, Wis, was murdered near Plainveiw, Nebr, about midnight Monday and his body placed across the Burlington Railway Tracks and cut all to pieces by the passenger train about 8:30 the next morning. The engineer saw the body across the track, but could not stop the train in time to keep from mangling the body. A doctor who was on the train examined the body at once and found it perfectly cold and estimated that the man had been dead about 8 hours. A large amount of blood on the snow a short distance from where the body was on the track, and tracks in the snow gave abundant evidence of a desperate struggle before the man's death. No clue has yet been found as to the murdereers. The motive is supposed to have been robbery, as not a cent of money was found on the corpse.
The death of Tobias Jasek still remains a mystery. His friends at O'Neill have failed to locate the money, gold watch, rifle and valise which Jasek has when he left Wis. Shortly before leaving O'Neill, Jasek wrote that if the friends needed money he would be pleased to send them some. The friends at O'Neill are now convinced that Jasek was the victim of foul play. It is thought that the two suspicious strangers who boarded the freight train at Copenhagen that night for Sioux City, were not in that vicinity for their health, but for the wealth of Tobias Jasek.

DEATH OF MRS IRA LAMB
ANSWERS LAST CALL AFTER AN ILLNESS OF MANY YEARS DURATION
Papillion Times- The people of Papillion were greatly shocked by the announcement of the unexpected death of Mrs Ira Lamb Monday evening. While it was known that Mrs Lamb had suffered a severe relapse Friday yet few believed her condition was so critical. She had been an invalid for a number of years and occasionally suffered greatly. Uremic poisoning is supposed to have been the immediate cause of death. She was found Sunday afternoon in her room in a comatose condition and all efforts by the physicians callled in to arouse her were unavailing and death came to relieve her suffering Monday evening. She was surrounded by all the members of her family except the oldest son at the time of her death.
Sarah Anne Yeargey was born Aug 25,1856 in Montgomery County, Iowa, where she grew to womanhood and on Aug 24,1880, she was married to Professor Ira Lamb. Six children: were born to this union, four of whom with their father survive the deceased. They are George N of Washington, DC, William H of LIncoln, and Miss Nellie M and Frederick R who reside here. She is also survived by 2 brothers, John W of Boseman, Mont and George B of San Francisco.
Prof and Mrs Lamb moved to Papillion last September from Hooper. Prof Lamb having been elected superintendent of the schools here. Mrs Lamb made some very warm acquaintances while here in spite of her invalid condition, and the sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved husband and children:. She was a kind and affectionate mother and a loving wife and her place in the family circle can never be again filled.
The funeral was held this morning from Lutheran Friedens Church in South Papillion. The remains were shipped to Hopper and burial will be made there.

Lambert, Frank
Nov 14,1895, Chambers Bugle
The sudden death of Frank Lambert, second son of L G Lambert, which occurred on Saturday night last has cast a gloom over the entire community. He had started home on Friday morning with a load of baled hay for Inman, in company with his uncle, Harry Porter. When near R J Starr's place, he was taken suddenly with severe pain in his stomach, which increased in violence to such an extent that they were obliged to discontinue their journey, and he was left at the home of L H Bull and Dr Watson was promptly sent for. When the doctor arrived the case was found to be hopeless. He continued to grow worse and Saturday night death claimed the young man as his victim. He was 24 years 9 months and 29 days old. The deceased bore an excellent character, and was a favorite among those who knew him. Old and young alike held him in the highest esteem and his sudden death came as a great sorrow. He leaves behind him an affectionate father and mother, 3 brothers: and 1 sister, whose grief was pitiable to witness. The remains were followed to the Bethany Church on Monday where the funeral service was conducted by Rev N S Lowrie. On the platform were Revs Coppock, Newman and Riley. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity with a sympathizing people, and many were unable to gain an entrance. All that remians of that once joyous and noble young man, was peacefully laid to rest in the cemetery at Little, there to await the trump of the Archangel. The band boys acting as pall bearers. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved family. It is indeed gratifying to know that they sorrow not as those who have no hope, as the deceased gave evidence to his loving mother, who was bending over him during his last moments, that all was well. It is to be sincerely hoped that this sudden and painful bereavement may be the means of turning the hearts of many of his companions to seek an interest in the Savior of the World.

THE DEATH ANGEL'S CALL
Donald, the youngest child of Mr and Mrs F Lehmer, died Sunday morning, July 24 at their ranch on the South Fork. The little sufferer was sick but a short time, although for the past year it has been subject to spasms, but was thought to be recovering entirely from them. It was taken suddenly ill Saturday night. Messengers came to O'Neill for the doctor but they had not been away from the house more than an hour when death came.
Little Donald was about 2 and 1/2 years old, a bright child, and his sudden and early death is deeply mourned by the family and friends and the sympathy of all is extended to them in their sad hour. The funeral services took place at the house Monday forenoon. Rev Blackmer officiating, and the remains were interred on the homestead.

April 15,1909, Stuart Advocate

In the spring of 1900 Mr Levi came to Stuart and engaged in the general mercantile business, and has made this his home up to the time of his death. Mr Levi was an honest, upright man, always kind, and jovial and courteous, and during his residence here had made many frineds who deeply regret his death.
The large number of his old friends who came here from Ainsworth, Johnstown, Long Pine, Bassett and Newport to attend his funeral, which occurred Wed afternoon from the family home, is a testimony of the esteem in which he was held in and near his old home. The Odd Fellows Lodge, of which Mr Levi was a faithful member, conducted the funeral in an impressive manner. The Stuart Lodge was assisted by brethren from Ainsworth, Newport and Atkinson. Beautiful floral offerings, contributed by the lodge and personal friends, decorated the casket, which, with alll that was mortal of Mr Levi was laid away in the Stuart Cem, on Wednesday afternoon. Louis, the only member of the family who was away when Mr Levi died, was here for the funeral. The deceased survived by his wife, 5 sons, and 1 daughter, all well known here.

Lyman, Homer Gilbert
May 10,1912, Atkinson Graphic
Homer Gilbert Lyman, the son of John and Mrs Lyman of our village was born near Hamilton, Marion Co, Iowa, on June 2, 1883. When but a little child three years old his parents removed to Holt County, Nebraksa, settling on a homestead 6 miles south of Atkinson. On this place little Homer grew up to young manhood.A bright boy of pleasing personality and address, he desired to be doing his part in the worlds work, and going to Iowa took up telegraphy, learning it readily. He worked at his business there for awhile and later went west to Denver where he found employement as telegrapher. Later taking a position with a mining firm which he held for several years.
In 1903 he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Saunders at Black Hawk, Colorado. Three children: were born to them, Homer G, Catherine, and Edward, little Homer dying when a small baby.
A year ago last spring with his little family, Homer went to Texas coming from there last fall to make his parents in our village a visit returning to Texas later. Toward the end of April while living at Lubbock, Texas, he was stricken with scarlet fever which in itself might not have proved fatal had not pneumonia set in. He died on April 28,1912, aged 20 years 11 months.
The day before he died his parents received a telegram appraising them of the danger, and they started at once for his bedside but reached Lubbock the day after he had gone. Interment was made in Fairmont Cem, Denver, May 2, the funeral party coming from Lubbock by rail. The funeral services were also held in Denver under the auspices of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of which order he was a member. Members of the Elks, IOOF and Royal Highlanders were present as individuals to witness the burial of a brothers: of their order.
Mr Lyman leaves besides his wife and children: and his parents several other relatives add scores of friends to mourn his untimely going. His winning ways and general disposition made him friends wherever he went.
The mysteries of life we may not know neither can we fathom the mysteries of providence. Why a life so young, so bright, so full of promise should be taken when but entering upon the years of fullest manhood must remain a mystery until we see with perfedcted vision.
