Obituary of George D. Aimick,

Newspaper unknown, probably the Union Ledger
1903 is the date on the grave

Death of Geo. D. Aimick

The news reached this village Tuesday of the death of George D. Aimick, which occurred at eight o�clock that morning, and many in this part of the county who had known him for years will regret to 1earn of his death. He had been suffering from sciatic rheumatism which caused his death.
Mr. Aimick was one of the early settlers of eastern Nebraska 1ocating in this county in 1856. Following the example of the other pioneers Mr. Aimick pre-empted 160 acres located in the western part of Rock Bluffs precinct and by persistent effort and hard work he developed it into a fine farm and enabled him to add to his realestate until he became the owner of several hundred acres of Cass county land. The writer knew Mr. Aimick many years ago when Rock Bluffs was his trading point and we remember that he was always highly esteemed as an honest and honorable man by all who formed his acquaintance.

Another Pioneer Gone.

Again we find it our unpleasant duty to record the death of one of our old and esteemed citizens_ Mr. Benjamin Albin, who died at his late home northeast of Union last Saturday night October 20, [1894?]. Deceased had been ailing several weeks but until recently he was not supposed to be dangerously ill. Being well along in years his constitution had become worn and unable to withstand the continued strain upon it and finally yielded to the attack of dropsy which was brought upon him by heart failure. The funeral was held at the U. B. church Monday conducted by Rev. Jacob Surface, after which the remains were followed to their last resting place in the Union cemetery by a large concourse of friends and relatives. Mr. Albin was a man well known in this county, having located here in 1856 on the farm where he spent the remaining years of his Life. He was always known as a man of integrity and honesty, and served the county as one of the commissioners some years ago. In his death the county loses one of its most highly respected citizens, and one whom all knew as a kind and benevolent man. Only two weeks before his death he was called upon to mourn the death of his son David and at that time was unable to leave his bed to attend the funeral.

Obituary of Maria Annie (Smith) Austin,

Union Ledger, March 1904
OBITUARY.
MRS. ANNIE AUSTIN.
Born October 15, 1870,. in Liberty precinct, Cass county, Neb. Died 7:45 p. m. Saturday, March 5, 1904, at the home in Union, Neb.
The anouncement of the death of Mrs. Austin, wife of Almond H. Austin, caused a feeling of sorrow as well as surprise, for her serious condition was known to but few of the citizens. She had apparently been in usual health, although she had never fully recovered from a serious illness of eight years ago. On Friday, Feb. 29, she was happy and cheerful until evening, when a sudden illness attacked her, and it was soon observed that it was of a very alarming nature. She continued growing worse in spite of the best that medical skill and tender care could do, and Saturday evening only a moment before death, as she was passing away she held her husband�s hand and said faintly, "I�m going home." The funeral service was held at the residence Monday at 10 o�clock a. m., Rev. J. W. Waldsmith of Nebraska City officiating, and many friends were present to look for the last time upon the face of one they had known and loved for many years. The remains were then conveyed to the Eaton cemetery a few miles east of Union, and there the Royal Highlanders, of which the deceased was a wort hy member, conducted their beautiful ritualistic burial service, then the remains were laid in the vault�the last that mortal hand could do. A beautiful floral offering from Mrs. L. H. Bardwell, Mrs. 0. E. Austin and L. S. Austin, of Wymore, and emblematic flowers from the Royal Highlanders, were tokens of high esteem. The pmall bearers were G. W. Saxon, G. W. Clark, Roscoe Beckner, Frank Albin, J. C. Dye jr, and G. P. Barton.
Deceased, whose maiden name Maria Annie Smith, was a daughter of John and Amanda Smith, (both deceased) pioneer settlers of this vicinity, where Annie was born and grew to womanhood. She was married to Almond H. Austin on Jan. 16, 1890, and they resided in this vicinity ever since, the past four years in town. As a girl she was a general favorite among her young companions; as a wife she was one of the kindest and most devoted; and as a mother she always had in mind the welfare and happiness of her children. She was a most esteemable woman, and possessed all the good qualities to make friends of all acquaintances. Besides her husband she leaves four ch ildren, names and ages as follows: Jay, 13; Leonard, 12; Fannie, 11; Dee, 9.

Obituary of John Klaurans,

Newspaper not identified (Union Ledger?), About 1882

Another Good Citizen Gone John Klaurans Dies At Hospital in Omaha Saturday After Short Illness

Our entire community was shocked Saturday evening when it was announced that Mr. John Klaurans passed away at 6:30 p.m. at a hospital in Omaha; death being due to kidney trouble. Mr. Klaurans had been suffering for some time but was not considered in a serious condition until about three weeks ago when he was removed to the hospital where an operation was deemed necessary.
In the passing of Mr. Klaurens, Union loses one of her pioneer citizens who is worthy of all words expressible. He was known to be an upright citizen, a good father and a true loving husband. He was an ardent admirer of the United Brethren Church and had been a member of that organization since early boy hood, and had always been an active unit within its circle.
The funeral services were held Monday afternoon by Rev. W.A. Taylor, at Mt. Hope church at 2 p.m., and were attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors. Interment was made in the Union cemetary.
1805 -1882
[NOTE: from the researcher. "The first John Klaurens is as far back as I can go in this country. I will list them all so you can see the order. There were three John's. The first had five children: 1) Susana Klaurens - 1830 - 1899 married Jacob Ansay, 2) John Klaurens - 1832 - 1916 ((his children changed the spelling to Clarence)), 3) William Klaurens - 1837 - 1925 married Ruth Etta Ervin (1853 -1917) ((there boys changed spelling to Clarence)), 4) Henry Klaurens (not a twin of William) - 1837 - 1895 married Josephine Pierre, and 5) Peter Klaurens - 1841 - 1895 married Susanna Thierry. The second John was son of the first. The third John was nephew to the second John and son of Henry."]
