Following the death of the wife, he went to live with his son W. J. Hamer, at Elwood, Nebraska, where he died on September 23. The remains were brought back to Manning for Interment, arriving here on Sunday Evening. The funeral was held Monday morning at ten o'clock from the G.A.R. Hall, Rev. S. F. Weaver officiating, and the remains were interred at the family lot in the Manning cemetery. Many were the old friends and neighbors of the dead man, and those followed him to the eurge <sic> of the grave.

He was the parent of four children--one son and three daughters--all of whom survive him. They are W. J. Hamer and Mrs. Wm. Moody Elwood, Nebraska; Mrs. E. Jackson, Los Angus <sic>, California and Mrs. McCarty, Botna, Iowa.
