Mrs. Chas. Hutchins, of Des Moines, who has been visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Terbush, for some time past took sick and died this morning. She leaves a husband to mourn her untimely departure. The time of the funeral services have not been arranged but will possibly be Monday.

Obituary.

Mrs. C. E. Hutchins was laid to rest in the silent city yesterday afternoon, followed thither by a large company of admiring friends and relatives. She died Oct. 9, at the family home on Chestnut street The funeral services were held at the Congregational church, conducted by the pastor, E. S. Hill. The music was very appropriate and tender and the flowers abundant and tastefully arranged. One beautiful piece was the gift of the Endeavor society of which Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins were members until their removal to Des Moines. Since their return to Atlantic her health has been poor and her death was not a great surprise to her friends. Mrs. Hutchins was a sweet and gentle christian woman, greatly loved by all who knew her. She, with her husband, became a member of the Congregational church in  this city in 1892. Their membership has latterly been in Plymouth church of Des Moines. Her brother, Mr. Earnest Terbush, of Chicago, and her sister, Mrs. Malone, of Wiota, are the remaining children of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Terbush, and were present at the funeral with many other relatives. She has left a sweet memory behind her to enrich the lives of those who are left to mourn her loss.

GEORGE E. SIMS DEAD

Passed Away Suddenly While on Duty Last Friday.

George E. Sims, formerly a well known resident of Jefferson, died suddenly of heart disease last Friday night at Cody, Nebraska, where he has been night telegraph operator on the F., E. & M. V. for sometime. A letter to Jefferson friends from the parties where he boarded stated that he left the home for the depot bout 8:40 in the evening. At eleven o'clock a train came through and stopped for orders, and the conductor found George dead in his chair by the telegraph instrument. George is an old Greene county boy and many people will sorrow to learn of his untimely end. His body was taken to Racine, Wisconsin, the home of his parents, for burial. His daughter Zella attended the funeral, later returning to this city.

GEORGE E. SIMS

Former Jefferson Man Dies At His Post of Duty in Nebraska.

The Cow Boy, a newspaper published at Cody, Nebraska, gives the following account of the death of George E. Sims: The people of Cody were surprised and shocked, on last Saturday morning, December 27, 1902, on learning of the death of George E. Sims, night operator in the employ of the F. E. and M. V. company at this place. Mr. Sims went on duty in the station at the usual hour, apparently in the same state of health that he has been in for a long time, on Friday evening. Sometime between 10 and 11 o'clock, the night coal heaver went down from the coal shed and sat and talked with him as usual. At or near 12 o'clock an extra freight train arrived from the east with conductor Wishart in charge. The conductor went into the depot and found Mr. Sims upon his back, his arms folded and was apparently asleep. The conductor laid his hand upon him with the remark: "Come, old man, it is time you were up." Receiving no reply he took hold of one hand and discovered that the member was cold and stiff, and the conductor realized that he had died at his post of duty, apparently without a struggle. Evidently Mr. Sims had crawled upon the counter as was his custom to take a nap between trains; and that death silently fell upon him while he was asleep. Let us believe that death brought more peace than Mr. Sims enjoyed in life, as he had been in poor health for a long time. But notwithstanding the almost constant physical suffering that bore daily, his life was such as to make every man, woman and child who knew him in Cody, or the country around his true friend. Deep regret was felt by all at his sudden death, He was a man, every inch of him. On learning of Mr. Sims' death, Superintendent McFarlane sent the following dispatch:

OMAHA, Dec. 27, 1902.

W. A. MORGAN, Agent, Cody:

My heartfelt sympathy to the relatives and friends of George E. Sims, who died at his post.  regret the loss not only of an able, obliging fellow employee, but a friend.

Your Sincerely,

W. P. McFARLANE, Supt. Telegraph.

Mr. Morgan informs us that Supt. Harman also sent a message expressing the same kind feeling of regret and sympathy. Mr. Harman also sent messages conveying transportation to all near relatives of Mr. Sims to visit his home in Racine, Wis., to which place the remains were transported, leaving here Sunday morning, accompanied by E. C. Cole. He was also provided with transportation to and from Racine. We often hear of soulless railroad corporations, but all this proves to the Cow Boy that the officials of railroads have the same kindly feeling for their fellow man as other people do. Mr. Sims had served in his official capacity at Cody for almost five years, with equal justice to the public and the company, so that each regret his calling home.

AFFAIRS OF THE SOCIAL WORLD

Last week has been an unusually busy one with a continual round of luncheons, matinee parties and bridge parties for numerous June brides until the poor little brides will be all worn out before the wedding day comes. Some refuse all invitations within two weeks of the wedding, preferring this to looking tired for this most important day. Wednesday is the favored day of the week, and on Wednesday, June 1, there are four weddings. The two largest will be that of Miss Louise Peck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Peck to Mr. Denise Barkalow, and that of Miss Marion Connell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Connell to Mr. Isaac Raymond, jr., of Lincoln. The wedding of Miss Edith Carson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Carson to Jesse Rogers and Miss Lenore Hutchins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Hutchins to Mr. Milliom will also take place on that day.
