Capitola Davidson Burned to Death Sunday Morning
KEROSENE
Her Agonizing Cries Awakened the Household, Who Finally Extinguished the Flames
Mrs. Capitola Davidson, a domestic employed at the boarding house run by Miss Susie Chapman, met death in a most terrible manner Sunday morning. She was the first one up and in starting the fire she used a can of kerosene, which became ignited and caught her clothing on fire, and in an instant she was enveloped in a volume of flames. Almost distracted, she ran into a bedroom and called one of the girls, who followed her out into the yard. By this time the entire household had been attracted to the scene by her agonizing cries, and they at once began throwing water on her, but not until she had been burned almost to a crisp did they succeed in extinguishing the flames. She was taken into the house an a doctor summoned, but she had been so terribly burned that medical aid could be of but little use, other than to alleviate the awful suffering she endured. Everything possible was done to make her comfortable, but she only lived a few hours, dying the same evening. The funeral services were held at Miss Chapman’s boarding house on Monday, being conducted by Rev. Moffit of the Congregational Church, after which the remains were laid to rest in Overlook Cemetery.

Katie Engler nee Kitschke was born in West Prussia Germany on January 1 1844. In infancy she was baptized in the name of the Triune God and received the customary public school and parochial school training. There she grew up and was confirmed in the Lutheran Faith. When she was fifteen years old her father died and the family continued without the head of house. When she was 21 years of age , in 1865 she was joined in wedlock to Martin Engler. The young couple started their own household and in Germany all their children were born.
Mrs Katie Engler
In 1886 a daughter now Mrs Charles Kuhns deceased, was the first of the family to emigrate to America, settled in the Beatrice neighborhood. Two years later she was fallowed by another sister now Mrs Ossowski. In 1898 Rudolph joined his sisters here in America: and the fallowing year Louis came over. Three years later on June 2 1901 the deceased and her husband landed in America accompanied by their youngest daughter Lena now Mrs. August Schank. Due to a train accident which occurred on the way from New York, Mr. Engler was crippled and unable to work very much the rest of his life. A year after their landing their son Paul joined them here in America and finally the late Mrs. Anna Stachs came over in the summer of 1903.
It was on July 24 1915 that sorrow came over the family when their husband and father died and laid to rest in Beatrice cemetery. the mother then stayed with her son Louis who took care of her together with the other sons and daughters who had all settled in this community with their families. Two years previous in 1813 their house burned to the ground and the family lost all of its possessions. They rebuilt the place lived there for several years and then moved to Thayer street in 1922 where she lived until she lived until she passed away.
She was always in good health and we are told not one day of her life. She was another example of that sturdy rugged character of pioneer people who are inseparably interwoven with the history of our country. She died December 20.
She leaves to morn the fallowing children; Mrs. Martin Ossowski, Louis Engler, Rudolph Engler, Mrs. Albert [August?] Schank, all of Beatrice together with their families and children's children. Preceding her in death were her husband and children Mrs. Charlie Kuhns and Mrs. Cornelius Stachs.
All in all four generations survive her. Besides children she leaves to morn 30 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchild. She reached the age of 94 years, 11 month and 20 days.
Charles Lee, youngest son of John and Matilda Moomaw, was born at Sidney, Ia., July 11, 1876, and passed away quite suddenly Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, January 14, 1933, being at the time of his death 56 years 6 months and 3 days of age. Mr. Moomaw grew to manhood at Sidney attending the public schools of that city. Here he was united in marriage with Mrs. Ida M. Loveland of Hamburg, Ia., on October 14, 1903.
Immediately following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Moomaw established their home at Shenandoah, Ia. In the year 1908 the deceased entered the employ of the Cudahy Packing Co., as their representative on the road in which position he served as a valuable salesman for over 15 years. Later he traveled for the Dold Packing Co., and also for the Wilson Packing Co. For the past two years he has been the capable local representative of the John J. Hall Monument Co., of Sioux City, Ia. Mr. and Mrs. Moomaw came to make their home in Beatrice, Neb., 15 years ago where they have made a host of friends by their affable dispositions.
Besides the grief stricken wife he leaves to mourn his passing, two brothers: Will, who resides at Yetter, Ia., and Joseph L. Moomaw of Clay Center, Neb. One sister died in infancy.
Mr. Moomaw was affiliated with U. C. T. Council No. 79 of Beatrice and also the Bagman auxiliary of the same order. He was also an esteemed neighbor of the Modern Woodsman of America, having been associated with this fraternal society since he was 18 years of age.
When a lad of 15 years of age he gave his heart to Jesus Christ and was baptized in the Nishna Botna [sic] river near his home, uniting with the Methodist church where he had always given the best of his efforts in an active Christian way. When coming to make their home in Beatrice, Mr. and Mrs. Moomaw transferred their loyalty to the local Methodist church where they have faithfully served their Lord throughout the years.
In the passing of Mr. Moomaw this community has lost a very loyal and upright citizen. He was a devoted husband, a kind neighbor, a faithful friend and an earnest Christian. He will be greatly missed especially by the children living near him because of his kindly interest in their play. Into that home eternal he has gone to spend eternity with his Lord.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Harman-Johnson funeral home conducted by his pastor Rev. F. F. Travis, assisted by Rev. R. B. Fouts, and interment [sic] was in Evergreen Home cemetery.

Funeral rites were held for James A. McGuire, a prominent Gage county attorney, on Friday afternoon at 2:30 from the St. Lukes Episcopal church of Wymore. James McGuire was a prominent Gage county attorney and was well and favorably known politically especially in democratic circles over a large area in southeast Nebraska. He died Tuesday evening at the Lincoln General hospital where he had been taken on Tuesday, April 11, after an illness of about a year.
James was the oldest of five children of Mr and Mrs Daniel McGuire who came to the United States from Scotland and settled at Scandia, Kansas. It was there that James was born on the 21st day of September, 1879. Soon afterward the McGuire family moved to Wymore and it was there that James McGuire lived his entire life. His father, Daniel McGuire, died soon after the family moved to Wymore, leaving Mrs McGuire to support the family. James was an industrious boy and at the age of twelve years he worked in the Smith grocery, and in 1896 he left school and worked at the Haas store in Wymore. Some years later he was connected with the post office which position he held for several years after which he was employed in the First National Bank, of Wymore as cashier. Later he was given the entire management of the bank and he remained with the institution for more than fifteen years during which time he was one of the most active bankers in Gage county.
While in the bank he began studying law in the office of the late A.D. McCandless and shortly after the World War he was admitted to the bar and he took over the library and practice of Frank Crawford who was in the army at that time. James McGuire has been a practicing attorney since he was admitted to the bar and has figured in a number of cases that have made legal history in the state of Nebraska. In August 1919, he was married to Miss Myrtle Harpster, and they immediately set up housekeeping in Wymore. During his life James McGuire has served in many capacities. Among them he held the offices of city clerk and city treasurer and for a long period of years he served as city attorney. He was a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges. Down through the years he has been very active in political affairs in Gage county and he was proud of the fact that he was a close follower of the late William Jennings Bryan with whom he had a personal acquaintance.
He was baptized in infancy and later was confirmed in the Episcopal church. He served the church as a vestryman for many years and he was a devout member always supporting those things of high moral standing and religious influence. Nearly a year ago he became ill and his eye sight began to fail as a result of his illness. Only recently, however, his condition became serious and he was taken to the LIncoln General Hospital two weeks ago where he died, Tuesday evening, April 25. He leaves to mourn his passing, his wife, Myrtle, two sisters, Miss Kathleen McGuire of Kansas City, Mo, and Mrs William Garfit of Chicago, Ill, two brothers, Donald of Kansas City, Mo., and Thomas of Blue Springs, Nebr, also other relatives and a host of friends in Gage county and this entire section. The Rev. Mulligan conducted the funeral services for Mr McGuire. The large floral offering was a tribute to the high regard in which James McGuire was held by his neightbors and friends. The body was laid to rest in the Blue Springs cemetery.
