TABLE ROCK ARGUS, Feb. 5, 1903.
Wilma (Katie) D. Aylor Wilma Duluth, the seven-weeks-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. William Aylor, passed away early on Friday morning. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. A. W. Shamel, and interment took place from the home at 4:20 p.m. The child was a very bright and beautiful one; its death was quite sudden, only three days of sickness and has fallen heavily upon the hears of the parents, relatives and friends. We commend them to the Great Comforter, and extend our sympathy. - A. W. S. |
TABLE ROCK ARGUS, Mar. 12, 1908.
Elva, eight year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Aylor, died at the family home in Napier at 10 o'clock on Monday night, from pneumonia, from which she had been a sufferer for ten days. The remains were brought to Table Rock on Tuesday night, and the funeral services were held at the home of the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Heywood, on Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. C.E. Ruch. It had been arranged to have the funeral at the Methodist church but the illness of the four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Aylor, who was attacked with the same disease on Wednesday morning, made a change of arrangements necessary. The little fellow is some better this morning. The deceased was born in Table Rock where the parents were born and raised, and where they lived until a few years ago, when Mr. Aylor's work as a railroad man took him to Napier. |

Table Rock Argus, Mar. 14, 1912.
Mrs. Hannah Bowen who for many years was a resident of Table Rock vicinity where her children were born and raised, died at the home of her son, Luther Bowen, in Wymore, on Sunday afternoon, from ailments incident of old age. the remains were brought here and buried beside those of her husband in Table Rock cemetery, the funeral services being held in the Christian church at 10 o'clock conducted by Rev. Gates pastor of the M. E. Church at Wymore, being attended by all her sons who are living and many other friends and relatives. OBITUARY- Hannah Aylor was born in Richland county, Ohio, June 29, 1834 and died at the home of her son in Wymore, Neb., March 10, 1912, aged 77 years, 9 months and 10 days. She moved with her parents to Iowa in 1851, where they settled on a farm in Appanoose county. On the 12th of October, 1854 she was married to L. C. Bowen. To this union ten children, four girls and six boys were born, seven children and the husband preceded her in death. In the autumn of 1884 she moved with her family to Nebraska where she has since resided. Her last years being spent at the home of her youngest son L. N. Bowen of Wymore, where she was the adored object of the little ones whose companionship she enjoyed to the fullest. She united with the Christian church in the early years of her life and remained a faithful and consistent member to the end. In her life she knew a great deal of sorrow, but she made this a stepping stone to a higher life and closer communion with God. She was always ready to lend a helping hand where ever she was needed, often going beyond her strength, but never complaining. Everything that loving care and medical skill could do was done for her. But the debility of age had fastened on her with a relentless grip, and was calling her home where pain and sorrow shall be no more. She leaves to mourn her loss two brothers and three sons, George E. of Brock, Rufus D. of Steinauer and Luther N. of Wymore, besides ten grandchildren by whom she will be greatly missed. Truly a just woman has gone to her reward. The remains were taken to Table Rock, her former home, Tuesday where the funeral was held and interment made.-Wymore Arbor State |

HANSEN

In the year 1888, Edward & Abi, with daughters Anna Belle (left) and Ada (Right), and in back, sons Lawrence, Calvin, Alfred, James, & Albert. Photo 646.
Edward Hansen's obituary tells a humdinger of a story:
Edward Hansen was born in Sweden in 1831. As a young man, he took a job as a ship’s carpenter aboard a ship sailing out of Norway. That took him to London, where he then picked up a contract on another Norwegian ship to go to Quebec, Canada for ship timber. Here’s the best part. “There came a storm and the ship was wrecked, but no lives were lost because there came an American ship and took all on board…The Norwegian ship’s crew was taken to New York. All returned to Norway, except Mr. Hanson, who never went back.” That was apparently in 1853. In 1856, he headed west for Wisconsin then a short while later headed for Missouri. There, he met and married Abi Bloom. That was in 1860 and by that Fall, Edward and Abi were in Table Rock. They had seven children, including five boys. |

george & clara cooper lane
Historical Society member Luella Hinrichsen, poring over old editions of the Argus in search of obituaries, came across the lovely story about a special anniversary.
TABLE ROCK ARGUS, July 11, 1924.
Wedded Long, Long Ago- On July 3, 1870 a wedding ceremony was performed which united the loves of two Table Rock young people. So tightly was the knot tied that all the storm and stress of the intervening years have not been able to break it, and the husband and wife are living together today in contented and happy old age in Table Rock.
The contracting parties to this wedding of fifty-four years ago were George M. Lane and Miss Clara Cooper, popular young people of this community, and members of prominent pioneer families of the community.
George had a fine team of horses, but no buggy, and so he went to C. H. Norris, who owned the only buggy then in Table Rock, hitched his own horses to it and in pride and happiness the young couple took their honeymoon trip....
They commenced life together on a farm west of Table Rock. For the past quarter of a century or more they have lived in town having retired from the farm.
Since they began life together they have always lived here in Table Rock, their children were born and grew to manhood and womanhood here, and two of them- Charley and Mrs. Gibbs- still live here, while Mrs. Parker lives at Wymore.
They realize that time has wrought great changes in conditions in Table Rock and Nebraska, for they have lived through them in the years of their married life, and as they go on down the journey of life hand in hand it is the hope of their many friends that joy and happiness will follow them to the journey's end.
George died in 1925 at age 76, Clara in 1931 at age 77. When they married in 1870, George was 21 and Clara 16.
