SAMMUEL C. ROE
When Samuel C. Roe died Wednesday evening of last week, tihere passed on another one of the pioneers of the vicinity of Sargent, for he and his wife with one or two small children came to Custer County, Nebraska, forty-two years ago and located on a hill farm something like four miles northeast of Sargent. There the family resided for about a dozen years, enduring the hardships and privations that were the lot of the pioneers of this valley. At the same time they were making many life time friends and were experiencing the joys and good times that are nearly always found in pioneer settlements. Mr. Roe's death also marked the passing of a man whose children have grown up to be numbered among the most highly respected men and women of the neighborhoods in which they have chosen to make their homes. And when one takes this into consideration, he cannot help but conclude that the life of the father has been such that it has had a marked Influence in assisting the mother to so rear the children that this much desired result has been accomplished. Again, when one sees such a result as this, he also cannot help but reach another conclusion, and that is that the man must have been a good friend and neighbor and an upright citizen. Samuel C. Roe was born at Lambertville, New Jersey, February 21, 1860, and died near Sargent, Nebraska, December 15th, 1926, at the age of 66 years, 9 months and 21 days. When he was twenty-one years of age (1881) he was married to Miss Addie Fluck at Doylestown, Pennsylvania. To this union were born nine children, one dying in infancy. They are:—Orville of Greeley, Nebr.; Charlie, Mrs. Florence Butler, Sam D. and Mrs. Adeline Buckbee, all of the vicinity of Sargent, Nebr,; Mrs. Jessie Loghry of Onaka, South Dakota;, Mrs. Anna Schuyler of Oxford, Nebr.; and Mrs. Sophie Matson of Greeley, Colorado. The wife and these eight children, twenty-five grandchildren, and a number of other relatives, together with a host of friends are left to mourn his death. The funeral was held at the Methodist Episcopal Church in this city at two o'clock, Saturday afternoon, December 18th, a large crowd of his friends and neighbors being present. The pastor of the church the Reverend John D. Hammsel preached the funeral sermon. Interment was made in the Sargent cemetery.
