Finds Buried Skeletons - Sept. 18, 1902 (North Bend Eagle)

September 21, 2019
J.D. Cruickshank made a curious find one day last week while digging a cistern near his house on his farm at Webster in the shape of a collection of bones, part of them human and part equine.  They are supposed to be the remains of Indian braves and their horses buried many years ago.  About a quarter of a mile from the house is a place supposed at one time to have been an Indian burying ground and a few years ago some skeletons were unearthed there - but the discovery last week was made only a few feet from the house.

Mrs. William McPherson Obituary - December 1905

September 21, 2019
On last Sabbath afternoon at 2 o'clock pm occurred the funeral service of Mrs. Wm McPherson.  The service was conducted at the Webster Presbyterian church by Rev. Ritchie of North Bend, who took for his text Phil 1:21.
Mrs. McPherson was a woman of admirable traits of character and her friends were numbered by her acquaintances.  During her illness of several months she has been an example of patience and loving solicitude for others.
Miss Libby Graham was born in Scotland on Nov. 18, 1849 and died December 23, 1905.  She came with her parents from Scotland in 1855 to Burean County, Illinois.  In 1866 the family came to Dodge County and took a homestead on what is now the present site of North Bend.  In that same year August 27th she was united in marriage to Wm. McPherson and they have always made their home in this vicinity, the past twenty-three years being spent upon what is known as the McPherson homestead.
Mr. and Mrs. McPherson were the parents of six children.  Thomas, died in infancy, Hugh met a tragic death in Lincoln last March, and the surviving children are John, William, Robert and Mrs. T.S. Cruickshank, and they, with the father are left to mourn the departure of a kind, thoughtful, indulgent mother and a faithful loving wife.  Besides the immediate home circle she leaves one sister and two brothers, Mrs. James McCreath and Wm. Graham of this city and Robert Graham of Blair.  The remains were interred in Summit Grove Cemetery.

1904 - William Bleyhl Fatal Accident

September 21, 2019
William Bleyhl fell from the top of a threshing machine near Ridgely Monday evening, breaking his neck.  He died almost instantly.  Bleyhl was about twenty years old and lived with his parents in the Webster vicinity.  Monday was his first day with the threshing machine which belonged to the Ridgely Company and was at work at Henry Shomshor's farm.  The machine had been stopped and in starting again the motion caused young Bleyhl to lose his baance and fall over backwards.  A physician arrived in half an hour but the wounded man was already dead.  The funeral was held Wednesday and the remains buried in the Webster Cemetery.  
We have no record of this burial and no headstone.
