Green Swayze
Obit: A Sad Summons
Green Swayze, A Prominent
Stockman of Ainsworth,
Neb., Passes Away
(Ainsworth Star-Journal)
Our community was startled
yesterday morning by the
news that Mr. Green
Swayze, a prominent
stockman of this county,
living just south of Hotel
de Blue, had died at
sunrise of an obstruction
of the bowels.
Mr. Swayze was 66 years of
age, his birth place being
Orion, Mich., July 4th,
1846. He was married
to Miss Louisa Killinger,
of Dubuque, Iowa, March
17, 1878, and there were
born to them nine
children, seven now living
- two girls and five
boys.
He came here from Douglas
County, Neb., about a year
ago, buying one of the
Holipeter ranches, some 25
miles south, but purchased
the Pratt residence in
south Ainsworth later and
became a citizen of our
town.
About a week ago he began
complaining of stomach
trouble, but no serious
apprehension was felt
until last Saturday, when
the services of a
physician were called into
requisition, but too late
for material aid, and he
failed rapidly until death
came to relieve his
sufferings.
But little is learned of
his history. He
leaves his wife and
children in good
circumstances.
Besides these he leaves an
aged mother, (Mrs. J. H.
Swayze of Coggon, Iowa)
and three sisters and two
brothers. He was a
member of the Knights of
Pythias order, and also of
the Brown Township Stock
Association.
He carried two policies in
the New York Life for
$3,000. Mr. Swayze
was a man of good business
qualifications, genial,
energetic, and although a
comparative stranger, had
formed a large friendship
acquaintance among our
people.
The funeral occurred at 10
O’clock this morning.

of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Bower, Jr., died from the effects of burns received while
shooting fireworks on Independence day.
Mrs.
Bower was assisting her son in shooting the fireworks but a cry from the baby

himself. The result was that his clothing caught fire.
