Obituary
Herbert W. Pedler was born near Eugenia Falls, Gray (sic) county, Ontario, on the 22nd day of September 1872 and departed this life at Grand Island Nebraska, on the 26th day of March 1913, being at the time of his death aged 40 years, 6 months and 4 days.
At about the age of 17 years, under the custodian of his native country, he apprenticed himself to a blacksmith for three years, at a salary of Thirty, Sixty, and Eighty Dollars a year and served with credit to himself and satisfaction to his employer, and was pronounced a master mechanic. Shortly afterwards he engaged in business for himself at Feversham, Ontario.
About the last of the year 1894 or the first of the year 1895 he was united in marriage to Elsie J. McKee, of which union there was born a daughter, shortly after which the wife and mother departed this life and Wes, as he was familiarly known, in an effort to lighten the burden of sorrow, came to visit his brother J. S. Pedler of this city and has resided in or near Loup City ever since.
On the 16th day of June 1897 he was married to Druzilla H. Ditto, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Ditto of this city and together they journeyed through the labyrinth of life until the day of his death, she being with him during all his last illness and exhibiting a devotion and patient endurance most admirable and beautiful.
In 1909 he was elected to the city council of Loup City, serving two terms, and in the year 1911 he was elected mayor and re-elected in 1912 and was the only candidate for the position at the time of his death.
Wes was a plain out-spoken citizen which sometimes worked to his disadvantage, but he was generally admired for his sincerity of purpose. Wes made a most efficient official and at the head of our citys affairs he labored at all times for the best interests of Loup City, and his death removed one who took pride in municipal as well as all affairs pertaining to make the community better.
Wes came from a large family consisting of father, mother, 7 brothers, 2 half brothers, and four sisters, making a family of 15 in all, and was brought up in a new country where conditions pertaining to education were not the most flattering. Just at the time when by energy and application in practical life he had become most serviceable to himself and others, and at a time which he deemed to be the meridian of his existence, he was called to meet...
gain admittance to the church. This goes to show the high esteem in which he is held in the community. The remains were laid to rest in the Evergreen cemetery and the precession to the last resting place was followed by hundreds of people. The Knights of Pythians held a short service at the grave and this closed the last incident in connection with the laying away of one of Loup Citys leading citizens. The community will miss him as well as his loved ones and his jovial smile and good fellowship is no longer to be enjoyed by those who have learned to love Wes.
The only brothers at the funeral were Louis of Toronto Canada and Joseph of this city.
This community extends its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones.
