THE REV. E. J. RANDALL DIED AT HAVELOCK
HE HAD SUFFERED FOR A LONG TIME.
Mr. Randall Came to Havelock in October-Burial at Howe, Nev., Probably Thursday.
The Rev. D. J. Randall died Monday evening at 7 o'clock, at his home in Havelock. The body probably will be buried at Howe, Neb., Thursday or Friday of this week.
Mr. Randall suffered under a long and tedious illness. For several weeks he had been unable to perform his duties in the church, but it was only a week ago that his condition became alarming. The disease proved critical and he was unable to rally from the last sinking spell. His wife and two daughters survive him. He had been pastor of the Methodist church at Havelock since October, and during his short residence there attached himself to the affections of his fellow church workers and those among whom he spread his deeds of kindness.
His work was that of the quiet Christian who makes himself known more by his deeds than by his words. His honest endeavor to lead a life of righteousness and spread the goodness of this life among his fellow men won the admiration of the people of Havelock without regard to their denomination, creeds or their religious preference. His life was devoted to helping the less fortunate. He maintained a standard of excellence in all things connected with the church and outside the church, and to the best of his abilities established a better moral atmosphere for the inspiration of the men and women among whom he labored. He was a brother of Commandant Randall of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Grand Island.

DEATH OF REV. ELIAS J. RANDALL
The Lincoln Star contains the following obituary of Rev. Randall, who died at Havlock last week and was buried at Howe on Friday:
"The Rev. Elias J. Randall, who died at Havlock last wee, was born November 4, 1843, at Orland, Steuben county, Indiana. He spent his boyhood days near Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. His mother died when he was 4 years old, and the boy went to live with his maternal grandmother, who cared for him for three years. He came with his father and family to Nemaha county, Nebraska, in 1860. He was married December 30, 1863, to Miss Sarah F. Schooley, who survives her husband. Two children, Mrs. O. W. Pope of Red Cloud, Neb., and Charles H. Randall of Deadwood, S.D., are living.
"The Rev. Randall served in the civil war, his regiment doing service in the western part of Missouri and contending in several skirmishes with the bands of guerillas that ran over that part of the country. After the war Mr. Randall engaged in farming and stock raising. In 1869 he was converted and became a church member. He entered the ministry in 1877, serving as supply on the Stella charge. The next year he preached at Brock and was at Sterling two years. He then joined the Nebraska conference of the Methodist Episcopal church and was stationed at Table Rock for two years. Here he did excellent work, and was instrumental in building a church which stands as a monument to his fidelity and faithful toil. He also served at the following charges; Fairmont, Grafton, Sutton, Clay Center, Red Cloud, Fairfield and Rising City. Last September Bishop Fowler sent him to Havelock. Here he entered upon his work with great interest. He was a man of firm principles and a strong, logical preacher.
The remains were brought to Howe Friday and laid to rest beside his father, N. G. Randall, in Bedford cemetery. A large concourse of neighbors were present at the burial service, which was conducted by Rev. D. B. Lake, a friend of the deceased for many years. The pallbearers were Casner Barnes, David Hl Kite, George Coons, Jason Kyes, Lucian Couer and S. C. Strole.
(Thanks goes to Researcher Barbara Schwartz for sending all these for his memorial.)
