Blair Courier April 5, 1905
Norman G. Slader died at his home on the farm three miles south of Fort Calhoun, at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon and the funeral is to be held at the home at 1 o'clock today, Rev. A.G. Axtell, of this city, officiating. Mr. Slader was 69 years of age and was one of the old settlers of Fort Calhoun township. He leaves a widow and six children: Mrs. Wm. Longergan, Miss Daisy and Miss Birdie Slader and Messrs. Guy, Roy and Mark Slader.

The Pilot April 12, 1905
N.G. Slader, buried March 5, 1905, in the Fort Calhoun Cemetery, was our most liberal patron when we ran a wagon to Omaha thirty years ago. He was a great reader and for several years we subscribed for the Century Magazine and Harper's Weekly in partnership. One summer he lent us a cow and one winter he sold us a quarter of beef on credit and hearing that our wife was sick, he refused to accept pay and an arm chair bought with that money was known in the family for years as the Slader chair. A few years ago, he subscribed for The Pilot, he said to hear from us oftener and for over thirty years our friendship has been unbroken. He may have been peculiar in some things, but he always wanted to be a good neighbor and good citizen. A brief service was held at the farm by Rev. Axtell, of Blair, assisted by a Blair choir and over forty carriages came to the city with the remains.
