August 22, 1918MRS. ARTHUR MERRILL KILLED BY LIGHTNING
What was the greatest shock of his, befell Arthur Merrill on returning from the day's labor on the F.W. Snyder farm. Coming home and expecting the happy greeting of his bosom companion, he went to the house but found her not. Looking the place over, he discovered her lying in the potato patch where she had evidently been irrigating. On approaching, he found her dead, struck by lightning.
A slight electrical storm had passed over about four o'clock that afternoon, and she had become the target for the bolt.
Four little children are left motherless and the husband without a companion and helper. It is indeed a misfortune. The community has come to his assistance in a noble way and is trying to mitigate an almost unbearable burden. Mrs. Merrill was about 38 years old and the family are members of the Baptist church.

Nebraska the Land and the People: Volume 3Hon. Vincent C. Hascall, one of the eminent members of the legal profession at Omaha none is more generally admired and esteemed for professional ability and personal character than Hon. Vincent C. Hascall. His broad reputation rests not only on his masterly conduct of the cases which have been entrusted to him as a practitioner, but on the splendid discharge of his duties in several positions of public trust and responsibility. He is always identified with beneficial movements, and altogether an Omaha citizen who believes that the surest way to advance his own interests and be of benefit to the public is to come into close contact with as many people and interests as possible.
Mr. Hascall was born July 9, 1888, at Ogden, Utah, the only son of Morris T. and Emma (Altstadt) Hascall, and on the paternal side is of Scotch and Welsh descent. His father was born about 1861, near Peru, Indiana, a son of Charles Hascall, and in young manhood left the home farm to enter the employ of the Pullman Company, eventually becoming district passenger agent at Ogden, Utah. For the last thirty years he has been an inspector of packing plants for the United States government, his present home being at Omaha. Mrs. Hascall, who died in 1912, was born at New Orleans, Louisiana, the youngest daughter of William Altstadt, a native of Germany, who was a pioneer of Omaha, coming in the late '50s, and was something of a character during his day, serving for a number of years in the capacity of justice of the peace. Mr. Hascall has one sister, Irma, the wife of R. C. Kirkland, of Buffalo, Wyoming.
Vincent C. Hascall was three years of age when his parents moved from Ogden, Utah, to Omaha, and the graded schools furnished him with his education until he was fifteen years of age, when his father was transferred by the government to North Platte, Nebraska. He graduated from the North Platte High School in 1907, and then spent five years in the University of Nebraska, two years in the academic department and three years in the law department, graduating with the degree of Bachelor of Laws as a member of the class of 1912. He was at once admitted to the bar and commenced practice at Timber Lake, South Dakota, but only remained there for a short time, after which he removed to Omaha, which has since been his place of residence and the scene of his professional success. He is now in the enjoyment of a large and lucrative practice, maintaining offices at 1417 City National Bank Building.
He belongs to the Omaha Bar Association, the Nebraska Bar Association and the American Bar Association. In politics he is a Republican. In 1913, upon the death of his maternal grandfather, Mr. Altstadt, he was appointed to succeed him in the capacity of justice of the peace, and he was later elected to the same office, which he held for about five years. In 1921 he was elected on the Republican ticket a member of the Lower House of the State Legislature, where he became author of the American Legion Loan Bill, now a state law, and was also co-author of the Anti-Picketing Law. When he was elected to the Legislature he received 26,247 votes, the largest vote ever cast for a state representative, and served in the regular session of 1921 and the special session of 1922. He is a Scottish Rite Mason and a past master of his Blue Lodge, and a past consul commander of Omaha-Seymour Camp No. 120, W. O. W. He also holds membership in the University Club; the Lions Club, of which he is a past president and of which he is now district governor; the Happy Hollow Country Club and the American Legion. During the World war he trained at the Artillery Officers' Training Camp at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky.
On November 27, 1914, Mr. Hascall married Miss Dawnie Dale Pugh, of Topeka, Kansas, formerly of Lincoln, Nebraska, a daughter of H. H. Pugh, now of Table Rock, Nebraska. They have one daughter, Alice Ann, born April 13, 1920.

The ceremony was held in the living room as the bridal party stood before a bank of ferns and palms. Baskets of snap dragon and chrysanthemums added to the attractiveness of the rooms, darkened and lighted by candles. The stairway was run with similax and asparagus ferns and the newel post was covered with white mums tied with tulle. The dining room was lighted by pink candles in candelabra on the table. The centerpiece was a gold basket of pink sweet peas.
The bride is of the striking, vivacious brunette type. She looked charming in her wedding gown of bridal satin combined with hand run oriental lace. It was made loose from the shoulders in the back and square train. The oriental lace was draped from the left shoulder across the front and was fastened with pearl and rhinestone ornaments. The veil completely covered the gown. It was held in place by lillies of the valley. Her boquet was a shower of bride's roses and pink Brunner roses and lillies of the valley.
The maid of honor wore a pink crepe meteor made with train and draped with white princess lace. The shoulder cape was pink chiffon. The bodice was finished with a turquoise blue girdle. Her corsage boquet was of pink and white sweet peas.
The bride's travelling costume was of black chiffon broadcloth made in Russian blouse style. The jacket was finished with a short pepium of box plaits, wide revers and cuffs of velvet. The blouse was of white silk net, draped with old blue maline and black lace. It was made with stand out collar. The trimming was of jet beads. Her hat was a sailor shape, with black velvet crown, gold lace trim and an uncurled ostrich plume in the old blue shade.
