BIRNEY, Clem K. - C.E. Stover arrived Sunday morning from Lincoln, Neb. accompanied by the remains of his step-son, Clem K Birney, who was killed the first of the week at a small station near that city. Birney, who was a brakeman, missed his footing when he attempted to board the caboose of his freight train and was caught by the wing of a grading machine, attached to the rear of the train, and was instantly killed. Mr. Stover was accompanied by the wife and two small children of the deceased who will visit here at the Stover home for a short time before returning to their home at Dunlap, Iowa. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Kilbourn. A large number of friends and neighbors of Mr. Stover and wife were present at the funeral.

STOVER, Clem - C.E. Stover Monday night received a telegram from Lincoln, Neb. stating that his son, Clem Stover, had been killed that day in the railroad yards of that city. The story was confirmed by telegram Tuesday and Mr. Stover left for Lincoln that night to secure the body and bring it here for burial. No particulars as to the manner of the accident was given. The deceased was twenty-four years old and leaves a wife and two children. He gave up braking last spring and had been back at work only a short time. The sudden death is a great blow to the bereaved parents and they have the deepest sympathy of the entire community. It is not expected that Mr. Stover will get home with the body before Saturday.
