    CHARLES E. ACHENBACH
    Despite the advanced age of Grandpa Achenbach, during which he had had no recent illness until last Thursday, Mr. Achenbach died Sunday morning about ten thirty, the ailment being angina.
    Mr. Achenbach was a man of the most genial temperament and lively mind, and loved conversation and discussion. He was a friend to all and is sadly missed in the Worthing family, with whom he has made his home for some three years. His frequent walks about town will be missed, with his cherry greetings.
    A brief service was held Tuesday morning at the Reeve funeral home and services were held at the Presbyterian church at Litchfield, his old home, where interment was made.
    Elder W.C. Rishel of the Christian church at Elmcreek officiated.
    Pallbearers were Jim Lang, Court Lang, George Lang, Elmer Slote, Henan Bacus and John Howard.

    Charles Edward Achenbach was born November 8, 1850, at Parksville, Michigan, and passed away January 24, 1943, at the age of ninety-two years, two months and sixteen days.
    In 1872 he and a friend, Mr. James Slote, came to Nebraska. As government land was being offered newcomers, they took up adjoining homesteads, near the present site of Hastings. Here, for eight years, he endured the rigors of early pioneering, experiencing encounters with Indian tribes, severe blizzards and then again the plague of grasshoppers.
    In 1880 he moved to Cedarville, Nebraska, east of the present town of Litchfield.
    In 1886 he was united in marriage to Kittie Bullis, at the home of her sister, Mrs. J.T. Campbell, then residing in Cedarville. To this union were born twin sons, Bertram and Bernard. They resided in this community for a number of years, except for a brief time, when he served as county treasurer at Loup City.
    After the death of his wife in 1897, he moved to Litchfield where he engaged in the grain business.
    In 1900 he was married to Mrs. Anna Coleman, To this union was born one son who died in infancy.
    In 1907 they moved to Michigan, returning to Litchfield in 1913, where he continued in the grain business until about 1935.
    In May, 1938, his wife Anna passed away. He maintained his home in Litchfield for over a year. He then moved to Elmcreek, making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Floyd Worthing, where he passed away Sunday morning.
    He leaves to mourn his passing, his two sons, B.H Achenbach, of Julesburg, Colorado, and B.D. Achenbach, of Grand Island; three step daughters, Mrs. Floyd Worthing, Elmcreek; Mrs. Harry Grove, Placerville, California; and Mrs. C. D. Smith, San Bernardino, California; twelve grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
    He took a great interest in all civic and county affairs, and even though his latter years were spent away from Litchfield, he took a kern interest in the people of that community and always considered it his home.
    He was a member of the Presbyterian church, which he joined when a boy. His was a life full of rich experiences. Seeing this country progress from its crude pioneer hardships to the present day of modern conveniences and luxuries. He experienced the progression of modern travel from the lowly oxen to the modern streamliner. He took a keep interest in politics and world affairs, up until the time of his death, and could discuss these topics very fluently with his family and friends.
    No greater tribute could be paid to his very fine character than the love and esteem in which he was held by his loved ones, friends and acquaintances.
