Landrine Tatum
Dine Tatum as he was more familiarly called by everyone who knew him, was born at Marysville, Kansas, on the 9th day fo March 1859. He died at the Bloomfield hospital on October 11, 1913, at 11 o'clock pm about 4 1/2 days after undergoing an operation for appendicitus, aged 54 years 7 months and 2 days. His father's family moved in early days from Marysville, Kansas, to Floyd County, Iowa, where the subject of this sketch grew to manhood. He was married in Marble Rock, Iowa, on the 8th day of December 1878, to Polly A. Halstead and came to Nebraska in 1890 and located for a short time in Cedar County. In 1891 they removed to Crofton, Nebraska, which place has been their permanent home until in August 1912 they located in Bloomfield. Mr. Tatum's last sickness dated from Saturday evening October 4th. He was at Verdigre with a car load of potatoes and was taken sick that evening. He was brought home on Sunday by Mr. E. Alexander who was over there with him and was immediately confined to his bed. His case grew so much worse that it was decided that an operation was the only chance to save his life. Dr. Rowse came up from Sioux City and the operation was performed about noon of Tuesday. From that time on he hardly regained consciousness and peacefully passed away last Saturday night. The deceased is survived by his wife, one son, Arlie E. Tatum, of this city and one daughter, Mrs. Iva Potter, of Crofton (adopted daughter of Emmaline Halstead and Clinton Philbrook after Emmaline died in 1890). He is also survived by an aged father, Landrine Tatum, of Barnard, Kansas, and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Margaret Hayes, of Crofton, Henry C. Tatum of Blessing, Texas, C. A. Tatum of Palacios, Texas, Orville M. Tatum, Nancy Tatum and Tobitha Tatum, of Barnard, Kansas. The body was taken to Crofton on Wednesday this week for interment in the Crofton cemetery, a large delegation of Bloomfield masons and friends attending from here. The funeral services were held fro the congregational church at Crofton at 2 o'clock pm under the auspices of Crofton Lodge No. 273 A.F.&A.M. Reverand C. H. Moore of Bloomfield, conducting the services. A large concourse of people accompanied the remains of their brother and friend to its last resting place and witnessed the beautiful ceremony of consigning his body to the grave. The Monitor in behalf of his many warm friends expresses condolence to the bereaved family in this hour of their grief and sorrow.
CARD OF THANKS---We desire by this means to express our most sincere thanks to the master masons and other friends of Bloomfield and vicinity for their great kindness and deeply expressed sympathy during the last illness and death of our beloved husband and father and to thnk them all for their generous help and assistance during our sad bereavement.
