Dores Brush had been a resident of Nemaha county about 60

years and had made his home in Auburn for the past 14 years. He

inherited the sturdy traits and characteristics of pioneer parents and

contributed much to the development of the community in which so

years to farming and also found time and opportunity to take an

interest in community affairs. He will be remembered by the older

people as a good friend and neighbor and one who was always

held in high regard.

Hiawatha, Kansas.
