| 8201 |  | Obituary- Miller, Henry H. 2 Dr. Miller was always identified with any movement for the betterment of the community. He took great interest in the schools of the city and had served on the school board a total of nearly thirty years. He purchased the first automobile owned by a citizen in Rossville township. He was an enthusiastic Mason, a member of the M. W. A. and A. O. F. W. lodges-of the latter organization he is the last member of the charter members. At one time Dr. Miller was president of the “Annuity Union” a Kansas organization, which was looted by its previous officers when it was known as the “Modern Tonties” and it was due primarily to Dr. Miller’s great energy and untiring work that the organization was able to continue for several years before it was finally disbanded. The plan under which this lodge was working has since been adopted by other organizations. In Masonry Dr. Miller was a Knights Templar and had taken the thirty-second degree of Masonry. | |

| 8204 |  | Obituary- Miller, Henry H. and Miller, Ralph Miller Brothers Drowned In Cross Creek The people of this community were terribly shocked and saddened Monday afternoon when it was learned two of the little sons of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Miller had drowned in Cross Creek northwest of town north of the buildings on the Joe Heslet farm. The victims were Ralph Miller, age six, and Henry H. Miller, age eight. No one saw the double tragedy except little Raymond Tarbutton age five, who had accompanied the Miller children to the creek. According to Raymond, the boys had waded across the creek in the shallow water and then waded down the creek, which flows north at this point, and they stepped into a hole and disappeared from sight. Raymond called for them to come out but when no answer was made he realized they were drowning and started for home across the Heslet field. The Tarbutton Family lives in Bond house one door west of the Frank Zickefoose family. MRs. J.C. Randall, another neighbor was the first to hear the little fellow calling out the report, and fearing she misunderstood, she called the boy's sister to hear the story repeated. Mrs. Ralp Zarker, auditor for the Standard Oil Co., who was at the Tarbutton home, immediately wentto the she creek and hunted up and down the banks of the creek to see if the boys had hidden in order to scare their companion. Satisfying himself they were not hiding, he began search in the water. Additional helpers soon came from town including Dr. H.B. Miller, uncle of the missing boys. Archie Cless, Louis Clark, Vern Miller, Chester Hooper and Lote Hook joined RMR. Zarker and a systematic search started. Mr. Cless being the tallest was able to search the deeper water without losing his footing and soon located both bodies. Louis Clark dived to the bottom brought one to the survace and Mr. Zarker recovered the other body. They were located about fifteen feet apart. The bodies had been in the water over an hour so there w no hope of reviving them. The Miller family had moved to Rossville only last week from Maple Hill and is occupying the Harder house west of the creek. The funeral was held today at 2:30 p.m. at the home, the service conducted by Rev. H.L. Nelson of Topeka. Beside the parents the surviving members of the family are Earl W., age 11 and Ella, Age 10, Clyde, age 4 and Richard, age 2. Little Ralph was born near Menoken and Henry was born at Auburn. | |

| 8212 |  | Obituary- Miller, Jacob J. W. MILLER Jacob W. Miller passed away at Glasgow, Mont., Saturday, August 28, at 4 p. m., very quietly in unconsciousness, in which state he had been for only 24 hours, suffering almost no pain. He was living with his son Charles Miller at the time of his death whence he came the last of February. He missed the old familiar walks and friends and was never happy away from Rossville, but was cared for lovingly in his last days. Jacob W. Miller was born in York township, York county, Pa., July 14, 1841. His mother was a sister of the late Daniel Wilt. He was baptized in the German Reformed church. He learned the plasterers trade with the Wilt brothers, John and Daniel. He entered the Civil war as a volunteer and joined the 15th Penna. Cavalry of Harrisburg and was made a corporal Aug. 15, 1865. He was honorably discharged at the close of the war. December 25, 1866, he was married to Elizabeth Jane Gray at Germantown, Pa., and their four children were born at Blaine, Pa., where the family lived until coming to Kansas. His shoulders were crippled with rheumatism when he was mustered out and his trade was not easy to follow, so he was apprenticed to John Seiger and learned cabinet making and undertaking business, which he followed until the manufactured goods forced the handworker out and it was then he came to Kansas. With a very brief period of a part of two years his family have thought of Rossville as home for these 47 years. Always interested in the church to the point of sacrifice, a loyal and faithful citizen, proud to vote, and a careful father, his children revere his memory and all his friends regarded him highly for his common virtues simply lived. Funeral services in Rossville were held in the M. E. church Thursday, September 2, conducted by Rev. G. G. Albin of Topeka, and the body interred in the family lot in Rossville cemetery. | |

| 8221 |  | Obituary- Miller, Laura In loving memory of our dear mother and grandmother, Mrs. Laura Miller, who passed away two years ago, November 9th, 1925. The looms of life weave fast and sure With threads of joys and sorrows The longing of the yesterdays. With fond hopes of tomorrows, The golden thread in the cloth of life That none can touch or sever, Is the lasting love of mother's heart, That holds all else together. Sadly missed by her daughter, Mrs. L.E. Goyette and Family | |
| 8222 |  | Obituary- Miller, Laura 2 Laura Miller This community was greatly saddened Monday morning of this week when word was passed about that Mrs. Harry L. Miller has been called into eternity. She passed away at 2:00 o’clock Monday morning after a seven day illness with pneumonia. Two nurses had been by her bedside and the best that medical skill could do was done to aid her in her battle with the disease. Laura Alice Rose was born in Holton, Kansas, April 8, 1862. As a girl of 12 years of age she united in church fellowship with the Methodist Episcopal church. She grew to womanhood in her home town. In September 1884, she was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Charles M. Eddy. To this union one daughter, Edith, was born. In the year 1888 sorrow was her portion in the loss of her husband by death. For six years she bravely faced her duty in providing for herself and daughter. On the 15th day on February 1894, she was married to H. L. Miller at Holton, Kansas, and a few weeks later they came to Rossville and for over thirty-one years have made this city their home. Mrs. Miller has been actively engaged in the various religious, social and community enterprises. She was a charter member of the Ladies Literary and Music Circle, member of the Order of Eastern Star, Security Benefit Association, trustee and communion steward of the Methodist church. She also shared in the business of her husband, tithing her income as a good steward of the Kingdom. Her home was graced with the advent of another daughter, Clare, who grew to womanhood in this community. At the time her earthly life closed November 9, she was 63 years, 7 months and six days old. She was loved, esteemed and highly regarded by her family, neighbors and a wide circle of friends and business acquaintances. She was loyal to every great interest of her life and had entered the Menninger Bible Study classes in Topeka. She was a faithful worker in the church, doing her best until her health became such as to cause her to seek release from so many activities. The community loses a true Christian character, the church a faithful member and her family a devoted wife and mother. She leaves to mourn her departure, her husband, the two daughters, Edith O’Shaughnessey, of Topeka and Clare Goyette, of Omaha; two brothers, J. W. Rose, Hasty, Colorado and W. B. Rose of ElDorado, Kansas. Funeral services were held Wednesday at the home at 1:00 o’clock, conducted by the Rev. G. C. Albin, of the Methodist church. Music was furnished by Messrs. N. S. Clothier, of St. Marys, A. A. Cless, Mrs. Peter Navarre and Miss Edith Higginbotham. Miss Velma Lambotte was pianist. The pallbearers were: Messrs. W. V. Hook, E. G. Griswold, C. E. VanVleck, C. E.

| 8250 |  | Obituary- Milligan, Jack JACK MILLIGAN Jack Milligan, aged 74, died Saturday forenoon at the Henry McGuire home. Mr. Milligan had spent the past 30 or 35 years, off and on, living along the Kaw River between Cross Creek and the vicinity of Maple Hill trapping and fishing. At the time of his death he had been living in a tent near the mouth of Cross Creek or Dr. Miller’s land. Early last week he fell and badly bruised his face and evidently in so weakened condition his foot landed in his wood stove and was badly burned. Exposure brought on pneumonia. Some local men chopping wood nearby finally induced him to come to town and he was brought to the McGuire home last Thursday. Mr. Milligan was close mouthed about his living relatives, if any, and about his personal affairs. He had been a roamer all his life, working at times in the South, in the mountain states and on the west coast The body was taken in charge by the county authorities and he was buried at Topeka Tuesday of this week. |
