• Documents		Obituary- Cerny, Louise Louise Anne Cerny KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Louise Anne Cerny, 2 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cerny was killed about 5:15 o’clock Saturday evening and the child’s mother painfully injured when the Ford coupe in which Mrs. Cerny, the baby and Mrs. Fred Stalker were riding, was overturned by a hit-and-run driver. The accident occurred near the central entrance to the Rossville cemetery as Mrs. Cerny and her mother were driving to the Cerny home on the Yocum farm. The home is only a short distance east of the scene of the accident. Ordinarily the road is little used by traffic, but since the detour to Silver Lake was routed to Grove many motorists acquainted with this shortcut have been using the road. A Dodge sedan, occupies by a Mr. and Mrs. Rhyne and their two daughters of Manhattan, enroute to Topeka, came up behind the Stalker car and honked several times for passage. The road is narrow and had recently been graded. Fearing a collision Mrs. Stalker selected the widest place she could see in the road and pulled out giving half the road. The Dodge sedan pulled around the Stalker car and swerved in ahead of Mrs. Stalker compelling her to pull her car outside the track. They drove fender to fender for a short distance when a sudden jolt threw the baby through the window of the door. The car fell on its side, pinning the baby beneath the door frame. Mrs. Cerny’s leg was caught in the door of the car and she was unable to reach her baby. Her leg was badly injured. Mrs. Stalker, who was uninjured, climbed out the opposite door and hastened to the Frank Dannifer home a quarter of a mile west to summon help. In the meantime Mr. and Mrs. ? E. Ishmael of Rossville and two other auto parties returning from Topeka arrived and lifted the car off the baby and released Mrs. Cerny. The baby was past help. These people caught a part of the number of the license on the Dodge, or enough to identify it as a Riley county tag. The car was later identified as that of Mr. Rhyne. He claims he did not remember passing any car and was certain he had not collided with the Stalker Ford. However, those who met his car farther east allege he was driving at great speed. Shawnee county officers went to Manhattan Monday and brought Mr. Rhyne to Topeka to face a charge of reckless driving and possibly more serious charge if evidence could be secured to justify its filing. Rhyne is a former school head at Manhattan. The accident is one of the saddest that has ever occurred in this community and the tenderest sympathy of the Rossville people goes out to the bereaved young parents and the relatives. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the Methodist church conducted by the Ren. Gordon S. Pritchett, of Overbrook, Kansas, a former pastor of the Rossville Methodist church. He was assisted by Rev. E. R. Foiles. Music was furnished by Mrs. Wm. Butters, Mrs. A. Wallerstedt, Mrs. C. E. Gresser, Mrs. E. E. Witter, with Miss Leona Griswold at the piano. The pallbearers were little girls including Maxine Miller, Lula Rachel Dannifer, Geraldine Fawl and Viola Strimple. Little Louise Anne was laid to rest in Rossville cemetery. Louise was born here Sept. 1, 1928, and was 2 years, 1 month and 11 days old at the date of her death. Beside her parents, she is survived by the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. F. Stalker, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cerny. Out-of-town relatives here for the funeral were Miss Beth Stalker, Mr. Glenn Stalker, Mrs. Alta Owens, Mrs. Mildred Hargis, Mrs. Verna Hargis, Topeka; Dr. C.L. Stalker, Kansas City; Mr. and Mrs. Alvah Houck, Mrs. Anna Houck, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Houck and Mr. and Mrs. Evan Lewelling, Delia; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kalcik, Silver Lake; Mr. and Mrs. John Seitz, St. Marys; Mrs. James Bartos, Mr. and Mrs. John Slansky and daughter of Plainville.
