  Obituary- Denton, Reuben and Denton, Zoa MR. AND MRS. REUBEN DENTON Tragedy in its cruelest form was portrayed at the Catholic church Wednesday morning when the friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Denton gathered to pay them a final tribute. Unbelievable as it seems, the occasion was a double funeral-and a requiem high Mass was being sung for the repose of both of their souls. Ailing for many months with a stomach disorder, Mr. Denton was bed-ridden last Friday morning at 7 o’clock when he learned that his wife and tenderest of nurses had died suddenly of a heart attack. As if the added weight of this sorrow was too much to bear, the 79-year old farmer passed away the following Sunday evening, within 60 hours of the departure of his life-long companion. The deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Denton took place on their farm near Burlingame, where they moved in 1929 after leaving the old home place here in Sandy Hook. Mr. Denton would have been 80 years old next October, his wife 70 years old next July. Married at Dover in 1880, they would soon have observed their 55th wedding anniversary. Reuben William Denton was born October 20, 1855, in Little Rock Ark. Zoa Sarah Denton was a native Kansan and was born near the site of Dover on July 20, 1865. It was in the mid-nineties that the couple bought the 80-acre farm along the banks of the Kaw in Sandy Hook, and it was there that they reared their large family of twelve children. Eight of these children survive: Mrs. George Cook of Minneapolis, Kansas; Mrs. Charles Bixby, Rossville; Mrs. John Allen, Topeka; Jess Denton, Maple Hill; Mrs. J. B. Powell, Mrs. Fred Smith and Miss Ellen Denton of Kansas City; and Leroy Denton of Burlingame. Wednesday’s requiem Mass here was sung by Father Portlatz of Burlingame. Interment was made in Mt. Calvary cemetery. There were two separate groups of pallbearers, nearly all farmers. These were Ernest Ronsse, A. A. Ronsse, Frank Pearl, Leo Reding, Theodore Stockman, Henry Stockman, Francis Stockman, Leo Lenherr, Achille DeDonder, John Glynn, George Schroeder and Nick Coffey. – St. Marys Star Mr. and Mrs. Osto Patton, Mr. and Mrs. Ira White of Topeka drove to St. Marys this morning to attend the double funeral service of their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Denton held from the Immaculate Conception church.
