| 5258 |  | Obituary- Doud, Bernard Bernard Edward Doud Bernard Edward Doud was born in Rossville, KS. Aug. 24, 1898, lost his life Tuesday, Aug. 29, 1922, aged 24 years and 5 days. Eddie, as he was known to all his friends in the community, was educated in the Rossville schools, completing the high school course with the class of 1918. He was unusually ambitious to grow mentally and anxious to prosper and early developed the habit of thrift. In his effort to have steady employment he had spent much of the time since his graduation in railroad work away from Rossville. Soon after returning from a year's stay in the northwest, eh secured work with the Santa Fe Railroad Co., and it was while in their employ he lost his life at Olathe, when he fell on high voltage wires of the Olathe Power CO. His father, Eventus Doud, died a number of years ago, his death due to old injuries received in the Civil war. His brother Eventus Doud lost his life in the line of duty in the fighting in the Argonne Forest in France. Eddie was ready to take his brother's place and upon becoming twenty-one in 1918 had received orders to report for duty when the order was countermanded at the signing of the armistice. He was a member of the S.B.A. and Woodman lodges of Rossville. His untimely end is mourned by a host of friends and his mother, to whom he was unusually devoted and his dutiful attention to her at all times will forever be a comfort and cherished memory to her. One sister Mrs. P.R. Felker of Corvallis, Mont., also survives. Funeral services were held Saturday, Sept. 2, in the Methodist church, conducted by the Rev. H. L. Nelson, of Topeka, and interment made in the family lot in Rossville cemetery. Edward Doud Killed By Electrocution Bernard Edward Doud, aged 22, son of Mrs. Rose Doud of this city, was killed Monday afternoon between four and five o'clock, at Olathe when he fell across three high voltage wires of the Olathe Light and Power Co. The tragedy occurred within the city limits and hundreds of people looked on while the charred body was removed from across the wires. Members of the fire department used chemicals to extinguish the flames which enveloped Doud's body. Mr. Doud was employed as lineman for the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe wires and those of the Olathe light plant run on the same pole, the former's above. Mr. Doud, who was working alone at the time the tragedy occurred, slipped and fell across the wires from a cross arm on which he stood doing repair work. The body was brought to Rossville last night, in charge of Levi Marion, another Rossville man employed at Olathe, and taken to the home. Mrs. Rose Doud, the mother, had gone to Missoula, Mont., about two weeks ago, to stay with her daughter, Mrs. P.R. Felker, who was preparing to move to Cornwallis, Mont., where Mr. Felker is to take charge of a school. Mrs. Doud is enroute home due to arrive here tomorrow (Friday). The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church, conducted by the Rev. H.L. Nelson, of Topeka. Interment will be made in Rossville cemetery. | |
