She and Harry had two children, William Engle who died in infancy and Susan Engle who preceded her in death. Gloria enjoyed playing cards with friends and was a Life Master at Bridge. She enjoyed cooking and crossword puzzles and was a dedicated Bingo player.

Shellabarger took charge of the body to prepare for burial at 4 p. m. Thursday. Funeral services will be held later. Obituary will be published next week.

| 5405 |  | Obituary- Enos, Margaret MARGARET ENOS Margaret Evans, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Evans, was born Nov¬ember 22, 1850 in Oneida County, N.Y. She was one of 11 children, all of whom with the parents are now de¬ceased. She was of Welch descent, both her father and mother were born in Wales, and this gave her a good heritage from a strong devout ancestry. She was united in marriage with Pascal Enos at Topeka, in 1876 and after a happy family life of ten years, Mr. Enos passed away leaving her with two little children, Zimria Enos of Perry, Kansas and Pascal Enos, Jr., of Oklahoma City. She met the struggle in those pioneer days with her little family in such a successful way, meeting the hard¬ships and difficulties and surmount¬ing them, using the best that she had for the battle of life. The boys were present in her last days and when she passed away. She was a college graduate of some institution in New York and had taught school for ten years prior to her marriage and after the death of Mr. Enos she went back again into the school room at Kingsville for a period of two years where she had taught. She was a successful mother, not only to her own boys but gave at least three girls a good chance in life, Dora James, Mrs. Nettie Startup McKoun, Wichita, Ks., and Mrs. Zena Loveland of To¬peka, who gave affectionate atten¬tion to her foster-mother during her recent illness. She had been a member of the Methodist church since childhood, taught in the Sunday School and associated in every department of church life and work. She was also a member of the Eastern Star and had great regard for her associates in that society. She went to the Methodist Home November 6, 1926, from Rossville, Kansas, where she had battled with the struggles of life, and the boys having married, left her all alone, so from November 6, 1926 until now she had a little respite in this “house by the side of the way of life.” She was an omnivorous reader, sitting up late in the night and seemed to be at home and in good company when she had found a good book. After attending a service at the Cowman Memorial church, which she greatly enjoyed, coming out of the church she missed a step and fell and was brought home and attended by a physician and after some little tune seemed to recover, but as we now remember perhaps she never was recovered from the injury to the back of her head when she fell on the hard sidewalk. She has gone to her reward and has made such an impression upon those with whom she lived and has established such affectionate rela¬tions not only with the children and their families but with her neigh¬bors and friends that we will all want to go whither she has gone— in God’s Good Time. The funeral services was con¬ducted by Rev. Zook assisted by Dr. S.B. Alderson, former pastor of the Presbyterian church and close friend of the family, Tuesday after¬noon, March 6. The music was furnished by Mrs. Wm. Butters, Mrs. Clyde Cless, Rev. Gordon Pritchett and J.D. Fink, with Mrs. E.G. Griswold, pianist.

| 5435 |  | Obituary- Estes, George Obituary. George W. Estes died Sunday morning, at about 5 o'clock, at the residence of his son-in-law, M.F. Tatman, aged 84 years. He leaves behind him nine children, two of whom reside in Rossville, namely, J. Estes and Mrs. M.F. Tatman. The deceased was born in Kentucky, within three miles of the Mammoth Cave. At the age of 25 years he was married to Miss Corrilla Crane, whose home was near Lexington, Kentucky. Ten years later he moved to Iowa, and 22 years ago took up his abode in Rossville, where he followed the farming business. During his declining years he resided with Mr. and Mrs. M.F. Tatman, who made his life one of ease and comfort. The funeral took place last Monday morning. The sermon was preached by Rev. J.G. Maver, who took as the basis of his remarks the 11th verse of the 16th Psalm, "Thou wilt shew me the path of life; in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures forever more." the reverend gentleman spoke tenderly and feelingly of the many acts of kindness that had been shown him by Mr. and Mrs. Estes in by-gone years, and of the practical piety they constantly interwove with their lives. The deceased was a member of the Baptist church of this place, having allied himself with it soon after arriving in Rossville. His latter days were solaced by the truths of the Christian religion, and he was comforted and cheered by the bright anticipation he enjoyed of meeting in the next world his departed wife, and other friends and relatives who had preceded him to the grave. The rainbow of promise and hope cheered him during the last days of his earthly pilgrimage and enabled him to say with Israel's King: "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." | |

| 5442 |  | Obituary- Evers, Stephen FIRE CLAIMS LIFE OF SMALL CHILD JUNE 2 Stephen Louis Evers, 18-month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Evers, Holts Summit, Mo., was burned to death following an explosion in the basement of the family home. The baby’s mother is the former Connie Eastman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ward, Delia, Ks. Mrs. Frances Marney, Rossville, is a maternal grandmother. The explosion occurred about 3:30 p.m. Friday, when Evers was in the basement with his son working with a gasoline lawnmower, according to the State Highway Patrol. The lawnmower apparently exploded and flames from the gasoline spread quickly throughout the one-story frame dwelling. Evers reportedly rushed out of the basement safely but then realized his little boy was trapped in the flames. He was badly burned after returning to rescue the child, according to his wife, who was upstairs at the time of the explosion. Mrs. Evers drove the two in the family car to a mobile home sales office nearby, where an ambulance was called. The owner of the mobile home firm then notified the patrol and the New Bloomfield, Mo., volunteer fire department, which responded to the blaze about 45 minutes later. The home was engulfed by flames shortly after the firemen arrived and all their possessions were lost in the fire. Roger Evers, 30, was listed in critical condition Saturday at the University of Missouri Medical Center in Columbia where he was taken. Funeral services were held for the baby on Monday morning at 11:00 a.m. at the Dulle Funeral Home. He was born September 24, 1971, at Jefferson City. In addition to his parents, he is survived by one brother, Robert Gene Evers of the home; his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ward, Delia; his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Frances Marney, Rossville; his maternal great grandmother, Mrs. Iona Ward, Fair Dealing, Mo.; and his maternal great, great grandmother, Mrs. Rose Marney, Topeka. The rosary was recited at 8:00 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home. Reverend John Buchanan officiated at the services. Burial was in Resurrection Cemetery. | |
| 5443 |  | Obituary- Eversole, George Eversole George W. Eversole, son of John H. and Mary A. Eversole, was born at Peabody, Kansas, February 15, 1895. At the time he departed this life he was 31 years, 8 months and 13 days old. He spent a few years of his boyhood in Arkansas, coming to Rossville when 16 years old. On November 10, 1920, he was married to Mabel A. Binns, who with two little daughters, Patricia Lee and Frances, survive him. One little daughter having preceded him in infancy, the other surviving relatives are: his mother, Mrs. J. H. Eversole, three sisters, Mrs. L.P. Hartzell and Mrs. Riley Wood of Rossville and Mrs. J.A. Roush, of Albuquerque, N.M., and one brother, John of Pocatello, Idaho. George united with the Methodist church of Rossville in young manhood. He engaged in various lines of work in Rossville then became a tool dresser in the oil fields. At the time of his departure on October 28, 1926 he was living in El Dorado, Kansas. He could not survive the shock of an appendicitis operation. George was a merry, lovable boy who won friends wherever he went. This last fact was very strongly shown in El Dorado by the deeds of kindness and words of sympathy from his associates there. George was a devoted son, to his aged mother and an unusually strong family tie bound him to his three sisters and his one brother. He was a kind and thoughtful husband and father. He was industrious and honest and one of his greatest comforts was the fact that he was leaving $5,000 old line insurance to his wife and babies. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Berg of the Presbyterian church, Sunday, October 31, at 2:30, at the home of F. N. Binns. The body was laid to rest in the Rossville cemetery. The large gathering of friends and relatives and the beautiful floral offerings spoke forcibly of the high esteem in which George was held and of the sympathy for his family. George Eversole passed away at 3 o’clock this morning in an El Dorado hospital, following an operation last Saturday for appendicitis.
