| 8453 |  | Obituary- Myers, Lyle Lyle Charles Myers was born at St. Clere, Pottawatomie Co., Kansas, Sept. 23, 1895, departed this life June 30, 1919, aged 23 years, 10 months and 7 days. Lyle had not been in good health since he had the Flu about the 21st of February, being sick only a week and probably went back to work too soon, as he continued to have a bad cough. His diary, in which he kept a strict account of everything he did of any importance each day, told just when he was Hick. His landlady, Mrs. Appleton of Kansas City, said she had told him to get some medicine for his cough, which he did, but had taken only a few doses of it. Lyle enlisted in the U. 8. navy in the radio wireless service, Nov. 28, 1917. He spent five months at the Great Lakes training station, came home the following April on a ten day furlough and shortly after his return to Great Lakes was sent to Harvard university. He remained there live mouths and then was sent to New London, Conn., where he took up wireless telephone work until he was discharged on December 20, 1918, subject to recall. He came home and spent one happy week with home folks. On January 1, 1919, he went to Kansas City where he was employed by the street railway company as a motorman and was still in their employ when he met his death. With two of his roommates, boys he was with while in the navy and his landlady and several other friends had made up a little party on Monday evening, June 30, at d gone out to Winnwood Lake on a bathing trip. Lyle had only been in the water about 15 minutes when his chum missed him. He said he thought he felt Lyle’s hands brush him as he went down. He was under the water about ten minutes before they got him out. The Doctor pronounced it heart failure as there was no water in his lungs. He made no noise or outcry, his companions report, just threw up his hands and went down. Lyle was a boy that always lived a strictly honest, upright life. His diary shows a regular attendance at church and that he had kept up his remittances to the M. E. church almost every week wherever he happened to be. He always attended the Methodist church. He was always kind and thoughtful and made hosts of friends wherever he went. A letter written to his mother the same day and not quite finished, proved he had not forgotten home folks. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Manion at the Presbyterian church, Friday, July 4th at 3 p. m. and interment made in the Rossville cemetery. Many beautiful flowers were sent by friends in Kansas City, Topeka and by home folks. | |

| 8473 |  | Obituary- Nadeau, Paul 2 “Chow” Nadeau Last week this community lost one of its citizens who will probably live in the minds of the community a long time. Paul Edward Nadeau or best known as “Chow” grew up in this community an ideal athlete. He can be remembered as being on the team as you like to see boys or men. He may or may not have been an outstanding player, but he was there, needed by his fellow men, and liked. He just did his job in a sportsman-like manner that led the team to the top. Chow didn’t grow out of sports as some do. He was in there pitching until his dying day. If he was’nt coaching the team, he was always on the sidelines boosting for his team to win. Chow’s latest efforts were toward the town’s baseball teams that he helped promote, coach, umpire or just serve anywhere he could. Probably to many citizens, Chow was a quiet mannered fellow. Many had never talked directly to him, but most everyone knew him. Few have heard him raise his voice in anger. Yes, the community will miss Chow but when the spring baseball season opens and the grandstand is filled, if they will look up over the dust of the diamond toward the sky, he’ll be there watching in his quiet manner and boosting the little fellows toward victory. | |

| 8483 |  | Obituary- Nason, Blanche Blanche Nason Word was received in Rossville this week of the death of Miss Blanche Nason, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Nason of Wichita. She passed away Thursday, November 12 at the Seward general hospital at Valdez, Alaska. Miss Nason was born on a farm northeast of Rossville forty-three years ago, and while a young girl moved with her parents to Topeka, where she grew to womanhood, completing her grade and high school education in the Topeka schools. Later she entered Kansas State College and completed her junior year and then finished her college work in the University of Washington. After twelve years of teaching in schools at Manhattan, Kansas, Colorado and Bellingham, Wash., she accepted a call to Sitka, Alaska, where she worked as supervisor in the Sheldon Jackson school for three years. She returned to Washington later and entered the Whitworth College at Spokane. Her church synod ordained her to the gospel ministry there and she returned to Alaska which she felt sure was God's appointed field of labor for her. Such scripture as Deut. 36:6; Isaiah 51:16 and Isaiah 55:11, were precious promises made vivid at that time. Aboard ship she was told of the town of Valdez, and the need there, and upon urgent request decided to stop awhile, not dreaming that it was to be her permanent location. Miss Nason was the founder of the Home for Homeless and Afflicted children at Valdez, Alaska, known as ElNathan Home. She had felt the call for children's home work since her conversion at the age of eleven years and her many years of teaching made a splendid background of experience for the work she engaged in. She made a complete consecration for full time service to God and took a year and a half in training for Christian Leadership in the Los Angeles Bible Institute. Miss Nason leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Nason, and a brother, Earl of Wichita; her aunt, Mrs. Joe Shenk of this city and an uncle, Lew Nason of Topeka, and many other relatives. No details have been received as to the cause of her death of funeral arrangements. [From 19 Nov 1936] | |
| 8484 |  | Obituary- Nason, James Obituary. Died, Wednesday, June 17th, 1891, James Nason, aged 64. Funeral services were held at the house on Thursday afternoon. The discourse was given by the Rev. F.S. Allman, who took for his text Isaiah XXXIII:17: "Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is very far off." He spoke of Christ in his days of humiliation and of the Christian during his pilgrimage, pointing out the fact that the toilsome road, wearisome as it may be, is a Royal road, leading to the New Jerusalem, where the King will be seen in his beauty. He testified to the Christian character of the deceased, and of the pious resignation that possessed him as his feet touched Jordan's brink. He told of the fervent manner in which the dying man grasped his hand last Sunday and assured him that he had no regret and no despair, though certain that his departure was at hand. Mr. Nason was one of those men who do great good in the world. While frugal, industrious, and wise in the management of his temporal affairs, he kept before him, both in thought and action, the weighty things of eternity, thereby occupying the full sphere which God arranged for man. The funeral procession was a very large one. The pall bearers were: W.G. Gilbert, B. Swearingen, Daniel Wilt, T.J. Cox, Henry Miller, Geo. A. Weller.

There's a pair of little hands laid to rest forevermore; There's two dimpled cheeks whose rich blossoming is o'er; death has sealed two little eyes which will not more smile nor weep tiny windows of the soul, Little John has gone to sleep. There's another Bud removed ere it felt the blight of sin; Through the door the Angles [sic] move, darling John has passed in, He has reached the Golden Shore crossed the river cold and deep; Angles [sic] bore him safely o'er Little John has gone to sleep. He will wake in fairer lands where the Angel band doth sing, there the Flower it will expand, There will all perfection bring far beyond the azure skies; Where the tiny star eyes peep from all earths cares, doubts or fears, Little Johns gone to sleep. Angels bore him safely home, so for him we will not weep. Gently to the doorway come; Little John has gone to sleep. [From The Rossville Reporter, March 15, 1912] | |
