| 10053 |  | Obituary- Stewart, Ulysses U.G. STEWART DEAD “U.G.” is dead. He has turned in his string. “30” is on the hook. His life’s work is done. We are sad. It’s with deepest sorrow we record the passing of U.G. Stewart, a former editor of the Reporter and lifelong friend of the present editor. For thirty-five years we have known and loved him well-—we have appre¬ciated his true self and enjoyed the privilege of his friendship. It’s hard to see him go. Few newspaper men were his equal. A wonderful writer, he could be brave and fearless when need be—-tender and kind when his heart dictated the policy of his paper. He possessed a faculty of dressing up his news stories in a cleverly entertaining manner and he could make the most insignificant item have an absorbing interest. All of us have wondered why a man of his ability stuck to a small town when his talents equipped him for greater financial return and a softer berth in the world of letters. But his philosophy taught that where a man’s work is, there also should his heart be. “U.G.”—-which stands for Ulysses Grant was born at Woodstock Richland county, Wisconsin, March 3, 1870. He was next to the young¬est in a family of nine children. After a short stay in Minnesota, he and his parents moved to Missouri and he spent many years of his life at Urich and Clinton. When about 30 years of age he came to Rossville. Soon after his arrival he entered the newspaper game with the late H.J. Richmond. In a few months he be¬came sole owner of the paper and conducted it until about 1912. In the meantime he was made post¬master and served about two years. In 1925 he again was appointed post-master and served ten years, leaving the office last fall. Mr. Stewart enjoyed assisting in community affairs ever since coming to Rossville, and took a keen interest in politics. He was local committee¬man at the time of his death. In all his years in politics he never sought perferment for himself but used his talents to advance the interest of friends. He was a great lover of music and his delight was with the band boys. He was never too tired nor too busy to meet with them in practise. His great personal charm, kindly, toler¬ant disposition combined with a rare patience caused many a youngster to carry on and advance in music when ready to give up in discourage¬ment. Almost equal with his love of music was his love for flowers. His south Navarre street home was surrounded with lovely blooms of every known variety and a show place of the town. His death Sunday night shortly after 11 o’clock, from an unexpected heart attack, was a shock to the people of the community. For the past month or six weeks he has been employed at the Boys’ Industrial School printing department as a foreman and instructor, and was happy in his new work. Funeral services were held Wed¬nesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Conwell mortuary in Topeka, con¬ducted by Rev. Wright Horton Music was furnished by Mrs. A.B Jamieson and Mrs. Albert Reser, ac¬companied by Miss Edith Higgin¬botham. The pallbearers were Messrs. Ted Fields, Joe Barney, C.W. Vorhies, H.E. McCollough, A.N. White and M.L. Whearty. The body was brought to Rossville cemetery for burial. Hesperian Lodge of which Mr. Stewart was a member had charge of the service at the grave. Surviving relatives are his widow Edith Stewart; a son Paul Stewart Washington, D.C.; three daughters Margaret Stewart, Topeka; Mrs. Mabel Miller, Willard; Mrs. Edna Shultz, Oklahoma City, Okla., and a sister, Mrs. A.E. Moore, Topeka. We extend heartfelt thanks for the many expressions of sympathy in our bereavement, the loss of husband and father; and for the beautiful floral offerings from kind friends and neighbors.

A TRIBUTE TO MAY STILES That’s Why I Called Her Friend One whose grip was a little tighter, One whose smile was a little brighter, That’s why I called her friend. One who’d lend as quick as borrow, One who would share your joy-and sorrow, That’s why I called her friend. One whose mind was a little keener, One who avoided those things that were meaner, That’s why I called her friend. One since she is gone we’ll miss her sadly, One we’d welcome back again gladly, One who though angered would not speak madly, That’s why I called her friend. One who was always willing to aid you, One whose advice has always paid you, One who’d you defend when others flayed you. That’s why I called her friend. One who was fine when life seemed rotten, One whose ideals we have not forgotten, One who has given us more than she’s gotten, That’s why I called her friend. --Selected by a Friend | |
