| 10162 |  | Obituary- Swetlick, Paul B. 1 Paul Swetlick Dies On Wednesday Evening Last, From The Wound of a Revolver Shot at the Hands of an Unknown Assassin or Assassins. Paul Swetlick who was shot by an unknown assassin on the evening of Sunday, Oct. 23, died Wednesday evening about 10:45, from the effects of the wounds. Mr. Swetlick was a gentleman who was respected by everyone who know him. A man of integrity and upright business principles. His death at the hand of an unknown assassin under the cover of darkness will be deeply mourned and regretted. In this Christian land and among God fearing people it seems wrong to encourage lawlessness, yet there are times when society is so heinously outraged by those who have no respect for the laws of God, or laws of man, that Judge Lynch seems to have the only and efficacious remedy. We trust that his assassin will be detected and justice meted out to him, and society be thereby vindicated in the displacement of the man or men so unworthy of civilized society. The coroners inquest and autopsy took place on Thursday, Nov. 3, and result and verdict of the surgeons and coroner's jurors was as follows, to-wit: The coroner's inquest upon the body of Paul Swetlick was holden on Thursday, at the home of James Murray in Jackson Co.. The coroner of Jackson county, was not present, and Justice Brown presided as acting coroner. The jury was composed of the following gentlemen: David Cunningham, B.D. Cunningham, Ed. McNeave, John Franz, A.B. Moore and Mr. Himes. The autopsy was made by Dr. Miller of Rossville and Dr. Sheldon of Topeka, in the presence of J.F. Nailor, sheriff of Jackson Co., J.Q. Myers of Holton, and B.C. Mitchner of Rossville. The result of the autopsy confirmed the diagnosis of the surgeons made shortly after the ould was made. The ball entered at about the twelfth rib separating the tissue in its course, ranging upward and entered the lower posterior side of the left lung for about the distance of five inches, carrying with it particles of clothing; and was thus found lodged in the lung at the post mortem examination. Upon opening the body the following conditions were observed: The lung cavity was filled with two quarts of bloody serum which of course was removed. The lungs were highly congested and suppuration had begun on the heart, and the liver was also badly congested. Taking the general condition of the attachments in consideration it is marvelous that he lived so long. The autopsy was in every way thoroughly and skillfully performed. Sheriff Nailor and J.Q. Myers left no stone unturned in their attempt to discover the assassin. The inquest was conducted by County Attorney Herald of Jackson county, ably assisted by Sheriff Nailor. The verdict of the jury was as [continued in file 2] [From The Weekly Critic, Friday, November 4, 1892] | |
| 10163 |  | Obituary- Swetlick, Paul B. 2 [continued from file 1] usual in such cases: "Died at the hands of an unknown person, some developments were made of which for judicious reason we would refrain from commenting upon. The testimony of Drs. Miller and Sheldon, Joe. Brovintz, Annie Stach, John Stach, Joe Stach, Ed. Matche, Fred Nowark, Wm. Listiko, John Asherman and several others were taken and each witness carefully examined. No labor nor money will be spared in investigating this most heinous and dastardly act. Funeral took place to-day from the home of the deceased and was buried in Rossville. [From The Weekly Critic, Friday, November 4, 1892] | |

| 10176 |  | Obituary- Tatman, Melville 1 M.F. Tatman Dead M.F. Tatman, one of the eldest and most highly respected citizens of northwest Shawnee, died at his home on north Main street, this city, at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, after an illness of but a few days. The immediate cause of death was due to lung trouble. But few knew the seriousness of his illness and the announcement caused a shock to the entire community and every heart is filled with sorrow for he was known and beloved by all for his kind and generous disposition. The funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian Church tomorrow (Sat.) at 1 o’clock, p.m. and will be conducted by Rev. H.L. Nelson assisted by Rev. J.G. Maver, of Topeka. The obituary will be published next week. [From The Rossville Reporter, Friday, October 5, 1906] | |
| 10177 |  | Obituary- Tatman, Melville 2 Obituary M.F. Tatman was whole-souled, kind hearted and unselfish. He had been associated with the social and business interests of Rossville for thirty years and so far as known there are none but bow the head in mute sympathy and pain in the keener sorrow of the bereaved wife at his going away. Scarcely is it given to man in his walk of life to enjoy a free or fuller confidence, a more substantial friendship of the people of his home than that bestowed upon M.F. Tatman. He lived a simple, unostentatious life, full of good deeds and of charity for his fellow man. One of the characteristics of Mr. Tatman was his readiness to respond to an appeal for the unfortunate or those in distress. He was sympathetic in his nature and in a quiet modest way he was always helping the needy. In talking with a close friend the writer was told of a circumstance that illustrates this trait of character. Not many months ago Mr. Tatman met an acquaintance who had been sick for some time, and whose resources were limited. After enquiring after his health he reached over as though to brush something from the vest of the man and then assuring him he would be glad to help him in any way possible, left. Presently the man had occasion to feel in the pocket of his vest and was surprised to find a $5 bill. Thus Mr. Tatman always tried to hide his benevolence but in the minds of those who knew his tenderness of heart and who have personal knowledge of his wholly unselfish disposition, his memory will remain with them unvarnished while life lasts. In his home life he was all cheerfulness, love and tenderness, always patient, gentle, and devoted. He was not given to sham and cared only for the really good and true. M.F. Tatman was born in Ohio, in the year 1842. When a boy of 12 years he came west to Platte county, Mo. In 1872 he came to Kansas and for a time clerked in a potion store at Leavenworth. Later he drifted farther west stopping a short time at Perryville, where he clerked for a Dr. Phillips. From there he came to Rossville and began clerking in the store of Higginbotham & Kerr. In 1876 he went in partnership with Mr. D. Hartzell in what was then known as the Kansas Valley drug store and this relationship existed up to the time of his death, Oct. 3, 1906. Mr. Tatman was naturally of frail constitution and for several years past had not enjoyed good health. His last sickness was of but short-duration however and he was confined to his bed but four days when death called him into the mysteries of an unseen world. Mr. Tatman was a believer in Christianity and had been a member of the Baptist Church since 1872. He was married to Alice M. Estes in this city in the spring of 1880, Rev. J.G. Maver being the officiating minister. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian Church, Saturday afternoon conducted by his old-time pastor, Eld. J.G. Maver, now of Topeka. Eld. Maver was assisted in the service by Rev. H.L. Nelson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. The church was filled to its utmost capacity, many being compelled to remain outside on the lawn during the ceremony. The floral offerings were elaborate and profuse and came from many sources. During the service at the church every business house in town was closed as a tribute of respect to so worthy a citizen—neighbor—friend and companion. The burial took place in the city cemetery. The relatives from a distance who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Teter, and Mrs. Lauren Teter of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Wilcox and Mrs. Stevenson of Topeka and Mr. Fred Stevenson of Atchison. During his long residence here Mr. Tatman gradually acquired a competence and at the time of his death owned two farms just west of town and a 40-acre tract adjoining town on the north. Only last year he completed a $5,000 residence on his property on north Main street. The familiar figure of M.F. Tatman on the streets of Rossville will be greatly missed; the vacancy of the home will be a reminder of a devoted husband. His race is run—his lifework ended, but memories of his kindliness and his genial comradeship will remain to enrich the lives of all who knew him. He has journeyed on thru the vale of mystery that separates us from that bright and purer world to the rich reward prepared for those who have anchored their faith in God. | |

Deeply sympathizing with you in your loss, I am, Respectfully, P.C. Harris, Adj. Gen.

He was wounded Nov. 5 in the battle in the Argonne Forest.

| 10182 |  | Obituary- Taylor, Jean Jean June Taylor Jean June Taylor, 86, of Silver Lake, passed away Tuesday, November 27, 2018. She was born October 11, 1932, in Boston, Massachusetts, the daughter of Albert and Ruth (Shellmer) Quinlan. Jean and her siblings grew up in the Irish/ Italian neighborhoods of East Boston during the 1930's. She was nicknamed 'Quin' in her youth and made a name defending her twin sister Joanie against school bullies at East Boston High School. After she graduated high school she worked in the dietary department at Boston's Mass General Hospital. She was street smart, Boston tough, and Boston stubborn...all traits the beautiful 21-year-old brought with her to Kansas after meeting and marrying the love of her life, Merle Taylor. Merle was a crewman on the USS Block Island and had docked in Boston for a week. Jean saw him at a club, dropped her handkerchief to catch his attention, and the rest became history. Jean and Merle were married on September 4, 1954 in Milton, Massachusetts, and then moved to Silver Lake where Merle farmed with his family. Jean adjusted to country life and together she and Merle raised five children. Through it all she never let the Boston accent go (you can take a kid out of Boston but you can't take the Boston accent out of Jean Taylor!). Jean operated an in-home daycare for years and then became famously known as Silver Lake's Pizza Lady, making pizza at Casey's General Store for 15 years. Jean's life was full of love, orneriness, and fun. She loved family gatherings and she absolutely loved spending time with her grandchildren and great granddaughter. She will be dearly missed. Jean lived for the past three years at Oakley Place in Rossville, where she endeared herself to all. She was well cared for by her children and the caring staff at Oakley Place. She was preceded in death by her husband Merle, her twin sister, Joan Moody; sister Barbara Vesowate, and brothers, Al Quinlan and Walter Quinlan. Survivors include children, Susan (Steve) Tate, Edward (Terri) Taylor, Mark (Jacque) Taylor, Bill (Janice) Taylor, all of Silver Lake, and Brenda (Ronald) Payne of Meriden; 12 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. A Funeral Ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 1, 2018 at Parker-Price Cremations, Funerals & Receptions, 245 NW Independence Ave., Topeka, Kansas.
