| 10956 |  | Obituary- Wood, Richard 2 He practiced the golden rule in his dealing with others and his life was a model of true christian citizenship. Mr. Wood was a great friend of the local newspaper. Once each year he called at the office and with his face beaming with good nature would pay his subscription and tell the editor what a good paper he was making and how much it was appreciated. And then with good wishes for our success he would depart. Each year his steps have grown more feeble and last January it was necessary to assist him into the office and we knew that his work on earth was almost done--that he was even then entering the shadows of the valley of death. He had passed on to a rich reward and while relatives and friends mourn his going, there is solace in the knowledge that all is well with him. Mr. Wood was a member of the Baptist Church. His funeral was held Thursday afternoon, April 7th, from the U.B. Church near his farm and was conducted by the Rev. H.L. Nelson of Topeka. A large concourse of neighbors and friends gathered to pay the last tribute of respect and extend sympathy to the bereaved relatives. The interment took place in the Rossville City cemetery. | |

| 10990 |  | Obituary- Wyatt, F. Marion Wyatt Died, Wednesday, July 27th, 1892, F.M. Wyatt, aged 56 years. Funeral services were conducted at Dr. H.H. Miller's residence, Thursday morning. The discourse was delivered by Rev. J.G. Maver, who spoke from Philippians 1st, last clause of 21st verse: "To die is gain." The reverend gentleman treated in a convincing manner of the reality, the fullness and the perpetuity of the "gain" that death brings to the Christian, and stated that the Christian's hope was that which solaced the deceased when the hour of death drew near and earthly things receded. Hymns suitable to the occasion were sung by the Presbyterian choir, with Miss Nettie Howard at the organ. Mr. Wyatt was injured in a railroad accident about a year ago, and from that time to the day of his death he was more or less an invalid, and his death was hastened by cancer of the stomach. His home was at Horton, but he was well known in Rossville, where he once resided. He was brother to Mrs. H.H. Miller, Mrs. E. Partello [sic- Partelow] and Perry Wyatt. | |
