| 11018 |  | Obituary- Yocum, David D.W. Yocum, Pioneer Business Man, Dead After Brief Illness The people of Rossville were shocked beyond expression last Friday morning about 10:30 when the word was passed telling of the decease of Dave Yocum at his home. Many had seen him as he passed along the street as usual earlier in the day to open his store. His last illness began during the night, but he rallied and felt capable of going about his business as usual. However, sometime after he opened the store he began feeling ill again and sought his physicians. He was advised to go home, which he did. It was only a short time thereafter until he expired. The deceased gentleman was the last of our early day business men. During his business career he was successfully painter, decorator, restaurant man and general merchant. During his long career here he had gained the respect and esteem of the people and was known as a square man, generous and kindhearted to the extreme. The last venture in the mercantile business began only a few months ago, after a year's absence while he and Mrs. Yocum lived on their farm northeast of town. Mrs. Yocum plans to carry on as usual in the store to take care of the nice little business that has naturally returned to its founder. David W. Yocum was born in Perry County, Pennsylvania, April 27, 1858 and died on April 1st, 1927 at his home in Rossville. He came to Kansas in the year 1880 and since that time has resided in and near Rossville. He was united in marriage in 1901 to Rebecca Vorhies. In 1905 he affiliated with the Methodist church and until the time of his departure was one of their most faithful members. For the past few years he has been engaged in the mercantile business in Rossville. He was honest in all business transactions and respected by his fellow citizens. He was always willing and ready to assist in the work of the church and the upbuilding of his community. The funeral services were conducted Sunday, April 3rd at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church. Rev. G.C. Albin of Topeka the officiating minister was assisted by Rev. Pritchett. Interment was in the Rossville cemetery. Those who survive are, his wife, one son, three grandchildren, two sisters, and three brothers. [From 7 Apr 1927] | |
| 11019 |  | Obituary- Yocum, Earl Obituary. In memory of Earl Yocum Earl Yocum was born January 3rd, 1886, died Feb. 24, 1903, in St. Louis, Mo., at the home of his aunt, Mrs. D.F. Brown, where in the presence of his loving and devoted mother and dear aunt Mary he passed his young life over to the keeping of his Heavenly Father. Earl was sick only one short week with pneumonia when the Father called him home. He was employed as stock boy in the large dry goods store of D.C. Crawford and the manager said of him: "He was the best boy we have had in this department for 16 years - always so truthful, honest, polite and obliging. Ever ready to do the work mapped out for him. We never expect to get a boy to fill the place as Earl filled it." Take courage, mother, father and brother. Blessed hope, sweet consolation that enables one when starting down the slippery banks of the Jordan of death, when the dashing waves of that remorseless river are already throwing the icy spray of its water around the soul, to look beyond the dark stream to the bright fields, to the pearly gates to the golden paved streets and finally up to the throne of the eternal King. To lean calmly and trustingly upon that arm that never wearies and place implicit confidence in him who has said "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." Take courage, dear mother, and hope to the end of the night will soon pass and the day will soon dawn, then death will sadden no hearts and dim no eyes for the Lord will wipe away all tears. A Friend [Feb 1903] --- Earl Yocum, aged 17 years, died at his aunt's home in St. Louis, Mo., Tuesday of pneumonia. The remains were shipped to this city and funeral services held in the Presbyterian Church conducted by Rev. Nelson, yesterday. The NEWS joins with the friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved relatives in this city. | |

| 11027 |  | Obituary- York, Henry Died, Sunday, February 16, 1902, at El Paso, Texas, Henry T. York, after a lingering illness. He was born September 8th, 1877, at Rossville, Kansas, where he has continuously resided with his parents until last fall when he was removed to Texas in the hope that a change of climate would prove beneficial to his failing health. He gradually grew weaker, however, until Sunday morning, February 16th, when the relatives in this city were summoned by that saddest of messages, “Come, Henry is dying.” Henry was attended throughout his fatal illness by the dearest of earthly friends – mother. His last moments were comforted by a mother’s gentle, soothing, loving ministrations. His brother Charlie and sister Emma, joined the mother in the faraway land and at the mother’s request, Henry was laid to rest in the beautiful El Paso cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn. Henry T. York graduated from the Kansas State Agricultural College, Manhattan, Kansas, in the Mechanical Engineering course, June 13, 1901. Later, he secured a position in a Manual Training school, at Ackley, Iowa, as assistant principal, where he taught Algebra and Geometry, Physics and Manual Training. His upright life and noble character won the love and respect of his pupils, associates and all with whom he came in contact. After a few months service in Ackley College he was forced to resign on account of failing health. Great sympathy goes out to the parents, brother and sisters of this gentle, kind and much loved young man, and to the hundreds who were bound to him by the strongest ties of friendship. As for Henry, nothing more need be added. It is well with him. | |
