| 11090 |  | Obituary- Zickefoose, Samuel W. 2 S. W. ZICKEFOOSE IS DEAD Samuel Warner Zickefoose, more familiarly known to Rossville people as ‘‘Pet" chief of detectives of Wichita, and formerly chief of detectives of Kansas City, Mo., died at Wesley hospital in Wichita at 1:30 o’clock Tuesday morning. Although Chief Zickefoose had been ill several weeks from infection of the gall bladder, the immediate cause of death, which was unexpected, was an attack of embolism sending a blood clot to the heart or brain. Death followed almost immediately. Monday the detective’s condition had improved to such an extent that he had planned to return to his home. He had been cheerful throughout the day and eaten his meals with apparent relish. Members of his family, believing that he was on the road to recovery were not at the bedside when he died. Only a nurse was present, it was said. Mr. Zickefoose entered law enforcement work at Wichita August 21, 1917, when he was appointed as chief of police by Louis R. Ash, Wichita's first city manager. One of his first official acts was to order a general clean-up of gambling and tenderloin districts. His law enforcement measures made him many warm friends as well as bitter enemies. After considerable turmoil in po¬lice circles Chief Zickefoose was removed about May 1, 1821. His successor remained but two months. Then another was named. Soon after his removal the office of detective chief was created and Mr. Zickefoose was named to the place, which he had held since. Mr. Zickefoose was chief of detectives in Kansas City from 1911 to 1913, in the administration of Governor Hadley. He entered the police department there as a probationary patrolman June 17, 1909, following a long career in the Santa Fe service. September 1 of the same year he was made a detective. His work of breaking up a gang of box car thieves and arresting them attracted the attention of the police commissioners. August 22, 1910, he was promoted to a sergeant of detectives and assigned to the command of detective headquarters at night. Funeral services will be held in the Rossville Presbyterian church next Saturday at 2 o’clock and the body interred in Rossville cemetery Beside his widow he is survived by a daughter and two sons. The delay in the funeral is to permit his son Ben time to arrive from Connecticut. Two brothers, Mr. W. H. Zickefoose. of this community, and Mr. O. A. Zickefoose of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and a sister, Mrs. Ed Gustin, of Manic Hill also survive. | |

He took his family and left his native homeland to avoid religious persecution as well as military conscription in the Austria-Hungarian armies, moving first to the Volhynia area under the control of the Russian Tsar and later to America in Nov. 1891. It was also thought that he had a brother, Jan who may have immigrated to the United States. His death left his widow who did not speak the language of the country in which she lived as well as seven minor children to survive him. |
