| 1914 |  | Birthday- O'Neil, William 1 Rossville's oldest resident lives alone On October 13, William "Billy" O'Neil will celebrate his 96th birthday. He was born in Illinois but says his "daddy couldn't find a place to suit him" so the family was on the move most of the time. They spent several years in different parts of Illinois and Nebraska and when they traveled into Kansas, they settled around the St. George - Wamego territory. Mr. O'Neil has lived in Rossville since 1943. Mr. O'Neil was one of 12 children. He says there were six boys and six girls, or as he describes them, "six read heads and six colored." Thinking back over his ancestors, Mr. O'Neil remembers that an uncle lived to the ripe old age of 99. He says he farmed until he was "pretty near 80." He lost his wife at a young age and they had only one daughter. The daughter is now gone but he has six living grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. He smiles happily as he tells of one granddaughter who has two sets of twins. The first set were boys and 16 months later, twin girls. Now the days are passed quietly and slowly for Mr. O'Neil who lives alone in his own home. He says he has a circle of good neighbors who bring him samples of good cooking now and then. Some of his friends at the St. Marys College come down at intervals to mow his lawn and clean up his house. His home is immaculately clean. But then, he says, "There's no reason for me to get it dirty. The only thing that gets it dirty is my pipe ashes spilling on the floor." Mr. O'Neil is proud of the mustache he has had for 72 years. His white hair is combed neatly with a center part. He enjoys a pipe which he started smoking after he was past 50 and rocks contentedly in the porch swing of his home as he watches the children pass to and from the grade school. [From The Rossville Reporter, Thursday, October 6, 1960] | |
| 1915 |  | Birthday- O'Neil, William 2 Rossville’s oldest citizen celebrates 94th birthday Mr. William Elzie O’Neil, who is probably Rossville’s oldest resident, celebrated his 94th birthday on October 13. He had lunch at the Carl Rupin home and then enjoyed the afternoon in a car ride seeing the sights and changes made in town. He enjoys fairly good health. Mr. O’Neil was born at Keithburg, Ill., in 1864 one of a family of twelve children. He moved with his parents to Muskatee, Iowa, at the age of three, crossing the Mississippi River by boat and traveling on by covered wagon. Later he moved to Beatrice, Nebraska, and finally settled near Wamego and St. George where he made his home for 45 years. He was a farmer and carpenter by trade. He met his bride, the former Sophia Keller, while she was visiting in Wamego. They were married in 1889. She died in June of 1945. They had one daughter who had six children. Their daughter died at an early age and Mr. O’Neil and his wife helped to raise the grandchildren. They also helped to raise several other orphaned children. Mr. O’Neil has lived in Rossville for a number of years and his closest relative is a grandson, Father McNelly of St. Marys College, St. Marys, Kansas. | |

| 1926 |  | Birthday- Parr, Blanche 2 by Dorothy N. Hoobler On Thursday, July 18, Miss Blanche Parr, a resident of Rossville Valley Manor, will be 101 years of age. "But I'm not going to celebrate," she said [ ]. "I celebrated too much last year, with three cakes and three parties. Then I got sick, and I came here to live." In her room hangs a memento of the occasion, a 100th birthday "best wishes" plaque from the Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging. Blanche is an amazingly alert, [ ] independent person. Only [ ] snow white hair betrays her [age]. Her eyes are bright, and [ ] snap on occasion. They also sparkle when she laughs, and that's much more frequently. She really misses being in her home at 442 Orange Street, where she was born and lived for her first 100 years. Her grandfather, John Wesley Parr, came from Indiana. His sons, Jim and [ ], settled on the rich farmland [ ] of the new and thriving little town on Cross Creek. Son, Andrew Jackson Parr, however, Blanche's father, preferred being a carpenter. He built the stately, [ ]-story farm house where he was born. With the big bay windows, and its two columned porches, it must have been quite a showplace. There were lots of fruit trees, [ ], peaches, apples, and cherries, and a grove of walnut trees. Like most people, the Parrs had a big garden. The children grew up doing their share of the chores in the house and garden. "We were always [ ] to work. We were expected to help, and we did," she [ ] matter-of-factly. Blanche remembers the town yard, the brick yard, the hotel, and the Opera House. Their home was just one-half block from the new school, a fine two-story, four-room red brick building. Blanche's mother, Cyrene Matilda, a former Lawrence school teacher, gave them their first lessons at home - no kindergarten a century ago. She insisted that all homework had to be done the first thing after supper. "Then we played," Blanche remembered. There were card games like "Authors, checkers, marbles, and spin tops," the old-timer tops that you'd wind up and throw," she explained. "And I had a top, too, just like my brother's," she smiled. Miss Parr spoke with such loving admiration of her parents. "We really had good parents," she emphasized. "We never came home, but that our parents were there. They were always home at nights, too. Dad read to us, while Mother mostly mended and knitted socks for Dad. And we had apples and walnuts to eat." And here, her eyes snapped as she observed, "Parents shouldn't neglect their children the way some people do now. That's why kids go wrong." Blanche reminisced about church activities, too. "Grandpa Parr was a good old Methodist. My Dad used to tell how he and Grandma (Catherine) hitched the team to the lumber wagon, filled it with straw, loaded up the kid, and came to town for church. The boys would be so hungry before they got home at 2 in the afternoon." She remembered the church programs, too. "There were a bunch of little Parrs running [not sure if some is missing here or not]. Brothers Jim, Joe, and A.J. had a combined total of 20. "And there were a lot of Resers, too," she added. She had vivid memories of the 1903 flood which devastated so much of the town as well as the farm land to the south, when the bank-full Cross Creek waters couldn't empty into the over-flowing Kaw. Uncles Jim and Joe were marooned, along with many of their neighbors, as the muddy waters rapidly inched higher. A Rossville newspaperman, U.G. Stewart, described in vivid detail how several local carpenters, including A.J. Parr, built a crude boat, the "Sally Ann," and sailed through raging current to rescue the stranded families. "Uncle Jim's stayed with us until they could get back home," she recalled. The flood waters covered only one corner of A.J.'s yard. Did she remember anything special about childhood birthdays? "I had friend chicken and peach pie!" she laughed, and this time, her eyes really sparkled. "Mother made lots of pies, Dad like pies, and mother liked to bake, and she used whatever fruit was ready. "I was the only one with a birthday in the summer. It was so hot, and I was the middle child. I always figured I got a little cheated!" she exclaimed with a laugh. Then she quickly added, "But I didn't! Mother and Dad didn't have a favorite child. And we weren't allowed to fight, either. We could defend ourselves, but we couldn't pick on each other. And even after we grew up, we still helped each other." | |
| 1927 |  | Birthday- Parr, Blanche 3 difficult." Before, I always did exactly what I wanted to do. Now I have to follow orders. And it ain't easy!" she admits frankly. "Now all I can do is sit and read." She enjoys reading, every thing from mystery stories to travelogues. "That gives you a different view of countries and how other people live," observed this remarkable lady. She finds the large print books and magazines a great help. Blanche shared wisdom gained throughout her 101 years. "If you're not busy, you don't feel good. A person needs to be working and learning something new. Try a new recipe, make a new dress, or work in the garden. Just get out of a rut," she advises. We'd spent an interesting afternoon, and I came away with a great respect for the lady who spoke so lovingly of parents who'd been gone so many years and of their family life. The children all had nicknames, a practice which annoyed her mother, since Cyrene Matilda Parr had taken great care in selecting names for her children. (Blanche was named for a favorite teacher friend.) "Dad called me "Pet," and I must have been ten years old before anyone at school knew my name was Blanche," she laughed. Then thoughtfully she mused, "Looking back, I wonder. Why did Dad call me 'Pet'?" Well, Pet, I think I can answer that question. What better name could your loving, caring father choose for his smiling, bright-eyed little girl? Perhaps you won't celebrate with 101 candles on a cake this year, Miss Blanche, but here are 101 wishes for a very happy birthday. Thanks for letting all of us share in your warm memories, too. [Caption for photo of house] The grandeur of this old house is evident even after more than a century. Blanche Parr still has many vivid memories of life within this home she has known since childhood. Photo Belinda Driscoll | |
