He spoke many words of comfort to the bereaved family. She was laid to rest in the Rossville cemetery. Jane Eliza Coleman was born at Albion, Ill., May 22, 1839.

Steward McAdams died Oct. 10, 1871 and was buried in the Rossville cemetery. Mrs. McAdams and Walter G. Gilbert were married Sept. 16, 1875 and continued to reside in the McAdams home until about two years ago when they moved to Saragosa, Reeves County, Texas, as a temporary residence, renting the home in Rossville, expecting to return if not satisfied. They found kind and generous neighbors in the new home and enjoyed living there. A few weeks ago she fell ill and her sons hastened to her bedsides. She rallied and they had hopes of her recovery. One son remained to assist the husband in nursing her back to health. She suddenly grew worse and passed away on Oct. 29, 1914, and by her request was brought back to the old home and her body placed in the same room and place once occupied by Margaret, the daughter who passed on several years ago and for whom she never ceased to mourn. There were five McAdams children, two sons and three daughters. One daughter, Lucinda, passed away in childhood. The other, Margaret, died in young womanhood. The surviving daughter, Mrs. E.G. Jamieson of Moline, Ill., and the two sons, E.M. McAdams, of Joplin, Mo., S.C. McAdams, of Walter, Okla., were present at the funeral. Mrs. Gilbert was the daughter of Thomas J. Coleman and sister of the late Andy Coleman of near Menoken. Two sisters survive her, Mrs. Emma Ellis of Topeka and Mrs. M.A. Killian of San Diego, Ca. and two brothers, Dumas V. Coleman, of San Diego, Ca. and S.T. Coleman of Washington, Ind. "Dear is the spot where Christians Sleep, And sweet the strains that angels Pour, O, why should we in anguish Weep?

| 5773 |  | Obituary- Giles, Eugene Will to Work Kills Those who read the recent story of the death of 16-year-old Jerry Giles at Rossville must have paused to ponder his fate. Jerry collapsed in a field, the victim, apparently, of a heart attack. For the two weeks prior to his death, Jerry had worked like a beaver. He had labored at odd jobs in the mornings, farm work in the afternoons and at a service station at night. The boy's mother is a widow. A physician attending the boy after his collapse said he believed overwork caused the heart attack. The drive which kept young Jerry Giles busy at a series of jobs proved too much for his 16-year-old body. Yet the enterprise of a youth who wanted work, found it, and gave it everything he had, must be admired. It also makes one wonder about the idle 16-year-olds standing on the corner combing their ducktailed hair, doesn't it? | |

Polly Gittings exemplified the car¬dinal virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity in every thought and action of her well-spent life. Her’s was a life of service—to God and to her fellow human beings. She accepted trials and tribulations in the spirit of God’s holy will and none ever heard her complain against the part she had to bear. Her example and influence will pattern the efforts of all who came in contact with her, so that they, too, may attain the end for which they have been created.

A short funeral service was held at the home of her daughter, Myrtle Johnson, Seneca, Kans., on Friday, April 12, conducted by Rev. L. B. Pruitt, and the remains were then brought to the home of Mr. James Banks in Wamego. The final services were held in the Wamego Methodist church conducted by the pastor, Rev.
