MARIE JEAN HARDEN
Marie Jean Harden died Monday, Aug. 14, 2006 at a family home following a stroke.

She most recently resided on the island of Kauai, but lifetime adventures also found her in Albuquerque, NM, and for a time on the island of Bali.

She was born May 6, 1932 to Rudolph and Wilma Krasny who lived on a rural Delia farm. She graduated from Rossville High School in 1950 and worked in Topeka for Bell Telephone before marrying Bob Harden on May 17, 1953. Three children, Michelle, Doug and Darrel were born to them while they resided in Topeka on West 10th St.

In 1959, they moved to a farm west of Rossville. A second daughter, Joyce was born there. In May 1960 a tornado destroyed their home. Marie was able to get three children to the cellar and then went back up for the baby who was secured in a highchair with a dishtowel. All survived without injury. A new home was built on that site. Another daughter, Andrea, was born to the family.

Marie had many artistic gifts. She was a seamstress, making imaginative costumes for her children, uniforms for Rossville and St. Mary’s cheerleaders and draperies for Karlan’s Furniture. She shared wonderful paintings with family and friends.

For many years she kept scorebooks for her children’s baseball and softball teams. Under her direc¬tion the family raised and sold the best extra-sweet corn for many years.

She was a great cook and encouraged her family to lead healthy lifestyles.

She was a valued employee in the optometry offices of Dr. Clifford Goodman and Drs. William and Diana Carriger. Later she attended many bourses in the area of massage therapy and shared her interest in the healing arts with a wide variety of clientele.

BOB HARDEN
Bob was born in Meriden, to Orval and Goldie Lister Harden, the fifth of eight children.

The family moved several times during the Depression years, living near Dover, St. Marys and Rossville. He started school early and was for his entire life a proponent of education.

He also started his working life early, beginning with a paper route in Rossville. Frequently, he worked for local farmers and on one occasion nearly lost his arm in a corn picker accident. In later years, on his own farm, he often could be found hoeing weeds in the soybeans or sweet corn patch.

For 42 years he was devoted to working for Hallmark Cards at both the Topeka and Lawrence plants. He started in cutting and gradually worked into the area of management. After retirement, he assisted with Hallmark’s traveling Kaleidoscope exhibit.

He was innovative no matter the challenge. Tornados have struck the home place west of Rossville twice. In May of 1960, on his way home from work, Bob was only a mile from home as he watched a twister destroy the farm. He arrived home just as his family was being helped from the cellar. A new home soon stood on that much altered farm site.

Every addition, remodeling project or repair on any of the families’ homes has signs of his work. His example has been passed on in a can- do attitude in his children and grandchildren.

His family, wife, Marie and five children, Michelle (Crisler), Doug, Darrel, Joyce, (Abernathy) and Andrea (Terry) were always at the top of his priorities and the reason he worked so hard. Family life also included time for play: camping and water skiing, fishing at the pond, coaching both softball and baseball teams.

For his own personal health, he became a runner during middle age beginning by running in place in the kitchen, then laps in the basement and finally taking to the gravel roads bordering the farm. He participated in the Topeka Tin Man competitions and completed several half marathons.

In retirement, he and Marie traveled frequently and spent many winter months at South Padre Island, often including children and grandchildren.

He will be missed by family and friends, but happily, lives on in our memories.

Roy Harding Dies

Word was received here Monday evening by Mrs. W.H. Courtney of the death of her son-in-law, Roy Harding, at the family home near Pauline, just south of Topeka.

Mr. Harding had been in poor health several years, but for the past several months had been seriously ill, and his death had been expected momentarily for several weeks. Death was due to cancer or tuberculosis of the bladder.

Mr. Harding lived in the Delphos community a number of years, and was a Past-Master of the Delphos Masonic lodge. He was almost 43 years of age, and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lottie Courtney Harding, and two sons, Roy Jr., and Darrell Dean. He is also survived by two sisters.

Funeral services will be held this Thursday morning from the Delphos Methodist Church, with Rev. L.R. Fish in charge. The masons will have charge of the grave service.

ROY C. HARDING
Roy Clifford Harding was born in Rossville, Kansas on the 27th day of November, 1891, and departed this life for the better world, from his home on Route No. 1, one-half mile north of Pauline, Kansas, Monday afternoon, April 23, at the age of 42 years, 4 months and 27 days.

Roy was a great lover of nature – the flowers of the field and the birds of the air had a message for him, and in his last hours he gained much comfort from these emblems of God's great love for His children.

He was much in love with his work in the Church, and was never happier than when working with his boys in the Sunday School, who returned his love, and will miss him so much.

He was a member of the Delphos Methodist Episcopal Church and was also a member and past master of Masonic Lodge No. 202 of Delphos, and while unable to attend the services of the lodge in the past 2 or 3 years, he gained much comfort in talking of the lessons received in the work of the lodge.

He was also at one time a member of the Kansas National Guard.

He was united in marriage on the 22nd day of September, 1915 to Miss Charlotte Courtney of Delphos, Kansas, and to this union two sons were born. He was a devoted husband, and a kind and loving father. He was so appreciative of all that was done for him, and all thru his suffering was so patient.

He leaves to mourn his going but not as those who have no hope, his wife, two sons, Roy Jr. and Darrel Dean, of the home address; two sisters, Mrs. Hazel Ruddy of Davenport, Ia., and Mrs. Flora Peterson of Milwaukee, Wis., and a host of other friends and neighbors whose lives have been enriched by his coming and going.

Funeral services were held at the Delphos Methodist Church, Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in charge of Rev. L.R. Fish. The body was taken to the Delphos Cemetery for interment with the Masonic Lodge conducting the graveside service.

Joyce Marie Harper
Chapel Hill, NC- Mrs. Joyce Marie Harper, 73, died Tuesday December 5, 2017 at the SECU Jim & Betsey Bryan Hospice Home in Pittsboro, NC. Joyce was born to the late Walden Howard Swenson and Pauline Fenton Swenson on July 16, 1944 in Concordia Kansas. She was raised in rural Kansas where the heartland values of honor, honesty, and integrity were deeply ingrained. Joyce attended Kansas State University and Northern Illinois University, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Therapy. She later earned her Master’s Degree in Deaf Education from the University of North Florida.
Joyce was a passionate educator; her unique teaching style, patience, and persistence could bring out the absolute best in children with severe challenges and send them on the path to success. She truly left no student out or behind, and became the teacher other teachers sought out when they had exhausted their ability to help a child in their classroom. She was known as a fierce advocate for the preschool children with special needs who otherwise had no voice; she believed that every child deserved the opportunity to start kindergarten in their neighborhood school, and fought tirelessly to teach her students the skills to get there. In our family she was most loved for ‘Grandmommy School’, where she cherished the chance to teach her grandsons, Benjamin and William, how to read, do math, and follow directions. Joyce ended her working career as a financial officer in the family business.
Joyce was a fantastic cook, and enjoyed entertaining friends and family. She hosted company Christmas parties complete with her famous beef tenderloin and chicken pasta salad, neighborhood dinner parties, and endless family get-togethers. Joyce was an extremely proud PEO Sister who fully embraced the organization’s efforts and served as president for several years.
Joyce loved to travel, and over the last fifteen years of her life saw the world. She enjoyed over 20 ocean and river cruises, trips to Europe, Russia, Africa, India, China, Vietnam, New Zealand, and Australia. She was the travel planner for the family; her extraordinary organizational skills ensured that she and her family got the most out of their trips.
Above everything else, Joyce was deeply devoted to and loved her family. After meeting her husband Steve at Northern Illinois University, they married in 1970 after 6 years of dating. Together they shared an adventurous life filled with raising two daughters, 10 moves during their marriage, and countless trips where they were able to visit most parts of the world. Joyce loved spending time with her two sisters and her parents, week long summer beach trips with her extended family, hosting family holiday and birthday parties, and taking her 90-something year old mother on Caribbean cruises during the winter. Her dedication to and love for her daughters and grandchildren was remarkable, and her legacy will live on through them.
Joyce is survived by her husband Stephen Kent Harper; daughters, Jill Harper Barham and Stephanie Harper Carmody; sons-in-law, Brandon Barham and Dennis Carmody; grandsons, Benjamin Michael Barham and William Stephen Barham; granddaughter to be Anna Stephanie Barham; sister Diane Vaught; brothers-in-law, Dennis Harper and Galen Kersten; sisters-in-law, Sue Kersten and Susie Harper; nephews, Creighton Vaught, Dean Harper, Scott Kersten, Jeff Kersten and families; and nieces, Sherri Gibson, Lori Duncan, Brenda Jacobs, Michelle Rockwood, Lana States and families.
A Memorial Service will be held at University United Methodist Church on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, NC on Saturday December 16, 2017 at 3pm with a reception immediately after the service. Interment will be in Arlington National Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development http://autismcenter.duke.edu/content/make-donation-today or the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation’s CMT2C Research Fund https://www.hnf-cure.org/cmt-2c/ .

Obituary- Harris, William
Rossville---William "Bill" Leon Harris, 82, passed away at his rural Rossville home on March 16, 2021.

Bill was born on February 2, 1939, in Girard, Kansas, to Bud Leon and Florence Ellen (Westhoff) Harris and lived most of his childhood in Hepler, Kansas, except for a few years when his family moved to Weiser, Idaho. He returned to Hepler from Weiser in 1951 to help his grandparents on the family farm. He graduated from Hepler High School and Pittsburg State University. Bill served in the US Army after graduating college in 1961.

On December 30, 1961, Bill married Patricia Ann Hazen in Walnut, Kansas. To this union the couple was blessed with five children.

During his lifetime, Bill was a valued employee for several companies, including Phillips Petroleum, Kansas City, MO; McNally Manufacturing, Pittsburg, KS; Sinclair Oil Co., Independence, KS; The Capper Foundation, Topeka; owner of Mercury Messengers, Topeka, and for over 60 years was the owner of Harris Accounting & Tax Service, previously in Carbondale, KS and most recently in Rossville, KS.
