| 6077 |  | Obituary- Hartzell, Cora Death of Mrs. Cora Hartzell Seldom has our little town been shocked as it was at the sudden death of Mrs. Cora A. Hartzell, the young wife of Leroy P. Hartzell. She retired late Saturday night, apparently in perfect health, but when Leroy awoke at five o'clock on Sunday morning she was unconscious and died at half past ten that night. She was born near Rossville, Ks., November 17, 1879, and has always lived in this community. She was married March 18, 1903. Her married life, though so short, was one of supreme happiness, and afflicted husband, parents and brothers, have the deepest sympathies of the entire community. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The large audience assembled to pay their last respects, testified to the love and esteem which the community bore her. The services were conducted by the Rev. H.L. Nelson, Pastor of the Presbyterian church, of which she was an earnest and consistent member. The Pastor was assisted by the Rev. Mr. Otto, Pastor of the Methodist church As a text the minister used the appropriate word of the Psalmist, "Be still and know that I am God." The floral offerings were beautiful and elaborate. In addition to those made by the immediate relatives, there was one by the Sabbath School, placed upon the casket. On an easel at the side of the pulpit was a large C. E. The C mad of white and the E with the C made of red flowers. This was a tribute from the Christian Endeavor Society of which she was an active member. Her vacant seat in the choir was draped in mourning. We shall miss her. One teacher has gone to their reward; one voice of the choir has been silenced; one active Endeavourer has fulfilled her pledge; one sweet soul will move among us no more, for she is gone. The entire community moves beneath a pall. Her life was brief, and like the snow flake, she left her mark but not a stain. | |

| 6081 |  | Obituary- Hartzell, David 3 David Hartzell Last of Early Day Business Men Claimed By Death David Hartzell, aged 92 years, 4 months, and 1 day, passed away about 1:00 a.m. last Friday morning. Infirmities of old age had been gradually wearing down the rugged strength he had enjoyed throughout his long life. His passing saddened his friends and relatives who had seen him overcome previous periods of physical weakness to be able to up and around. Death came easily and peacefully as going to sleep. He was affectionately known as "Daddy" Hartzell to countless friends and acquaintances made during his fifty-five years service to the public as druggist in Rossville. He was 28 years old when he and M.F. Tatman opened a drug store here in 1872 under the firm name of Hartzell & Tatman. It was the gathering place for a congenial bunch of old cronies of the partners, for many years, and when it burned down about 17 years ago only those who have lost something near and dear, can realize what the loss of it meant to Mr. Hartzell. He later opened up again in strange quarters, the room now occupied by the post office and carried on until about 10 years ago when he retired. Since then he occupied himself about the old home but of late years seldom was seen "up town." Mr. Hartzell was a native of Ohio where he was born Sept. 28, 1844. He first came to Kansas in 1867, residing for a time at Ozawkie and other points, for five years before coming to Rossville. Three years after coming here on February 21, 1875 he was united in marriage to Matilda Boots. They would have passed their 62nd wedding anniversary the 21st of this month. Of the five children born to this union, all are living, to aid and comfort their mother, who, too is nearing the ninth decade of her life. They are Ernest D., Leroy P. of Rossville; Mrs. Edna Salley, Silver Lake, Frank D. of Chillicothe, Ill., and Melvin B. of Seattle, Wash. There are also 22 grand children and 8 great grandchildren. Early in life Mr. Hartzell was baptized in the German Reformed Church. Funeral services were held Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. H.E. Straw. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. Estel Bailey, Dr. and Mrs. John Shenk and Phillip Hartzell with Miss Ruth Salley as accompanist. Mr. Phil Hartzell a grandson sang a solo. As a tribute to the deceased all the pall bearers were grandsons, namely Orville, Ralph, Allyn, Clyde, Phillip and Richard Hartzell. Interment was in Rossville cemetery. The almost impassable conditions of the roads made it necessary for the procession to go east of town on Perry street, thence across a field to the cemetery. Card of Thanks - The family of the late David Hartzell wish to sincerely thank all friends for assistance and will hold in grateful memory all those offering sympathy and floral offerings in the time of their bereavement.

C.P. Broadfoot officiating. Soft strains of instrumental musk throughout the service were tenderly played by Mrs. Joe C. Campbell, pianist.
