| 6601 |  | Obituary- Jackson, Robert 1 d.1894 Robert Jackson, son of William and Margaret Jackson, of Coulter Mill farm, Lanarkshire, Scotland, was born August 25th, A.D. laid, and died at his home in Shawnee Co., Kas., January 24th, 1894, at 5 o’clock P.M., aged 80 years and 5 months. He was the third of a family of eleven. This family is noted for the longevity of the members, seven of whom have lived to reach the octogenarian mark. He married the eldest daughter of John Stewart. Their union was blessed as husband and wife by a family of eleven children, nine of whom survive their father. This aged couple celebrated the golden anniversary of their union on the 16th day of December, 1892, in which all the family were permitted to participate. They left their native land for American in 1851, and dwelt in Canada 20 years. They came to Kansas in 1871, where they have since resided. Mr. Jackson confessed his faith in Christ at the age of 18, uniting with the Presbyterian church, of which he remained a faithful member till the hour of departure for the silent land. He never entertained a doubt as to the saving grace of God. He was satisfied with the regenerating and purifying power of the blood of Jesus. God’s promises were sweet, consoling and precious to him in all the dark and trying hours of life. As the weight of years increased he realized more fully the vanity of the things of time and sense and the importance and satisfaction of a closer walk with God. With increasing infirmities, communion with Christ contained more of richness, while the magnificence of his Palace in that God-built City, became more realistic. The anticipated happiness of heavenly society gilded the overhanging clouds of death with brightness that chased away the sadness of the tearful goodbyes of earth’s loved ones. The melody of music floating earthward from the heavenly choir only increased his desire to join their number. Oh, the joy of faith becoming sight! Groping no more in blindness. All doubts removed. Added physical infirmities only increased his spiritual strength and firmness, and when the bold waters of death were splashing against the weather beaten bark he evinced a readiness to go. His trust was in the Savior, who said: “I am the resurrection and the life.” He was a kind and considerate father, a loving husband, and an obliging neighbor. His loss will be keenly felt. But our loss is his gain. He exchanged sorrows for joys, perplexing trials for heavenly rest and quiet, the society of love ones for the society of the angeled host, and the rough pathway of life for the [illegible] Elysium. He ceased to drink longer of the fountain of earthly joys, to take from the King’s hand the golden cup overflowing with eternal joys. His ripe, rich experience gained in life has been called to larger fields of usefulness. The funeral occurred from the home of deceased on Friday, Jan. 26th, at 1 o’clock p.m. The writer, who was called upon to officiate, spoke from the theme of the “Benefits of death to a Christian.” A large concourse of loving friends assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to their dear departed, and the family in their sorrow have their sympathy. We [recommend] them to the rich consolation which the word of God contains, and to His all sufficient grace in this their hour of deep bereavement. May we all be faithful to His son Jesus Christ.

| 6622 |  | Obituary- James, Asa 1 A Terrible Tragedy Peter Kovar Shoots Asa James Claims it was Accidental Rossville and vicinity was inexpressly [sic] shocked when the news was ‘phoned in Sunday evening from R.D. James’ farm that their nine year old son, Asa, had been shot and killed. The shooting took place about 6 o’clock, in the evening, shortly after the boy had left the house to pull alfalfa to feed the hogs. The report of the gun was heard by the family, followed by screams, and when the father reached the pasture he found the little fellow wrething [sic] in mortal agony. A physician was ‘phoned from Delia and the wounded boy carried to the house, where he died in a few minutes, without having made any statement as to who did the shooting. Coroner Keith and Sheriff Norton arrived in Rossville shortly after midnight on the west-bound flyer, and drove at once to the scene of the tragedy. Many wild rumors were circulated as to the manner of killing, but nothing definite was obtained until nearly noon Monday. Searching parties had been out all morning and tracks leading from the spot where the shooting took place were being followed. These were leading directly to John Kovar’s house, about a mile northeast of the James place. Mr. Kovar went to them and said they need look no further, as his boy, Peter, did the shooting. Peter Kovar is ten years old. According to his story, he and a neighbor boy, John Selik, fourteen years old, had gone to Will Kovar’s house, an uncle, who lives almost directly across the road from the James residence, to borrow a rifle to shoot crows with. The Selik boy carried a rifle. Peter said his uncle gave him the rifle loaded and cocked and told him to shoot crows. The two left the house and passed along the road north when they met young Asa James who was just over the fence pulling alfalfa. They stopped and asked what he was doing and a general boyish conversation took place, about the number of pigs each owned. When he lifted his rifle to go young Kovar says the trigger must have caught in his clothing for the gun when off and Asa fell to the ground. Then they both ran home. There are other versions of the affair to the effect that the Selik boy told Kovar to shoot James and that Kovar deliberately aimed the rifle and pulled the trigger. There are several who were in the vicinity of the killing who claim to have hear two shots fired close together. The bullet that killed the little boy entered the abdomen a little below the center. It severed the large artery, as well as many of the intestines, and lodged in the backbone. There was also a wound on the left hand consisting of a furrow across the fore finger and a bullet hole in the back of the thumb. The coroner’s inquest will be held this afternoon in the city building at Rossville, conducted by Coroner Keith and County Attorney Schenck. A thorough probing into the facts will be made and the blame placed where it belongs. | |
| 6623 |  | Obituary- James, Asa 2 The affair is one of the most distressing that ever happened in this vicinity.

The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the yard was well filled with sorrowing friends and neighbors. The interment took place in the U.B. cemetery. Sheriff Norton took the Kovar and Selik boys to Topeka Monday evening and they were arraigned in the Juvenile court the next morning. After hearing their testimony and that of the officials, they were admitted to bail in the sume of $500 each, which was furnished by the father of young Kovar, who had accompanied the young boys to Topeka. They came home Tuesday noon to await the inquest this (Friday) afternoon. | |
