| 7766 |  | Obituary- Mason, Maynard 2 Maynard Mason This community bows in memory of Maynard Mason. Yes, to the memory along. Before the holidays he busied himself, in his thoughtful ambitious way getting presents for friends near and dear to him -- and they were many. But he didn't get to enjoy Christmas day nor the gifts he received. He was too ill. The photograph , a beautiful likeness he gave me, is a keepsake that I can look at only through mist-covered eyes. His obituary is now pasted on the cover opposite the pleasant face that is gone forever. Stricken at nine, Maynard fought cheerfully and hopefully against diabetes, an affliction that medical science has sought vainly to conquer. But that wasn't enough. Flue, pneumonia, heart trouble and complications cruelly allied themselves with diabetes to take one of the most likeable boys this community ever knew. And till just a few days before the end it seemed like his fighting heart would best them all. But it wasn't to be. God commanded from the pages of the Good Book, "Suffer little children and Come unto me." From that scriptural quotation his weary, heart-broken friends who loved him can find their only consolation: God has beckoned him to that infinite somewhere, where there is no more suffering, no more sickness, no dieting, and no more insulin. Goodbye, Maynard. God bless you. --A Friend 9 March 1944; Miss Josephine Barney, Dale Barney, Jack Humphrey and his mother Mrs. J. Humphrey, of Topeka, were in Rossville Wednesday to attend the funeral service of Maynard Mason. 9 March 1944; Miss Maxine Stovall of Topeka was in Rossville, Wednesday to attend the funeral service of Maynard Mason. 9 March 1944; Mrs. Jessie Enos of Kansas City and son Allen Enos of Perry were called to Rossville Wednesday by the death and funeral service of their relative, Maynard Mason. 9 March 1944 --RHS-- IN MEMORIAM We, the teachers and students of RHS are deeply grieved over the loss of our pupil and fellow classmate, Maynard Mason. Maynard's (King's) laughter and companionship will be sadly missed by all because he had that quality, rarely found in one of his age, to make friends with both young and old. In spite of his ill health he possessed many qualities which made him a good all-around American youth. Although Maynard is gone, his memory will long linger in the minds and hearts of all who knew him. --BP | |

| 7780 |  | Obituary- Matthews, William DIES IN AUTO-TRAIN CRASH William Paul Mathews, 23, of 412 Kansas avenue, Topeka, is dead and John Kelly, of 317 Klein street, is in serious condition in St. Francis hospital as the result of an accident Tuesday night at the Union Pacific crossing at Kiro. Both men were relief workers. The two men were riding in a model T Ford sedan, which struck a freight train at the crossing, demolishing the car, about 9:30 Tuesday night. Both were taken to the hospital. Matthews suffered a head injury and died at 1:50 o’clock Wednesday. Kelly has deep lacerations and a concussion, cuts and bruises on his body. N. E. Mains, of Topeka, was sitting at the depot at Kiro when the crash occurred. The westbound train had just passed., he said, and looking up the track he remarked to Ed Reynolds, signal maintainer, that the engine apparently had started a small roadway fire. They soon saw that it was an auto burning, and rushing up the right-of-way, found the demolished car. They extinguished the fire, and gave aid to the two passengers, who were lying on the ground, until an ambulance arrived. Kelly apparently was driving, and asked Mains what had happened. Mains told him. Fishing poles and tackle indicated the men were returning from a fishing trip. Matthews was born in Topeka January 24. 1914, and had lived there all his life. He attended Parkdale and Blacksmith schools and was a graduate of Washburn rural high school. Funeral services for Matthews were held today at 10:30 o’clock from Penwell’s chapel, burial in Memorial Park cemetery. Surviving him are his widow, Mrs. Rosa Matthews, of the home address; his mother and stepfather. Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Johnson, and a brother, Gail Matthews, route 1, Topeka; his father, F. L. Matthews, Thayer, Kans., one sister, Mrs. R. J. Hall, Topeka; and his grandparents, Mrs. L. A. Elliott of Thayer, and W.D. Dalton, of Topeka.
