| 7801 |  | Obituary- Matyak, Paul F. 1 PAUL F. MATYAK Paul Frank Matyak, 93, formerly of Delia, passed away Thursday, March 14, 2013, at Clare Bridge in Topeka. He was born March 18, 1919, on the family farm near Carter, S.D., the son of Paul and Marie Lucy Dolezilek Matyak. He graduated from Curlew School in South Dakota. After school he worked on the family farm until 1937 when he moved to Delia. When he arrived in Delia at the age of 18, he started work as the manager of the Farmers Elevator, which was owned by his uncle, Frank Matyak. In 1939, after moving the rest of the family from South Dakota, Paul’s dad purchased the Delia Lumber Co., next to the elevator. Paul became the manager of the lumber yard, working in both of these positions until he was drafted into the U.S. Army on April 20, 1942. His military career took him from Fort Leavenworth to Camp Hood, Texas, to Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., before he was shipped overseas. His unit embarked to England on Sept. 13, 1944, having served in the European Theater, which took him to Holland and then on to Germany. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge towards the end of the war in 1945. He journeyed back across the ocean on the Queen Mary and arrived in New York City on July 2, 1945, returning to Delia on July 11, 1945, which was just two weeks before his wedding. Paul was honorably discharged from the Army at San Luis Obispo, Calif., on Oct. 21, 1945. His military awards included the American Service Medal, World War Il Victory Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and the Purple Heart. Paul married Genevieve C. Grace on July 26, 1945 in Delia. In that same year, Paul and Genevieve bought their first home and a building on Main Street in Delia, where he started his business, Matyak’s Garage. Paul and Genevieve were married 51 years and raised six children: Paul J., Edward, Dorothy, Roxann, Richard, and Monica. He retired from Matyak’s Garage in 1990 after 45 years in the business. Paul was a man of the upmost integrity and stuck to his moral grounds no matter the subject. He was not afraid to voice his opinion. Many friends and customers will remember stopping by Matyak’s Garage and discussing the news topics of the day. There are many memories of Paul helping neighbors or friends in need, anytime day or night. Paul and Genevieve shared many wonderful memories with friends including dances at the Bohemian Hall, where often their dancing would make others stop and stand back to watch. Paul and Genevieve appreciated their many great memories with their friends of so many years. Paul was preceded in death by his wife, Genevieve and son, Paul J. in August 1996, his parents, two brothers: Frank and Joe Matyak. He is survived by five children, Ed (Kathy) Matyak, and Dorothy (Eldon) Fastrup of Topeka, Roxie (David) Fath of Tecumseh, Rick (Melody) Matyak of Delia, Monica (Jay) Steiner of Olathe; 11 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren; a sister, Lydia Anderson of Topeka; and many nieces and nephews.

| 7836 |  | Obituary- McAdams, Margaret 1 Obituary. Margaret McAdams was born at Rossville November 16th, 1872. She passed on to her reward there at the home of her parents, November 29th, and was laid to rest in the Rossville cemetery, December 1st, 1905. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church, the Rev. C.A. Finch of the First Christian Church of Topeka officiating. He was assisted by Rev. H.L. Nelson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and also by his quartet choir from Topeka. Sometime before, Margaret had selected the songs, "Home of the Soul" and "Nearer my God to Thee," requesting the choir to sing them feeling that she was singing with them, as she had done many times in the past year in their church in Topeka. The minister chose his text from the 20th chapter of Numbers, and first verse: "And Miriam died there, and was buried there." He spoke of the similarity of Margaret's life to that of Miriam, in that she began to serve the Lord in youth and continued in his service all her life. He also likened her leadership gift of song to Miriam when she took her "Timbre! and led the Israelites in their song of victory." Margaret had been in close fellowship with his Church work for the last year and his personal acquaintance enabled him to speak words of comfort to her family and friends concerning her life and character. The Rev. H.L. Nelson spoke of his acquaintance with her, and the uplift which her association inspired. He told of his talk with her when she arranged for her funeral. At that time she said was ready to go, but dreaded passing through the dark valley. "You will not be alone, Jesus will be your light," he said to her. "Oh yes," she said, her countenance lighting up at the thought. Many loving tributes of flowers from friends far and near were banked about the casket. Robed in pure white she lay "Asleep in Jesus," with one hand holding a cluster of flowers. The spacious Church was filled with friends who knew and loved her.

She lived a consistent Christian and had grown to a consecrated womanhood in the community. She was of a genial sunny disposition making and holding many friends wherever she went. She was an earnest worker in the church in all its departments, capable and willing to do whatever the call, serving at different times in all the offices of the C.E. Society.

Margaret had been failing in health for about eighteen months and for the last five months had been confined to her bed from cancerous growth and paralysis on the lower limbs. | |
| 7838 |  | Obituary- McAdams, Margaret 3 She was patient in her suffering endeavoring to cheer her family and her friends by her hopefulness of getting wed. She knew her case was very certain and expected a willing submission to the Lord, and yet she had an intense desire to live that she might do more and better work for Jesus. The young people of Rossville were the burden of her thoughts; she longed that they might all be saved. She often said "Mama, why is it that I have to lie here and suffer when I would so love to be at work for my Master, and see so many thoughtless girls walking the streets for pastime, when there is so much to do?" A few days before her death she began to fail and on Tuesday grew rapidly worse and said, "Mamma I will have to give up, I cannot live." The family physician was called but could give no relief and shortly after twelve o'clock on the morning of November 29th, her spirit went home to be forever with the Lord. Margaret has gone to Jesus her light. Her spirit has taken its flight But her pleading voice is calling still Come, come! Whosoever will, whosoever will! | |
