| 7881 |  | Obituary- McConnell, John R. 1 John McConnell Victim In Another Tragic Death John McConnell, aged 42 years, died at 5 o'clock Tuesday evening in a Topeka hospital, from injuries received at 10:30 Monday evening at the Rossville cattle yards. The accident occurred while McConnell was assisting F.P. McCollough, manager of the Mulvane ranch, and [ ] Olson, a fellow employee, in loading hogs and cattle for shipment to Kansas City. Others present were Floyd Cless, Leon James, "Bill" James and C.M McPherson. After filling a car the gate at the bottom of the loading chute was closed. An unruly steer ran back into the chute and McConnell climbed in to drive it back to the car. When more cattle entered the chute McConnell sough safety by climbing on the chute gate and was nearly at the top when a steer attempting to jump the gate struck him knocking him into the chute. It is not known whether his fatal injuries were received from this steer or after he fell into the chute. Mr. McCollough, at great risk to himself drove the cattle back to the car. McConnell received internal injuries and his spine was injured so severely his sense of feeling was paralyzed, although he was able to talk after being removed from the chute. Dr. Miller was summoned at once and the injured man was taken to a Topeka hospital where he was operated on Tuesday in an attempt to save his life. There was slight chance, and he passed away Tuesday evening. Mr. McConnell had been an employee on the Mulvane ranch, off and on, for the past twenty years. He has been the victim of numerous accidents during his stay, the most severe being one about two years ago when he cut his hand while sawing wood with a power saw which resulted in the loss of a thumb after months disability when blood poisoning set in. One the evening of his death while driving the cattle in from the ranch, the cattle became unruly and while off his horse helping straighten them out, fellow workers report McConnell made the remark jokingly the cattle would yet be the cause of his death. The remark was made after he was compelled to mount his horse to prevent being rushed. He was a member in good standing in the Woodman and Security Benefit lodges. Mr. McConnell is survived by his wife and three young children, three brothers, James, of St. Mary, Robert, who lives in Arizona, and George, of Rossville. The latter is the father of the child burned to death here three weeks ago; one sister, Mrs. Jane Swartz of Harrisburg, Pa.

| 7886 |  | Obituary- McConnell, Rosa Oil Can Explodes; Child Burned to Death Rosa Lema McConnell, the thirteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George McConnell, died at 9 o’clock' Monday evening, the victim of the saddest and most tragic accident that has occurred here in years. The explosion of an oil can, held by the child, covered her with a blazing mass of oil and be¬fore her burning clothing could be torn from her body she was burned so terribly death came mercifully about three hours later. The accident occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Trahoon in the Southwest part of town, at 5:80 Monday. Little Rosa, who is a sister of Mrs. Trahoon, returned from town about four o’clock with a gallon of oil in a five gallon can. Mrs. Trahoon started a fire in the cook dove at 5 o’clock and busied herself with preparations for supper. While Mrs. Trahoon was peeling potatoes, Rosa looked in the stove and thought the fire was out. She lifted the can over the uncovered hole and poured in a quantity of oil and a terrific explosion shook the houses in the neighborhood. The child was a mass of flames in an instant and she ran scream¬ing from the house out into the street. John Quirk, a neighbor, dashed out of his home and caught the little girl and rolled her on the ground trying to tear the burning clothing from her body. Neighbors brought quilts and she was taken to the home of John Lillard where Dr. Miller gave emergency treatment and she was later brought to the parents home on Navarre street. The house was not greatly damaged, although the fire department responded to the alarm. Mrs. Trahoon suffered only a few minor burns on her hands and arms. The child is one of nine child¬ren of Mr. and Mrs. George McConnell, and the first death in the family. She was born at St. Marys, January 25, 1909. Mr. McConnell is a hard-working laborer and hardput to provide for his large family. The sympathy of the community was deeply touched by the sad event and a subscription paper was passed about town to raise funds for the family’s aid. Harvey Divine raised $135.25 and other gifts direct to the family of $12.50 brought to total to $147.75. A lot in the cemetery was pur¬chased and the funeral expenses paid and the balance left was turned over to the family. Funeral services were held yesterday morning at 10:00 at the Catholic church conducted by Father McNeive. Four girls— Maggie McGrew, Irene Murray, Dorothy DeGraff and Verna Burns were the pallbearers. The body was laid to rest in Ross¬ville cemetery.
