Shirley and Bill managed Limestone Springs Ranch south of Soldier until 1984. They later divorced. During this time, Shirley was active in East Grant Unit and Pleasant Valley Rustlers 4-H club. She helped many Jackson County kids with sewing, quilting, baking and craft projects. Gardening, reading, sewing, baking and visiting were her favorite pastimes along with raising her two daughters. On Jan. 11, 1987, Shirley married Jim Mitchell, owner of Mitchell Custom Harvesting, of Soldier.

| 8302 |  | Obituary- Mitchell, Shirley J. 2 She cooked, did laundry, went for parts and groceries and cooked some more. She was always trying out a new recipe and most were well-received by the hired hands. During this time, she also continued raising her daughters. Her first grandchild, Keenan James Mitchell, was born in 1991. Being Grandma was the highlight of her every day. With the pending arrival of her second grandchild, Kylie Jean Mitchell, she did not like the long distance. She moved from Holton to Ulysses in 2000. She attended every school activity, ballgame and church event she could and was Keenan and Kylie’s biggest cheerleader. Grandson Camden Noah Ripperger was born in 2004. Granddaughter Gracen Noel Ripperger arrived in 2006. They lived in Broken Arrow, Okla., and this distance was too far for Grandma. She was planning another move to be near Tara and family when in November 2012, she suffered a stroke. Many hours, days and weeks of rehabilitation, with much help from Keenan, lead to her being able to live on her own. She moved to Coweta, Okla., in 2013, residing at Carriage Crossing senior apartments. During the past eight years, she has attended every school activity, ballgame and church event she could and was Camden and Gracen’s biggest cheerleader.

He was born near Marathon, Clermont county, Ohio, July 6, 1843, where he spent his youth and early manhood and where he enlisted as a soldier with Captain Cochran in Co. D, 83rd Ohio Infantry. There he proved himself a true man and loyal soldier.

He was taken prisoner April 8, 1864, at Sabine Cross Roads, Louisiana, and was exchanged October 23, 1864. Thru his conduct he won himself the esteem of his company and the officers of his command. March 22, 1865, he was united in marriage to Eliza Scott. Seven children—four sons and three daughters were born to this union. All of these survive except one son, Thomas who passed to his reward February 14, 1913. Mr. Mitchell was a true, good, kind husband and father, who gave himself in every way in ministries of love and helpfulness for their welfare and happiness and all of which they in turn reciprocated throughout life through kindly deeds and devoted care in his closing days. Nothing they could do was left undone to make him comfortable, for which he gave to them his heartiest thanks. Mr. Mitchell united with the Presbyterian church in Rossville in 1913, and was a faithful member to the last. He arose on the morning of his 61st wedding anniversary well and happy and in a short time was stricken with a light stroke of paralysis. After six weeks of illness he passed to his eternal rest on May 2, 1926. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church Tuesday, May 4 conducted by Rev. Berg. Interment was in Rossville cemetery. They tell of courage never quenched of duties nobly done; Of that dark lonely death, Of everlasting glory won. And dearer still a nation’s love. Servant of God, well done, Thy glorious warfare’s past; The battle’s fought, the race is won. | |

| 8330 |  | Obituary- Monhollon, Parker 2 Parker LeAnn Monhollon, 9, of Silver Lake, passed away on July 10, 2017 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, following an 18 month battle with DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma), a form of brain cancer. Parker LeAnn Monhollon was born on July 26, 2007 to Amanda and Danny Monhollon. She was born with multiple heart defects and her parents were told that she would need major heart surgery before the age of 6 months. Parker went weekly, and then monthly for echo cardiograms and each time we heard the good news that her heart was doing its job, so no surgery was required. Parker was a vibrant, sassy, smart, and beautiful girl who loved to dance, make Youtube videos, and play with her 8 year old brother, Dominic, and her 15 year old sister, Rivers. About a week before Christmas, Amanda noticed that Parker had developed a very noticeable lazy eye. The school nurse had even contacted her regarding double vision and headaches. After getting some opinions from family members, she decided to schedule an eye exam. The optometrist suspected that the problem wasn't her eye, but something else. He ordered an MRI just in case and then hoped to start vision therapy and possibly an eye surgery, if needed. The MRI was finally done on Friday, January 15, 2016. The Pediatric Oncologist and Pediatric Intensive Care physicians came to Amanda and said they needed to speak with her in private. They had found a brain tumor near her brain stem. A phone call to dad was made, and once he arrived, he was also given the news. Though we knew for sure it was a tumor, we still weren't sure which type. The next day, Saturday, January 16, 2016, we went out for breakfast to IHOP (Parker's favorite) where she ordered blueberry pancakes (also her favorite!) On the way home, we received a call from Parker's pediatric oncologist, who informed us of the type of brain tumor Parker had, a DIPG. The fight began in the United States, and continued to Europe, and back again to the United States. Her fight ended in Monterrey, Mexico. During her 18 month journey she received multiple treatments and surgeries. She stayed positive and always forward-thinking until her body had nothing left to give. It is up to those of us who knew her, and followed her, to continue her legacy. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 22, 2017 in the Sunflower Ballroom at The Maner Conference Center, 1717 SW Topeka Blvd. Guests should utilize the parking area at 17th & Western.

| 8332 |  | Obituary- Monroe, Arthur A memorial service for Arthur Sam Monroe, the Willard colored boy who died in France, will be held next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in the West Union church, south of Willard. Rev. Shaffer will give the address. Sam was well known this side the river and was highly respected by his acquaintances. He was a member of the 5th Provisional Co., 805th Inf. He died shortly after landing in France, of pneumonia. Returned soldiers are especially invited to the service. The Leavenworth Times gives the following account of the return of the remains of Sam Monroe, a colored boy well known here and especially around Willard where he was raised. Mr. and Mrs. Walier Jones went to Leavenworth Wednesday of last week to attend the funeral. Yesterday marked the first arrival in Leavenworth of a soldier’s body from the graveyards of France. The body is that of Arthur Samuel Monroe, colored, who died September 15, 1918, at Brest, France. The body accompanied by a soldier from the Fort Jay, New York, command, arrived yesterday morning and was received by the Carter Undertaking Company. A military burial will be held this afternoon at the family lot in Mount Munice cemetery, the Rev. Mr. Curtis, pastor of the Second Baptist church officiating. Arthur Samuel Monroe was born twenty-seven years ago this month in Topeka. He was reared on a farm in Wabaunsee county, this state. He was drafted into the military service and after a short period of training at Camp Funston was sent overseas as a member of the Fifth Provisional Company of the Eight-Hundred and Fifth Pioneer Infantry. On board the transport, Monroe contracted pneumonia and upon debarkation he was taken immediately to the base hospital at Brest, France, where he died within a short time after his arrival. His sister, Mrs. William Simpson, who is the only living relative, lives at 407 Pennsylvania avenue, this city. The body of Monroe is the first to be received in Leavenworth county from the government cemeteries in France. Several more may be expected soon from their resting places, where “popies grow” Leavenworth city and county relatives of the men who made the supreme sacrifice during the war have been notified that the bodies would be returned if the request was made. The casket containing Monroe’s body is under government seal and cannot be opened except in violation of government and state laws, regulating the matter of disinterred bodies. | |

| 8334 |  | Obituary- Montgomery, Angeline 2 Died MONTGOMERY – At her home in Rossville, Kan., Feb. 28, 1887, after a long and lingering illness, Angeline Montgomery, wife of Ashe Montgomery, in the 61st year of her age. Mrs. Montgomery was born near Athens, Ohio, January 12, 1826. Her early life was spent in that vicinity and in her 21st year she entered upon her Christian life, being immersed by Elder A. Gaston. In 1857 she was married, and since that time has been a faithful and loving wife. We have known few women who were her equal in untiring activity. She could not be content without some object always before her to excite her thought and enlist her energies. This energy was not confined to the world, but in the church and mission she was the fame untiring worker. Uniting a large hearted generosity with her activity she was ever ready at the call of the church. Firm in the faith, warm and adhesive in her affection, quick in her sympathies and generous in all her impulses, she was a fountain of cheerfulness and joy among her friends and family. She was the strength and cheer and joy of life in the home circle and how much her loss is felt in the family none can know. During her protracted illness which has lasted ever since she came to Rossville she has maintained a cheerful hope and trust. Rev. Howell preached her funeral to a large and attentive audience, after which she was laid away in the Rossville cemetery to await the resurrection morn.

| 8335 |  | Obituary- Montgomery, Asbe Obituary Gone before us, O, our father, to the spirit land vainly look we for another in thy place to stand. Asbe Montgomery was born January 3rd, 1820, in Tyler county, W. Va. He united with the church when but 18 years of age. Much of the early part of his life was spent in the western part of West Virginia and in Ohio. March 21sst, 1907, at the age of 87 years, 2 months and 21 days, he passed his devoted Christian life over into the keeping of his heavenly Father. Sixty years of his life had been devoted to working in the Lord's vineyard preaching the lovely truths of the gospel, leading men and women to Christ. We rejoice to know this noble old soldier of the cross has fought the good fight, has kept the faith and hence forth there is laid up for him a crown of everlasting happiness eternally in the heavens. Father came to Kansas 22 years ago locating first at Manhattan, Riley county. After a term of years he removed his family to Rossville where the last days of his life were spent. Father leaves children and grandchildren behind who deeply mourn their earth loss but they rejoice to know father died in the triumphs of a living faith. Blessed hope; sweet consolation that enables one when starting down the slippery banks of the Jordan of death, when the dashing waves of that remorseless river are already throwing the icy spray of its water around the soul, to look beyond the dark stream to the bright field, to the pearly gates, to the golden paved streets, and finally up to the throne of the eternal King, to lean calmly and trustingly upon that are that never wearies and place implicit confidence in Him who has said I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. Take courage dear children and hope to the end for the night will soon pass and then day will soon dawn. Then death will sadden no hearts and dim no eyes for the Lord will wipe away all tears. | |

| 8337 |  | Obituary- Montgomery, George C. G. C. MONTGOMERY MURDERED George C. Montgomery, a former resident of this city, was murdered at his home in Winfield, Kas., last Saturday night. Mr. Montgomery was a detective in the employ of the A. T. & S. F. Co., and it was while seated at the table in the sitting room of his home making out a report of his week’s work to his chief, when he was fired upon through the window and instantly killed. There is no clue to the murderer, but cowboys from an Oklahoma ranch are suspected. Montgomery had incurred the ill-will of the cowmen in his official capacity. They then threatened his life. George Montgomery was for many years a resident of this city. His father, Mr. A. Montgomery has resided in this city for the past eighteen years. George was a deputy sheriff in Topeka ten years ago and went to the Santa Fe railway as a detective about 1803. He was an active man and soon came to hold a responsible position in the company’s secret service. He was a member of the First Christian Church of Winfield, and leaves a wife and two sons. About 1000 people attended the funeral at Winfield last Monday. The services were held in a large tent that had been used for holding revival services, because the crowd was larger than the Christian Church would seat. His step-brother, Scott Easdale, of this city attended the funeral but his father said he would rather remember his boy as he saw him last than to see his face torn and lacerated with the buckshot. The State has posted a reward of $250 and the Santa Fe company $1000 for the murderer’s capture. [Source: Shawnee County News, Friday, October 1, 1901] | |

She was immersed and joined the Church of Christ at Rossville about 16 years ago. Her former husband, Mr. Wallace, was a Presbyterian minister. Mrs. Montgomery’s later years have been especially devoted to the work of her master and the numerous evidences of her faithfulness and devotion to His cause prove her a success in not only doing good to others but in building up and chastening a soul which it is no extravagance to believe will become a bright jewel in the Lord’s diadem. May the glory of her life and death, and the sturdy Christian manliness of her husband stimulate us all to the doing of better deeds and the hoping of a better life. – Braman, Okla. Star.
