| 8462 |  | Obituary- Moses, Guy 1 Boy Shoots Himself Brooding over a reprimand received at school as week caused Guy Moses, a 14-year-old boy, to commit suicide at his home near here. He was found dead in the kitchen of his parents' home Monday morning at ten o'clock. He had shot himself. In the room with the boy was found an unsigned noted which read: "Maybe I will do better in the next world." Moses' trouble at school was trivial but he was scolded. This occurred early last week. He left school and ran away. He was persuaded to return to his home but had not returned to school. His parents were trying to persuade him to return to school and settle his trouble with the teacher and had hoped he would return to school the next morning. He decided not to go to school Monday, however, and when his parents left the house remained inside. He was found dead upon their return. The father of the boy is employed at the H. Adams ranch as a laborer. - Topeka State Journal The young fellow is the son of Al Moses who was a residence [sic] of Sandy Hook four years ago and is well known by the people of this city and Sandy Hook. The remains were taken across the river in a row boat last Tuesday to be buried by the side of his mother in the Rossville cemetery. [From the St. Marys Star, Thursday, March 10, 1910] | |
| 8463 |  | Obituary- Moses, Guy 2 A Youthful Suicide Guy Moses, Aged 14, Takes His Life at Maple Hill. A telephone message from Maple Hill Monday morning to Coroner G.T. Johnson brought the news of the suicide of Guy Moses, a boy of fourteen years. Dr. Johnson went to Maple Hill that afternoon, and after an investigation decided that it was a plain case of suicide and an inquest was unnecessary. Albert [sic Amos Allen] Moses, the father of the boy, is a man of about forty-five years of age, and is employed on the Adams ranch. His wife died some ten years ago. He and his three sons, of whom Guy was the youngest, lived together in a cottage a short distance north of the Adams home ranch. The oldest son is also employed on the ranch, and the younger two have been attending school in Maple Hill and doing the work about the home. Wednesday noon of last week Guy left school and wandered away. Search was made for him that night and the next day. He returned home Thursday afternoon, but offered no explanation as to where he had been, merely saying he did not feel well. He did not return to school that week. Monday morning Mr. Moses and the oldest son went to work and the other boy went to school, leaving Guy at home alone. Neighbors saw him go to the mail box at nine o'clock. A little after ten the older boy returned home with a load of hay and entering the house found Guy in bed, dead with a shot in the breast. He had undressed, gone to bed and taken his life with a shot from a 22 calibre rifle. No note or communication of any kind could be found that would give any reason he may have had for committing suicide. His pockets were full of papers of his school work and the grades on them are excellent. The only cause that can be assigned for his act is that his mind was affected, and as reasonable a theory as any is that it may have been caused by overstudy. He had no trouble at school with the teachers or his school-mates. He was a quiet, reserved boy, and the grief stricken father says that whatever may have been on his mind, it was his nature to keep it to himself. That so young a boy should do such a thing makes the case doubly sad, and the father and brothers have the sympathy of the entire community. [From The Alma Signal, Friday, March 11, 1910] | |

| 8466 |  | Obituary- Moss, Frank FRANK MOSS IS KILLED Injuries sustained when his ear left highway 10 and plunged into a creek shortly Before 8 o’clock Tuesday night proved fatal am hour later to Frank A. Moss, widely-known St. Marys banker. The accident occurred. Shawnee county officials said today, just across the line in Jefferson county. Appearance of the road, near the scene of the crash indicated that a brake on Mr. Moss’ car locked, throwing him from the road and over the bank twenty feet into the creek. A farmer who; viewed the accident reached the car just as it was starting to burn. He extricated Mr. Moss from the wreckage, and he was hurried to Christ’s hospital in a Wall-Diffenderfer ambulance.

| 8467 |  | Obituary- Moss, John 1 Death came Tuesday morning, November 5th, to relieve the sufferings of John T. Moss, well known local resident and former assistant cashier of the First National bank. The end was a peaceful one and followed a gallant effort on the part of nationally known physicians to save Mr. Moss which was coupled vainly with the ministrations of scores of friends in this locality. The deceased passed away in the old family home at First and Bertrand. Among the prominent clergy who assisted at the Requiem Mass and services in the Immaculate Conception church this morning were the Rev. J. V. O’Connor, S. J., a classmate of Mr. Moss at St. Mary’s college in other days. Born in Rossville on October 24th, 1876, John was the only surviving son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Moss, deceased. A resident of this city for 44 years, he came here with his par-ents when a youngster and after receiving his education at St. Mary’s college, he entered the employ of the First National bank of which his father was president for so many years. In 1917 he resigned his position with the First National and since that time had established an insurance, loan and investment business in his own name that thrived as the years brought expansion. Mr. Moss, from his childhood days was an accomplished pianist and his hospitality, like that of his father’s was known through out this section of the state. Relatives here who survive Mr. Moss are his aunt, Miss Mollie Kessler, who has resided at his home for years; Mr. Frank Moss, a first cousin and Mrs. Blanche Allen, a third cousin. The burial will take place in the family lot in Rossville cemetery. The pallbearers, St. Mary’s alumni, are Messrs. W. F. Youngkamp, David Urbansky, A. DeDonder, J. J. McCaffrey, H. E. Ryan and F. A. Sipes —St. Marys Star | |
| 8468 |  | Obituary- Moss, John 2 JOHN MOSS ESTATE LEFT TO HIS AUNT, MOLLIE E. KESSLER From St. Marys Star. In the will of the late John T. Moss, drawn last May and probated here yesterday morning by, Judge W. C. Beall, a trust estate valued approximately at $150,000 was created in favor of the deceased’s aunt, Miss Mollie Kessler, and is to remain intact until her death. H. Pessemier was designated trustee of the estate and executor of the will. After Miss Kessler’s death, and dissolution of the trust, it is provided that $15,000 be given Mr. and Mrs. Michael J. Kessler of Rossville. That an obligation of Henry Hidecker of Holly, Colorado, for $2500, be conditionally discharged. That $5,000 be given Maurice Murphy, his lawyer for many years. That $1000 be given Miss Gertrude Schumaker of this city, secretary of Mr. Moss. That a solitaire diamond ring be given Maurice Urbansky of this city; and that a ladies’ diamond ring, set in platinum, be given Mrs. Michael J. Kessler of Rossville The will then reads: “I bequeath all of the rest and residue of my estate to St. Mary’s College. . . .for the purpose of creating an endowment for the education of boys from Pottawatomie county and Shawnee county, Kansas.” A codicil to the will, appended July 16, 1929, states however that the will and its provisions are mollified to this extent: that the Thomas J. Moss home and premises at First and Bertrand streets are bequeathed to the Immaculate Conception parish for use as the site and erection of a high school building for the benefit of pupils of the parish; and further, that if said high school building is not erected within five years from the date of the codicil, the bequest shall fail and the property revert to the original provisions of the will. In the event that such a high school building is erected, it shall be known as the Thomas J Moss Family Memorial. It is apparent from the context of the will that the paramount interest of Mr. Moss was the welfare of his ager aunt, Miss Kessler, or Aunt Mollie as she was intimately known by so many friends. Always having made her home with the Thomas J Moss family, from John’s infancy, she was his nurse, constant companion and verily like a mother. After the death of John’s mother, Aunt Mollie took charge of the household arid after the passing of Thomas J. Moss, she was John’s housekeeper and inseparable confidante. There is glowing tribute to his character in the manner in which John’s solicitude for her was expressed in his last testament. | |
| 8469 |  | Obituary- Moss, John 3 John T. Moss Estate Ready for Liquidation With the death last Monday (July 8) of Miss Mollie Kesler, the estate of John T. Moss is available for liquidation. When the erstwhile banker died in 1929, his paramount interest seemed to be the welfare of his aunt, Miss Kesler. Several friends and local institutions were remembered with legacies, but one provision stood out. The estate was to remain intact, with H. Pessemeir as trustee and executor, until after Miss Kesler's death. The will was probated November 13, 1929. It provided that, after dissolution of the trust, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Kesler were to receive $15,000. An obligation of Henry Hidecker of Holly, Colo., for $2500 was to be conditionally discharged. $5,000 was to be given Maurice Murphy. $1000 was to be given Gertrude Shumaker, and a solitaire diamond ring given Maurice Urbansky. The estate, it developed, was mainly a collection of second mortgages. Trustee Pessemier recalls that the gross appraisal in 1929 was figured at about $80,000. Against this value there were encumbrances amounting to $30,000. The net worth of the estate, in its brightest days was therefore estimated to be in the neighborhood of $50,000. Since 1929 a six-year depression has exacted its toll. As a consequence Mr. Pessemier does not feel that the value of the estate today will exceed $8,000. If this sum is the basis of calculation, the cash bequests have shrunk to 15% of the amounts stipulated in the 1929 will. After listing legacies already mentioned, the will reads: "I bequeath all the rest and residue of my estate to St. Mary's College." Then appears a codicil to the will which was appended July 16, 1929. This codicil states that the will and its provisions are modified to this extent: that the Thomas J. Moss home and premises at First and Bertrand avenue are bequeathed to the Immaculate Conception parish for use as the site and for the erection of a high school building; further, that if said building is not erected within five years from the date of Miss Kesler's death, the bequest shall fail and the property revert to the original provisions of the will. Just what the status of this bequest now is, Mr. Pessemier does not say. -St. Marys Star. [Thursday, 18 Jul 1935] | |
