| 8512 |  | Obituary- Nadeau, Paul 2 “Chow” Nadeau Last week this community lost one of its citizens who will probably live in the minds of the community a long time. Paul Edward Nadeau or best known as “Chow” grew up in this community an ideal athlete. He can be remembered as being on the team as you like to see boys or men. He may or may not have been an outstanding player, but he was there, needed by his fellow men, and liked. He just did his job in a sportsman-like manner that led the team to the top. Chow didn’t grow out of sports as some do. He was in there pitching until his dying day. If he was’nt coaching the team, he was always on the sidelines boosting for his team to win. Chow’s latest efforts were toward the town’s baseball teams that he helped promote, coach, umpire or just serve anywhere he could. Probably to many citizens, Chow was a quiet mannered fellow. Many had never talked directly to him, but most everyone knew him. Few have heard him raise his voice in anger. Yes, the community will miss Chow but when the spring baseball season opens and the grandstand is filled, if they will look up over the dust of the diamond toward the sky, he’ll be there watching in his quiet manner and boosting the little fellows toward victory. | |

| 8522 |  | Obituary- Nason, Blanche Blanche Nason Word was received in Rossville this week of the death of Miss Blanche Nason, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Nason of Wichita. She passed away Thursday, November 12 at the Seward general hospital at Valdez, Alaska. Miss Nason was born on a farm northeast of Rossville forty-three years ago, and while a young girl moved with her parents to Topeka, where she grew to womanhood, completing her grade and high school education in the Topeka schools. Later she entered Kansas State College and completed her junior year and then finished her college work in the University of Washington. After twelve years of teaching in schools at Manhattan, Kansas, Colorado and Bellingham, Wash., she accepted a call to Sitka, Alaska, where she worked as supervisor in the Sheldon Jackson school for three years. She returned to Washington later and entered the Whitworth College at Spokane. Her church synod ordained her to the gospel ministry there and she returned to Alaska which she felt sure was God's appointed field of labor for her. Such scripture as Deut. 36:6; Isaiah 51:16 and Isaiah 55:11, were precious promises made vivid at that time. Aboard ship she was told of the town of Valdez, and the need there, and upon urgent request decided to stop awhile, not dreaming that it was to be her permanent location. Miss Nason was the founder of the Home for Homeless and Afflicted children at Valdez, Alaska, known as ElNathan Home. She had felt the call for children's home work since her conversion at the age of eleven years and her many years of teaching made a splendid background of experience for the work she engaged in. She made a complete consecration for full time service to God and took a year and a half in training for Christian Leadership in the Los Angeles Bible Institute. Miss Nason leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Nason, and a brother, Earl of Wichita; her aunt, Mrs. Joe Shenk of this city and an uncle, Lew Nason of Topeka, and many other relatives. No details have been received as to the cause of her death of funeral arrangements. [From 19 Nov 1936] | |

F.S. Allman, who took for his text Isaiah XXXIII:17: "Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is very far off." He spoke of Christ in his days of humiliation and of the Christian during his pilgrimage, pointing out the fact that the toilsome road, wearisome as it may be, is a Royal road, leading to the New Jerusalem, where the King will be seen in his beauty. He testified to the Christian character of the deceased, and of the pious resignation that possessed him as his feet touched Jordan's brink. He told of the fervent manner in which the dying man grasped his hand last Sunday and assured him that he had no regret and no despair, though certain that his departure was at hand. Mr. Nason was one of those men who do great good in the world. While frugal, industrious, and wise in the management of his temporal affairs, he kept before him, both in thought and action, the weighty things of eternity, thereby occupying the full sphere which God arranged for man. The funeral procession was a very large one. The pall bearers were: W.G. Gilbert, B. Swearingen, Daniel Wilt, T.J. Cox, Henry Miller, Geo. A. Weller.

| 8537 |  | Obituary- Navarre, John E. Gone Home. Little John Navarre has gone to sleep in Jesus February 6th 1912. There's a pair of little hands laid to rest forevermore; There's two dimpled cheeks whose rich blossoming is o'er; death has sealed two little eyes which will not more smile nor weep tiny windows of the soul, Little John has gone to sleep. There's another Bud removed ere it felt the blight of sin; Through the door the Angles [sic] move, darling John has passed in, He has reached the Golden Shore crossed the river cold and deep; Angles [sic] bore him safely o'er Little John has gone to sleep. He will wake in fairer lands where the Angel band doth sing, there the Flower it will expand, There will all perfection bring far beyond the azure skies; Where the tiny star eyes peep from all earths cares, doubts or fears, Little Johns gone to sleep. Angels bore him safely home, so for him we will not weep. Gently to the doorway come; Little John has gone to sleep. [From The Rossville Reporter, March 15, 1912] | |

| 8543 |  | Obituary- Navarre, Maggie Maggie Navarre, daughter of Mrs. Mary Navarre, was born in Rossville, Oct. 24, 1888, and departed this life, Thursday morning, June 11, 1908. She was a victim of the dread disease, dry tuberculosis. The funeral was held Friday af¬ternoon from the Catholic church, Rev. Fr. De Smedt officiating. The church was filled with sympa¬thizing friends of the family. The beautiful white casket was banked with flowers presented by her class mates and associates. The pall bearers were her girl friends, Mis¬ses Mabel Stewart, Ethel Binns, Anna Silvers, Edith Eddy, Nellie Binns and Bessie Navarre. The interment took place in the city cem¬etery. Maggie was one of the bright and promising young ladies of Rossville. She had attended Haskell Institute at Lawrence since seven years of age and would have graduated at this term had death not inter¬vened. She had many accomplish¬ments and winsome ways that made her a favorite with all with whom she came in contact. It is so strange and mysterious that one so young and about whose future are woven such glorified dreams and fond hopes should be called upon to yield it all to death. The sorrow is more keen and unconsolable when we consign to the tomb the life just blossoming into the fullness of its beauty and per-fection. “But the fiat of nature is inexorable. There is no appeal of relief from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flowers that bloom and wither in a day have not a frailer hold upon life than the mightiest mon¬arch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps.” But all is well with Maggie. Her short life was good and devoted to the attainment of all that would fit her to enjoy the nobler things of this existence. These traits and ideals have not perished, for the grave is but the door opening into the glories and perfection of the immortal life beyond. While we shudder at the cold thought of the tomb, yet after all, death gives all there is of worth to life. | |
| 8544 |  | Obituary- Navarre, Mary 1 MARY GENELLA NAVARRE Mary Navarre, mother of the Reporter editor and Joe Navarre, Rossville's route carrier, passed away shortly before 6 o’clock Monday morning. She had lived in this community and Shawnee county many more years, than any other citizen of Ross¬ville. Born at Westport, Mo., now Kan¬sas City, February 14, 1854, the daughter of James and Martha Baldan, she inherited the rugged consti¬tution of her sturdy Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry, and while a petite woman through choice, up to less than a year ago lived in her little home alone. Her mother died when she was little over three years old, and until her father married Mary Ann Rice, she was taken care of by an old French woman named Chumois, and reared in the old Clinton hotel, at Indianola, which ante-dated and rivaled the present city of Topeka as a townsite. At that time Silver Lake, Rossville and all the territory southwest nearly to Paxico was in the Pottawatomie reservation. Her stepmother, being of Indian ancestry, owned an allotment just west of Rossville, now known as the Clarence Emert farm. There mother was reared. A few oldtimers still remember the old double log house that was her home. What schooling she got was from the Mission school at St. Marys conducted by the Madames of the Sacred Heart who later turned their property to the Jesuits for the present St. Mary’s college. Mother was never concerned over the fact she was living in an age that saw this section developed from a wilderness to its present state of de¬velopment. She married Gregory Navarre in 1871 and eleven children were born to them. Providence decreed that none of her daughters was to live to comfort her in her last years. Just two sons, your editor, her seventh, and Joe, her elev¬enth, remain. In 1888 or 89 her father and family moved to Oklahoma. After her husband’s death in 1902, she devoted her life to rearing her remaining children, who one by one passed on. We could fill another column of episodes of her girlhood days when the fawn west of town was the stop¬ping place for people from the East, pushing westward: some of them even to die there and be buried in the private cemetery just southwest of the old house; the arrival of the first train here; the stirring early history of Rossville community; the arrival of the Navarre family from South Bend, Indiana, in 1866, one of the sons a few years later to be¬come her husband. Her first son was named Henry Clay Navarre, and her second was Jerome, (Polly)) to you, who died 12 years ago. It is told her father stood off the Kansas Pacific surveyors with a shotgun when they sought to establish their 400-foot right-of-way given in a federal land grant, through his farm. As a matter of fact he made good and when a few years ago they did establish their claim to that right-of-way it was found they had had to purchase the 100 feet they now use. Mother and Dad moved into Ross¬ville before the town was established as a city of the third class, which was in 1881, and except for a brief residence in Topeka, this has been Mother’s home since. | |

| 8548 |  | Obituary- Navarre, Pierre Famous Men in South Bend History Pierre Navarre The first white settler to settle in present-day St. Joseph County was Pierre Navarre. Mr. Navarre was of French descent, well educated, and moved to St. Joseph Country from Monroe, Michigan in 1820. At the time of this move, Mr. Navarre was an agent for the American Fur Company.[3] Prior to Mr. Navarre settling in St. Joseph County, he had trapped and traded furs among the Native Americans that lived in the area. But, in 1820 he decided to permanently reside in South Bend and open a standing trading post. Pierre married a Potawatomi woman named Angelique and had six children, three sons and three daughters. Pierre and his new family built a log home, the first home to be erected in the county, on the east side of the St. Joseph River, now in South Bend.[4] Mr. Navarre located his home on a trail in which Native Americans traveled and traded every spring and fall to reach the other posts along the river, down to Lake Michigan. This brought Pierre huge amounts of furs, maple sugar, baskets, and other articles. He was very loyal to the Potawatomi tribe and when they were forcibly removed from the Michiana area, he traveled west with the tribe, but afterwards returned home. Pierre Navarre died in the home of his daughter on December 27, 1864. His body was buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery on the property of the University of Notre Dame. Navarre's cabin is still standing and has been moved to Leeper Park East in downtown South Bend, Indiana. | |
