| 8851 |  | Obituary- Patton, Charles W. OBITUARY. We are sorry to have to record the decease of one of our very worthy citizens, Charles Patten [sic Patton], who died last Friday morning, aged 46. Mr. Patten has been in poor health for several years, suffering from a complication of diseases, ending with dropsy. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his departure. Funeral services were held at the M.E. church Saturday afternoon, at which time the Rev. F.S. Allman officiated, basing his remarks upon a clause of the 12th verse of the 27th chapter of Isaiah: "And ye shall be gathered one by one." The reverend gentleman said people sometimes wondered that families were called upon to pass into the eternal world one by one, as individuals - not in family groups. After showing that from the cradle to the grave God persistently deals with us as individuals, it being part of His settled plan, he commended trust and confidence in One "who is too wise to err and too good to be unkind," and enjoined belief in the Master, who declared that What we know not now we shall know hereafter. During the service the choir sang several hymns that they had selected for the occasion. The remains were deposited in the Rossville cemetery, Undertaker Somers being in charge.

James Patton, of Rossville, Kan., was struck by No. 1 Union Pacific train and instantly killed early Sunday morning. Patton was asleep on the railroad track west of the depot at Rossville.

The train was stopped and trainmen picked up the dead man and took him to his home. Patton was a single man. Dr. J.M.

| 8874 |  | Obituary- Paulsen, Michael Michael "Mike/Moose" Paulsen Michael, "Mike/Moose" Paulsen, 52, of Rossville, passed away Wednesday, November 3, 2021, at his rural Rossville home, surrounded by his family. He was born January 28, 1969, in Manhattan KS, and grew up in the Saint Marys community. He was a graduate of Saint Marys High School in 1987. He attended Junior College at Butler Community College in Eldorado KS, meeting several individuals who would become life-long friends, and he subsequently graduated from Kansas State University with a bachelor's degree in Physical Science. Mike worked in and around the Topeka and St Marys communities for most of his life. Payless Cashaways, Hydro-Flex Corp., and Custom Woods Products. He began his career with Westar at the Jeffery Energy Center, which later merged to become Every, Inc. Mike's declining health ultimately forced him to stop working. Mike often said that the best thing in his life was getting married to his wife, Marian (Zeller) Paulsen on Oct 8, 2005. She survives of the home with their two children, Michaela Raye (Wade) Paulsen and Bradley Michael Paulsen. He is also survived by his mother, Carolyn Paulsen (Rossville), his sister, Kim York, Rossville, his brother, Claude "Rusty" (Patty) Paulsen, Silver Lake, and multiple nieces and nephews. Although diagnosed in 2016 with colon cancer, God blessed Mike with an additional five years to enjoy the hobbies he loved and to cherish the remaining moments with family and friends. Mike said he figured the battle with cancer ended in a draw; that cancer didn't win. Rather, his passing stopped it in its tracks, preventing further growth. Mike enjoyed pretty much everything automotive related, to include exploring junkyards looking at old cars (some of which made the trip home to the chagrin of his wife). As much as she put on that these old "projects" bothered her, she was his biggest supporter and assistant financier, overseeing the project costs and occasional overruns. He also enjoyed camping and fishing with friends whenever he could. Mike did not know a stranger and would do anything for anyone. Mass of Christian Burial was Tuesday, November 9, 2021, at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Rossville, KS. Interment followed at West Lawn Memorial Gardens in Topeka. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the wonderful care and support given by the team of staff at the Cotton O'Neil Oncology and Palliative Care clinics, as well as Midland Hospice.
