| 9477 |  | Obituary- Sanders, Samuel Obituary Samuel F. Sanders, was born, November 29th, 1860 Modom, Indiana, died December 1, 1920, aged 60 years and 1 day. Samuel Francis Sanders, son of Frank L. Sanders, came to Kansas with his father when a mere lad locating at Topeka in the fall of 1869. The following spring the father located on the homestead which was the continuous home of Samuel until his death. Samuel endured the hardships and privations of pioneer life with the other members of the family, with great fortitude, having unwavering faith and full confidence in the ultimate results of his adopted country. The early demise of the father, threw much of the care and responsibility of rearing and caring for the members of the family upon Samuel, he being an older member. This care and responsibility he assumed with noble purpose and an ever willing heart being a strong arm in time of need to a devoted mother in rearing her family. This fatherly care and devotion to duty endeared him to the younger members of the family far beyond that of a brother merely, he was their refuge in time of trouble, he was their protector in time of need, his help was their assurance his council their guide in deed. This early training of devotion to duty was splendidly exemplified in Samuel's willingness to assist his neighbors. No one needed a helping hand but his was willingly and freely granted. This free, nonchalant spirit in rendering assistance was but one of his splendid virtues and neighbors and friends as well as his relatives will join in worthy tribute to his memory. Funeral services were held at the home, Friday, Dec. 3, conducted by the Rev. R.S. McCullouch, of the Rossville Methodist church and interment made in Rossville cemetery. The surviving relatives are his widow; one sister, Mrs. Martin E. Myers, two brothers, William and Charles Sanders, all of the home community.

| 9495 |  | Obituary- Schlup, Walter 2 A Friend Rossville lost a friend this week. Walt Schlup was put to rest Tues¬day with military honors. Walt was the man behind the pump. He served as public water and sewer maintenance man. Every month Walt would make the trips to every home in the community to read the water meters. The year around he maintained the pumps at the city water works and' some¬times in the summer dry periods he would be on duty 16 to 20 hours a day to assure a full supply of water for the citizens of the town. In case of a city fire, Walt would be at his station at the water works to keep the tower at top level. Among other duties he performed was the maintenance and operation of the sewer disposal plant south of Rossville. Yes, Walt performed these important duties for Rossville for a number of years. If a person went out on the street and asked people if they knew Walt Schlup they would probably all say: “Yes, I know Wait, but I don't know anything about him.” Walt was a friend of everyone but we wonder just how many really knew him for the many important services he rendered the entire community seven days a week, the year around. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Any person having bills or business concerning Walter R. Schlup, deceased, is asked to contact Mrs. Dale Ruff. Rossville, Kansas before March 15, 1959. NOTICE—Anyone having tools or belongings of the late Walter Schlup is asked to please leave them with Dale Ruff, Rossville. Walter Schlup who is confined to Winter Veterans Hospital in Topeka is reported to be very ill. He served as Rossville’s Water Commissioner before his illness in November. Last reports were that he is in a coma and kept in oxygen. | |
