| 7488 |  | Obituary- Luedtke, Mark 1 Mark Luedke Passes Away (Revised) APRIL 10, 1952 - MAY 18, 2025 Mark Chase Luedtke, known affectionately by all as Coach, embodied the spirit of leadership, unwavering dedication, and an infectious sense of humor. Born on April 10, 1952, in Emporia, KS, he set forth on a journey that would inspire countless lives until his peaceful passing on May 18, 2025, at his home in Rossville, KS. Coach Luedtke's legacy is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. Coach's early years in Emporia laid the foundation for his exemplary path. A proud alumnus of Emporia State University,where he played cornerback for the ESU Hornets, and pursued secondary education with a vigor that would become his trademark. His commitment to learning and growth was not just a personal mission but a gift he imparted to every individual he encountered. Mark's coaching career was nothing short of remarkable. Beginning in Rossville, from 1992 to 1995, he led his football teams to an astounding 29-4 record, capturing two league championships and propelling Rossville to their first state appearance with a runner-up finish. His talent for coaching was undeniable, and his impact on the field was only matched by the influence he had on his players off the field. In 1996, Coach took his talents to Emporia, where he continued to break records and build champions. The pinnacle came in 1997 with a Centennial League Championship, a victory that echoed Coach's unwavering belief in the potential of his teams. His stint in Wathena was equally transformative, leading them to their first playoff appearance in 15 years and securing a DVL league championship in 2007. Coach concluded hisillustrious high school coaching career at Wellsville (2008-2012),where he maintained an impressive 33-20 record. His guidance brought home two league championships and three district championships, further cementing his status as a coaching legend. Even after an accomplished career in high school football, Coach's passion for the game and youth development led him back to Rossville to coach the Junior Dawgs from 2017 to 2019. There, his expertise and enthusiasm helped the Dawgs secure two league championships. His influence extended far beyond the scoreboard,shaping the character and lives of young athletes. Away from thewhistle and playbook, Coach was an avid outdoorsman. The vast expanses of Western Kansas were his sanctuary,where he found joy in hunting quail, turkey, pheasant, and deer. His adventurous spirit was contagious, and his stories of the hunt were as captivating as his game-day speeches. Spirited, friendly, and adventurous – these words encompass the essence of Coach. He approached every challenge with a smile, every set back with a lesson, and every victory with humility. His spirit was a beacon that lit the path for all who had the privilege to know him. Preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kathleen Ann Luedtke, his father, Walter Emil Luedtke, and his mother, Tate LaRhea Luedtke. Coach leaves behind a family that extends far beyond blood relations. His players, colleagues, and studentsform an enduring testament to the difference one passionate individual can make in the lives of many. He was a man who walked the talk, who lived life with gusto, and who left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew him. As we celebrate the life of Mark Chase Luedtke, let us carry forward the torch of his legacy. Let his story remind us to tackle each day with determination, to face challenges with a smile, and to always be a team player. In his memory, let us live life with the same passion he had for the game, for his players, and for the community he cherished. Rest in peace, Coach. Your final whistle has blown, but the echoes of your influence will resound through time. Thank you for teaching us that the true measure of success is not in trophies or titles, but in the lives we inspire and the love we share. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held July 12, 2025 @ 6:30pm at the Rossville American Legion | |

| 7498 |  | Obituary- Lumpkins, John G. John Lumpkins Dead The sad news of the sudden death of Mr. John Lumpkins of Topeka which reached Rossville last Friday morning was a shock to everyone. He was well known here, having been a citizen of Rossville most of his life and for many years conducted a barber shop at this place. His death was a shock because no one had any reason to expect such news. Mr. Lumpkins was yet a young man and known to be of rugged health. The end was undoubtedly unexpected on his part, for it was all so sudden--taken slightly ill in the evening--the next day he died. A stroke of apoplexy was the cause of his death. Mr. Lumpkins moved to Topeka a little more than a year ago, and it was in Topeka that he died. Last Friday the body was brought to Rossville on the morning train. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Rev. John H. Lamb officiating. The church was crowded with his old friends who had come to pay their last respect to the departed. His body was interred in the Rossville cemetery. The obituary follows. John Lumpkins was born near Tecumseh, Shawnee County, Kansas, February 24, 1872. He came to Rossville with his parents when he was yet a child. Here he lived the remainder of his life, except the past year. The past year he lived in Topeka, where he died on February 24, 1910, at 9 o'clock. It is interesting to note that Mr. Lumpkins died on his birthday--being therefore just thirty-eight years old. On January 6, 1897, Mr. Lumpkins was married to Miss Minnie Hawks. His wife and three children are left to mourn the loss of a good husband and father. Five sisters and two brothers survive him. Having been a citizen of Rossville so many years he enjoyed a wide circle of friends, who sorrow with the grief stricken ones and extend their heartfelt sympathy.
