    Grandma Beals Dead
    Mrs. Elizabeth Beals aged 77 years, and one among the earliest settlers of Rossville, died at the family home in the west past of town last Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock after a week’s illness.
    The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon in the Christian Church. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Hawkins of Topeka, a large concourse of neighbors and friends being present. The interment took place in the city cemetery.
    Elizabeth Hannah Swearingen was born in Virginia Aug. 8th, 1831 and later moved with her parents to Illinois where in 1855 she was united in marriage to Mr. Beals. To this union 7 children were born 5 of whom are living—Frank, George, John, Mrs. Jennie Zickefoose all of this place, and Mrs. Anna Cox of Reding, Kans. She was the sister of Mrs. Wm. Rankin, Geo. Swearingen of Killduff, Iowa, who is here on a visit, and Bennett Swearingen of Cook Florida.
    Mrs. Beals came to Rossville with her husband in the year 1867 and has been a resident of the town ever since. The husband died 1887.
    For the past five years she had been an invalid from the effects of a paraletic stroke. Her last illness was due to heart trouble and the infirmities of old age. She was a member of the Christian Church, lived a devout Christian life and has entered into the blessings and joy that await the kind, faithful, loving old mothers.
