  Obituary- Zickefoose, Peter The Passing Of An Old Resident Peter Zickefoose died last Friday at 5:30 p.m. at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ed Gustin, after being sick over a week. Death was caused by uremic poisoning. Mr. Zickefoose was one of the oldest settlers of this township. He had passed his 86th birthday Feb. 25, this year. With the exception of a few years spent in Osage county, Kansas, Mr. Zickefoose had lived here continuously since coming to Kansas in 1869. The funeral was held Sunday at the Gustin home conducted by Rev. Manion of Olive Branch Church, and interment made in the Rossville cemetery. Peter Zickefoose came to Kansas in Dec., 1869, from West Virginia, first locating one mile east of Topeka, a short time and moved seven miles west, remained one year and moved one mile west of Silver Lake, remaining five years; then moved two miles north of Rossville, remained four years and moved to another farm in August, 1880. Was born in Pendleton county, Va., Feb. 26, 1831. Remained in native county until the spring of 1847, following farming with his father, then moved to Richey county and remained until coming to Kansas. Was a member of the state Militia and had some trouble with the Confederates during the war on account of his loyal sentiments. Was Deputy Sheriff of Richey county during the war, and as the sheriff would not ride in the south part of the county, he performed that perilous duty and had frequent encounters with the Rebs; owned a very fleet mare and being acquainted with every foot of the ground and the mountain path, always managed to elude his pursuers. When Hammond and Jones' Confederate Command made their raids in the spring of 1863, Mr. Zickefoose saved two of his father's horses by putting them in a smokehouse. He was married in September, 1855, in Green county, Pa. to Miss Mary Hammer, a native of E. Va. The surviving members of his family are: W.H. Zickefoose, O.A. Zickefoose, and Mrs. Ed Gastin, all of Rossville; S.W. Zickefoose, Kansas City, Mo.
