    Mrs. Nelle Dannefer
    Mrs. Nelle Dannefer, 56 passed away April 28th, at her home north of Rossville. She was born near Cuba, Kan., June 14, 1891. She had lived in Rossville since 1915. She taught school at Mission Center from 1911 to 1915. She was a member of the Rossville Presbyterian church. She is survived by her husband, Frank R.

Dannefer, Topeka; two brothers, Ray Shideler and Jay Shideler, both of Topeka; one sister, Mrs. Ray White, Topeka; and two grandchildren.
    She was a devoted mother and wife and a patient sufferer, always thinking of her family, rather than her own illness, and up to the last was planning for their future. She was always thoughtful of other sick friends and was ready to write cheery letters to those ill and shut in. To spread sunshine was her hearts desire. A beautiful tribute to her was given by the Ren. Schwartz.
    Everything that medical science could do was given to restore health and her devoted family was at her bedside continually all during her illness.
    Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Rossville Presbyterian church, with the Ren. Schwartz, pastor of the Westminister Presbyterian church of Topeka, officiating.
    Music was furnished by Mrs. Lorene Harth and Mrs. O. S. Boyd accompanied by Edith Higginbotham.
