• Documents		Obituary- Hook, William L. 1 William Lowell Hook Lowell Hook, 59, passed away suddenly last Friday morning from a heart attack, in the office of the White Star Machine & Supply Co. at Wichita. His death occurred about 45 minutes after he left home for his work. Office workers said he jollied with them as usual, and fell dead without a struggle. He was his usual self his wife stated, and after helping wash the breakfast dishes, bade her goodbye in apparently good health. News of his passing was a shock to Rossville friends and relatives. “Lote” as we all knew him, was a native of this community, the younger son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Hook. He was born January 8, 1894 north of Rossville. He got his schooling here and married the former Gladys Jamieson, Dec. 31, 1917. They were in the restaurant business here with her brother, Lance Jamieson from 1919 for seven years until 1926 when they sold out and moved to Topeka. He found employment with the Kraft Cheese Co. and for 14 years remained with them until he took a position with the White Star Machine & Supply Co., and moved to Wichita five years ago. From his boyhood days Lote was identified with Rossville ball teams and a fixture behind the bat. His friends are many, he made in nearly two decades with the team. He was a gentleman wherever you met him, on the ball field, in business or in his home with a personality that drew friends. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Wall Diffenderfer Funeral Home in Topeka, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Waldron. Many old friends attended. His body was brought to Rossville cemetery for burial. Pallbearers were Clarence Emert, Joe Navarre, Ralph Page, W. H. Kerr, Homer Reid and Roy Wit. Surviving are his wife, Gladys; two sisters, Mrs. Pearl Martin, Topeka, and Mrs. Gertrude Conlan of Miami, Florida, and Capt. Frederick Hook Naval Surgeon with Admiral Halsey’s command in the Pacific area.
