  Obituary- McCleery, Frank Frank McCleery The last of the McCleery men to live in the McCleery timber died Monday night, May 6, the victim of his third stroke. He was Frank McCleery, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Sam McCleery, pioneer settlers of the earliest 1870’s The latter passed away in December, 1938, at the age of 95 years. The former died in 1926 at the age of 88. Frank McCleery was called to his Maker in the 65-year-old home of his parents, part of which was a log building they had purchased from the Indians. It is located two miles southeast of St. Marys, back in the woods a quarter-mile from the Sandy Hook road, known in the earlier days as Mission Lane. Frank was 68 years old and a native of Pottawatomie county, having been born April 21, 1872, near St. Clere. Of a retiring disposition, his acquaintance was not wide among the younger generation, but the respect in which he was held by his neighbors was attested during his final illness. A great traveller in his youth, Frank was a nature lover to his last days. He would roam the timberlands and often sought relaxation along the banks of the Kaw. He was an inveterate reader, too, and never failed to devote a few minutes each day to a perusal of the Bible. He is survived by his widow, Blanche Gutshall McCleery whom he married April 14, 1921, and by two daughters, Mary, 15, and Lucille 13. He is also survived by two brothers, Walter of Rossville, and James, of Kansas City; and Mrs. Jennie Nightwine of North Topeka. Pallbearers were Ernest and Achille Ronsse, Henry Stockman, Fred Hesse Clarence Yocum and Charles Berkey. Funeral services were at the Feebler Funeral Home, North Topeka, with burial in Rochester cemetery, North Topeka.—St. Marys Star.
