| Obituary- Randall, Mildred MILDRED RANDALL KILLED
IN CROSSING ACCIDENT
The community was shocked Sunday when news was received here of the death of Mrs. Mildred Conrad Randall, when the Randall car was struck by a Union Pacific train on a crossing at Kanapolis, Kan.
The accident occurred sometime after midnight Saturday as Mr. and Mrs. Randall were enroute to Hays, Kansas.
Details are meagre as Mr. Randall was terribly shocked by the collision, although escaping without serious injury. The car caught fire after the collision and burned.
Mrs. Randall lived only a short time after the accident.
I. B. Wilt of this, city, who had boarded the train at Ellsworth, assisted the trainmen in caring for the Randall’s and identified them. He was on his way to Rossville to spend Sunday with home folks.
Mr. and Mrs. Randall, in their car, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Conrad, of Topeka were enroute to Hays, where the latter were to make their home, having taken a job at the Hays Teachers’ college. Mr. and Mrs. Conrad started in the lead and somewhere enroute the Randall car took the lead. The parties had agreed to meet at a town father west After reaching the meeting place Mr. and Mrs. Conrad become worried when the Randall’s failed to appear and started back to hunt them. At about 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon they learned of the tragedy. They had stopped for breakfast in Ellsworth where their daughter had been taken following the accident, but did not learn of the accident until their return.
The body was brought to St. Marys, Monday. Funeral services were held in Immaculate Conception Catholic church, Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock and interment was in the St. Marys cemetery.
Rossville friends of the Conrad family and former school mates of Mildred, in great numbers attended the funeral.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Randall graduated from Rossville High school, he with the class of 1924 and she in the class of 1926.
Since their graduation and later marriage they had lived in Ohio, later returning to Kansas. Until a few days before her death Mrs. Randall had been employed for a few weeks in the local “Central office,” and was employed to teach this fall in Shawnee county near Dover.
Both were ambitious to improve their education and Mr. Randall was due to enter Hays college this fall.
The bereaved husband and parents have the sympathy of the Rossville people in the untimely death of the wife and daughter.
