  Documents		Marriage- Wilt, Fannie-Silvers, Clarence Wilt-Silvers One of the prettiest home weddings ever solemnized in Rossville took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Wilt, Tuesday evening, April 16th, when Miss Fannie Louise became the wife of Clarence H. Silvers, Rev. C.B. Chatfield, pastor of the Presbyterian church, officiating using the ring service. The bride and groom entered the parlor to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Mary Chatfield and were preceded first by the Misses Doris Jamieson, Mabel Binns, Irene Howard, Ruby Wilt and Clara Wilt, nieces of the bride, as ribbon bearers, with Mrs. Chas. Ross and Miss Marie Hamilton, of Topeka, as attendants. They marched down the ribboned aisle to the west end of the room, standing in front of a beautiful back-ground of ferns and potted plants where the mystic words were spoken that binds them together while life lasts. Miss Arline Wilt, a niece of the bride's, carried the ring in the heart of a white rose; she handed the ring to the groom, who placed it on the finger of his bride, then followed a song by Mrs. Violet McCoy. The bride wore a dress of white silk, an overdress of embroidered net and the groom wore the conventional black. Miss Fannie is one of the most lovable girls we ever met, always smiling, a kind greeting for all her friends taking a deep interest in everything that tends to make one better, therefore happier and the groom is a substantial farmer, well liked and a man of well known honor and integrity. What more can one say? Miss Mabel Binns presided over the punch bowl, in the dining room, to which the guests repaired after congratulations and drank to the health of the newly wedded couple and a luncheon of ice cream and cake was served. It was a little hour when the happy throng wended their ways homeward, wishing them much happiness. They will reside on the groom's farm, south east of town. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. T.E. Reinhart, Mrs. Emma Ellis, Mr. Emmett Silvers, Mr. Frank Silvers, Mrs. Chas. Ross, Miss Marie Hamilton, Rev. and Mrs. Chatfield and family, Mr. and Mrs. D. Wilt, Mrs. E. Silvers and daughter Anna, Mr. and Mrs. E.D. Hartzell, Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Cless, Editor and wife, Mrs. Violet McCoy, Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. R.L. Wilt and family, Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Jamieson and family, Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Wilt, Mrs. Bradford Miller, Mr. and Mrs. E.J. Howard and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. I.B. Wilt and family and Mr. and Mrs. F.N. Binns and daughter.

• Documents		Obituary- Silvers, Clarence 1 Death of Clarence Silvers Clarence Silvers died very suddenly Saturday, September 19, While in conversation with Daniel Wilt in the road in front of his farm residence two miles southeast of Rossville. Death was caused by heart disease. Mr. Silvers had not been in the best of health for several weeks. The news of his death came to town at 11 o’clock and was a great shock. Only the day before he was about town and attended the fair on the evening before he passed away. Mr. Silvers had been a sufferer from the disease since childhood. Mr. Silvers was 37 years of age. He grew to manhood in this vicinity on the farm where he lived at that time of his death. After the death of his father his mother and brothers moved to Rossville and he continued on the place. For several years Mr. Silvers has been farming considerable other ground beside the home place and last year tended nearly 300 acres of rented ground. The past summer has been a strenuous one for him and it is likely the worries and hard work was too great a strain. The funeral was held yesterday at the home. Rev. H. L. Nelson, of Topeka conducted a short service after which Topeka Commandary No. 5, Knights Templar took charge of the service. The Workman lodge had charge of the service at the grave. One of the greatest turnouts of sympathetic friends ever seen in Rossville attended the funeral and followed the body to its last resting place.

Howard, administrator for the estate of Clarence Silvers, Rossville; Ellen Silvers, her mother-in-law, 109 East Tenth street, Topeka; S. F. Page, Rossville, and the Rossville State bank. The suit is filed to obtain money representing one-eighth interest in the estate of the late Emanuel Silvers at Rossville. She claims the right to the share in the property by right of being the widow of Clarence Silvers, deceased, a son of Emanuel Silvers. The plaintiff alleges that following the death of her father-in-law the mother-in-law formed an agreement with her husband whereby the son deeded the latter his share I the estate in order that a mortgage raising money for the husband’s two brothers in Idaho might be placed upon the farm. After the mortgage was paid off, the petition recites, the mother-in-law sold the farm for n$19,000, a part of the money being on deposit in the Rossville State bank, according to the plaintiff. The plaintiff asks that she be given judgement against Ellen Silvers for $2,375, which represents the one-eighth interest claimed by the plaintiff. Three hundred and seventy-five dollars, representing one-eighth of the claimed rental value of the estate for the last three years is also asked for. The court is also petitioned to annul the deed made by the late Clarence Silvers to the mother.
