    S. H. STROUP
    Scott Hamilton Stroup was born in Indiana, February 4, 1858. He passed way at his home in Rossville, December 24, 1934, at the age of 78 years, 10 months and 20 days.

    Mr. Stroup came to Tecumseh, Kansas, with his parents in 1864. As a young man he came to Rossville and most of his lifetime has been spent here.

    He was united in marriage to Edith May Baker, September 20, 1905. Two sons were born to this union, both of whom survive him. They are Nathan of Topeka, and Otis of Rossville. Mrs. Stroup preceded him in death, passing away about 25 years ago. One grandson, Otis Scott Stroup, also survives him.

    Mr. Stroup was a member of the local Christian church for many years. In recent years he has been regular and dependable at his job of carrying the mail between the post office and the depot.

    Funeral services were held at the Christian church here, this (Thursday) afternoon, in change of Rev. Wright Horton.

    Pallbearers were Messrs. A. B. Jamieson, Albert Reser, Charles Parr Norman White, Harry Gutshall, and U. G. Stewart. Music was furnished by Mrs. A. B. Jamieson and Mrs. Albert Reser, accompanied by Miss Edith Higginbotham.

    Interment was made in the Rossville cemetery.

    CARD OF THANKS — We are truly grateful to friends and neighbors whose sympathy and help have lightened the burden of our sorrow in the death of our father; also for the comfort of music and flowers.
