    Mrs. John Ropp Passed Away
    Sarah Jane Ropp aged 78 years 2 months and 22 days passed away at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, Feb. 10, after a short illness. Her death was due to over exertion in caring for the sick members of her family. Mrs. Ropp had been frail for years with frequent attacks of her heart and her age made each attack of increasing severity.

    Sarah Jane Kelley was born November 19, 1841, at Hartford, Backford County, Indiana. At the age of 19 she was united in marriage to John R. Ropp at Hartford City, Ind., where they lived until 1869 when they came with their family to Kansas settling first at Silver Lake where they resided for about three years. Next they moved to the Wilmot farm near Maple Hill for one year and moved to Rossville in 1873 where the family has resided since. Mrs. Ropp united with the Methodist church in 1875 at services held at that time in the old school building on north Navarre street and has continued in that faith. Ten children were born to Mrs. Ropp three of whom survive her. Forrest with whom she has made her home since the death of her husband, Grant, of Wakeeney, Kansas, and Mrs. Minnie Haywood, of Rossville. Other surviving relatives are her brother, Joe Kelley and half brother, H. Themas both of Hartford, Ind.

    The funeral was held today at 2 p.m. at the home conducted by Rev. McCulloch of the Methodist church and interment made in the Rossville cemetery.
