Obituary- Stanley, Amy

ROSSVILLE’S OLDEST CITIZEN GONE
With the death of Mrs. Amy Stanley, at 7 a.m. last Sunday, the oldest person in Rossville township, and perhaps in the county, passed away. Mrs. Stanley was 95 years, 4 months and 14 days old. For many years Mrs. Stanley has been a shut-in. Her death was caused by injuries received in a fall from her chair in which her side, hip and knee were injured and her great age was against her recovery.

Mrs. Stanley has always made her home with the family of her son. A. S. Stanley, who has been greatly devoted to her and left nothing undone for her comfort and welfare.

Mrs. Stanley was a native of Ohio. She was born at Athens, Athens county, on January 5, 1823, came to Kansas with her family in 1880 locating at Rossville and making her residence here thirty-eight years.

The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the Methodist church, conducted by the Rev. J. R. Shaffer, who was assisted by the Revs. A. J. Crawford, of the Presbyterian church, and F. H. Bently, of the Christian church. Interment was made in the family lot in the Rossville cemetery. Mrs. Stanley is survived by three sons, A. S. Stanley of Rossville, Carl Stanley, Albany, Ohio; Eugene Stanley, Danville, Ill., and one daughter, Mrs. Lora E. Fisher, of Toledo, Ohio.
