Obituary- Wood, Richard 2

He practiced the golden rule in his dealing with others and his life was a model of true christian citizenship.

Mr. Wood was a great friend of the local newspaper. Once each year he called at the office and with his face beaming with good nature would pay his subscription and tell the editor what a good paper he was making and how much it was appreciated. And then with good wishes for our success he would depart. Each year his steps have grown more feeble and last January it was necessary to assist him into the office and we knew that his work on earth was almost done--that he was even then entering the shadows of the valley of death. He had passed on to a rich reward and while relatives and friends mourn his going, there is solace in the knowledge that all is well with him.

Mr. Wood was a member of the Baptist Church. His funeral was held Thursday afternoon, April 7th, from the U.B. Church near his farm and was conducted by the Rev. H.L. Nelson of Topeka. A large concourse of neighbors and friends gathered to pay the last tribute of respect and extend sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

The interment took place in the Rossville City cemetery.
