Deaths and Funerals

Mrs. Emma R. Troudner, 78, widow of the late George A. Troudner died at the home of her son Clarence L. Troudner, near Wakarusa, Sunday night. Mrs. Troudner and her husband settled on a farm 5 miles southwest of Wakarusa known as Troudner Heights, nearly 50 years ago. Mr. Troudner was one of the organizers of the Alliance Co-Operative Insurance Co. of Topeka and was a director until his death January 2, 1923. Her son Clarence L. Troudner who succeeded his father on the board of directors, still is a member of the board.

Mrs. Troudner was a member of the Women's Relief Corps and the Eastern Star. She also is survived by a granddaughter, Miss Helen Troudner, employee of the Morris Plan bank of Topeka.

Funeral services were at the home of her son at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Burial was in the Wakarusa cemetery.

Mrs. Troudner was well known in Rossville through numerous visits to her friends Mrs. Matilda Hartzell and Mrs. Chettie Howard, whom she had known since the early days. She taught school here in 1874 and 1875 when the late W.G. Gilbert taught here. Her maiden name was Emma Johnson. Her sister, Ella Johnson also taught here in the Twin Rose district and there are many of their former students who will recall them.
