Mrs. J. Harding At Rest
Mrs. Rose Harding, wife of J. Harding died last Monday even-ing at six o'clock after an illness of only a few days. Her death was a shock to the people of Rossville as well as her own family, as her illness was not thought to be of a dangerous nature. Mrs. Harding took down last week with a severe attack of la grippe and she was apparently recover¬ing from its attack, until Monday evening when Mr. Harding be¬came alarmed at her condition and sent for a physician. Mrs. Harding quietly passed away before help arrived. Mrs. Harding has always been a prominent worker of tire Christian church of Rossville, and her loss will be keenly felt in the activities of its members as well as by a host of friends who have known her for the many years she has lived here. To her family she was especially devoted and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to them in their great loss. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the Christian church, conducted by Rev. Mr. Lyons, of Topeka, and interment made in the Rossville cemetery.
