Obituary- Hook, Clyde

Monroe Hook Passes Away

It is with sincere regret and sorrow we chronicle the passing away of Clyde Monroe Hook, whose death occurred on Saturday, May 3rd, at Albuquerque, New Mexico after a period of failing health of several months duration.

"Chub" as he was familiarly known far and wide among his old school mates and acquaintances, was a product of this vicinity having been born and reared north of Rossville, and a young man whom all were glad to number among their friends. He was of a quiet and unassuming disposition, thrifty and hard working and was rapidly building for himself and family a competence when death cut short his early career.

For the past five years he had been employed at the Post Exchange at Fort Riley, where they had learned to respect him as a brother and as a mark of their esteem the exchange was closed for a day in honor of his memory, a proceeding as rare as it was unusual. Mr. Moody, the foreman was sent to be a pallbearer and brought many beautiful floral offerings from "Chubs" former co-workers.

The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church on Wednesday, conducted by the Rev. H.L. Nelson, of Topeka assisted by Rev. G.A. Chatfield, and interment was made in the Rossville cemetery, under the auspices of the A.O.U.W., lodge of which he had been a life long member.
