Obituary- Schlup, Walter 2

A Friend
Rossville lost a friend this week. Walt Schlup was put to rest Tues¬day with military honors.

Walt was the man behind the pump. He served as public water and sewer maintenance man. Every month Walt would make the trips to every home in the community to read the water meters. The year around he maintained the pumps at the city water works and' some¬times in the summer dry periods he would be on duty 16 to 20 hours a day to assure a full supply of water for the citizens of the town. In case of a city fire, Walt would be at his station at the water works to keep the tower at top level. Among other duties he performed was the maintenance and operation of the sewer disposal plant south of Rossville.

Yes, Walt performed these important duties for Rossville for a number of years. If a person went out on the street and asked people if they knew Walt Schlup they would probably all say: “Yes, I know Wait, but I don't know anything about him.”

Walt was a friend of everyone but we wonder just how many really knew him for the many important services he rendered the entire community seven days a week, the year around.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Any person having bills or business concerning Walter R. Schlup, deceased, is asked to contact Mrs. Dale Ruff. Rossville, Kansas before March 15, 1959.

NOTICE—Anyone having tools or belongings of the late Walter Schlup is asked to please leave them with Dale Ruff, Rossville.

Walter Schlup who is confined to Winter Veterans Hospital in Topeka is reported to be very ill. He served as Rossville’s Water Commissioner before his illness in November. Last reports were that he is in a coma and kept in oxygen.
