Obituary- Wilbur, William

ROSSVILLE MAN DROWNS NEAR MARYSVILLE

TOPEKA (July 19) – The body of William Wilbur, 49, of Rossville was recovered Wednesday afternoon from the Blue River near Marysville. Wilbur, an employee of a Union Pacific bridge gang, had gone fishing with two other employees Tuesday night. He still was fishing when they left him.

A search was begun Wednesday morning when he failed to report for work and his car was found where he had left it Tuesday night. He apparently had fallen into the water while fishing.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Celeste Wilbur of the home; a son, William Wilbur of the home; two step-sons, James and John Vanderblomen, both of Rossville; and two step-daughters, Janice Vanderblomen of the home, and Miss Judith Vanderblomen, Hoyt.
