Title:DODD
Article:Adelia Almedia STEELE, daughter of Oliver H. Perry and Caroline STEELE was born at Flag Station, Ogle Co, Illinois on July 4, 1864 and departed this life Nov 10, 1941 at her home in Strawberry township, aged 77 years, 4 months and 6 days. In 1883 in company with her family, she came to Washington Co, Kansas, where they settled and which locality has for nearly 60 years been her home. Thus, mother DODD has witnessed and been an integral part in the growth of the locality since the late pioneer days. On Oct 25, 1885, she was united in marriage to Thomas C. DODD. To this union 3 sons were born, Thomas C. and Alba C, both of Linn, KS and Perry A., who died in defense of his country in the World War at Chatereaux, France, on Mar 27, 1918. Mr. DODD, Sr. died several years ago. Surviving besides the two sons and their wives are 12 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, also 4 sisters, Mrs. Cora ANDERSON of Clifton, Mrs Ada MILLER of Jacksonville, Texas; Mrs. Bertha JOHNSON, Longmont, CO; Mrs. Vashti WAYMAN of Willow Springs, Missouri; one sister-in-law, Mrs. Eliza STEELE of Manhattan, Kansas and a host of friends and neighbors. The funeral services were held at the Throop church at 2 o'clock on Tuesday, Nov 11, with the Rev. F.E. WENDLAND in charge. Six nephews were pallbearers, Perry N, and Fay E. CHUBBUCK, Munce N. JOHNSON, Oliver P. STEELE, Claude and Clarence ANDERSON. By Mrs. DODD's request the music was in charge of another nephew, Willis DARBY. Also by her special request the hymn "Waiting and Watching for Me" was sung. It had been sung at her sisters funeral in 1893 and also at her father and mother's funerals. In this day of defense activities it is singular that Mrs. DODD's birthday should be July 4, and her burial Nov 11 and buried as she was in Washington City Cemetery, she was placed in the family lot beside the two absent ones of her family, the husband Thomas C., a veteran and son, Perry A. a veteran of the World War.

Title:Monroe, Vaugh M..
Article:With odds overwhelmingly against him, Vaugh M. MONROE after making a strenuous fight for his life, finally surrendered to Him, Whom he had so diligently served, passing away at the home of his parents, March 5, 1929 at the age of 24 yrs, 6 mos, and 25 days. In the passing of this young man it can truly be said that "he fought a good fight, he kept the faith, and he reached the goal".

The sorrow of this hour dates back several years when disease began to undermine his prospects for life. Vaughn bore his afflictions bravely, and suffered severely and intensely without a murmur. All was done for him that could be done.

He was born Aug 10, 1903 and he was reared to manhood in this and the Morrowville community. His congenial disposition won him a host of friends, who have watched his gradual decline of the past few years with aching hearts, deploring the fact that there was nothing they could do that would restore him to health.

He was a dutiful son, immeasurably and sincerely devoted to his parents, deeply appreciating all their sacrifice and heart aches in his behalf. He was a seeker after truth, an earnest worker and a serious minded youth whose possibilities for good promised a brilliant future. He graduated from the Washington High School with the class of '23 and each and every on e of his classmates are ready and willing to pay a tribute to his memory for the exemplary character he ever displayed in school. He was a favorite with them then, for he showed a kindliness and wisdom beyond his years and yet was ever unpretending and unassuming with it all.

He united with the Christian church about nine years ago and remained true to the faith unto the end. Those left to mourn his untimely departured are his father and mother, Mr and Mrs J. O. MONROE, a number of aunts, uncles and cousins and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at the Hickory Grove church, conducted by Rev. Wesley PRUETT of DeKalb, Missouri. And the remains were laid to rest in the Hickory Grove Church (??).

Title:ROONEY
Article:A sense of deep sorrow prevailed throughout the community Friday morning, Jan 1 when the word came of the passing of Harry ROONEY at the Patterson Memorial Hospital at Belleville at 8:30 o'clock. His death was accidental due to asphyxiation in the MILLER home in Belleville, KS, the night of Dec 28, caused from fumes from a gas furnace. George MILLER, as associate in the ROONEY Motor Co, in Belleville was dead when they were found by friends Tuesday noon, Dec 29. Harry, who was unconscious when found was taken to the Patterson Memorial Hospital in Belleville, where Doctors BEIDEWELL and MUNFORD worked tirelessly over him until he passed away Friday morning, never having regained consciousness. Other medical advise including that of Dr. MAYO, was obtained but nothing further could be done. In the story of his life, Harry Edward ROONEY was born at Haddam, KS May 22, 1914 and departed this life Jan 1, 1943 at the age of 28 years, 7 months and 19 days. He was the seventh child of William T. and Otilla ROONEY.

After his graduation from the Haddam public schools, Harry attended St. Benedict's in Atchinson one year, then Kansas State College at Manhattan, where he was a member of the Phi Deltha Theata fraternity. More than any of the other ROONEY children, Harry has been identified with the Haddam community and in recent months the towns of Belleville and Brewster. After college he formed a partnership with his brother George, to conduct the ROONEY Motor Co. car agency at Haddam and Belleville. Later they acquired a ranch at Brewster, Kansas.

Harry was interested in aviation, he had piloted planes and tried repeatedly during the past year to enlist in the Air Corps, but was unable to pass the physical examinations, due to defective eyesight and an asthmatic condition. Therefore,. He stayed home to manage their various undertakings while his brother George has been in the service of his country the past year.

Harry was one of a family of ten children: Anne, director of Town School, a private day boarding school for girls, Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois; Mabel, Mrs. James J. CAHILL, Forrest Hills, Long Island, New York; Mary, dietitian, Charity Hospital, New Orleans, Louisiana; Wm. T. Jr., rancher, Deerfield, KS.; father of W. T. the third and Linda Ann, only nephew and niece of Harry; Helen, artist, Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. ; George, 1st Lieutenant, Army Camp Beaurgard, LA; Harry deceased Jan 1, 1943; Paul Senior Lieutenant, U.S. Army fighter plane duty; Frederick born Dec 10, 1917, passed away eleven days later; Geraldine, Mrs. Donald SIMPSON, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

The death of Harry was the first one in the W. T. ROONEY family since that of baby Frederick twenty-five years ago. Harry with his brothers and sisters and close friends enjoyed gathering in the family home. There was a tie of affection that held the family close together. Now, something of the joy of living has gone from the family circle, and while no doubt they will be together again. Harry's passing will leave a vacant place which will be filled only by a beautiful memory of him. The community suffers a loss in his passing, as well as the youngsters on the street, who always knew they could depend on Harry. Harry was a member of the Haddam Masonic and Odd Fellows Orders. Services were held at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon, Jan 5 at the Methodist church in Haddam. They were simple, with the reading of the Episcopah ritual by Rev. NEWTON of Clay Center, KS, with one song, "My Task" by Tom BROWN, tenor of Belleville, KS. He was one of Harry's close friends. Burial was in the family plot in Haddam cemetery.

On May 16, 1917, she was united in marriage to Melvin E. AKERS at Belleville, Kansas. to this union was born one daughter, Mildred. To their home she brought a genuine sincerity and devotion to duty. On Easter Sunday in 1921, Mrs. AKERS committed her life to God and united with the Methodist Protestant church in the community. Mrs. AKERS was always active in her church, working in the ladies' organizations and to the general church life. Out of a high Christian faith flowed a constant concern for life's beautiful things. A loving mother she was always sought to make the atmosphere of her home warmly loving. Her love for flowers led her to give much time and energy to cultivating them and giving them to others. To the end she found great joy in the growing interests of her young granddaughter, Cheryl. Some years ago the family moved to Kansas City. Here Mrs. AKERS found herself in failing health for the last two years. Death was preceded by a rather prolonged serious illness. Throughout these days the inevitable struggle found her unafraid. She has wished to live on here, but when she knew that this desire could not be granted, in staunch faith she took the other course triumphantly. Now she lives on both in the lives of those who card for her so faithfully and in a better world beyond this one. Mrs. AKERS is survived by her husband, Melvin E. AKERS; her daughter, Mrs. Mildred A. TURNER living at home, whose husband Howard E. TURNER, has been in naval operations in the Pacific for the past year; her mother, Mrs. Lula SNARE of Washington, KS; a brother Carl R. LYONS of Golden Acres, Independence, MO; and a granddaughter Cheryl Ann TURNER. Mrs. AKERS was preceded in death by her father Frank LYONS in 1921. Relatives and Friends and neighbors share with the family the loss of a friend. To these folks, the family wishes to express its deep appreciation for their many kindnesses and helpfulness during Mrs. AKERS illness.
