S. Johnson. Mr. and Mirs. Johnson left their home and relatives in Ohio for the West, coming after a short residence in Holden, to Girard, Kansas, in 1875 where they have since made their home.

While young Mrs. Johnson united with the church, and early in the history of the Girard Presbyterian Church became and continued to be one of its active members till the sudden call came to join the church invisible. The call found her house set in order and her lamp trimmed and burning bright. Not only has this community fost a prominent pioneer, but it has also lost a noble, refined Christian woman. Mrs.

Johnson was an ideal homemaker. The earliest memories of the writer are most fondly linked with that home and the presence that made it a home of love, purity, comfort, and good cheer. Mrs. Johnson was ever a loving, tender mother and grandmother, a constant, true friend, and a happy, unassuming, faithful Christian woman. Her tasks of love have been completed.

Her life was a benediction and was taken "To teach our hearts tp turn from earth to heaven."

Death of a Pioneer. Strawder Leroy Roseboom was born Sept. 27th, 1856, in Ross County, Ohio, and died Oct. 5th, 1916, aged 60 years and 3 days. When a boy 14 years of age he moved with his parents to Kansas and settled six miles northeast of Girard.

Here he grew to manhood and when the boom of western Kansas came he with some other boys went west and located at Greensburg. Here he engaged in driving the stage over the Cannon Ball Stage Route from Greensburg to Saratoga and he often related his experience as a stage driver in the west. He came back home in 1887 bought a farm near his old home and married Gilla E. Martin on Jan. 30th, 1889.

Here he lived until death claimed him. He has tried to live a quiet Christian life and was always found at his place in Sunday School and church. Here he seemed to enjoy life most until a little over a year ago when he was taken from his home to a hospital at Osawatomie. On returning home he never seemed to recover completely. He became despondent and went into a decline and has been a great sufferer.

He leaves to mourn his death, a wife and six children, Martha, Minnie, Grace, Ralph, Floren, and Ernest, all at home. Two children preceded him to that haven of rest. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. E.
