About that time they moved Bellevue, Iowa, when they redded untyl 1870, when they moved to Kingmatt county, Kansas. In those days the country was new, and they underwent the hardships of frontier life, having lived In a covered wagon for two years, and later they a hotel in a dugout west, of where the of Kingman now stands. They prospered with the advance of western emigration, and Mr. Weinschenk became one of tlje large land owners of that section of the country. Since his death, which occured in 1907, Mrs.

Weinschenk has made her home with her daughter Mrs. Lizzie Gorge in Andale. Although she has been in poor health for some time, tier last illness was of short duration, and the announcement of her aeath was a shock to her friends and relatives. She was buried with the beautiful Catholic service, in which faith she had always lived, the interement being in the Andale cemetery, Monsignor Schmei-hausen conducting the last rites. Mrs.

Weinschenk was survived by ten children. Those who were present at the funeral are these: Mrs. Tillie Swope and Mrs. Barbara Smith of Willowdale, Kansas; Tony. Wein S.

W. JDeist Goes to Sedgwick- S. W. Deist, who for the past three years has been yard-man at the Ultch number Yard in this city, resigned his position1 last week and left Satuiv day for Sedgwick where he has accent ed the management of a furniture was made in the Falrvlew cemetery. The accident which caused Mr.

Ford's death is, the most peculiar that has ever happened here. It being a tree that'he had planted himself some 30 years ago, which he was cutting down preparatory to have made into lumber to build a new house. Probably no one can call to mind and incident of this particular kind. The funeral was the largest ever held in this neighborhood, the procession being just one solid mile long. There were about 700 people in attendance, and all friends of the Ueceased.

Being among the first settlers in Kingman, he found ample opportunity to indulge his big hearted ness among the deserving poor, and no one in distress ever called on him in vain. The night was never too dark the unfortunate' neighbor too far away for John Ford to fail to respond promptly to any call of distress. 'In as much as have it unto one of the least of these, my children," will find many blessings laid up for him. He shone the brightest where he could do the most, and the poor man in distress lost one he could always turn to when John Ford closed his eyes in death. Another of those, whti "bore the burden in the heat of the day" has passed away.

Ford, as a friend, and neighbor; was a loyal and upright man in all his dealings, and no one ever come to him for help and went away without finding it. He was a man that everybody liked, both young and old, and he never forgot a face, and everyone was his friend. He was a devoted husband and father, and prided him- self in helping those who came to him in need, it mattered not whether high or lowly. We know of no nerson that had so many friends as. he, and he never made an enemy in his life-time.
