E. Grutzmacher of Westmoreland and Sopia Burman.
Friends and relatives of Mr. Wm. Valburg were shocked to hear of his sudden death Tuesday afternoon, the cause of which was heart failure.
Mr. Valburg had left the house during the morning, intending to take a walk down through the timber. When he failed to return at noon, his family became worried and started out in search of him. He was found about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, near the railroad track which runs by the farm. From all appearances, he had sat down on a log evidently to rest, when death overtook him. There were no marks of violence to be found nor marks of disturbance on the ground, which led to the supposition that he had passed quietly away, of heart failure.
Mr. Valburg has resided on his farm, 5 miles west of Onaga, for over forty years. He is a native of Holland, coming to this country in his early years. He was a very successful farmer, and highly respected in the community, and his death comes as a great shock. He leaves his wife and a large family of children.
The funeral services will be held at the home on Friday. The obituary will follow next week.
Veatch – Died at Hudson, Stafford County, KS, on Friday June 6 th, 1890, of brain fever, little Blanch Veatch, daughter of M. Veatch of this city, ages about two years.
It will be remembered that Mrs. M. Veatch died in this city last February and that little Blanch, the youngest of her children, was placed in the care of Mrs. Reuben Degraw, now a resident of Hudson. The sad news of Blanch’s death was received by a letter from Mrs. Degraw to the sorrowing father on Wednesday of last week, of which the following is an extract:
“God chose little Blanch as one of his fairest gems, and this morning at 6 o’clock her spirit took its flight to be with one mightier than all of earth. We watched her night and day with the hope that she might be spared, but, alas! Not our will, but that of our Father in heaven.***The funeral services will take place tomorrow (Saturday) at 1 o’clock. We mourn her loss as we know you will.”
Mr. Veatch is almost prostrated by this last blow. He has lost his wife and two of his children within a year, and this last shock was so sudden and unexpected that he is nearly broken down with grief. He has the sympathy of this entire community in his sorrow.
Ruth Alice Van Sickle, a girl of much promise, because of her mental powers and already having achieved depth of personality beyond her years, finished her earthly course in her fifteenth year.
She was the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Van Sickle and was born on September 3, 1923, in Emporia, KS. She had lived in Lawrence ever since July 1927, at which time her father came here to serve on the Haskell campus as director of religious activities. Since her coming to Lawrence, she had won many friends of her own generation. She was active in the departmental work of the first Baptist Church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. Even though she was not physically strong, she did have a vital interest in the program of the Girl Scouts and counted among her best friends, members of the local troop, to which she belonged.
Her school experience was one that was largely determined by her state of health. She was enrolled and attended the grades and classes in Lawrence public schools and was a special student for the fall semester last year in Oread Training School. Her record was considerably better than average and her courage in meeting the fact of increasing physical weakness won the admiration of her instructors. Ruth Alice Van Sickle was acquainted with pain. The last years of her life were spent within the severe disciplines of sickness. The doctors and nurses who attended her both in her home and at the hospital appreciated her uncomplaining endurance of so much. Her disposition included qualities of courage and gentleness. Her physical condition could evoke a sincere expression of pity, but she wanted none of it. Through all her experience of living, so full of almost unrelieved tragedy, it seems to us, she did become a person of maturity above her years.
Friends and relatives of Ruth and friends of the family gathered at the First Baptist Church on Monday, the 13 th of June to celebrate her life. There they came seeking utterance of Christian faith for such a time. It was as she would have had it; parents and brothers, Girl Scouts and friends of the church and home all meeting to become aware again that a person’s life is bigger than any pain he might have to endure and that “life is ever lord of death.”
Ruth Alice Van Sickle, died in June 10 th in the Bell Memorial hospital, Kansas City, KS, but in the mystery of the grace under which we live, it is our faith that she will have her continuing presence in the hearts of her loved ones and in the heart of God forever. -- Lawrence Journal World.

To some it is given that life shall be brief, to some life means little, to some a long and useful life is granted. To David Fred Vautravers was given 83 years, 3 months, and 29 days of life filled with such usefulness that all who knew him will remember his life as of the highest and finest and best to which men attain. His children rise up and call him blessed.
He was born near Neuchatel, Kansas, May 25 th, 1860 and died at his home in Onaga, September 24, 1943, having spent his entire life within the confines of the community. Forty of these years were lived in the little town that knew him so favorably. Here he served his community as a member of the city council and of the school board.
He was married to Laura Jacot on October 7, 1893. These good folks were denied the privilege of celebrating their golden wedding anniversary by only two weeks. Two children came to bless their home, Alice Bonjour of near Onaga, and Walter Vautravers, who lives on the homestead near Neuchatel.
Mr. Vautravers watched with interest the growth and development of the community from his earliest days, and contributed his part to that development. He was a member of the Onaga Congregational Church, having transferred from the Neuchatel church after coming to town to make his home. His name is part of the Official Board Record, being one of the deacons. For the past several years he has been in a state of declining health, and welcomed the end of the journey as one approaching Home.
In his home he was kind, loving, and thoughtful, always seeking to guide his loved ones in the way of high aims and right living. His memory will long linger as a sweet savor in the hearts of those who knew him best. His church will miss his kindly council and friendly and helpful attitudes.
He leaves to mourn his loss his beloved life-long companion, the son and daughter, two grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Bertha Labbe of Neuchatel and Mrs. Sarah Gray of Onaga, and an unnumbered host of loyal friends and neighbors.
Funeral services were held at the Congregational Church Sunday afternoon in charge of Rev. W. A. Lower, and interment was in the Onaga Cemetery.
Funeral services will be held Friday October 7 at 2 o’clock at the Congregational Church for Mrs. Laura Vautravers, who passed away in Community Hospital Tuesday, October 4. Services will be conducted by the Rev. M. H. Marshall, and burial will be in the Onaga Cemetery.
Mrs. Vautravers, who was 87, was born in Chaux-De-Fonds, Switzerland and came to this country with her parents when she was 18 years old. They settled in the Neuchatel community where she married Mr. Fred Vautravers, and where they continued to live for about six years. At that time they moved into Onaga where Mrs. Vautravers has resided since. She was the last survivor of her immediate family.

Sylvester Edwin Veatch, son of Marcellus and Olive Veatch, was born January 11, 1880 at Marion, Indiana and passed away June 7, 1952 at the age of 72 years, 4 months and 26 days.
Mr. Veatch came to Onaga, Kansas from Indiana in 1884 with his parents, and in 1903 he came to Hudson, Kansas, where he took a correspondence course in Pharmacy and practiced two years in Hudson. He then was appointed postmaster, where he served until 1914 when he moved to the farm 7 miles west of Hudson. Here he farmed until in 1948 when he moved to St. John where he was living when he passed away.

He has been a member of the I.O.O.F. lodge since 1903 and also a member of the Masonic lodge for a number of years.
Mr. Veatch, or Vess as he was known and called by his many friends, was always interested in those things which were elevating and useful i[n] making the lives and homes better. He appreciated so much the best things in life, the things which help to build character and always gave help and encouragement to those needing it.
He was a great reader and bible student and kept abreast of times and events. He also was a great music lover and his very soul was thrilled when the old familiar hymns of the church were being sung, and when opportunity offered he would join in singing them as long as his health permitted.
