About H. G. Cross: An interview
appears in the Kansas City Journal il
regard to the death of Colonel Cross, in
which Colonel H. @. Whitley says
"The death Of H. G. Cross has brought
sorrow to many home in our city and
all over our section of the state Dur
ing his long residence in the city he had
eeh very active in business matters,
and BONG Of liberal mind, had been
appealed to on every occasion when
money was needed for any public pur-
pose Be it said to his credit, he was
never asked for assistance for any
worthy cause and refused. There is not
a church anywhere in that country that
he has not helped pay for; thore has
never been public enterprise started
in that city that did not feel the bene-
! fit of his assistance. He was one of the
most companionable men in the coun-
try, and there was not home in the
city that was not in mourning when his
death was announced. The city will
feel his loss, but there arc many monu-
ments there Of his active life that will
long stand to perpetuate his memory.
He was one of the men who helped
make Kansas, and had intimate friends
all over the state He was always a
friend of the state, and defended 1t
against all attacks"
