MR.. JOSEPH is DEAD
Prominent Wichitan Passed
Away Yesterday.
HIS LOVE FOR HIS HOME
For His Wife and His Children
His Growing Characteristic.

! Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock, at
his home, No. $50 North Topeka avenue,
with his beloved family about him, MIR.
Hyman Joseph passed away.
Sixty-one years ago, in vine-clad lit
tie cottage in Prussia, with the sun shin
ing through the tiny panes upon the
brightness and neatness and home
warmth within. he first saw the light.
That distant home with it's air of gem
kindly aspect stamped the character of
the man whom Wichita knew, imbued its
graces so strongly upon him, that in an
other land, ana in another cline, and
speaking another language, he carried
them with him to the last, and was to
his final breath-a gentleman of the old
school. This was his browning charac-
teristic, and with it came its compile
ments, an abiding love for his home, a
spirit to touch it with warmth and glad
ness. fast pride in his children, in his
sons and daughters, comfort in their
beauty and womanliness and manliness,
and love and tender regard for his wife.
In the summer evenings he would
gather his family on the verandah and
battle his heart in their mingled happi-
ness, and on wintry nights about the fire
he would find joy in their little joys.
Greater merit than this no man may
have. Every morning he left his home,
happy because he had left 1t bright within
and at night he neared it eager to share
Its comfort and warmth. The greatness
of his loss to the family, the absence
of one SO dear so loving, only those who
have felt it themselves may realize.
When Hyman Joseph was a little boy
he came to America. Thirty-seven years
ago, in Chicago, he and Miss Hanna
Kanlein were married, and from that day
to this, have travelled hand and hand,
heart and heart, every year bringing
them greater joy and love- In 1880 the
family moved to Augusta. Kan, and in
1887 they came to Wichita. During his
residence here Mr.. Joseph was in the
wholesale -four trade, was known in the
city and throughout the section as a man
of his word, Of strict business integrity
and Of excelling industry. His place of
business was at 116 North Market street
About two weeks ago he was stricken.
The trouble was a complicated one of
stomach, and the family, realizing the
worst, were constantly at his side, doing
all they could to relieve his sufferings
and hoping against hope. DR.. Minnick
and DR.. Oldham, DR.. Hoffman
and DR.. McAdams were consulting physi-
clans. Yesterday morning after long suf-
fering he died.
His children and Mrs. Joseph almost
everyone in Wichita knows. The daugh-
tiers are Mrs. Jacob Schweizer of Kan
sas City; Miss Celia, Miss Lena, Miss
Ida, Miss Sadie and Mr.. Charles Joseph
and Mr.. Alex Joseph.
The funeral will take place from the
residence next Sunday morning at 2
o'clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. jacob Schweizer are here
from Kansas City.
Wichita has lost an excellent citizen. a
man whose heart was tender to the
world, responsive to the calls Of charity,
one who in love for his wife, his chill
dren and his little grandchildren, whom
he worshipped, was exemplar to all men.
In their sorrow the family have the
heartfelt sympathy of the community, of
every man and woman in IL
