Her Journey Ended.

After struggle which has lasted for
many months, the soul of Mrs. Ger
trude Klein departed f,om its tired
body on Monday evening June 18th,
at 7:30. Deceased had been un-
conscious for several days, and while
it is sad to lay away mother, the end
relieved the anxiety and care of the
faithful children, who have done all
that could be done for her relief.
Deceased was born in Germany on
the 22nd- of Octobe- 1923, and emf
grated to this country with her par
ents. She was married at Mendoza
Ills. to Peter Klein and in the seven
ties they settled in the east end of
this county. Her husband and four
children have preceded her into the
great eternity, and six children sur
wives her. They are Henry ]. exre-
gister of deeds of Barton county, now
living at Kingman, Mrs. Josephine
Smith, also of Kingman, George of
Edmond, Okla, Mrs. Anna Schartz
: of Fl.inv od, Will our towsman, and
Mrs. Mary Downey of Ellinwood.
The writer had a close personal
acquaintance with the deceased. AS
former resident of Ellinwoed, living
within a stones throw of the Klein,
home, we have hundreds of times
been the recipient of kind words
from her, and enjoyed her hospitality.
She was noble, good and true
woman, whose every act in life was
for the betterment of those surround
ing her, and taught her children to
tread in the path of justice and righte-
business. She was one who will be
missed in Ellinwood which for SO
many years was her home, and where
many marks remain of her faithfulnes
and zeal. Having arrived at that
stage in her life's journey where she
recognized but one result, she was
faithful to her teachings and ready to
respond to the call of her Maker, by
whom she was assured of that eternal
happiness which comes to all good
pilgrims at the end of their journey
And as we lay her away in the cold
earth, we have the satisfaction OF
knowing that one who did her duty
has gone to her reward. The sympa
thy of our citizens goes out to the
bereaved. The funeral service:
took place at Ellinwood, Wednesday

OVER 500 B ODlES RECOVERED.
Yet More Victims of the Steamboat
Disaster Are Looked For.

New York, June 16.-The work of
rescuing from the water the bodies of
the victims of the disaster aboard the
General Slocum yesterday, was car
ried on all night. At seven this
morning, 489 bodies had been recov-
cred. Eight in one group were pick
ed up off north from Brothers island.
Divers arr at work today in the waeer-
filled hull of the vessel, where many
bodies are. Scenes of heartrending
pathos continue on the pier, where
those who had friends and relatives
aboard pass between long lines of
dead, looking for their loved ones.
Health Commissioner Darlington
estimates that the loss of the General
Slocum disaster will number at least
thousand. Others place the death
list at 500. Fewer than 500 of the
1900 who sailed are accounted for at
the hospitals and homes. Most of
the bodies are burned beyond recog-
milton. Less than 200 have thus far
been identified.
A thick white mist settled over the
hulk this morning as if to cover the
horror spot with a mantle. Besides
the divers numerous small boats
manned by iremen and policemen are
plying in the waters below the wreck
constantly picking up bodies. Every
now and then this morning a diver or
graphing hook brought blackened
corpse to the surface. When several
had been recovered they were taken
to the city tug and placed in white
boxes, and when a load was secured
it would steam to the 260th street>pier
where a temporary morgue had been
established.
Investigation into the cause of the
fire is Continuing. No one has been
found who saw the fire start, and the
ocause may never be determined
The blaze originated near the store
room for lamps and oils. Captain
Van Schayek, who is prisoner at the
hospital said today, "If l did wrong
