For the past few years, Mr.. Healing
has been on the decline in health, but
continued his work, not stopping for
rest nor recreation. He gave his en-
tire and undivided time to the school
and its work. On account of his con-
dition school was closed week ear
lier last May to give him more time
to rest, however owing to the work
! of repairing, remodeling and Install
ing machinery, etc, he did not go
until August. He returned in Sep
tember, spent a week at his desk and
was taken down ill again. For eight
weeks he was confined to his bed.
Recovering slightly, he went to Texas
to convalesce, where he remained un-
til the first of the year when he re-
turned to Kansas feeling improved
but did not return to his desk. Re
naming in bed he made an earnest
effort to handle matters pertaining to
the school, but failed Several spec
ialists were called in consultation but
little hope was manifested by them
for his recovery. On Monday night,
after seemingly restful day he pass
ed to the Great Beyond at the hour
of 81 So. His family had gathered at
his bedside some days previous. He
