WILLIAM A RHODEN

William A Rhoden was born in
Schuyler County, Missouri, November
6, 1851, and died at his home in Trego
County, Kansas, August 13, 1921,
aged almost seventy years.
Mr.. Rhoden was one of a family OF
thirteen children who with their par
ents moved to Nebraska in 1865. He
graduated from Nebraska State Nor
NAL at Peru and thereafter taught
school several years in Iowa He was
united in marriage to Miss Josephine
Carper November "a, 1881, at
Weeping Water, Nebraska. To this
union four children were born-Willi-
am, now living at Lincoln, Nebraska,
and Leroy and Sterling, living at
EImwood Nebraska. Bernice, their
only daughter died in infancy Mr.
and Mrs. Rhoden also reared a grand
son, Charles w, (son of William,
Jr.) whose mother died when he was
but month old. They came to Trego
county from EImwood, Nebraska, in
1910 and soon established a comfort
able home about four miles east of
this city, where they have resided
ever since. He was successful
farmer and was one of the most high
1y respected and exemplary citizens.
Mr.. Rhoden joined the Masonic
fraternity at Peru, Nebraska, in 1877,
and was afterwards a member of the
Masonic lodge at Plattsmouth, and
still later served as Worshipful Mas
ter of Canopy Lodge No. 200, at Elm
wood, Nebraska, and was also Worthy
Patron of the o. E. S. chapter at that
place. He became a member of Wa
Keeney Lodge in 1915 and was
Worthy Patron of the local chapter

Masonic services were rendered at his
late residence Sunday afternoon and
the remains shipped Monday morn
ing to Elnnwood, Nebraska, where in
terment will take place under the
auspices of the former lodge. Mr..
Rhoden joined the Christian church
at EIwood, Nebraska, in 1898 and re-
tanned his membership there to the
time of his death. His son, William
Rhoden, has been in attendance
at the family home for several weeks
and together with his mother and the
grandson, accompanied the remains
to the place of burial. Mr.. Rhoden
has been ailing for the last four or
five years and realized that his end
was approaching but bore his aff1ic-
tion with courage and fortitude, un-
complainingly. Besides his widow
three sons and several grandchildren
Mr.. Rhoden is survived by seven OF
his brohers and sisters. To these
sorrowing relatives the sincere sym
pathy of a large circle of friends will
be extended.

the business of farming at this time
All are invited to bring their baskets
filled with good thing and come to
this gathering. The social influence
of the gathering will far more than
repay for the time and labor besides
the educational information attained

The story of <eThe Miracle Man"

HUNTED FOR CHILD ALL NIGHT

The greatest excitement which has
occurred in Trego county for several
years happened Sunday night, August
18th, when word was phoned through
out this part of the county that little
Edward BIakely, the coming four
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Guy
Blakely, eight miles southeast of Wa
Keeney, had strayed away from home
about dark and could not be found.
Mr.. and Mrs BIakely and children
spent the Sunday with relatives and
friends in Graham county and had
arrived home about 7:3O in the even
ing. Little Edward was asleep when
they arrived home and Mr.. B1akely
took him out of the car and stood
him on the ground and told him to
run to the house with his mother.
Mr. Blake1y then engaged in CONVEX
sation with his brother and Mr.. Max
well who happened to be there. The
conversation lasted a few minutes
when attention was directed to the
boy and inquiry made concerning him.
1t was found that he had not gone
into the house but that one of the
men had seen him at the edge of
corn field northwest of the house.
Search for him was commenced but
minutes heightened into hours be-
lore any Trace OF nlfn COu1Q De 1OuDU
and the neighbors had been called to
join in the search. About 1890 o.
! clock his tracks were found where he
had walked west between two rows
| of corn The rows were about three
quarters of a mile long. He was
traced to the west end of the field
and there the trail was lost and could
| not be found again. Additional
nelghbOrS and citizens of WaKeeney
were called and Joined in the hunt
! for the lost boy. The corn fields were
searched row by row but without re-
suits. The suspense lasted all night
| and until after day light Monday
| morning when about two hundred
people had gathered and were wonder
| ing what to do next when a phone
| message was received which sent UP
| a great shout of joy from the entire
crowd. The boy had been found and
| was alive and well.
When he reached the road at the
west end of the corn field Edward
| had turned north which took him "a
| way from home. He Travelled north
one mile and then had turned east on
| the section line. He Travelled east for
| two miles and then turned north
| again, landing at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Chas- Tawney early in the
morning while they We're doing their
milking When asked why he hap
pened to be out 50 early Edward said
| he had gone out after the cows for
his father and had gotten lost He
did not talk much but semed bright
and not to have suffered mentally or
physically. Later in the day he told
his parents that he had slept in the
weeds by the side of the road; that he
| did not feel afraid but thought he
would come out all right but did not
| know where he was
Mr. and Mrs Blake1y endured the
| trying ordeal very braveIy. They
have requested The World to convey
their sincerest thanks to the many
friends who assisted in the search
1t IS with pleasure that we convex
these thanks and in turn assure then
that their friends rejoice with then
over the happy ending of so serious E
Situa ton.

THE TREGONIAN WILL BE
SUSPENDED II

A business tranaction which was
about as much of surprise to the
owners of The World as to those who
have heard about it took place last
Saturday when a deal was made with
W. H. Wright for the purchase of the
printing outfit, subscription list and
good will of the WaKeeney Tregonian
by Shaw & Bingham, publishers of
The Western Kansas World. A little
preliminary dickering had been in
dulged in week or two ago but with
no definite results, but call for get
ting down to business Saturday re-
suited in a closed deal. We do not
deem it advisable to continue the two
papers in WaKeeney, hence, the Tre-
gonian will be suspended with the is
sue published last week. Those sub
scribers whose subscription to the
Tregonian had not expired will be
credited for the same amount on The
World list and those who were in ar
rears on the Tregonian are requested
to call and settle their accounts at
this office. Statements will be sent
out. We hope the accounts can all be
settled at once, without any trouble
or misunderstanding.
Many of the business men of Wa
Keeney have felt that two news
papers were two many in this city and
while we have agreed with them we
have felt that Competition is the life
of trade" and have hesitated to do
any thing which would put the oppo-
sition out of business but the time
came when it semed necessary to act
and did so. The World managers
now practically control the news
paper business of Trego County but
at the same time we do not intend
to take undue advantage of the situa-
ton. Every citizen and every cause
OF news item will be given proper con-
sideration with due respect to the
good of the community and we ask
the hearty cooperation of the citizens
of this county in helping US boost for
Trego County and publish a news
paper which will be credit to the
! county and city.
