CALLED HOME.

Henry Rohrs Passes Away Friday Feb. 27, 1897.

Many were the deplorable exclamations of surprise and regret indulged in by the numerous friends of Henry Rohrs, when the sad news of his death, at the home of his son Henry F. Rohrs, was brought to this city on last Friday evening. The direct cause of death was a complicated attack of asthma.
Deceased was 77 years of age, and was highly respected by all who knew him. He was a loving husband, a kind and indulgent parent and generous to a fault, being always ready with purse and hand to help the poor and needy. An aged widow, a son (Henry F.) a daughter (Mrs. Wm. Buchholz) together with a host of sympathetic friends, mourn the end of a well-spent life.
The funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church in this city, by Rev. A. Myers, of Winfield, Kans., on Monday, March 1st, at 11 o’clock a.m. at the close of which, the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Blackwell cemetery. [Block 121 Lot 8 Space 3]
