C. Marple and the late A. A. Marple, was born near Cole Camp, Mo., June 9, 1891, and died at his home northwest of Kincaid, December 5th, 1918, aged 27 years, 5 months and 27 days. He came to Kansas with his parents when a child and had lived in Kincaid and vicinity all his life. He was united in marriage with Miss Emma Taylor Sept. 17, 1914, and they moved to their hime 3 1/2 miles northwest of Kincaid, at which he resided at the time of his death. To their union two little girls were born, Roberta Taylor Marple and Maxine Helen Marple. Ferd was taken ill with the influenza Nov. 24th, bronchial pneumonia developing. All was done for him that was possible, and he would say "do anything that will help for I want to get well," but all to no avail. Ferd was a good faithful husband and father in his home. He was a good neighbor and honest in his dealings. He took great interest and pride in his work, his farm and his live stock. Ferd is survived by his wife, Emma, his two sweet little girls, mother, one sister, and five brothers, to mourn his death, besides a host of other relatives and friends. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the community for their great and sad loss. Funeral services were held at the home last saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Shulenberger of Yates Center. A large number of sorrowing relatives and friends were present. At the close of the services the body was brought to the Kincaid cemetery for interment. "Gone, but not forgotten." Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in thy grave so low; Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our sorrows know, Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled, And in Heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tears are shed. __ Card of Thanks We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to our friends and neighbors during the sickness and death of our dear loving husband, father, son and brother. We also extend our thanks for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. Emma Marple, Roberta and Maxine, Mrs. S. C. Marple and Family.
