Harrison J. Willis
At nine o'clock yesterday morning, August 22, 1904, Harrison J. Willis, one of the oldest and best known of the pioneer citizens of Greenwood county, died at the home of his son, John Willis, in Bachelor township from old age. Mr. Willis was eighty-nine years, ten months and seventeen days old at the time of his death. He had been in ill health for several years and about two months ago took to bed and has been unable to leave it since that time. He gradually grew weaker and weaker and for a short time before his death was too feeble to move without assistance or to carry on a conversation with those about him. His mind remained clear to the last.

Harrison J. Willis was born in Hopkins county, Kentucky, October 3, 1814. When fourteen years old he moved with his parents to Illinois which was at that time a comparatively new country and Mr. Willis was trained from boyhood to the life of the pioneer, which training was of great benefit to himself and others in later life. In 1836 he married Miss Hannah Brown and after several years residence in Illinois and Indiana they came to Kansas, traveling by wagon, for railroads had not yet been laid on Kansas soil. When Mr. Willis arrived where Eureka now stands there were scarcely half a dozen houses on the townsite.

Mr. Willis took up a claim south-east of Eureka on Fall River which he sold in 1863 and moved to Bachelor Creek, filing on the homestead which has since been his home.

When Greenwood county was organized Mr. Willis was appointed a member of the first board of county commissioners. He has at other times held positions of honor in his township and county and was never known to shirk a duty or betray a trust. Mrs. Willis died in 1889 and since that time Mr. Willis has lived with his children in Bachelor township. Of the eight children born to them four survive: They are John Willis, Ezra Willis, Mrs. Edwin Tucker and Mrs. H.S. Jones, all of Greenwood county.

Funeral service was held this morning (Tuesday) at ten o'clock from the residence of John Willis, conducted by the Rev. G.F. Bradford of the Christian church of Eureka, of which church Mr. Willis has been a member for many years. The funeral was attended by a large number of the relatives and friends of the deceased who gathered to pay a last tribute of respect to the memory of an honored citizen whose good works will live after him.

Benjamin S. Jones
Died, at his residence in this county on the 7th day of April 1869, Benjamin S. Jones, in the 58th year of his age.

Mr. Jones was the son of Benjamin Jones and was raised in Cuyahoga County Ohio, not far from Cleveland. Many years since, he removed from there to Wisconsin. In the Fall of 1859 he removed thence to Greenwood County, Kansas, where he continued to reside till the time of his death.

Neighbor Jones was a devoted patriot, and his devotion to the principle of human Liberty led him, notwithstanding his age, to engage in the service of the Government in the late struggle between freedom and slavery. After two years' service, his health failing, he was honorably discharged and returned to avocations of private life. He seems never to have recovered his health after leaving the service.

Mr. Jones was an estimable citizen, a good neighbor, devoted friend, a kind and indulgent husband and father.

He leaves a wife and three sons to mourn his loss. May the Lord support them in this their hour of trial.

He was followed to the grave by a large concourse of neighbors and friends.

Gertrude Crooks
Friday afternoon, August 14, 1914, at 1:30 o'clock, occured the death of little Gertrude, age one year and ten months, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Crooks, of Quincy, Kansas.

Little Gertrude fell asleep to awake in Heaven; her stay on earth was short, but long enoough to entwine about herself the affections of her parents, little brother and sister and all who knew her. We feel that all Heaven was glad and sang at her coming and while the dear ones at home are left lonely, Heaven is made richer for her coming and she is waiting there for the coming of her loved ones. While the days are long and lonely you will recall the tender words; "And a little child shall lead them"; and "Suffer the little children to come unto me," will ring in our hearts with a gladder, truer message than ever before; and some day we will meet our little darling where sickness and death are unknown.

Little Gertrude was a bright babe and dearly loved by all who knew her. But grieve not, dear friends your loss is her eternal gain, and although a chair is vacant in the home, there is another blossom in heaven.

The funeral was held at the family home west of Quincy, conducted by the Rev. Page of Neal, Kansas. -------By a Friend

John T. Schwint
Eureka Herald
John T Schwint, eldest son of Frank and Louise Schwint was born near Lousvillle (sic), KY on November 11, 1860 and departed this life at his home in Quincy, Kansas on April 16th, 1935 at the age of 74 years, 5 months and 5 days.

At the age of 3 years, he moved with his parents to Terra Haute, IN, where he grew to young manhood.

He was united in marriage to Mary Fields on February 27th, 1881 and to this union was born 9 children. His wife died in December of 1900 and also four children preceeded him in death.

On April 19th, 1903 he was united in marriage to Nevada Smith who survives.

In the spring of 1883, Mr. Schwint like many other young men of the earlier days decided to come to Kansas and he with his wife and two babies drove in a covered wagon and settled near the old Ainsworth ranch near where the 101 school district now stands.

He like many other old settlers came to this country in the bloom of life and gave to this new country the best of his ability and energy and help to build and make and mold, into the country what it is today.

While Mr. Schwint was never blessed with much of the worldly goods yet, he always tried to be a kind neighbor, a willing worker and helper to those who needed help. The night was never to dark nor the road to long for him to go to the help of a neighbor or friend when they were in need. He moved to Quincy, Kansas in September of 1905.

In December of 1928 he was afflicted with a stroke and has never been able to enjoy life to its fullest extent since that time and yet he has been a patient sufferer, always having a kind word for those who knew him best. He never grew impatient with those who tried to make life a pleasure for him but always tried to show the greatest of appreciation for all of their kindness.

And so the grim reaper has again seen fit to close history's page for a man who had served his three score and ten years and even more and was willing and ready to meet his creator.

He was converted and united with the United Brethren church of Quincy during the winter of 1928 and has been a faithful member of this church ever since.

He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Nevada Schwint: three sons, Earl Schwint of Raymond, Washington; Ira Schwint of Burdett, Kansas and Robert Schwint of Amorita, Oklahoma and two daughters, Mrs. Bessie Karraker of Neal, Kansas, Mrs. P. M. Ditty of Virgil, Kansas. 21 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren and 3 sisters and 4 brothers and a host of friends.
