West, Vera
Miss Vera West, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walt West of Emporia, died at the home of her uncle, Dr, W. J. Hatfield, in Reading, Kansas, early Tuesday morning. Miss West had been ill with pneumonia, her 'death coming quickly after she came down with the disease.
Vera was born in this city Feb. 14, 1908.
Her father, Walt West, and
her uncle, Chas. West, for many
years operated a lumber yard here
and later the hardware store in the
building now occupied by the Craig
Drummond grocery. Miss Vera attended
the Cottonwood Falls city school,
going from this city to Emporia
with her parents twelve years
ago. She graduated from the Emporia
high school and was a student in the
Teachers College for two years
where she was a member of the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority. Vera was also a member of the Sacred Heart Church of Emporia.
She is survived by her parents, and a sister andbrother Miss Doris West and Ashael West who live with their parents in Emporia.
The funeral services were held at 10:00 o'clock Wednesday morning at the Sacred Heart Church in Emporia. Rev. Father Prosper, pastor of the church, conducted the service.
Interment was in the Sacred Heart Cemetery in
Emporia.
Vera West was a girl loved by all.
She had for two years been a school
teacher and her success in her chosen
work had been unusual. She will be
remembered by most of' her friends here as a little girl as she was about 11 years of age at the time her family moved
from this city to Emporia.
The suddenness of her death is a sad shock to her parents and relatives as well as to her many friends here.
