FRANK DeVILBISS OBITUARY
Dr. Frank DeVilbiss was born in Ohio, Sept. 12, 1859 and died
at Clyde, Kansas,
Dec. 20, 1920. Thirty-five years ago he commenced the practice of medicine
at Spring
Garden, where he remained until 1906 when he removed to Eugene.
There he continued
his practice and also owned shares in the Eugene Mercantile Co. Later
he moved to
Tipton,Mo., to get better educational advantages for his children.
After several years he
went to Clyde, Kansas and continued his practice until on Dec. 13 he
was taken sick with
pneumonia. In 1904 he was elected Senator and ably represented his
district in the state
legislature for four years. During his sickness everything that loving
hands could do, was
done for him, but after one week he was called to his home above. His
remains were
brought to Eugen, his funeral preached there by Rev. J. H. Browning,
followed by
tributes to his memory by Ray Allee, of Kansas City, and others and
he was then laid to
rest in the cemetery at Spring Garden. The high esteem in which he
was held was attested
by the large number of floral offerings sent.
He is survived by his wife, two sons, Edgar, of Kansas City,
Mo., Wyeth, of
Reading, Pa., three daughters, Mrs. Garland and Mrs. Abernathy of Oklahoma,
and
Mildred, of the home and one brother, all of whom with the exception
of his brother
accompanied his remains to Eugene. lIn the passing of Dr. DeVilbus
we have lost one of
"God's Noblemen." He was a successful doctor showing a person interest
in his patients
and give to each one his best attention. His Christian life was always
an example to all
who came in contact with him, for he was ever ready to do his share
in the work of his
church and among his fellow men. He will be greatly missed in the family
circle, where
he was loving and kind and always ready to council and advise.

JAMES B. LUCKENBILL
Well Known Citizen After Long Illness Yields His Life To Heart
Leakage. Son of
Judge Israel Luckenbill
Mrs. Hemmans, the poet, expressed Death nicely when she
declared; "Leaqves
have their times to fall." All leaves do not hang on the tree
equal lengths of time--some
falling soon, some late--but each leaf falls when its vital tenacity
is consumed. This
consumation is called Death. James B. Luckenbill, our old friend
of many years, died at
the age of 67 years, 5 months and 29 days because his vital forces
had been consumed.
He fell off because there was nothing more to hold him.
James B. Luckenbill was the son of the Judge Israel and
Phoebe Luckenbill, the
former having been born in Pennsylvania the latter in Indiana. The
family came to
Missouri about Civil War Times and have since lived about ten miles
northeast of
Versailles.
James Luckenbill was born November '4, 1859 and died May 23,
1927. He
married Sudie I Taylor, March 10, 1886. One child a daughter,
now Mrs. W. J. Coy, who
resides in Topeka, Kansas was born to this union. His wife departed
this life several years
ago and on April 10, 1919, he was married to Clara M. Poehlman.
Besides his wife and daughter he leaves one sister, Mrs. Ollie
Gabriel, and two
grandchildren, J. W. Coy and Lydia Mae Coy and several other relatives
and many
friends. Having lived in the county nearly 68 years he went about doing
good and making
friends. A loving husband, a fatherly father, a kind and generous neighbor
and friend. His
life was not lived in vain.
Heart leakage was the direct cause of his death. He had been
in poor health for
several months but had not been confined to his bed all of the time.
When the final
summons came Monday after- noon he was sitting in a porch swing immediately
after
dinner and was smoking his pipe. The call was sudden and unexpected.
The funeral
services were conducted at the Hopewell church at 2o'clock. Wednesday
afternoon and
interment was in the cemetery at that place.
