Obituary
Like his father before him, full of years and crowned with honors, Nicholas H. Starry went to his home, "A home not made with hands," April 19, 1914, aged 71 years, 4 months and 13 days. His father, Nicholas Starry, died in this county in August, 1879. The Starrys, Nicholas, Sr., George and Nicholas Jr., come to this county at an early day, George Starry being the first to arrive. They brought means with them from Illinois and set about at once to make homes and improve the country. All were workers of high character, who raised large families and did well their part as pioneers.
Nicholas H. Starry was born in Warren, Indiana, November 5th, 1842; was married to Miss Sarah Jane Bonebrake in Watseka, Illinois, September 6, 1866. In 1871 they came to Kansas, and settled on the farm, that since that time has been the Starry homestead, west of Louisburg. Of the six sons and daughters born to them, five are living; Leona is at home; Doctor Clark N. Starry resided at Coffeyville, Kansas Beverly C. Starry is a business man of Louisburg;
Mrs. Alta E. Ring lives on a farm in Wea township, and Effie is at home. Maude, the wife of Isaac Wise, died in January, 1912. The five children living were at his bedside through his last sickness and at his death. A sister, Mrs. Hannah Smith lives at Onargo, Illinois. Besides these, he leaves a large relationship of nephews, nieces and grandchildren.
Mr. Starry was a soldier in Company E. , 86th Indiana Volunteers. He served from 1862 until the close of the war. Both himself and his wife joined the Christian church over forty years ago, and ever after were exemplary members. The good wife died September 7th 1907. Mr. and Mrs. N.H. Starry were charter members of the Louisburg church, and Mr. Starry was the last survivor of the thirteen charter members.
The burial on Wednesday, April 22nd, 1914, was attended by the whole country of the Starry settlement. Reverend Sparks, of Harrisonville, conducted the services in the Christian church at Louisburg, and interment was in the village cemetery, west of the town.
Mr. Starry earned his good name. His building, his planning and his services were mainly for others. Honesty was the corner stone upon which he reared the structure of his early career. He gave liberally to the church, but he gave more to the poor. He spoke well of his neighbors and paid every loan of kindness, of service, or of property.
In his last years, whitened with the run of winter, he looked the patriarch that he really was. He fought the good fight, he finished his course and he kept the faith.
