OBITUARY
R.C. MALLORY DIES OF HEART AILMENT
Rollin C. Mallory, 72, resident of Red Oak since 1919, passed away Thursday, Dec. 9, at Murphy Memorial hospital. He suffered from a heart ailment and had not been well for some time, although his last critical illness was of short duration.
Funeral services were held Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Perryman chapel with Rev. Chas. F. Kemp, pastor of the Christian church, of which Mr. Mallory was a member, in charge. Pallbearers were Russell Rogers, Lew Dilley, W.R. Sever, Harry Eller, Ben Cooper and Harry Petty. Organ selections were played by Mrs. Dale Petty. Mrs. Tora Peck and Mrs. Chas. Luppold cared for the flowers. Burial was in the Evergreen cemetery.
Rollin Mallory was born August 23, 1871, at Marengo, Ill., the son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Mallory. He was married May 14, 1901 in Council Bluffs to Ina Isabelle Yerty, who preceded him in death on November 10, 1932, in Red Oak. He is survived by three children, Mrs. Gladys Douglas of Port Blakely, Wash., Mrs. Mary Wright, Russell, Ia., and Russell Mallory, serving with the armed forces in Alaska. There are six grandchildren. Also surviving are two sisters and a brother as follows: Mrs. Mayme Albert, Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. Jeanette Hicks, Primghar, Ia., and Harry Mallory, Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. Mallory's love of people and enjoyment of various activities led him to decide early in life to get into the newspaper game, a profession which he followed for more than 50 years. He was reared in Wilber, Neb., and learned the printing trade there.
Following is a story which appeared in The Sun several years ago concerning Mr. Mallory and his decision to become a printer, and a friend who became a barber:
"Mallory and McElroy were buddies in the little Bohemian settlement of Wilber, Neb., and entered the 'teen age together. They were in the habit of running footraces for tips of "drummers" loafing at the town hotel. At the age of 14, they ran a footrace for larger stakes, after being tipped off that an employee had quit his job at John Wren's democratic newspaper, "The Opposition". Mallory won the race to the newspaper office and was rewarded by being appointed to the newspaper vacancy at the amazing salary of $1.25 weekly, cash every Saturday night. The next morning McElroy began learning the barber trade in the same town. Both of them "stuck to their lasts".
"Mr. Mallory stayed with The Opposition for several years, with steady promotions. The second year his salary was almost doubled when he was raised to $2.25 weekly. The third year he made four dollars a week and by the fifth year of his employment he was earning top printer's wages of nine dollars weekly. Board and room was three-fifty a week.
"After leaving Wilber, Mr. Mallory held positions in Lincoln and Spalding, Neb., Maxwell and Algona, Ia., before coming to Red Oak in 1919 as a printer for the Thos. D. Murphy Co. He remained in the Murphy composing room until 1928, when he was hired by The Express, where he worked as a compositor and news reporter until his retirement Sept. 1, 1938.
