DR. FORD BURIED FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON IN HIS CHURCH IN MARYVILLE
Was Teacher in Dickinson County Ten Years and Began His Ministry at Enterprise Maryville, Mo., Sept 25. (Special)—The funeral services for the late Dr. J. S. Ford were held here at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon from the First Methodist church.
Dr. Ford who had been pastor of the First M. E. church for the last two and a half years, died during the noon hour Sunday shortly after he and his family had returned from the church services. He had delivered a sermon of unusual power, an inspired message, it seemed, to a large audience, and had greeted the people at the door, as was his custom, at the close of the services, in a very happy manner, but it was noticed by a few that the minister looked tired. Dr. Ford was subject to attacks of neuralgia and on Saturday consulted his physician, Dr. A. B. Allen.
A severe pain near the heart yielded to the treatment given him and he got up early Sunday morning and was in a very enthusiastic frame of mind about his sermon, as he had plans to propose to his people what he hoped would result in federated church movement in Maryville that would result in a forward step in every line of activity in the town.
"For the good of Maryville" was the keynote of the sermon. Before leaving for the church he told Mrs. Ford that he had enough for three sermons that morning, and it is thought that he overexerted himself, for he preached with unusual vigor. On going to his home, in the second block south of the church, Dr. Ford was suffering greatly from the pain that had suddenly commenced near his heart, and Dr. Allen was summoned from his office.
The doctor came as quick as possible and found his patient walking the floor. He saw that he was very ill, but told him not to be afraid. Dr. Ford replied: "I am not afraid, but this pain," holding his hand over his heart, "is unbearable." Dr. Allen gave a hyperdermic treatment but it was too late. Dr. Ford laid down on the lounge and died in three minutes. He did not speak after saying the the pain was unbearable and passed away so quickly and quietly that the family physician could hardly believe it was true.
Dr. Ford is survived by his wife and five children. Stanley and Wesley Ford who are in charge of the U. S. printing plant at Colon, Panama; Miss Alice Ford [with first wife Minnie Grayson who died when Alice was two], a nurse in a hospital at Enid, who arrived in the city Monday noon, and Gladys and Merle Ford, at home.
John Scott Ford was born in Grant county, Kentucky, January 27, 1857. When 9 years old he removed to Indiana with his parents and grew to manhood there. He completed a three year course at Hartsville college and located in Kansas in 1881, teaching ten years in Dickinson county and the ward schools of Abilene.
He serve two terms as county superintendent of the schools of Dickinson county receiving a majority of 605 votes for the first term and a majority of 1044 for his second term. He was licensed to preach at Abilene in 1891, and served the churches at Enterprise, White City, Sabetha, Holton, coming to Maryville from Holton two and one-half years ago.
He served the Kansas City, Kan., district as superintendent from 1903 to 1908 and was one of the most prominent ministers in the state.
