OBITUARY


Fred Curran Everhart, son of Silas and Jennie Everhart, was born in Paola, Kansas, April 14, 1883. In 1886 he came with his parents to Ness County.

On January 12, 1916, he was united in marriage with Cora Hoover of Kensington, Kansas. They resided near Ransom a short time, later moving to Danby Valley, southwest of Brownell. To this union were born six children, two dying in infancy. In 1946 they moved to Ness City. He departed this life at his home November 26, 1952, at the age of 69 years, 7 months and 12 days. The end came suddenly as a result of heart failure.

In early manhood he was converted and became a member of the Ransom Methodist Church, where he was active until he moved to Ness City. The last two years of his life he attended regularly the local Church of the Nazarene where his son, Floyd, was pastor. He was interested in the church and always gave liberally, being especially generous in contributions for building funds of several new churches. In the last few years he rededicated his life, drawing closer to God, enjoying to a greater extent the preaching of God’s word, prayer and testimony. Every Sunday found him in his accustomed place in the church.

He leaves to mourn his death: His devoted wife; four children, Milton of Brownell, Ruby Squier of Brownell, Marion of Big Springs, Texas, and Floyd of WaKeeney; seven brothers, Con of Stettler, Canada, Lee of Fort Scott, Herman of Granada, Colo., Henry of Phillips, Texas, Will and Clarence of Ransom, and Clayton of Arnold; four sisters, Jennie Warnow of Salina, Lula McMichael of Pueblo, Colo., Cora Rider of Ness City, and Maude Brown of Brownell. He was preceded in death by his mother, father, and brother, Roy. There are nine grandchildren, many other relatives and friends.

He served some 20 years as chairman on Danby and Brownell telephone boards. He gave unselfishly of his time for the advancement of schools and roads in the community. As a farmer and neighbor he was known for his dealings and stood staunch in his belief where honesty and integrity were concerned. His passing marks the end of a line of early pioneering with many hardships and few conveniences.

In his last few years he is to be remembered for his love for the soil, delighting in planting and harvesting, and his love for flowers. He had a deep loyal affection for his family, and especially enjoyed his grandchildren.

Funeral services were held from the Fitzgerald funeral home on Saturday, November 29, conducted by Rev. Russell McCollom. Music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Winter and the Musbach quartet. Nieces were flower girls and nephews were pall-bearers. Interment was made in the Ransom Cemetery.
