I. Hempy Dead.
Isaac Hempy died at the University Hospital in Kansas city last Thursday morning, at about 3 o'clock. He had been operated on the previous evening and a cancerous growth removed from the bladder. He had been very sick for a week and his two sons Tom and Wilbur, and a daughter, Mrs. May Stone had been here with him. It seemed impossible to give him relief here so it was finally decided by the family to take him to the hospital and have the operation performed.
Isaac Hempy was born in Ohio Sept. 25th, 1831 and was married in 1856 to Anne E. Smart who still survives him. They came to Kansas in 1860, settling on the farm just east of LeRoy where they livged up to a few years ago, when they gave up active farm work and moved to LeRoy.
Four children survive. They are Maggie L. Haines, Thos. J. Hempy, Wilburd J. Hempy and Mrs. May Stone. The two sons with their wives and the daugthters and their husbands were here to attend the funeral which was held on Friday afternoon from the Methodist church, Rev. Maclean officiating.Mr. Hempy had been a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows for fifty two years, and was one of the few members in LeRoy who have the veterans jewel. He was also a member of the Methodist church which he had joined at the age of twenty-one years.Mr. Hempy had been a sufferer from poor health for a number of years. Often he would be on the street with his pain-racked body almost bent double, and yet for every one he had a word of hope and good cheer and could always muster up a cheerful smile. His familiar face will be missed. His cheery smile will be seen no more. His hearty "Good morning" will never be spoken again, for the lips which framed to words lie silent in the city of the dead.It is with heartfelt appreciation we wish to extend thanks to friends for their many tokens of kindness during the illness and death of our husband and father.
