Marvin Moorhouse, 80 Years Old, Has Passed to Reward
One of the last of the four or five remaining of the early settlers who located in the eastern part of Kingman county in 1883, was called to his reward last Friday, when M. Moorhouse, 80, well known and highly-respected farmer of Vinita passed away after an illness of two weeks. M. Moorhouse was suffering with heart trouble and other complications and had been bedfast for 12 days.
Mr. Moorhouse moved with his family to Kansas, from Illinois, in 1883, and on Dec, 14th of that year settled on the farm southeast of Murdock which has ever since been the family home.
He farmed extensively, raised a fine family, and the name of Moorhouse became known throughout this section as a synonym for uprightness, and honesty, and fair dealings.
The privations and hardships of those early settlers who have since made Eastern Kingman county a veritable garden spot, were borne willingly by those brave pioneers, and Marvin Moorhouse was one of those who did his share, and more.
Marvin Moorhouse, son of Eli and Susan Moorhouse, was born at Lewistown, Fulton county, Illinois, November 15, 1859, and passed away at his home near Murdock, Kansas, at 2:30 P. M., Friday, January 2, 1931, at the age of eighty years, one month and eighteen days.
The early years of his life were spent in his boyhood home in Illinois, where he grew to manhood. On November 17, 1872, he was united in marriage to Suzanne Siever. To this union were born seven children, two of whom preceded their father in death; Harry, dying in infancy, and Alta, passing away December 13, 1910.
The living children are: Dallas and Ed Moorhouse of Cheney, Mrs Effie Beshore of near Kingman, Mrs. Fritz Kostner and Oran Moorhouse of Murdock.
He leaves to mourn his departure his wife, five children, eighteen grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and one sister Mrs. Ollie Veatch, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and a host of other relatives and friends. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the family in their hour of bereavement. Funeral services were held at the home on Sunday afternoon, January 4th, at 2:00 P. M. With Rev. Ernest D. Bartlett, pastor of the Murdock Methodist Episcopal church, officiating, and burial was made in the Vinita cemetery.
The large crowd that was present at the last sad rites showed the esteem in which Mr. Moorhouse was held, and the reputation borne by this fine family.
Friends and relatives from a distance who attended the funeral included E. L. Fink, of Medford, Okla., Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Brown and Arlie Fink, of Blackwell, Okla.; Frank Siever, John West, Mrs. I. Nichols, Mrs. Noah Siever, Chas. Siever and daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Travis Parkinson, all of Wichita; Jasper Siever and daughter, of Maize, and Mr. and Mrs, Merritt Harris and little son, of Severy, Kansas.
