The people of this city and community were saddened last Saturday evening, when the news was reported that Plimpton K. NEWELL had passed away at 7 o'clock at his home south of town. He had been in poor health for several years, but was able to be up and around most of the time. For several weeks, he has been growing weaker and death was due to chronic myocarditis with fatty degeneration of the heart.
Plimpton Kelly NEWELL was born in Pulaski county, Kentucky, July 5,1866 and died at Stafford, Kansas, January 5, 1920; age 53 years, 5 months and 29 days.
In June 1884 he came to Stafford county, Kansas with his parents, being 18 years of age and he has made his home here ever since that time. He was married November 6, 1889 to Miss Mary MORFORD and to this union seven children were born, five boys and two girls, who are as follows: Clare, Rawleigh, Harry and Ralph NEWELL, who are at home, Mrs. Laura McFADDEN of Mullinsville, Kansas, Glen NEWELL of Towanda, Kansas and Mrs. Stella HARGETT of Stafford.
He was converted and joined the M. E. church at Eureka in the spring of 1890, when Dr. G. W. Akers was pastor. He has been a faithful member ever since and ways always interested in the welfare of the church and everything that was for the good of the church and the community. He was a loving husband and father, a good citizen and a splendid neighbor and was one who was ever thoughtful of the comforts of those around him.
Beside his devoted wife and children, he leaves his mother, Mrs. R. R. NEWELL, four brothers, and four sisters, Hardin NEWELL, P. A. NEWELL, Malvin NEWELL, Brent NEWELL, Mrs. Minnie MINKS, Mrs. Ollie IRVINE, Mrs. Martha DAVIS, all of Stafford, and Mrs. Mada RUNDELL of Pierceville, Kansas, three grandchildren, other relatives and a host of friends who mourn his death.
Short funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon, after which services were held at 1:30 o'clock at the Eureka church and were conducted by Dr. G. W. Akers, an old friend of the family, assisted by Rev. S. W. Keller, pastor of the Eureka church. The many beautiful flowers told, in a way, of the esteem in which the deceased was held. His brothers and brothers-in-law, P. A. NEWELL, Hardin NEWELL, Malvin NEWELL, Ira RUNDELL, Fred DAVIS, and Arthur MINKS, were pall-bearers. Interment was made in the Stafford cemetery.
The Courier joins the host of friends in extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved relatives in their hour of sorrow.

OBITUARY:
Mrs. Clare Newell
Zona Priscilla Reese was born May 8, 1894 near Little River, Kans. She passed away on Nov. 28, 1943 at Feldhut Hospital in Stafford, Kans., at the age of 49 years 6 months and 23 days.
Her parents, Emma and John Reese had migrated in the early days from Pennsylvania. In her early childhood the family moved to Pratt county, four and one-half miles northeast of Pratt. Here Zona grew to young womanhood, and graduated from Pratt high school. Later she attended Normal there and also Teachers College at Emporia. She taught two years in Antrim schools and finished her career as a teacher at the Eureka school in the spring of 1920.
Zona was united in marriage to Everett Clare Newell on Oct. 27, 1920 at Pratt, Kans. To this happy union five children were born, Beth Kathleen, Lois Maxine, Calvin Clare, Dean Lee, and Wayne Everett.
In this good Christian home these children have been patiently and lovingly taught the right ways of living.
Zona professed her faith in Christ, her Lord, at an early age, and joined the Christian church at Pratt, where she remained a faithful member, until she joined her husband in the Eureka Methodist church at the time of her marriage. She has enjoyed working in the Sunday School and in different departments of the church and in the community.
She loved flowers. It was a hobby with her to grow and share them with others.
About four years ago her health began to fail, which caused her to be missing from her accustomed place at times. During several months she has been cared for lovingly by all her family. All that skill and love could do has been finished, and the Heavenly Father, who doeth all things well, called her gently away to a better land, in the evening of Nov. 28.
We love to think of her happy disposition, her kind consideration for others, her sweet and ready smile, her good hospitality.
She leaves to mourn her passing, her husband Clare, and five children, also four sisters, Mrs. Clara Cochran, Wichita; Mrs. Fannie Bigwood, Pratt; Mrs. Sadie Armstrong, Pratt; Mrs. Abbie Sherrell, Wichita, her stepmother Mrs. Emma Reese, Allentown, Pa., and two brothers, Eli Reese, Pratt, and Milton C. Reese, Modesto, Calif., and a host of friends and relatives.
The funeral was held in the Eureka Methodist church Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 2:30 p.m. Rev. J. Ralph Watkins, pastor of the church, delivered the sermon. Peacock & Soice were in charge. Interment was in the Stafford cemetery.
