| 2101 | The following is a “eulogy” that Annabelle had originally written as her “wishes” at the time of her death and the family modified. Again, Warren read this and Tommy’s “eulogy” at Annabelle’s and Tommy’s funeral services: My family, we are gathered here today to say a few words in memory of Annabelle Hyrup Leonard, mother of six (6) children - Joanna Lee, Michael Chris, Vicki Lynn, Warren Ray, Thomas Hyrup, and Roxi Claire. Michael passed away before Annabelle and of course, Tommy died alongside with Mom, and it was her hope to be with both of them. Annabelle also has eight (8) grandchildren and 5 ¾ great-grandchildren. Her one sister, Patricia Yale, survives her also. Her two (2) brothers, father, mother, and grandmother preceded her in death. Annabelle did not want a long service! She did, however, pick out this beautiful chapel that we are in today. Annabelle wished to be cremated and buried at Evergreen Cemetery beside her son, Michael. She requested that these four (4) short Bible verses be read - Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3 - Verses 1 through 4. A Time for Everything To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to sow and a time to reap. A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance. Annabelle was never a regular church member, but her children were raised honorably. She was a good wife, a good mother, and a good neighbor. She always maintained that her family would be left with lots of good memories. She wanted her family to know and understand that she had had all the good things in life and her time came as it does to all of us. We offer sympathy to each other and hope that you will find the strength to accept this loss and carry on as Annabelle would want you to - always remembering, but knowing it must always be this way. I will now say a few words about our brother, Thomas Hyrup Leonard. Tom was Annabelle’s fifth child and was born in La Junta, Colorado, on January 13, 1955. He was raised on the family farm and ranch in Karval, Colorado, until the age of 14. Tom graduated from Buena Vista High School in May 1974, but he regularly attended the Karval homecoming events. Although he was limited in his athletic abilities, he had a strong passion for sports. Tom would smile and brag about each win of the Miami Dolphins, but would agonize over each loss. Every year he would follow the play of the Buena Vista High School Demons basketball team, especially when they played their league rivals, the Leadville Panthers who were coached by his friend Rick . Tom had the same temper and stubbornness that all his siblings have. This trait was evident throughout his life in the jobs he had and the interactions with us all. Tom always held on to what he believed, even when it was contrary to what his family thought, and he always thought Mom was over-protective. Tom was living with Mom at Georgetown Square. We found this poem, which Mom had clipped out of the newspaper that is fitting of their relationship: Me and Her She is compulsive, I am impulsive. She likes it hot, I like it cold. She is neat, I am a slob. I push, She pulls. She says “Up”, I say “Down”. She is day, I am night. Living together is hard. Living without her would be impossible. We believe that when the chips were down, and Tom knew where the incident was heading, he fought the perpetrators to the best of his ability to defend his mother at the time of their deaths, and it is only fitting that he be laid to rest next to his Mom, and brother Mike, here at Evergreen Cemetery. WE LOVE THEM ALL AND WILL MISS THEM FOREVER | Hyrup, Annabelle Claire (I3605)

| 2102 | The Goodland Star-News / Tuesday, July 22, 2003, Page 7 There are some upcoming events that we want to remind you of, and I want to mention that I didn?t announce the Thompson reunion, last week, due to the death of Marjorie's son, Dennis Thompson. But, as Marge says, he would have wanted the plans to go on, so there will be a Thompson reunion, in Brewster, on August 1, 2 and 3. The meeting place will be the home of Marjorie Westover, 669 Illinois Ave., in Brewster, phone (785)694-2837. This reunion is for descendants of Chauncey Gridley Thompson. If you are included in this family, I am sure you know all the details. Marge tried to explain to me how the family tree grew, but with a maiden name like Smith, I get tangled up in the branches. Anyway, it sounds like a fun weekend for all the relatives from the special gathering at 10 a.m. on Aug. 2 until the last family story is shared. I will send the particulars to the newspapers later this week to be sure to plan to attend this reunion. | Thompson, Chauncy Gridley (I28)

| 2111 | Thelma Nicholas' notes show the last name spelling as Rocholdt, but this is not correct. Notes with tombstone are: COX Mary J. May 30, 1925 Age 87y, 4d, Same stone with John W. B. Cox, Dau of Loy & Jane Rockhold, Born in Carroll Co., MO. Obit: Mrs. Mary J. Cox, A Well Known Old Resident, is dead By Obie Davenport Mrs. Mary Jane Cox, an old and highly respected lady of the north part of the county, died Saturday at her home. The funeral was held Sunday at the family home and was conducted by Rev. W E Kauffman, assisted by Rev. Tye and Rev. Houston. Interment was in the Laughlin cemetery. Mary Jane Rockhold, daughter of Loyd and Jane Rockhold was born in Carroll County, Mo., May 26, 1837. She was one of a family of eleven children, all of whom preceded her in death except her brother, Richard L Rockhold and another brother in California. She moved to Mercer County with her parents, when a child. She was married to the Reverand Burton Cox, Oct 23, 1856 and through their long wedded life she was an exemplar companion, kind, loving, faithful and self-sacrificing. To this union nine children were born. Jarret M, Mrs. Nancy A Thompson, Brewster, Kans., Miss Ellen deceased; Mrs Madora Hampton, Lineville; Thomas W Cox, Lineville; L ****** *** **** Tipton B and *** ****** ***** **** **** ****** ** *** ***** ****** ******* ****** ***** ***** ***** *** ** ******* **** ** the same motherly kindness and gentle she reared a large number of homeless and orphan children. The hospitality of the Cox home was shared and enjoyed by the entire community for many years. And it has been quite often said that no one was permitted to the leave the Cox home at meal time without breaking bread with this fine old family. Since her husbands death she had lived with her devoted sons, Jarret and Porter in the old home. Her daughter had offered her the comforts of her home but she preferred to remain under the old roof until the end. The children were ever ready to make any sacrifice for their dear old mother's comfort and pleasure. The relatives assembled to celebrate her birthday May 26, and although she was bedfast at the time she greatly enjoyed the occasion very much and was glad they all came home to spend the day. She was reared by devoted Christian parents was early in life became a member of the Christian church. Later she with her husband, who preached the gospel for more than a quarter century, united with the Baptist church in 1871. She departed this vale of tears to dwell for ever with the pure and Holy. She had for several days been happy singing "I'm Going Home to Die No More." The morning of her death she prayed that the Savior might come and take her home. And, with her passing there comes to our minds this phrase from the Inspired word. "Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful, over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of the Lord." | Rockhold, Mary Jane (I617)

| 2122 | This is a letter I received from Roberts widow in November 2008: From: Bonnie Ann Turney Martin This was a letter I had written to a lady who was trying to find her Mother's lost Brother, Robert Lee Havens!! I believe this was my husband's father,his Mother of course being Margaret Brockman Turney. The email came back...undeliverable. It has been 4 years ago she posted this.Her name was Judy Ferryman. I have pictures of the Turney family. My name is Ann[Turney /Havens] Martin, This is a long convoluted story. My first husband's name was Robert Lee Turney but he had a copy of his original birth certificate, his last name was Havens,his Mother had scratched it out and written Turney.Flem Turney was married to Margaret[Bob's Mother] My husband knew nothing about all this till he needed his B.C. to get his driver's license.At this time she told him his Dad had been in the Air Force and had been killed in WW11. Bob was born in Denver, CO. in 1942. He and I thought, they probably weren't married. She told him, Flem Turney had adopted him,but there was no paperwork ,that he ever saw.My Bob was also in the Air Force,he left in Dec.1962 for a year in Osan S. Korea, he died there in Dec. 1963, 2 weeks before he was to come home. We had been married less than 2 years. He was 21 and I was 18. He had written to tell me, as soon as he got home, he was going to push his Mother for the whole story,but he never got the chance.You and he might have been first cousins, who knows. His parents are dead .I'm almost 64 now,but I still think of him often. Sincerely, Bonnie Ann Martin PS. Margaret had black hair and olive skin, Bob had blond hair,fair skin and blue eyes.

| 2145 | Tombstone reads "JWB Cox died Apr. 24 1899 aged 73y 4m 5d". Also found notes stating John W B Cox was born in Kentucky. He was licensed to preach in 1873 and ordained into the Baptist Church in 1875. Obit: Obituary J.W.B. Cox was born December 19th, 1826, and departed this life April 24 at 6 o'clock, 1899, aged 73 years, 4 month and 6 days. He was born in the state of Tennessee, and at the age of 11 years moved to Jackson Co., MO with his father and mother and seven brothers and sisters, he being the seventh. James the oldes, Jarret T. Mary Ann, Hugh P., Elisabeth Jane, Sarah C., Margaret E. and J.W.B. Cox are the names of the family of Wilson and Susannah Cox and they have all passed away except Margaret, who is only waiting for her lord to call her home. At the age of 17 J.W.B. Cox moved to Mercer Co., where he made his home until God called him away. He joined the Baptist Church in the year of 1871, was licensed to preach the gospel in 1873 and was ordained about 1875. He was married to Mary Jane Rockhold in the year of 1856. He has left his companion 4 boys and 3 girls and 15 grandchildren. Two of his children had gone on before to a better land, one in infancy and the other, Elizabeth J. Brown, who has preceeded him about 5 months, and died so happy in Jesus and having her friends stand around her bed and her **ther hold her Bible open so she could look on its sacred pages to the last. But how soon does a generation pass away? J.W.B. Cox was loved by all. He was a minister of the Gospel in word and deed. No one ever came to him for aid but what he would help them. He was a Good Samaritan to all, his house was open to receive the orphans and he was a father to them all. How sadly he will be missed by al and especially at home when they gather around the dear old family altar at night, oh, then, how he will be missed! Yet his works will follow him for how can we ever forget who have heard his kind exhortations and warnings and prayers. His sufferings were very great during his illness of nine days but he shouted and praised God all day the day he took sick. He said from the first day of his sickness that he would not get well and he has gone to his erernal rest. The funeral sermon was preached by J.R.Nordyke and J.D.Houston from Job 14:1 to a large concourse of people. Weary toiler thy work all done And they soul into glory gone, Eternal life with its crown now won, God giveth the rest. Rest from all sorrows and watching and fears, Rest from all possible sighing and tears, Rest through God's endless wonderful years, At home with the blest. | Cox, Minister John Willis Burton (I616)
