He was the eldest of seven children. On Monday, July 21, 1947, as he was returning from Beeler, with repair parts for his combine, the car he was driving collided with a sand truck near the North Star schoolhouse. Fred Leroy never regained consciousness and life ebbed out at the Ransom hospital as he was being made ready for the journey to a Hays hospital. His age was 31 years, 3 months, 20 days. He completed the first eight grades in a country school and then attended the Ransom Rural High School from which he was graduated in 1934. Following graduation Fred Leroy helped his father in his farming and ammunition business, carrying on with his mother and brother, Earl, for a year or more following his father’s accidental death on June 7, 1935. On June 15, 1936, he was united in marriage to Miss Helen Hamit, in the Methodist parsonage at Ransom. Three children have blessed this union: David Leroy, now 9 years of age, Michael Bradford, and Frieda Lynne nearly 6 months of age. The young couple continued on the farm awhile, and after moving to Ransom went to work in Lamar, Mo. From Lamar they moved to Kansas City where Fred Leroy worked as a carpenter and also for the Western Auto Supply. They then returned to Ransom where the deceased engaged in farming and general machinery repair with his brother, Earl. Fred Leroy was of a very cheerful disposition, and a willing worker, and enjoyed a wide circle of friends. He was converted as a youth in high school. At the age of 12 years Fred Leroy was received into the membership of the Ransom Methodist Church. And during the last several years he had shown an increasing interest in the work of the church. The deceased was preceded in death by his father and by a brother, Vernon, who died in infancy. Left to mourn his departure are his devoted wife, Helen; three children, David Leroy, Michael Bradford, and Frieda Lynne; his mother, Mrs. David O. Amstutz; three sisters, Hazel Amstutz of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Fern Crossland of Hays, and Mrs. Fayne Sneddon of Marshall, Mo.; three nephews and one niece; and many other relatives and a large number of friends. Funeral services were conducted from the First Methodist Church in Ransom at 2:00 o’clock, Wednesday afternoon, July 23, 1947, with the pastor, Rev. Samuel Paulding, officiating. A double quartet composed of Miss Rosanne Willour, Mrs. Clyde Willour, Mrs. Orville Klitzke, Mrs. Samuel Paulding, Clifford Anderson, Jess Dieffenbach, Charles Shellenberger and Clinton Scherzinger sang gospel hymns, “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere” and “The Sweet By and By.” Mrs. Samuel Paulding sang the solo, “God Understands”. Pall bearers were six cousins: Phil Neyer, Fred Neyer, Willard Horchem, Dave Ummel, Thomas Harkness and Vance Harkness. Ness Co. News, July 31, 1947
