He came to Sheridan County when 2 years of age. His boyhood was spent in the Bow Creek neighborhood and his schooling in the rural schools of Sheridan County. John was married to Mary Alice Rombeck Feb 1, 1915 at Beattie, Kans. They resided at Winfield, Kansas eight years where John owned and operated a hardware store, later coming to western Kansas where he lived on his father's place where John took up farming and he and his good wife endured the hardships of pioneer days. But regardless of the depression, drouths and dust storm he never lost faith with the possibilities of western Kansas. To this union were born eight children, 7 boys and 1 girl. Six of the boys were in World War II and one served in the Korean War, all fighting for the defense of our country, ideals, homes and honor, and it is gratifying to know all returned safely. During John's illness of many years his faithful wife and two sons, Clarence and Merle of the home were always at his bedside administering to his wants and comfort, but in spite of all that human kindness and medical skill could offer they were obliged to yield to the inevitable for it was "God's will not ours", "Thy will be done." John was a loyal husband, a devoted father, a true friend and neighbor always kind and obliging, His appreciation of friends was manifested down through the years. One of his characteristics was his love for his grandchildren. He enjoyed entering in their fun and pleasure. He had a great love for his family and deemed no sacrifice to great if it would benefit and bring comfort to them. All the children show the craftsmanship of a good father and mother. John loved sports - such as hunting and ball games. In his youth he could be classed as one of the best players in western Kansas. He possesed a sense of humor and was always "A Jolly Good Fellow." The community has lost a good friend, a noble character and an honest man. He leaves to mourn his passing his good wife and two sons of the home, Clarence and Merle, one daughter, Mrs. David Schlingloff of Hill City, and sons, Frank of Stratford, Conn., Harold and Howard of Hoxie, Duane of Studley, and Maurice of Colby; also one sister Mrs. Frank Watkins of Topeka; 15 grandchildren and one step-grandchild; 2 great grandchildren and 5 daughters-in-law and one son-in-law and a host of friends. Sunshine passes, shadows fall, Love remembrance outlasts all; And though the years be many or few They are filled with memories loved one of you. As he awaited the final rites in the Mickey Funeral Home, the room was filled with a profusion of beautiful floral offerings which bore evidence of the love and esteem in which John was held. The Rostary was recited for him at the Mickey Funeral Home at 8 o'clock Sunday evening, July 5, and Requiem High Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father John E. Walsh on Monday, July 6 at the St. Frances Church in Hoxie. The church was filled with long time friends and neighbors who came to pay last tribute to this good man.
