"Uncle Joe" Dennis and wife are known and beloved of everyone in this section. Theirs has been an ideal companionship, in which each has been mutually helpful to the other, sharing to the full extent the trials and toils as well as the joys and compensation of a long married life. No one knew them but to admire their simple honesty, charity and neighborly good will. In the long years of pioneer days of northeastern Kansas, theirs was one of the most hospitable homes, and the death of Mrs. Dennis will bring to hundreds a pang of regret and real mourning, even though she went to her long years crowned by years of usefulness and upright Christian living. Mrs. Mary Ann Dennis, wife of J. W. Dennis, was born in Adair County, Ky., in 1826, and died at her home one mile south of Seneca, April 18th, 1908, aged 81 years, 6 months, and 15 days. Early in life Mary Ann Young removed with her family to De Witt Co., Illinois, where she met and married Joseph Dennis, July 8th, 1847. Ten children were born to this couple, of whom Mrs. Dennis is survived by only three: Campbell W., and Philip Dennis, and Mrs. Amanda Gillaspie. She is also survived by 20 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. Four children died in infancy and three others, Mrs. Howard Chilson, Mrs. Sarah Luckey, and Mrs. Mary Highsmith passed away leaving families. In 1856, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis came to Kansas, together with Batson Dennis, the father of Joseph W. Dennis, and the four other sons and settled on the farm where they have ever since resided. This land was gotten by them from the government and the only conveyance ever made of it was when it passed from the government to Mr. Dennis. Fifty-nine years ago Mrs. Dennis became a member of the Baptist Church, and was faithful to the doctrines to the hour of her death. This grand old lady was indeed an exemplary wife to the companion left behind and her loss will be almost unbearable. The place of her death was their home before the city of Seneca was platted; to her nearly all the residents of Seneca were new-comers. During the many changes which have taken place in their surroundings they have lived on in the even tenor of their way, living the straight-forward, simple, honest and kindly lives that have earned for them the affection of all who knew them. Last July the sixtieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis was celebrated by a reunion of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren at the Dennis home, the memory of which day will be all the more sacred now that the crowning jewel of the gathering has gone to her reward. Her funeral was held at the home and interment made in the Dennis Cemetery. Rev. J. H. Rings, of Lincoln, Nebraska, preached the funeral sermon. The sorrowing family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement, especially the husband to whom for over sixty years she has been such a devoted wife.
