To this union were born: Kathrine Lucilie & Margaret Ellen. McKissack, Ralph Waldo (Note: This obituary is from a copy of the original and the top was not copied. Date of death according to Riffe Cemetery index is 4 February 1928) The announcement last Saturday morning of the death of Ralph McKissack, which occurred in St. Joseph hospital following a brief illness came as a shock to his friends in this community. The high esteem in which he was held here and in Dearborn, where he was superintendent of schools, was evidenced by the large number of friends attending his funeral Sunday afternoon. Below is an obituary read by the pastor of Rock Fall church, of which he was a member. Ralph Waldo McKissack, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Mose McKissack, was born near Orrick, May 19, 1890. He united with Rock Falls church in August 1911, under the ministry of Rev. C. F. D. Arnold and in this faith he lived an earnest consistent Christian life. He graduated from Orrick High School at the age of 19, taught three successful terms in grade schools, and attended William Jewell College one year. He was married to Miss Ona Pearl Clark August 12, 1914, and to this union two children were born, Kathryn Lucile and Margaret Ellen: these with the father and mother, two brothers and two sisters are left to mourn his loss. He was principal in Orrick three and one half years. He then entered William Jewell College where he taught and studied three years and then graduated with honors. In 1924 he moved to Dearborn where he was superintendent of the school until his death. Two weeks ago he was taken ill with influenza which was followed by pharangitis which quickly developed into meningitis. Everything was done that could be done, but with no success. On February 4, at 3:15 a. m. death came as a relief to the sufferer and a shock to the community. The esteem in which he was held was shown by the dozens who came to the home to offer their assistance in time of sorrow. Life is real, life is earnest. And the grave is not its goal, Dust thou art, to dust returneth, Was not spoken of the soul. The body was brought to his old home Saturday evening and funeral services were held at Rock Falls church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 conducted by Rev. Henry, pastor of Dearbron church and interment was made at Riffe cemetery Donnie Ruyle, 2nd Cousin, once removed of Ralph McKissack
