Gonzales Funeral services will be held from Wall-Diffenderfer Mortuary at 2 p.m. Saturday for the Rev. John B. Gonzales who died at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at his home 1631 Randolph. The Rev. Mr. Gonzales for nearly 20 years was superintendent of the Kansas Congregational-Christian conference. He was born September 9, 1870, at Butler Center, Ia., and grew to manhood in that state. He attended Grinnell college from 1899 to 1902. He spent 1904 in the Hartford school of religious education. He was ordained to the Congregational ministry in June, 1896, and was married in 1895 to Miss Pearl E. Parsons of Allison, Ia. Miss Gonzales died in 1935. He held important pastorates in Marion, Ia.; Jennings, Ia., and Dallas. From 1908 to 1911, he was superintendent of the Congregational Home Missionary Society of Louisiana, Arkansas and Iowa. He was active in Christian Endeavor work for young people in Texas and Kansas. In 1920, he was called to the superintendency of the Congregational conference, and served in that capacity until 1939, when he became superintendent emeritus. A year before his retirement he was married to Mrs. Catherine Rector who joined him in three years of missionary work at Thorsby, Ala. In 1942, they returned to Kansas. At this time, he became pastor of the Federated Church at Dover, making their home in Topeka, but due to ill health he gave up this work early in 1946. He had been a member of the Central Congregational church for nearly 30 years.
