Read More	spouse of Celia Sam came to Ness County, Kansas, when he was 16 years old in April 1879...from Burnt Cabins, Pennsylvania... He became a wheat farmer... Samuel E. Dubbs, youngest son of Louis and Agnes Dubbs, was born March 15, 1863, in Fulton County, Pa., and died at his home in Ransom, April 13, 1945, less than a month after celebrating his eighty-second birthday anniversary. Mr. Dubbs was one of those pioneers who have meant so much to western Kansas. At the age of 16, he came with his parents to the newly made dugout home one mile west of the present site of Ransom. From that April day in 1879 to the morning of his death, this community has been his home. When he reached his majority, he took a homestead for himself in southern Trego County. With his own hands, he built the snug sod house to which he took his bride, Celia Maxwell, following the ceremony in the little Cyrus church on October 28, 1888. In this pioneer sody, their three children were born. The years were so hard and the crops were so scant, that Mr. Dubbs often went east to work during the harvest season. But he stayed with the west until he saw it blossom with fruitfulness. On September 18, 1887, he confessed his faith in Christ and was baptized. Through the years he has remained true to his faith and his belief has never changed. Mr. Dubbs earned the respect and love of his friends and neighbors because of his uprightness, integrity, and unswerving adherence to principle. As the shadows of his years lengthened, he was able to say, “I want to be remembered by the life I have lived.” He is survived by his devoted companion of more than 56 years whose loving care prolonged his life by months and years, and by his three children: Maurice E. of Ransom; Mrs. Alice Gravatt of Selma, Calif.; and Mrs. Mable Adkinson of Crowley, Colo.; by eight grandchildren and two great-grandsons, and by one sister, Mrs. Lillie Traver of Ransom. The funeral was held at 2:00 Tuesday, April 17, from the Methodist Church in Ransom. Rev. D.N. McAllister of LaCrosse, a personal friend of the deceased, preached the funeral sermon. Pall bearers were: Ward Scott, Bert Barber, George Shellenberger, Fred Amstutz, Clinton Scherzinger, Charles Miller. A male quartet, Jesse Dieffenbach, Rev. John Boehr, Cliff Anderson, and Charles Shellenberger sang, “The Beautiful Land”, “Going Down the Valley” and “Asleep in Jesus”, accompanied by Eleska Rufenacht. On account of traffic restrictions, Mrs. Alice Gravatt of California was unable to attend the funeral of her father. Ness Co. News, Apr. 19, 1945
