Effie Blossom FEES, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simeon FEES, was born near Holton, Kansas, February 15, 1900 and died at Bethany hospital, Kansas City, Kansas, October 27, 1923, aged 23 years, 8 months and 12 days. Effie spent her girlhood days in this vicinity, was educated in the Birmingham schools and because of her winsomeness and beautiful character was always a favorite in the circles in which she moved.
On October 5, 1922, she was married to Floyd McGEHE, later moving to Kansas City, where they spent their short, but unusually happy married life.
Suddenly, uneffectedly, when apparently in the best of health the summons came and this beautiful life was called back to God who gave it. She leaves, heartbroken and bereft, her stricken husband and parents and sister, Florence, besides a number of relatives and a wide circle of friends.
Funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev. F.E. Munneke. Music was furnished by a quartet, Mrs. Herbert Moyer, Miss Ellen Lowell, Zara Brown, and W.J. Glenn. The pallbearers were Ernest Hochuli, Edwin Hochuli, Merle Frazey, Frank Decker, Albert Decker, Will Pitchse.
Burial was made in the Holton cemetery.
