Roupp, Frank G., eldest son of George F. and Anna E. (Senner) Roupp, was born Aug. 6, 1881, in Freeman, S. Dak.; departed from this life at the family home in Fall River, Kans., on May 13, 1956; aged 74 y. 9 m. 7 d.
The early part of his boyhood was spent in South Dakota. At the age of 17 he moved with the family to a farm near Hesston, Kans.
On Aug. 9, 1902, he was united in marriage to Dora W. Hess.
In his early manhood, Bro. Roupp was employed as a carpenter in the Newton and Hesston area, and later as a foreman for a Wichita Construction Company. He then launched into his own employment and became a well-known contractor and builder. Among the building to his credit were a number for the Mennonite Church: the new Bethel Clinic, the renovation of the Mennonite Weekly Review and Herald Bookstore, the Prairie View Hospital, all of Newton, and the First Mennonite Church of Christian, Moundridge, Kans. A distinct contribution to his own denomination was the building of the La Junta Mennonite Hospital and Sanitarium, La Junta, Colo.; the administration building, A. L. Hess Memorial Hall, J. D. Charles Hall of Science and Arts, and the general supervision of the Church-Chapel building, all on the Hesston College Campus. The latter building was first used for services on May 13 the day of his death.
Funeral services were held at 9:30 a. m. on May 16 in Fall River for the home community, and at 2:30 p.m. at the recently constructed Hesston College Church, with Earl Buckwalter in charge, assisted by I. R. Lind. Interment was in the Pennsylvania Church Cemetery.
