"The Westmoreland Recorder", July 17th, 1913
'G.T. VANDUSEN PASSES AWAY'
"George T. VanDusen died at his home in Westmoreland at 5 p.m. Monday July 14th. He had been seriously sick of kidney trouble for some months and for several weeks his death at any time would not have been unexpected.
George T. VanDusen was born in Dansville,N.Y., August 21st, 1836, and was therefore at the time of his death 77 years, 10months and 23 days old. Mr. VanDusen grew to manhood in his native state. He was united in marriage to Sarah J. Tibbetts in Dansville, October 30, 1859. To this union were born two children, Frank C. of McGill, Nevada, and Mrs. M.V. Ingraham of Nampa, Idaho. He moved from New York to Wisconsin and later to Iowa. He then came to Kansas in the fall of 1866, and settled in Pottwatomie county where he has since resided. His wife preceded him to the Better Land on January 12th, 1875. Later he was married to Mrs. Rebecca Cook Stewart whose son Charles Edward, was adopted by him and whose death occurred in November, 1903. To this union were born John M., and Teal G. of Frankfort and Earl C. of Westmoreland. Mr. VanDusen leaves surviving him his bereaved widow and five children. All of whom were at his bedside when he died. He also leaves seven grandchildren and one grandchild. Mr. VanDusen was converted at the age of thirty years and joined the Methodist church. He always lived a consistent Christian life. His church and its welfare always seemed to be uppermost in his mind. Of late years his hearing has been bad and one of his greatest trials was that he could not hear very well at the preaching service at his church. His faith in God and the bible seemed to be unbounded. He always talked about future life and the matters pertaining to his faith in God with as much certainty as he did his earthly experiences.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E.C. Moore, assisted by Rev. H.S. Bower, at the Methodist church at 2 p.m. yesterday, Interment was in the Jenkins cemetery.
