∼OBITUARY OF DEAN RORABAUGH
Dean RORABAUGH, age 63, and Sam MOUNTS, age 40, farmers of the Gray community, were killed November 05, at Liberal, Kansas when a fast Rock Island passenger train crashed into their pickup at a grade crossing near the Liberal stockyards. The fatal crash was at 3:00 p.m. RORABAUGH was killed instantly. MOUNTS died a few hours later at 6:15 p.m. in a Liberal hospital. The two men had taken a load of hogs to the Liberal sale ring and were starting home after disposing of the hogs. The car, which was dragged for 75 yards by the train, was owned by RORABAUGH. Mrs. RORABAUGH and Mrs. MOUNTS had driven to Liberal in another car and were shopping when they heard of the tragic accident. The remains of both men were brought to Perryton by ambulances from the Wilson Funeral Home, who were in charge of the Funeral Services.
Double Funeral Services were conducted in Perryton Sunday afternoon, 1:30 o'clock, at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Ralph A. Durham, pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle, officiated at the Services, with W. C. Bryan assisting.
Vocal selections for the Service were by a double quartet composed of Mrs. Debs Riley, Mrs. Bernard Leslie, Mrs. Carl Ellis, Mrs. A. F. Shaff, Irvin R. Buchanan, Robert Lawrence, A. K. Wooten and Virgil Castle, accompanied by Mrs. D. R. Gaither at the piano.
The remains of Mr. MOUNTS were interred in the Ochiltree Cemetery. Mr. RORABAUGH was buried in the Ochiltree Cemetery.
Clay Dean RORABAUGH, son of John and Mary RORABAUGH, was born October 04, 1879 near Dean Station, Iowa. He was 63 years, one month and one day of age at the time of his death.
When just a lad, he moved with his mother to Perry, Oklahoma. In March, 1905, he forged on to the west and filed on a homestead southeast of Gray. Here he lived for a number of years before he sold and bought the place on which he lived when the end came.
Dean RORABAUGH was married to Miss Alma JACOBSON, January 27, 1914 at Ochiltree, Texas. He was foster father to two nieces, Mrs. Clara STUBBLEFIELD and Mrs. Waneta ALBRIGHT, whom he loved as if they were his own children. Two other nieces, Miss Mary JACOBSON and Mrs. Mildred PAYNE, lived in the RORABAUGH home during much of their childhood.
He was a kind and loving husband and a lover of children. He had no children of his own, yet he bestowed a fatherly love on his nieces. He was a good neighbor and never too busy to help a friend in need. He was active in the civic affairs of his community and a man with many friends.
He was converted and baptized in the Christian faith several years ago, and only two days before his death, renewed his faith in God.
Left to mourn his sudden death are his devoted wife and two foster daughters; four brothers: J. W. and N. S. RORABAUGH, Waterfield, California; M. H. RORARBAUGH, Weir, Kansas; N. A. RORABAUGH, Drumright, Oklahoma; one sister: Mrs. E. J. CARROLL, Drumright, Oklahoma, and a host of nieces and nephews and friends.
Pallbearers were Lonnie BULL, Carl JAMISON, R. E. GRIFFITH, J. C. PRICE, J. N. HARRIS and C. F. TREGELLAS. Flower girls were Mrs. Frank LEATHERMAN, Mrs. J. W. MILLER, Mrs. ORLIN BELL, Miss Anna Bell McCARTER, Miss Marjory BOWLES and Mrs. Aldon BELL.
