Paul Richard Schwope died at the home of his father, August Schwope, in Wathena, Thursday morning, January 17, 1901. His death came very suddenly and unexpectedly, and was the result of hart failure and congestion of the lungs. The deceased has been a cripple since he was 18 years of age as a result of an injury to the spine caused by falling from a horse. He was born in Doniphan County, March 2, 1870, and has lived in this vicinity all of his life, where he had many friends. He was a member of the German M.E. Church, and was a conscientious Christian young man. Funeral services were held in the G.M.E. church Friday, conducted by Rev. F.H. Schultz, and the remains were buried in Bellemont Cemetery, followed by a large concourse of friends, who sympathize deeply with the bereaved family in their affliction.
