A FEW CHANGES OF 25 YEARS
What a Quarter of a Century Has Brought About in Comanche-co.
Article No. 5.

Some of the changes which a quarter of a century have brought about in Comanche-co. have already been pointed out in these articles. The rapid growth of the towns and the country, also the coming of new improvements along all lines, have been mentioned, but in no particular have the changes of 25 years been more marked than in the population - the people who have been, and still are, the real factors in the county's history. During these 25 years many of the pioneer settlers in the county, the men and women who helped to build the towns and improve the farms, have passed away, and, in many cases their work is being carried on by their children or by others who were quite young when the county was settled 39 years ago, or who have been born since then. It may be of interest to give a list of the pioneers who have died during the quarter of a century ending July 31, 1923. The list given includes only those who lived in the county prior to 1898, and is as follows:
...
1911.
Mrs. Jos. Guizlo, January 30.
...
1919.
...
Joseph Guizlo, November 8.

Death

Obituary

Mary Elizabeth Manning was born in Mortion, Taxwell County, Illinois, November 8, 1872, died at Wichita, Kansas, January 30, 1911 aged 38 years, 2 months, and 22 days. With her parents she came to Kansas in1884, locating at this place, where, in 1889, she was married to Joseph Guizlo, then foreman of the Santa Fe at this place. The family lived here up to three years ago, when they moved to Coldwater Kansas.
Mrs. Guizlo in her last illness was sick only a few days. She was taken to St. Francis hospital on Saturday and died on Monday evening. Her mother, Mrs. Manning, was summoned on Monday evening, to her side, but arrived too late to see her daughter in life. The remains were brought to Reading on Tuesday and burial in the Catholic cemetery Thursday.
The large concourse of friends and neighbors present to pay their last tribute of respect to one so well known to them in life, was a sufficient evidence of the high esteem in which she was held by our people. The sympathy of the community is extended the sorrowing husband, the two motherless children, her brothers and sisters and the aged mother, in the loss of a loved one, whose loving soul has answered the call of Him who doeth all things well.
