Rogers Democrat

CONNELL, M.S. - M.S. Connell died Sunday noon at the home of Reverend J.G. Bailey in this city. Funeral services were held at the Congregational church Tuesday afternoon being conducted by Reverend M.E. Alling. The Masonic order had charge of the arrangements. Death was the result of heart trouble with which he had been afflicted several years. He entered the hospital at Springfield during the winter but the nature of his trouble prevented an operation and the doctors gave him no hope. So he came with Mrs. Connell to Rogers several weeks ago and has been rapidly sinking ever since. Mr. Connell was forty-three years old and was born at Leavenworth, Kansas. Most of his life was spent in hotel work in various parts of the west and he was with the Paxton Hotel at Omaha for a number of years. Three years ago he came to Rogers as manager of the Harvey dining hall and was one of the most popular men the company has ever had here. A little over a year ago he gave up his work and the winter was spent on his homestead east of Rogers. But the heavy work encouraged his heart trouble and in the spring he went to Hornbeck. La. Later he went back to the Harvey people at Antlers, I.T. and was there until entering the hospital. Mr. Connell leaves a wife and one son, Stanley, who is studying in the Springfield hospital to become a trained nurse. He came down Monday night to attend the funeral. Mother and son have the sympathy of their many Rogers friends.
