Ex-Chief David Geboe Dead
Chetopa Kansas: David Geboe, living ten miles south east of 
this city, died Friday, and was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery 
Sunday.  Mr. Geboe was, for many years, chief of the Miami 
Nation, and at the time of his death was second chief.  He 
was an industrious,honest, upright christian man and was 
about 68 years old.  He had been married twice, but has only 
one child living.  He was taken with the grippe which assumed 
the form of pneumonia.
The present chief of the Miamis, T.F. Richardville, who is a 
Baptist minister preached his funeral sermon at his late 
residence and the Odd Fellows of Melrose and Chetopa assisted
at his burial service, the latter lodge conducting the 
 ritualistic ceremony over his grave.  The deceased had a fine
residence on his well improved farm in the Miami Nation.  Those 
who have known the old chief all these years have nothing but
good things to say about him.
