Edward Grant Hartronft

Dad died June 29, 1967 while we were on vacation to Neosho from Warrensberg. His funeral was held in Neosho and then we went to Lyons for the internment. About 5 priest friends of his came to Lyons for the burial, and after the graveside service, as everyone was leaving, they went to their cars and got out shovels and they personally buried Ed. My aunt Joanie (Gayle's sister) wrote a poem about it. Elsie (Ed's mom) died June 29, 1970, exactly three years later.
