ROY IRVIN DRIVER
Roy Irvin Driver, son of Benjamin F. and Barbara Loganbill Driver was born June 15, 1893, near Versailles, Mo., and passed away July 2, 1960, at Ottawa, Kansas, at age 67. His early years were spent on his parents' farm near Versailles. He spent his high school years in Goshen, Indiana, where he went to an academy in connection with the Mennonite College there.
He came from a line of Mennonite preachers, his grandfather, Daniel Driver, being one of the first Mennonite ministers in the state of Missouri coming originally from Virginia.
During WW I, he spent 14 months in the United States Army, serving with the medical corps in Ft. Riley, Kansas.
After the war was over and he was discharged, he worked with his brother-in-law, Amos Raymer on his farm near Ottawa, Kansas. It was during this association that he met and married his wife, Hannah E. Windett. They were united in marriage on January 12, 1921. To this union were born nine children.
He was very active in Church and community affairs, serving on both the school and church boards many years. He was a member of the Quenemo Federated Church.
He was preceded in death by a son, William, who was killed while serving with the armed forces during World War II.
He is survived by his widow; two daughters, Mrs. Robert Friesen, of Topeka; Mrs. Bruce Rogers, Quenemo; six sons, James, of Pomona; John, Atlanta, Georgia; Donald, Topeka; Joe, Quenemo; Richard, and Howard of the home; one brother, Lloyd, Hubbard, Ore.; three sisters, Mrs. Amos Raymer, Jerome, Idaho; Mrs. Edwin Swartzendruber, Manson, Iowa; and Mrs. Dan Raber, Goshen, Indiana; eleven grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; two uncles; one aunt; and a wealth of friends.
The family wishes to consider all the men of the Federated Church of Quenemo, with whom Roy has worked, studied, and prayed, honorary pall bearers. They also join in thanking, so gratefully, all who had done so many acts of kindness during the illness and passing of their loved one.
Funeral services were held at the Quenemo Federated Church, Tuesday, July 5, 2 p.m., with Rev. Jerry Howard officiating. The singers were Mr. And Mrs. Wallace Collins, Mrs. Carl Nelson, Mr. Warren Streit, accompanied by Mrs. Roger Comstock. The casket bearers were Tom Fine, Jack Wilson, Gordon Bolen, Ralph Johnson, Norvin Spencer and Lawrence Stadel. Burial in Oak Hill Cemetery. Shaffer Mortuary in charge of arrangements.
