Page County Democrat-June 2, 1921
The funeral of Dick Rope Sr., was held at the North Lutheran church Thursday and was largely attended. The pall bearers were mostly from Yorktown where Mr. Rope made his home, all men being from the Yorktown St. Paul's church. The eight men carrying the casket were John and Henry Huseman, J. H. Herzberg, Will Buesing, Louis Goecker, Henry Harms, AlbertWellhausen and Henry Nothwehr.
Mr. Rope passed away at the home of his son John. According to the physician the body laid twelve hours after death before it was discovered that he had passed away. The daughter in law had looked in and thought he was asleep. This was about eight o'clock. She went again at ten and finding that he had apparently not moved she became alarmed and found that he had passed away. He had eaten a hearty supper the night before and had joked as was his habit.
