Obituary from The South Kansas Tribune dated Wednesday, February 15, 1899: "Mr. John Alexander Sevier, the venerable father of Mrs. E. W. Stout and W. N. Sevier, of this city, died at the home of his son Thomas Sevier, southwest of this city on Sunday night. Mr. Sevier was born in Virginia, on Christmas, 1819. On December 20th, 1842, he was united
in marriage to Margaret Gorden (sic), who now in her 76th year, with seven daughters and three sons, survive him. He united with the Presbyterian church in his youth, and has ever
held to that faith. In 1864 he moved to Illinois, and in 1876 removed his family to Kansas, locating in Rutland township. He was intelligent, energetic and public spirited, and never
shirked his duty in defending temperance or Christianity. Until three years ago, he was vigorous and active, but a severe case of grip broke his constitution, and since then, he has been quite feeble. Funeral on Monday, conducted by Rev. C. H. Jones, and interment in Mt. Hope Cemetery."
