Julia Kabance Dies At 111
Julia Y. Kabance, of St. Mary’s, KS, received her last rites and died peacefully in her sleep on November 16, 2021, at the age of 111. She was the oldest living member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, a great source of pride for her. She was also the oldest known female US veteran, having served in both the Army and the Air Force.
Julia was born on August 10, 1910, on the Prairie Band Potawatomi Reservation. She was the 11th of 12 children born to Frank and Mary Kabance. She grew up helping her parents on their farm and first left home to attend Haskell Institute (now Haskell Indian Nations University). In 1943, she joined the US Army as a member of the Women’s Army Corps and served in World War II. Julia was a member of We-ta-se American Legion.
After her retirement, Julia served extensively as a volunteer for the VA and the Catholic Church, including a long tenure at the Topeka Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Her faith and volunteer work were most important to her, and she continued volunteering well past her 100th birthday.
Julia is survived by her nephews Galen and Maurice (Carolyn) Kabance and her niece-in-law Betty Kabance (LaRue). She is also survived by dozens of great, great-great, and great-great-great nieces and nephews around the country.
Requiem Mass will be at 9:00 A.M. Saturday, November 20, 2021, at Assumption Chapel. Interment will be in Holy Cross Cemetery, Emmett. A rosary will be recited at 5:20 P.M. Friday, November 19, 2021, at the church.

Published: Nov. 16, 2021 at 7:20 AM EST|Updated: 16 hours ago
SILVER LAKE, Kan. (WIBW) - One person was taken into custody Monday morning after a chase ended near Silver Lake, authorities said.
The incident began around 10 a.m. at the 24-7 gas station and convenience store near the Maple Hill exit off Interstate 70 in Wabaunsee County, about 12 miles west of Topeka.
Kansas Highway Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Candice Breshears said a trooper “contacted” an individual at the gas station.
When the trooper asked for a K9 unit to respond, Breshears said, the individual fled from the scene in a vehicle.
A pursuit ensued and went north and west from the gas station, eventually moving into the area of US-24 highway in northwestern Shawnee County.
Stop sticks were deployed near Rossville, Breshears said, and the vehicle spun out and came to rest in a cornfield near Silver Lake.
The driver was arrested without further incident.
Additional details, including the identity of the driver, weren’t immediately available.

Recap Of Rossville Sectional Win
The Rossville Dawgs (11-0) remained undefeated with a 56-14 win over the Riverton Rams (8-3), outscoring the Rams 35-8 in the second half to earn the Sectional title.
Rossville senior quarterback and safety Torrey Horak, who began to work his way back onto the field last week after suffering a shoulder injury against Silver Lake earlier this season, got more snaps in on Friday night. He took over as QB with less than 2 minutes remaining in the first half to lead a quick scoring drive and he started the second half with more impressive results showing he hasn't lost anything during his several weeks away from the gridiron.
Running Back Corey Catron had filled in for Torrey during those weeks with Torrey on the sidelines. Corey did an excellent job as a QB, but the offense performs much better when there is a double threat of Torrey and Corey.
