Frakes-Hester Obituary Collection A-E

Kinmundy Historical Society

Obituary collection for the Kinmundy-Alma area

(Most of these are from 2000-2018, but there are a few from previous years too.)

From the Archives of Stephen Frakes

and Jim Hester & Mary Cessna

Surnames F thru J

Thanks to Stephen Frakes for sharing his collection of obituaries from his work with area cemeteries thru the years.

A lot of these have been typed up by Stephen, and he has also shared many photos from the obituaries as well.

Also thanks to Jim Hester & Mary Cessna, who shared their collection of obituaries they cut from newspapers and saved in photo albums.

These have been scanned so that they can be shared on this website as well.

We have combined the two collections on these pages, and divided them into 5 sections, so that they can be more easily located.

A thru E K thru N O thru S T thru Z

We are looking for photos of people and/or places from around Kinmundy & Alma. Can you help?

Or maybe you have stories or memories from the "Good Old Days"? What do YOU remember?

The Kinmundy Historical Society would be honored to preserve your memories and stories. We also have the

equipment to scan (or copy) your photos so that they may be enjoyed now as well as for generations yet to come!

We would love to hear from you! For more information, please contact:

Laura Jean (Green) Garrett

(22 August 1924 - 20 April 2015)

Laura GREEN GARRETT stepped peacefully and joyously into heaven on April 20, 2015 at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, Texas. Laura was born on August 22, 1924 in Foster Township, Illinois to Bill GREEN and Grace (FEATHER) GREEN. Laura grew up in the farm country near Kinmundy and graduated from Kinmundy High School in 1942. After high school, she attended Brown's Business College in Centralia, Illinois where she expanded her math skills to become an excellent bookkeeper. She went to work at the Borah Ford Dealership in Olney, Illinois until she met the love of her life, Emmett GARRETT upon his return from WWII. They married on New Year's Eve, 1949 at the Christian Church in Kinmundy, Illinois and began their home in Kansas where they started their family with the birth of daughter, Carla Jean in 1951. From Kansas, they moved to Midland and then Oklahoma where they had a 2nd daughter, Denise Ann in 1957. In 1959, the family finally put down roots to raise their daughters in Odessa, Texas and never moved again. After the girls graduated, Laura enjoyed working at Berryhill's Children's Shop for many years as their bookkeeper. After Emmett retired, they loved to travel and frequently went with various friends and groups on many memorable trips. They enjoyed many travels with the West Texas Airstream unit for over 15 years and naturally, Laura became treasurer of their Airstream club. They especially loved traveling with Laura's brother and sister-in-law Lyle and Fran GREEN from Washington State.

Laura's first love was her family. Emmett and Laura were happily married for 63 years and raised their family in Odessa in a stable, loving home that encouraged personal growth and applauded accomplishment. She loved being a homemaker and always welcomed her daughters' friends into their home. Laura and Emmett set a standard in their home for their daughters of always doing your personal best, both at school and at work. Having been a child of the depression, Laura would not waste a thing and made sure that her family used every dollar efficiently. Values of ethical behavior, integrity and honesty were held as the standard in their home. Laura was the consummate Grandma as grandchildren began arriving and enjoyed watching them all thrive on fun times shared during family reunions and trips to the Arkansas vacation home and Illinois where she loved to return to the family's farm country and visit relatives. Her family rejoiced in gathering in Odessa in August, 2015 to celebrate her 90th birthday. Laura has been described by friends as loving, selfless, cheerleader, encourager, party-planner, always attentive to the needs of others and a Christian role-model. Laura was a member of Bethany Christian Church in Odessa, the Odessa Country Club, Kinmundy Eastern Star member for over 50 years and former member of many bridge clubs. She was an active booster in any endeavor or organization her daughters were involved with. If there were parent sponsors needed for school trips or fund-raising drives, Emmett and Laura were at the forefront. Laura was treasurer of the Band Booster Club for several years. The tables of her home and her daughter's home would be adorned with rose bouquets that were grown in Emmett's garden. She loved fresh flowers and delighted in watching them bloom.

Laura was preceded in death by her parents, brothers, Lyle GREEN of Seattle, Washington, and Carl GREEN of Kinmundy, IL. Laura is survived by daughters Carla and son-in-law Dan PACK of Southlake, Texas; Denise and son-in-law Richard KELLY of Odessa; brother and sister-in-law Burl and Virginia GREEN of Tuscola, Illinois; sister Louise CHEATUM of Kinmundy, Illinois; sister-in-law Donna BEARD of Alma, Illinois; granddaughters Angela Pack ORTIZ and husband Noel of Fayetteville, Arkansas; Kristie PACK GRAHAM and husband Jason of Mt.

While he was at college he took flying lessons. He loved to fly. While at "The Poly" he met his wife of 70 years, Frances HADDEY. They were married January 23, 1943.

Lyle joined the Air Force March 14, 1943. He was part of the "Transport Division". He flew all over the world ferrying airplanes, troops, and equipment to where it was needed to support the war effort. One of his favorite planes to fly was the B17. He also spent a lot of time flying a C47. He was honorably discharged February 5, 1946 as a 1st Lieutenant. He was awarded 2 Bronze Stars and a World War II Victory Medal. He later joined the Air Force Reserves and retired as a Major in August of 1963.

He was the father of 2 children, Raymond and Myrna. He had learned the printing trade while in college. In 1950 he moved his family to Seattle, WA. There he began a life long career in the printing business. Even though he and his family were in Seattle, he always came back "home" to Kinmundy. Every other year he and the family would take an extended vacation to return to Kinmundy for family reunions. He was involved with his kids in all their activities; ie cub scouts, boy scouts, girl scouts, etc. He loved to bowl and play golf. He also had a passion for camping with the family. They made lots of trips to the coast to go clam digging and enjoy the surf. In 1961, Lyle and Frances purchased Falls printing in Snoqualmie, WA. They became publishers for the weekly Snoqualmie Valley Records. In 1972 they moved back to Seattle where he owned and operated Consolidated Press until his retirement in 1984.

When Frances retired in 1985 they started living the American dream, going on the road full time in their RV. In 1991 they sold their house in Seattle and bought a brand new truck and 32ft fifth wheel trailer. They loved the new lifestyle so much, they kept on going for the next 20 years. They made many, many new friends and visited lots of relatives along the way, while seeing more of the country than most people dream of. They finally settled back down in Moutlake Terrace, WA before moving to Everett, WA in 2011. Lyle first love was family. His love and dedication to Frances, their children, grandchildren, and their many friends was amazing.

Lyle is survived by his children, Ray GREEN (Mary) and Myrna FRINK (Dennis), three grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and one great-great grandson. He is also survived by his brother, Burl GREEN (Virginia), his sisters Laura GARRETT and Louise CHEATUM, and numerous nieces and nephews, too many to list.

God has not promised

Skies always blue,

Flower-strewn pathways

All our lives through:

God had not promised

Sun without rain,

Joy without sorrow,

Pleasure without pain.

But God hath promised

Strength for the day

Rest for the labor,

Light for the way:

Grace for the trials

Help from above,

Unfailing sympathy

Undying love.

We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for all the sympathy and kindness during the loss of our loved one. We wish to thank each and every one for the beautiful flowers, cards, comforting words and the food that was brought in. Your kindness will never be forgotten. May God bless you all.

Blanche (Cornell) Jasper (19 Nov. 1902 - 14 March 1997)

Kenneth Leroy Jasper

(6 September 1932 - 21 February 2015)

Kenneth Leroy JASPER, age 82, of Three Rivers, passed away on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015 at the Borgess Medical Center following a brief illness. He was born on Sept. 6, 1932 in Kinmundy, IL., the son of the late Chris and Blanche (CORNELL) JASPER.

Ken grew up and attended schools in Kinmundy, graduating in 1951. He worked as a meat cutter until moving to the Three Rivers area in 1966 where he began work with General Telephone as a janitor, later working up to storekeeper. By the time he retired in 1994 it had become Verizon. He married Esther JONES in 1951 and they had a son Ken Jr. and a daughter Tina. They later divorced. On Sept. 6, 1975 he was united in marriage to Karen (LAWRENCE) JASPER who survives.

Ken was a faithful member of the Corey Church of the Nazarene. He was well known as a “fix-it” guy, who was constantly tinkering and fixing things all around him. His father owned a shoe repair shop but also did other repair work during Ken’s childhood where Ken spent many hours watching and learning from him how to fix things. He learned early to be frugal and did not like to waste anything. His first love was family, but Ken also enjoyed traveling with his wife, camping in northern Michigan, always hunting those illusive mushrooms with several friends of the same passion. Ken never met a stranger. He just genuinely liked people and could meet a person and know their life history in the first half hour of chatting with them. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Ken was a hard worker and was never without a job. After moving to Michigan he worked at Pryor Heating, and as a meat cutter at various places including Buy Low Market, and Broadway Market.

In his youth he loved roller skating and anything dealing with wheels and engines. He liked car races, and made a go-cart for his son and a track in their back yard for him to run it on. Later in Michigan he loved motorcycle riding or four wheeling up in northern Michigan as well as going to Silver Lake to ride the dunes. He taught several of his grandsons how to ride motorcycles. Later in life he became more interested in antique garden tractors and had started working on one to ride and show at the fair and possibly other shows. He liked nothing better than to spend time with his family and he was very proud of them. He could be depended upon to always help anyone who asked, especially neighbors and folks in church. He enjoyed square dancing and playing cards with friends. He loved children and drove church bus for years taking children to and from church and VBS. They also loved him. For many years he has done much maintenance work for the church including many hours mowing the acres of grass and maintaining the softball diamond. He helped to finish the Family Life Center at Corey and had previously helped build the Assembly of God Church on Buckhorn Road when they had attended there. He was a bit of an inventor, having out of necessity invented a corn cob holder which attached to a drill to make cutting corn off the cob a much quicker and easier job. He was very proud of that.

Mr. JASPER was preceded in death by his parents, one daughter Tina JASPER, one brother, Charles JASPER, and one sister Shirley SMITH.

He leaves to cherish his loving memory, wife of 39 years, Karen JASPER, of Three Rivers; one son, Kenneth JASPER Jr., of Bellville, IL.; six grandchildren, Andrew, Jeffrey, & Justin JASPER, Shawn KING, Christine BARNEY, and Scott BARNEY; one great-granddaughter, Kaitlynn JASPER, many nieces and nephews and his first wife and close friend, Esther “Leota” FUREY.

Services Details: The family will receive friends from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. on Friday, February 27th, 2015 at the Hohner Funeral Home.

Funeral Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28th, 2015 at the Corey Church of the Nazarene with Pastor Gary Carr officiating.

Interment will be held at Constantine Cemetery. Place of Death Kalamazoo, Michigan.
