Howard Ernest Reed (Uncle Howie), 74, of Belleville, Kansas passed away on March 6th, 2022, at the Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas.

Howard Ernest Reed was born to Howard and Ina May (Fraley) Reed of Belleville on October 2, 1947, in Hebron, Nebraska.

He began his education at Spring Hill country school and later moved to the Belleville school system.

After high school, in 1967 he attended the North Central Kansas Vocational School in Beloit, Kansas. While studying agriculture, he also enlisted in the Army National Guard. His unit was moved to Ft. Carson, Colorado.

 In 1968, he married his sweetheart, Beth A. Erickson, of Scandia, Kansas on September 1st and lived in Colorado Springs until he was deployed in March of 1969 to Vietnam and served there until September of that year.

After returning from Vietnam, he farmed with his father, uncle and cousins for several years. Howard then purchased three trucks and opened his own trucking business. He became an over-the-road owner-operator, and in 1989 he was named the Number 1 Owner-Operator of the Year while working for Smithway Motor Xpress, Inc. &nbsp;

For family reasons, he ventured home to help manage the Kravmore 81 Truck Stop, which was owned by his parents.&nbsp; In 1993, he &nbsp;began working as a driver/salesman for C. A. Picard in Belleville, which was later named Haarslev International. He retired from Haarslev in 2021. Shortly thereafter he bought a carwash in Belleville, naming it Howie’s Car Wash.

Howard was an avid horseshoe pitcher for many years, winning numerous trophies and tournaments.&nbsp; He served as vice-president, then president of the Kansas Horseshoe Pitchers Association.&nbsp; He, along with others, started the Republic County Ringer Horseshoe Club in Belleville. In 2020, he became a member of the North Central Kansas Pool League, serving as vice-president and actively promoting the sport.&nbsp; He participated in both sports with enthusiasm and passion.

Howard cared passionately about keeping the family together and would hold an annual weiner roast for family and friends.&nbsp; He also loved flowers and spent many hours working outdoors to keep the home place looking beautiful.&nbsp;

Howard is a life time resident of Republic County and a member of the United Methodist Church in Chester, Nebraska.

He was predeceased by his parents Howard and Ina May Reed.

Howard is survived by his wife Beth of Belleville; daughter Amy Upshaw (Lentz) of Manhattan; son Howard G. Reed II (Traci) of Belleville; and daughter Jami Miller (Justin) of Salina, and Daniel Morley (Dawn) of Belleville; sisters Lorlei Lindblad (Lindy) of Beloit; Ramona Earley (Marvin) of Sun City, Arizona; Nancy Ray of Lincoln, Nebraska; and Jane Jeardoe of Belleville.

Eunice Carolyn Pryor was born July 31, 1932, in rural Elmo, Kansas, the daughter of William and Clara (Reiff) Barten and departed this life March 4, 2022, in Abilene, Kansas. 

She grew up in the Elmo area, attended Morley School District 48l and graduated DCCHS with the class of 1950. Following graduation she attended Brown Mackie School of Business in Salina, Kansas.

On August 3, 1952, she was united in marriage with Wayne Pryor at the New Basel Evangelical and Reformed Church, Elmo. They lived and farmed south of Abilene until moving to town in the spring of 2001. 

Outside the home, Eunice worked full-time as a secretary in the law offices of Romine, Lehman and Guilfoyle. After retiring as a legal secretary, she began working part-time for Brown Memorial Foundation.

Eunice and Wayne were blessed with five children, Douglas, Janet, Thaine, Patti and Ronald. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and caregiver, and dearly loved by her family.

Survivors include her children Doug Pryor (Charlotte) of Abilene, Kansas, Janet Chamberlin (Kenny) of Abilene, Kansas, Thaine Pryor (Kristie) of Overbrook, Kansas, Patti Zielke (Jim) of Weddington, North Carolina, and Ron Pryor (Samantha Kenner) of Abilene, Kansas; grandchildren, Suzann Pryor, Kyle Chamberlin, Alexis Michel (RJ), Brooke Hiatt (Chris), Cassie Bugner (Thomas), Jordan Nelsen (Brent), Drew Zielke, Caroline Zielke, Dallas Pryor, Kiersten Hamit (Brenden), Wyatt Pryor and Misrachael Bush; great-grandchildren, Emmy Gfeller, Brayden, Blaine, Blake and Brody Michel, Caroline and Mabel Hiatt, Reagan Bugner, Elliana, Amelia and Annalise Nelsen, Bryson and Emmaline Hamit; and numerous nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, her parents, brother and sister-in-law Lowell and June Barten, and sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Evelyn and Larry Shetter.

Throughout her years on the farm, she enjoyed spending time in her large vegetable garden, harvesting and canning or freezing the produce to provide for her family year around. She could often be found stemming beans or shelling peas while watching one of her children’s baseball or softball games. She also enjoyed playing the piano and organ, sewing, cake decorating, and playing board games with family and pinochle with friends. She loved attending her children's and grandchildren’s school activities, concerts and athletic events. 

Although limited, Eunice enjoyed traveling. One highlight was a trip to Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Austria in 2006 with her daughters and a grandson. Another was celebrating her 80th birthday in Branson, Missouri, with her family.

Eunice was a lifelong member of New Basel Church, serving in several positions on church council, as well as leading senior youth group and helping with HIS Club. Throughout her life, she loved music, singing in the church choir, and directing the adult and youth choirs. She also enjoyed singing with the Abilene Sweet Adelines for many years.

 She was an active member of the Dickinson County Republican Women, a charter member of the Republican National Committee and a charter member of the Eisenhower Legacy Society. Eunice truly had a servant’s heart, serving as a 4-H leader for the Newbern Wideawakes 4-H Club and volunteering with the Dickinson County Historical Society, Memorial Health System Volunteer Corps, and Dickinson County Hospice. She was a regular donor at the American Red Cross.

Visitation with family will be Friday, March 11, 2022, from 5-7 p.m. at Martin Becker Carlson Funeral Home. The memorial service will be Saturday, March 12, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. at New Basel Church. Interment will be in New Basel Cemetery immediately following the service. 

Memorial donations may be made to New Basel Church or the Irish Foundation, c/o Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW Third St., Abilene, KS 67410.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Leon Jay Coup was born June 20, 1934, in Hope, Kansas the son of Jesse James and Edith Pearl (Morehouse) Coup. 

He attended Hope schools graduating from Hope High School in 1952. He received his bachelor’s degree from Kansas State University and a degree from the Graduate School of Banking in Wisconsin. 

On October 8, 1966, he was united in marriage to Karen Ingrid Schuenemann in Hope. Leon worked for Boeing Aircraft and later was the co-owner of the First National Bank and the Coup Insurance Agency in Hope and Herington. He was a lifetime active member of the Hope United Methodist Church, the Hope Lions Club for 62 years, served on the boards of the Hope Community/Education Endowment Association, Hope Community Historical Association, Dickinson County Historical Association, Herington Lutheran Home, USD 481 School Board, and Dickinson County Crime Stoppers. Leon served several terms in Hope as mayor and as a city council member, served as a volunteer firefighter for 50 years, and delivered Meals on Wheels for many years. He was instrumental in establishing the Hope Community Historical Museum, the Hope First National Bank Annex and Community Building, and the Hope Community Education Endowment Association. This is not a comprehensive list of all the contributions Leon made to Hope, his community. He was never one to broadcast his work, but everyone who knew him will agree he selflessly dedicated his life to his community and the people in it. He is survived by two children, son Gary Coup (wife Amy) and daughter Kristie Coup both of Herington, Kansas, three grandchildren, Carina Coup (wife Patricia) of New Mexico, Makayla Coup and Brett Coup, both of Manhattan, brother Dan Coup (wife Pat) of Hope, sister Ardys Eaton of North Carolina, nine nieces and nephews, and several great-nieces and great-nephews.
