November 24, 1951 ~ March 25, 2021 (age 69)

John Dean Reynolds was born on November 24, 1951 in Belleville, Kansas, to Vernon Lee &amp; Barbara Joan (Lawson) Reynolds. John was one of four children born to Vernon &amp; Barbara. John grew up near Cuba, and graduated from Hillcrest High School. He then attended Cloud County Community College before being drafted into the U.S. Navy, from which he was honorably discharged in 1970.

As a young man, John learned to work hard and to take on responsibility. He was in the tank service business, and was proud to say he was a 3rd generation with Pitt Des Moines, Inc. John built&nbsp;many water towers in the United States. Since 1981, he worked internationally, constructing LNG tanks, and oil and gas containment vessels.

John was a strong, proud and good man, and he is loved and will be missed by many. He loved to be with family and friends, and always was up for a good BBQ or gathering. He cared so much for his wife Deanna, and said she was HOME, no matter where he was working in the world, and loved her so much. They shared almost 30 years of fun, travel and adventures together, he was her ROCK.

John passed away on March 25, 2021, in Joplin, at the age of 69 years, 4 months and 1 day.

Jack Lee Milner was born on June 15, 1939 in Belleville, to Archie I. &amp; Anona Wilma (Owens) Milner. He was one of 9 children born to this union. Jack grew up and attended school in Belleville. He joined the US Air Force on January 14, 1958, and was honorably discharged on July 31, 1963.

Jack was united in marriage to Ilene Mae Sis on February 7, 1978, and with this union, they brought together six children from previous marriages.&nbsp;

Jack, along with his wife Ilene, owned and operated Nebraska Vault Company from 1982 until his retirement in the early 2000s when they moved to Norway, Kansas. In 2013, Jack and Ilene returned to Belleville, KS where they spent their final years. From the mid-'60s, prior to owning and operating the Nebraska Vault Company, Jack worked for the Rock Island Railroad as a brakeman and fireman, until it closed for operation in 1981.&nbsp; Jack never met a stranger he didn't like and everyone who knew him will remember him as a kind and thoughtful person.&nbsp;Daddy put most of his energy into his work, building a very successful business in Columbus, Nebraska.&nbsp; After his love for his family, his biggest joys were attending his children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events, riding his horse Trigger, watching NASCAR and rooting on, many times cussing, at his beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers!

Jack passed away on March 25, 2021, at his home in Belleville with family by his side, at the age of 81 years, 9 months and 10 days.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Archie and Anona, his wife Ilene, brothers Gene Milner and Leo Dale Milner, sisters Beth Milner, Betty DeVault, Arlene Milner and Pam Kasl.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/carldon-broadbent">Obituary | Carldon H. Broadbent of Beloit, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Carldon Herschel Broadbent was born on April 25, 1930 to Carl and Julia Finney Broadbent on the farm in Bloomfield Township. He died Sunday, March 28, 2021 at his home in rural Beloit at the age of 90.

He was a 1948 graduate of Beloit High School, as well as a graduate of Kansas State University and Emporia State. He started teaching rural school at District #82 in Laban, and in 1950 between college terms, and after college while farming the family land. In 1957, he joined Salina’s school system #305, and continued farming until 1960.

In 1990, he retired after 37 years as an educator, and returned to his home south of Beloit.

He was active in the Mitchell County Historical Society, the Pleasant View United Methodist Church, and numerous county and state organizations. The many trees and plants on his homestead, on which he built and laid out in 1978, indicate some of his other interests.

Carldon was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Neida Vonne Broadbent Zeek; nephews, Galen Zeek and Carl Ray Hobbs; and great-nephews, Joel Dean Hobbs and G.W. Pendlay.

He is survived by his sister, Beverly Broadbent Hobbs; nephew Daniel Hobbs (Rita); niece, Juanita Zeek Pendlay (Bill); six nephews; and one great-niece – of these, four have children, adding to the family several great-great relations whom Carldon tracks with interest. He encouraged the great-niece and nephews in their careers and education, and was proud that eight earned their college educations.

Graveside memorial services will be at 10 a.m. Monday, April 5 at Elmwood Cemetery in Beloit. Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation. 

Memorials may be given to the Mitchell County Anthropological Society.

Diane E. (Dowling) Arning, 76, of Bleiblerville, Texas, passed away Saturday, March 6, 2021, at home with family by her side.&nbsp;

She was born October 17, 1944, in Salina, Kansas. Diane grew up in 
Pittsburgh before moving to Houston, graduating from Spring Branch High 
School in 1962. She continued her education at the University of 
Houston. Diane married her high school sweetheart, Ben Arning, on August
 13, 1966, at Christ Church Cathedral. She was employed with Spring 
Branch ISD from 1966 until 1982 as a government and economics teacher. 
Diane then returned to the University of Houston to study law. She 
received her Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1985 and practiced family law

director at St Christopher’s Episcopal Church. She was also enthusiastic
 about government/politics and was a voting delegate at the National 
Republican Conventions. In her spare time, Diane (affectionately known 
as ‘Honey’), enjoyed volunteering at the nursing home calling bingo. She
 loved musicals, classic movies, music and cutting loose on a dance 
floor. She was an avid reader often saving books or articles to share 
with others. ‘Honey’ loved watching game shows and solving the 
newspaper’s daily puzzle pack, which the grandkids loved doing with her.

She is survived by her husband: Ben Arning, Jr of Bleiblerville; 
daughters: Kim Bond and husband, Randy, and Kris Harden and husband, 
Curtis, all of Bleiblerville; brother: Bill Dowling and wife, Lynn, of 
Hays, Kansas; grandchildren: Tyler Bond, Kyle Jones, Chase Harden,
