Obituary
Kathryn Mary Nicholas Inness (2-14-1905 to 3-29-1998)
Kathryn Mary Nicholas died at the Morton County Hospital, Elkhart, KS, March 29, 1998. She was born to Ralph and Mary Reinking Nicholas on February 14, 1905 in Tipton, KS. When Kathryn was one and a half years old, another daughter was born to this union, Thelma Laurietta. When the girls were small their mother, Mary, died (Dec. 1908).
When Kathryn was 6 years old, her father married Bertha Mayhood.
This instantly brought her and Thelma another sister, Inez Mary, who was 4 years old.
In 1911 Kathryn’s family moved from Pierceville, KS to Two Buttes, near Lamar, Colorado. While they lived at Two Buttes, another daughter was born, Nina Bertha. At this time, Kathryn was 10 years old. In the early 1920’s they moved near Boyero, Colorado. Many trees around the Karval area came from their nursery, called “The Oasis”.
Kathryn spent one summer at summer school at Oberlin, KS and went to college at Hays, KS for two summers. She taught school 5 years before her marriage to Warren E. Leonard, June 23, 1934.
To this union two children were born. Gwendal Leon and Onnalee Jean. Kathryn, with her son and daughter, moved to Karval, CO in the fall of 1945, where she taught grades 1 through 4 for two years. In July, 1947, Kathryn became Postmaster in Karval and worked until her retirement in June, 1974.
In 1948 Kathryn was united in marriage to Emanuel Sears “Manny” Inness. This brought to her another family - 4 step daughters and their husbands. Edith and Charlie Summers of Holly, CO, Margaret and Walter Steiner of Kit Carson, CO, Shirley and Chet White of Antioch, Ill and Ruby and Calvin Hixson of Fowler, CO. Her husband, Manny died in June, 1971.
Kathryn was very active in all the activities her children were in. School activities, 4-H, Music and Church kept her busy and she enjoyed sharing many learning and enjoyable experiences with Gwendal and Onnalee.
She was an avid gardener, which she surely inherited from her father. Even after she retired, you could see her working in her yard as early as 5:00 A.M. Her garden and yard was her relaxation and her pride. Roses were among her many specialties. Kathryn was very fond of her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren and loved them the same as her children. She always remembered their birthdays and made sure they each had a card that fit them.
After retiring from the Post Office, Kathryn continued her work in the Karval Church of the Nazarene as Sunday School teacher and was always faithful to all the services she could attend. She also went into full time work with R.S.V.P. (Retired Senior Volunteer Program), and especially enjoyed being a part of the Karval Keenagers, playing the Banjo. Also, she enjoyed crocheting, making afghans for all of her grandchildren.
In 1986, she moved to Elkhart and lived with her daughter and family. While she was living at home (Karval, CO) she was able to be close to her son and his family. She enjoyed the closeness of both families and was happy to be with them. It was very important to her to be close to her Doctor, whom she had so much confidence in. She felt that he gave her many added years of quality life.
She continued to play her banjo at church and for many activities in Elkhart.
She played for several hospital fund raising activities and would always get a standing ovation. She played her banjo with her daughter playing the accordian and her son-in-law playing the guitar. Her fingers always remained nimble and strong and she could keep the music moving while her audience tapped their toes. Although her body would become weaker and weaker, she always had the strength to play the banjo.
Kathryn missed her friends and family at Karval and tried to keep in contact with them as much as possible. She will always be appreciated and remembered for her concern and compassion for her family.
Although she continually tried to be strong for others, she found that losing her son, Gwendal, to cancer in July, 1995, was the hardest struggle in life she had to face. She had very fond memories of Gwendal and she missed him very much.
Her latest highlight of her life was to be able to attend her granddaughter’s
wedding. (Gwendolyn and J.J. - 1996) She had all the Home Health Care nurses taking very good care of her so her dream could come true. She was very fond of each of her daily Home Health Care nurses and they were special friends to her.

Obituary
Gwendal Leon Leonard
Gwendal Leon Leonard was born April 16, (1935), to Warren E. Leonard and Kathryn M. (Nicholas) Inness at their home 10 miles east of Karval.
He spent the early years working on the farm and was already driving wheat trucks to Hugo at the age of 10 for Jim Middleton. At the age of 18 he married his childhood sweetheart in June of 1953. They started their family in a small house one mile east of Karval.
During the time they were building their family, Gwendal worked different places and jobs such as farming and truck driving. In 1959 he started working for the county road and bridge crew as a transportation safety technician (better known as a "grader man").
In 1970 he went to work for his father on the ranch east of Karval and later moved his family to the present homestead four miles east of Karval. It was during this time that he became the mentor to his children as they participated in school, sports, music, ranching and learning the general principles to prepare them for life. It was also during this time that they perfected the fine art of chasing coyotes and antelope, and especially to watch out for ravines and old basements.
He started his community leadership in the early 60's by umpiring Little League, Babe Ruth and town team baseball. He and his wife became 4-H general leaders in 1965 where they led for 15 years. During this time he taught many young people how to square dance. After several years of farming and ranching he decided to run for county commissioner in 1981. After winning the election he served two terms from 1982 to 1990 as the best darn commissioner that Lincoln County ever had.
During and after his term as commissioner his life branched out into many directions by joining lots of different organizations. He was a charter member of both the Karval Lions Club and the Karval Volunteer Fire Department where he served in most leadership roles in each organization.
He also served on the Lincoln County EMS Council, the Alumni Association and the Lincoln County Stockmen's Association where he was the past president. In 1991 he became a member of the Lincoln Community Hospital Board where he was presently serving as chairman of the board.
He served in a number of capacities in many other organizations and was always willing to lend a helping hand. During the course of his life some of his understudies included Red Skelton and the Smothers Brothers. It is probably because of these people that we enjoyed knowing him as a Homecoming Clown, Santa Claus, Tail Twister and overall entertainer and jokester wherever he went.
Gwendal was diagnosed as having leukemia on April 22, 1995, and although he fought the disease with all his mite, he passed away July 15, 1995 at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs at the age of 60.
Gwendal is survived by his wife, Pat, his five sons, Allen and children Aaron, Adam and Cybil of Colorado Springs; Leon and his wife, Sandy, and their children Brooke, of Ordway; and Bill and Bill's wife, Tina., of Fowler (Gwendal's first great-grandchild is soon to arrive and is sure to be Bill and Tina's joy in their time of sorrow); his son Larry and his wife, Cindy and their children, Levi, Zane and Jake of Karval; Carlos and wife, Michelle and children, Tiffany, Shaun, and Colton of Karval, and Jenisha and Shayla Bowerman of Colorado Springs; Patrick and wife, Ginny, and children Micheal, Amanda, Jessica and Ashleigh of Karval; one daughter, Enola, of Colorado Springs. He is also survived by his sister, Onnalee Harrell and husband, Millard, and children Gwendolyn and Kelby and Kelby's wife, Stephanie of Elkhart, Kan.; his mother, Katheryn Innes of Elkhart, Kan., his mother in law Gladys Sherman of La Junta, a brother-in-law, Bill Sherman and wife Sandy; sister-in-law Ruth Wheeler and Guy Simone. Gwendal and Pat also provided a home for 17 foster children including Theresa, Sheryl, Bandon, Willie and Justin. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins, as well as his step-mother Marvis June of Limon.
Funeral Services were held July 19 at the Karval School with Rev. Ron Clark officiating. The musical selection were a 'Tribute To Dad'. Casket bearers were Robert Elliot, Robert Webb, Robert Williams, Darrel Dutro, Lyle Hilferty, Robert Capps, Carl Johnson and Keith Capps. Honorary escorts were the Karval Lions Club, Karval Fire Department, Lincoln Community Hospital, Memorial Hospital Oncology, EMS Council, Lincoln County Stockmen, Lincoln County employees and the 4-H Foundation.
Burial was in the Bucklen Cemetery in Karval.

William Pate Stonner II born February 1971, Jason Christopher Stonner born May 1972 and Michael Paul Stonner born January 1975.
Lorie and Bill purchased their first home in Lochbuie Colorado and as their family grew and required more room, they moved just down the way located on the outskirts of town between Ft. Lupton and Hudson. Here they would find their forever home, a place they would watch their kids grow, and seasons change.
Lorie loved her kids and grandkids, beyond anything else they brought great joy to her life. Lorie had a total of 9 grandchildren, Five Granddaughters: Arizona, Alexis, Taylor, Dilynn and Grace. Four grandsons: William (Billy), Jaden, Logan, and Odin. Teo great grandsons: Aiden and Ronin. She loved watching them in all their sporting activities, school plays or just texting to say I love you.
Lorie was very active in volunteering for her boys in school and scouts. Lorie led the RIF program (reading is fundamental), she was an avid member of the PTA. She volunteered for the fundraiser at the Hudson fair and help led field day. Lorie was involved greatly in scouts starting out as a Den Mom. Some of her accomplishment would go on to include earning her Silver Beaver, she was an Ordeal member of the Order of the Arrow and received 3 beads for Wood Badge and many other awards and accolades.
Lorie's love for the scouts and the outdoors overflowed into her professional career as well. She was a wiz with numbers and managed the budget for all donations for Denver area council for the Boy Scouts of America. She spent 25 years with the scouts and retired in 2017.
Lorie held some hidden talents she was amazing at crocheting, drawing, sewing, creating epic Halloween costumes for her kids and grandkids. She was a pro at sudoku and the Sunday crossword puzzle. Lorie had a beautiful voice and very smart wit. She was great at trivia and a person you could count on for sound advice regardless or if you wanted to hear it or not.
Lorie could have a hard shell, but inside was a big softy who loved life, family, and friends. The legacy of Lorie?s giving spirit lives on in her children and grandchildren?s passion for sports, love of reading, and zest for life. Lorie will forever be greatly missed.
