| 1707 | Obituary MICHAEL C. LEONARD (9-13-1946 to 9-27-2000) Michael Leonard, 54, died Sept. 27, 2000, in Colorado Springs, CO. He was a former Colorado Springs police officer and a captain at the Department of Corrections in Buena Vista. He was self-employed. He served in the Marines for two years and was a Vietnam veteran. Mike was born Sept. 13, 1946, in La Junta, CO. to Warren E. and Annabelle C. (Hyrup) Leonard. His father is deceased. He was married July 29, 1983, to Bernice A. Abila. He is survived by his wife; two sons, Casey Michael and Toby Warren; one daughter, Michele Lee; his mother; two brothers, Warren and Thomas; and three sisters, Joanna Metz, Vicki Smith and Roxi Graham. Mike always tried to be “peace maker” and was the “rock” for his siblings and his family; he was a true "big brother", a father figure, plus a role model. A memorial service was held at the Sunnyside Christian Church, 2025 N. Murray Blvd., Colorado Springs, CO. Burial (cremation) was at the Evergreen Cemetery. The following is a “eulogy” that the family wrote and Warren read at Mike’s funeral services: Mike was truly a special person. He was a loving son, husband, father, brother, and a friend. We laughed with him, loved with him, and even fought with him. Right or wrong, he had only one way of doing things – hard and fast! There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for someone that he cared about. When he felt that a loved one was in trouble, he was always there to lend a helping hand. And when the battle lines were drawn, you always felt better just knowing that he was there by your side. He was a true warrior. Mike meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people. He had an impact on everyone he touched. Some he touched a little harder than others. No matter who it was, he always seemed to leave them with a smile and the feeling that they had someone they could count on if the times got rough. He had the gift of gab, thus he never meet a stranger. He always seemed to have a joke or story for whatever the occasion. He had a way with words that no one could match. He loved to make people laugh, even at his own expense. When he would tell a story, he kept you hanging on to each word. Even when you knew his story was stretching the truth a little, it didn’t really matter because you were laughing so hard it hurt. And when he finished the story, he would look you right in the eye and swear that was the way it actually happened. Next to his family, Mike’s greatest passion was the rodeo. He wasn’t the world’s best rider or best roper, but that didn’t really matter, he just enjoyed being a part of it. He loved the speed of the horses, the clanging of the cowbells, and the smell of it all. Mike didn’t share a lot of himself, even with the ones closest to him. He kept his vulnerabilities hidden and had his own way of showing love. It wasn’t always open and visible. Most often it was just his presence of being there, through a hug, a smile, or a tear. Nor did he really share much of what he was thinking. He would give little bits and pieces, but then would look away as if the rest really didn’t matter. Mike took no quarter but was always willing to give. He rarely said he was sorry or apologized for what he said or did, that just wasn’t Mike’s way! It is hard to understand and accept that a rock like Mike could fall. He was a proud man, sometimes even to a fault. There was no greater pride than what he had for his daughter Michele, and especially his two sons, Casey Michael and Toby Warren, and the mother who carried them. We will all miss him. I say to Mike now - Get on, nod your head, and dig in your spurs. Look out God, cowboy up! | Leonard, Michael Chris (I3606)

(Nicholas) Inness at their home, 10 miles east of Karval. Gwendal spent his early years working on the farm and was driving wheat trucks to Hugo at the age of 10 for Jim Middleton. At the age of 18 he married his childhood sweetheart, June 13, 1953. They started their family in a small house one mile east of Karval. During their 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, which taught them to watch out for ravines and old basements. Gwendal started his community leadership in the early 60’s by umpiring Little League, Babe Ruth and town team baseball, He and his wife, Pat, 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, Gwendal 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 many 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 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.

| 1717 | Obituary https://www.robertsblue.com/obituary/onnalee-harrell Onnalee Jean Harrell, 83, Emporia, Kansas, passed away on Friday, August 2, 2024, at Holiday Resort. Onnalee was born January 14, 1941, in Rocky Ford, Colorado, the daughter of Warren and Kathryn Mary (Nicholas) Leonard. She married Millard L. Harrell in Karval, Colorado on August 7, 1965. He survives. Other family members include her son; Kelby L. Harrell, Emporia, Kansas, daughter; Gwen (Chuck) Modlin, Emporia, Kansas, grandchildren; Josh (Sarah) Stutler, Jacob (Luisa) Stutler, and Jared and Jacey Stutler, as well as several nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother; Kathryn Inness and brother; Gwendal Leonard. Upon graduating from Karval High School in Karval, Colorado, Onnalee attended Bethany Nazarene College where she graduated with Bachelor's degrees in Music Education and also Psychology/Sociology. Her first teaching job took her to Paradise, Kansas where she taught grade school, jr. high and high school choir and band. During the school year, she met her husband, Millard, who grew up in Paradise, but was also teaching choir and band in a nearby town, Luray. Millard and Onnalee married August 7, 1965. Together they moved to Kit Carson, Colorado where they both taught choir and band and where their family grew with the birth of their son, Kelby. They later moved to Elkhart, Kansas where they also added another member to their family, their daughter Gwen. Millard and Onnalee both took a break from teaching while in Elkhart and became the owners of Harrell Furniture Store and Harrell Funeral Home. Along with these businesses, Onnalee still pursued her love for teaching music by giving private piano lessons and also directing a youth choir called Gospel Express Youth Choir. She touched many children?s lives and gave them wonderful memories of performing many times and also the experience of recording an album and other recordings of their music. After Kelby and Gwen were grown and out on their own, Onnalee decided to go back into teaching in the public school setting and taught choir at Elkhart Middle School and Elkhart High School. Before retiring. Onnalee?s health started declining shortly after and she became a recipient of a liver transplant in 2001. We were given 23 bonus years with Onnalee after her transplant, but other health issues soon followed. Despite her health, Onnalee?s faith gave her the ability to always remain positive and be grateful for her life each day. As she was unable to get out to socialize that often she was blessed with the connections she had with so many through emails and texts and especially Facebook. She loved Facebook and being able to connect and keep up with her former students and their families, but her greatest pride was sharing pictures and stories with all of her friends. She was very proud of sharing woodcarvings that Millard carved and sharing pictures of her kids and especially sharing the lives of her grandchildren. Onnalee truly left the world a better place with her positiveness and encouragement she shared every day. She made the best of any situation she was in regardless of if it was during her stay at the hospital, doctor?s visits or just visiting with friends and family. Cremation is planned. A graveside service will take place in Paradise, Kansas at a later date. | Leonard, Onnalee Jean (I227)

| 1718 | 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. Survivors include: One Daughter and Son-in-law: Onnalee and Millard Harrell of Elkhart, KS. One Daughter-in-law: Patricia Leonard of Karval, CO Eight Grandchildren and their families (including 18 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren).

| 1729 | Obituary on Find A Grave: Myredith E. Buss, 83, of Salina, Kansas, was born on Thursday, November 17, 1938 and passed away Thursday, October 27, 2022 with her family at her side. A Thursday child; generous and loving throughout her life. As a child of the Great Depression, Myredith's early life was not easy. She worked in the orchard and garden, fished with her brothers in a nearby river, and froze her fingers raising ducks to help support her family. But she walked away from her childhood with a strong faith, a loving and supportive family, compassion for those less fortunate, a sharp-witted sense of humor, and a belief that determination and hard work would bring a brighter future. She was married twice, first to Ronald C. Tonne with whom she had four children. They lived in Norton, Kansas, where she worked as the Clerk of the District Court. She moved to Salina, Kansas in 1978 and later married Kenneth. E. Buss, creating a loving family that would last until his death in 2019. Ken made her laugh, loved her endlessly, and broke her heart with his passing. They were both devoted grandparents, attending all of life's events with great joy! Myredith gave love through acts of kindness: sharing recipes, teaching us to cook and bake. Fruits and vegetables were treasures, especially if they were free and picked by hand ? they found their way into jellies and jams, salads and jello desserts to be relished each year on our holiday tables. She always had a project in the works! She gifted us all treasured holiday decorations, hand-crocheted pillowcases, and beautiful quilts, and she lovingly mended the stuffed animals of her grandchildren ? a labor of love that continued even with arthritic hands and failing eyesight. Myredith found beauty in everyday things: watching her flowers grow, the smell of baking cinnamon rolls, the croaking of frogs, and the chatter and giggles of children at play. She enjoyed the fellowship of Mentor Methodist Church and spoke of time spent with friends from the choir, countless pancake breakfasts with friends and grandkids, and the comfort she found in this supportive community. With broken hearts and appreciation for the beautiful life she stitched together and shared with us are two of her siblings, Henry Elder and Annie Nelson, three of her children, Arden Tonne, Ronda Blatt, and Byron Tonne, her stepchildren Melinda Sevedge and Steve Buss, daughters and sons by marriage, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many friends. We will miss her but know that she will be welcomed to eternity with heavenly hugs from her husband Kenneth Earl of 37 years, her cherished son Terry Allen Tonne who sadly left us way too soon, and many others who shared her life. A service celebrating her life will be held on Saturday, November 26th at 11:00 am at the Mentor Methodist Church, 616 E. Mentor Rd., Assaria, Kansas 67416. Memorials may be made to the Mentor Methodist Church in memory of Myredith E. Buss. | Elder, Myredith Elda (I6040)
