The County dedicated a bench and tree in Harold’s honor Monday morning on the North lawn of the Courthouse. Harold started working at the Courthouse in 1959 and retired in 2009. The bench is made from the former steps of the Courthouse and the tree, a Burr Oak, was ceremoniously plant-ed by Howard as part of the Kansas Territorial Sesquicentennial Commission’s tree planting project in 2004 to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Kansas Territory. Harold is pictured with his wife Margie, along with friends and former co-workers. Dear Santa,My name is Daxtur. I am 6 years old. This year I have been nice and naughty.

Alma attended Collier Flats Grade School, Protection High School, and graduated from Hesston Acad-emy in 1945. On January 31, 1946, she was united in marriage to Al-bert Hostetler in her parents’ home. They made their home on farms west of Harper, Kansas all their married life.

This marriage was blessed with ve children: Anita, Wesley, Curtis, Vincent, and Monte.Alma had a happy childhood growing up on a farm with lov-ing parents and sisters close in age.

Alma was very active in meeting at church weekly for sew-ing and quilting and was known for her craftsmanship. She frequently was a Sunday School teacher, Bible School teacher, and Sun-day School superintendent. She was a member of the Octad Pitch Club and consistently participated in EHU (Extension Homemakers Units).Alma and Albert were well matched and had a joyful relation-ship, with Alma devoting much of her life to raising her family. Alma was a farm wife with many skills, including cooking, sewing, garden-ing, and entertaining. Her good meals rewarded hard work on the farm. Alma was gifted as a mother and grandmother, always show-ing loving care while modeling Christian character and values. She found great joy throughout her years in knowing and interact-ing with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.Preceding Alma in death were her husband, parents, and a sis-ter, Elsie Hostetler.

This might look like developing healthy physical habits like eating, exercise & regular sleep. Take time to yourself each day, noticing the good moments & choosing to do something you enjoy.
