Date: Wednesday, 7 March 1990, Page B12 Andrew S. Leh, 87, of 40 S. Fairview St., Nazareth, longtime Nazareth High School coach and athletic director, died Tuesday in St. Luke's Hospital. An active coach in interscholastic sports since 1926, Leh organized the school's first football program, and coached and fielded the first interscholastic football team, comprised of only 20 members. In 1927 he organized and directed the first baseball program. He coached three varsity sports: football for 30 years, basketball, 26 years, and baseball 42 years. Leh resigned as basketball coach in 1952, football coach in 1956, but continued as baseball coach until retiring in 1968. His football-coaching career produced three undefeated football teams (1935, 1950 and 1951); six league championships and five- shared co-league championships, including a record 25-game streak without a loss from 1949 to 1952. During the 1935 season only 21 points were scored against the team. He gave up football in 1956, but not until his teams had compiled 160 wins, 73 losses and 18 ties. Leh's baseball coaching career produced 11 Lehigh-Northampton League champions, six undefeated seasons (1928, '29, '34, '36, '38 and '40); a winning streak of 28 straight games from 1928 to 1930; PIAA District 11 champions in 1935, and PIAA District 11 co- champions in 1942. His teams won 161 games, lost 75 and tied 18. His basketball team had an overall winning record of 221-214 and the school's first Lehigh-Northampton League championship during the 1939-40 season. Leh coached and directed 1,128 interscholastic varsity games in football, basketball and baseball. He was appointed director of athletics in 1956. In addition, Leh was a health and physical education teacher at Nazareth Area High School, and organized and supervised the first physical education program in the elementary schools. In 1965 the Nazareth Area School Board named the new football stadium in his honor, The Andrew S. Leh Stadium. The school's "Blue Eagles" nickname and mascot came about with Leh's suggestion.

Date: Thursday, 29 April 2010 2 sisters slain at Amity motel suffered shotgun blasts, authorities say The two women found slain in the office of an Amity Township motel both were shot in the head with blasts from a shotgun, officials said Wednesday. Carolyn Levan, 60, who lived at the Hillside Motel along Route 422 and was a housekeeper there, and Charlene Levan, 57, Pottstown, were found shot to death Tuesday, according to officials in the Berks County coroner's office. The women were sisters, officials said. Autopsies conducted Wednesday night in Reading Hospital determined that both women died of a single gunshot wound to the head, Coroner Dennis J. Hess said. Both deaths were ruled homicides, he said. The Levan sisters were found dead in the office of the 12-room motel near Limekiln Road on Tuesday about 6 p.m. after someone who lives there called 9-1-1 to report two gunshot victims, authorities said. They were pronounced dead at the scene about an hour later. Neither woman was tied up or tortured, investigators said. Police continued to hold the run-down, one-story motel as a crime scene Wednesday and said they might not leave for another day or two. The county forensic squad also was there to collect evidence and document the scene of the double murder. Sources close to the investigation said Wednesday that many pieces of the puzzle still were missing and they did not yet know the circumstances surrounding the murders. Detectives interviewed several people for a second time Wednesday in the Amity police department. Amity police, who are leading the investigation with the assistance of county detectives, have not released any information about the case. The murders were the first in the township in recent memory. Investigators said Carolyn Levan worked as a housekeeper at the motel for many years. Her sister went to the motel often to help her wash sheets, clean the rooms and make the beds, according to a relative. District Attorney John T. Adams remained tight-lipped about the investigation and said he hopes to make a more detailed statement today to put residents and business owners at ease.

Date: Tuesday, 7 October 2008 On January 3, 1913, Peter and Augusta Lungren welcomed their tenth child into this world and they named him Theodore Sylvester. He was born at their home in the Stotler community near Osage City, Kansas. After the Lungren family moved in 1918 to "the home place," a farm some ten miles north of Caldwell, the children numbered twelve. The family attended the Chikaskia Church and Theodore (known to many as Ted) and several of his siblings attended Hahn Grade School. Ted later attended Caldwell High School, graduating with the class of 1931. He was a proud alum, rarely missing a homecoming event. Even though it was difficult for him his family carried out his wishes and made sure he was able to attend the 2007 homecoming banquet. It was the 70th year class reunion for his brother Paul and the 50th for his daughter Marilyn. When the Chikaskia Church closed the family began attending the Corbin Methodist Church and there Ted met Pearl Audrey Hess at the Sunday evening Epworth League meetings. They began dating and Ted would later recall a particular game of horseshoes at a Sunday picnic where, in his words, he got to thinking, "She was a pretty nice girl." He and that "pretty nice girl" were married on May 4, 1938 and shared sixty-two years of love, appreciation, and companionship before Pearl passed away in 2001. To this union were born five children: Marilyn Ferne, Roger Theodore, Linda Elizabeth, Virginia Gail, and David Wesley. Ted and Pearl were both active members in the Corbin United Methodist church, helped with the Skylark 4-H Club, and together made a living raising livestock and farming. Due to this hard work, borne of love and responsibility, they were able to take care of their family and feel great pride in the fact that all five children were able to attend and graduate from Southwestern College of Winfield. They were proud of their relationship with the college and were honored in 1991 with the Alumni Association's Ambassador Award. In 1978, just before their 40th wedding anniversary they moved off the "home place" and into town, 121 N. Osage, Caldwell, Kansas. Ted would still be involved in farming by assisting his daughter and son-in-law Marilyn and Jerry Houlden. Some weren't sure how this gradual transition to retirement would go for Ted, however "town life" seemed to agree with him. He joined the Lions Club, eventually serving as president. He and Pearl traveled to many Lions Club events around the country. He spent more time gardening, even growing one of those humongous pumpkins one year, but what really kept him active was mowing lawns. Son-in-law Jerry helped him modify a stock trailer and soon he and his lawnmower were all over town. He took pride in his work and joy in his interaction with people. With all this accomplishment it probably should be noted that in 1962 Ted lost a large portion of his right arm in an implement accident. What's notable however is not the tragedy itself but the way in which he responded. He adjusted, adapted, and moved forward without complaint and there was little he could not accomplish. As the years went by and age took its toll, this self-reliant man needed more and more assistance from others and he learned to accept that assistance graciously and with thanks. He moved into the long term care facility of the hospital in October of 2002 and was there until his death October 6, 2008. Ted was preceded in death by his beloved wife Pearl, his parents and four brothers and six sisters. Left behind to cherish the memories are daughter Marilyn Houlden, and husband Jerry of Caldwell; son Roger Lungren, and wife Beth of Winfield; daughter Linda Lungren of San Diego, California; daughter Virginia Vanek, and husband Jim of Greeley, Colorado; and son David Lungren of Kansas City, Kansas. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren include Angela and Skip Hoffman, Luke and Nick of Mission Hills, KS; Beth and Randy Weigel, Megan and Mike of Overland Park, KS, Trent and Jackie Houlden, Ellen and Olivia of Temple, TX; Trevor and Kim Houlden, Bryce and Kabrie of Leesburg, FL; Stacy and Scott Jagodzinske, Audrey and Addilyn of Claremore, OK; Jim Vanek of Wichita, KS; Sarah Vanek of Garden City, KS; and Sarah Bromley of Prairie Village, KS. He will also be missed by his brother Paul Lungren, and wife Elna of Kingsburg, CA, and a host of other relatives and friends. *Funeral services for Ted were held 2:00 p.m. Thursday, October 9, 2008 at the United Methodist Church in Corbin, Kansas. Rev. Jan McDaniel officiated. Peggy Ginn served as organist and accompanied Rod and Pam Lungren as they sang "Because He Lives" and "Hymn of Promise". Stacy Jagodzinske performed a hand bell solo "His Eye Is On the Sparrow", accompanied by Linda Lungren. Honorary casket bearers were Angela Hoffman, Beth Weigel, Stacy Jagodzinske, Sarah Vanek, Sarah Bromley, Jacquelyn Houlden, Kimberly Houlden and Alyson Houlden. Casket bearers were Trent Houlden, Trevor Houlden, Scott Jagodzinske, Skip Hoffman, Randy Weigel, Jim Vanek and Mike Houlden. Interment was in the Corzine Cemetery, Corbin, Kansas. Memorials may be given in Ted's name to the Corbin United Methodist Church or to the Sumner County District #1 Hospital Auxiliary. Schaeffer Mortuary, 6 N.
