Date: Sunday, 14 August 2011 SEBENS RAYMOND WILLARD SEBENS "Ray" Died peacefully on the August 7, 2011 in Austin, Texas, at the age of 85. Ray enjoyed his last days living near daughter, Karen. Born on October 9, 1925 and raised on a farm in Milnor, North Dakota, Ray joined the Army Air Corps in 1943 and graduated as a navigator. After 6 months in his first newspaper job as a cub reporter with the "San Antonio Light," he enrolled at UCLA and earned a degree in journalism. As editor of the "El Monte Times" in LA, his most memorable headline might have been "Editor Makes His Mark" announcing the birth of his son, Mark, in 1953. He went on to own and operate a mimeographing business, which launched his career as a well-respected writer and editor of thousands of newsletters for various organizations. A life-long Democrat always interested in politics, Ray worked on election campaigns for several Assemblymen in southern California at a grass roots level and parlayed that experience into a job in Washington, D.C. for a newly elected Congressman. Thus began a dynamic 22 year career as Administrative Assistant to a total of four Congressmen from the same U. S. House District in Southern California. Ray managed a busy congressional office on the Hill, assisting constituents with problems and keeping them informed of what their Congressman was doing in Washington. While in DC, Ray met and married his beloved wife Janet. Retirement gave Ray and Janet much desired time for world travel by air and by sea. In 1995, they moved to St. Augustine, Florida where Ray made many new friends and enjoyed 11 years of sun, culture, and many, MANY hours of volunteering. As well as being active in the local Democratic party. Ray was active with the local Council on Aging and the Learn to Read Foundation. He created programs in St John's County to help people with financial hardship navigate the medical system, often enabling them to obtain free or low cost medicine directly from pharmaceutical companies. Ray was preceded in death by his wife: Janet Sebens; sisters: Dorothy Moen and Lucille Carlen; and brothers: Carl Sebens and Norman 'Ozzie' Sebens. He is survived by his sisters, Elsie Haykel and Marjorie Opperman; sons, Mark Sebens and Tod Sebens; daughter, Karen Sebens; step-daughter, Pamela Brooks; six grandchildren, his wonderful friend and caregiver the last two years, Carol Garcia and innumerable relatives and friends who loved and will miss him dearly. Private services to be held in Austin, Texas. Throughout his life, Ray urged people to use their voice-to vote, to run for office and to get involved in our American democracy. In his last days, he expressed feelings of dismay that Washington had truly fallen apart. For that reason, the family requests that, in lieu of flowers, those so inclined would honor Ray by using their voice to call, write or email their U.S. representatives and senators, our president and other elected officials in Washington, to urge them to set aside their social, political and religious differences and bring this country back together.

Date: Thursday, 7 October 1937 ARK CITY WOMAN'S HANDWORK MAKES SHOWPLACE OF HOME Weary of Leisure, Mrs. J.B. Smith Turned to Woodwork and Found Herself Surprisingly adept Here may be seen just a small segment of the whole collection of hand-turned wooden images made by Mrs. Lena Smith, an Arkansas City lady who, now in her sixties, turned to "whittling for a hobby". It is estimated by her daughter here in Wichita, Mrs. Audrey Woods, 424 Ellis, that Mrs. Smith by now has made about 2,000 pieces ranging from animals, serpents, fowls, reptiles to house, barns, windmills, lighthouses, etc. She makes her characters and buildings out of common grocery-box wood and common boards found about a lumber yard and her implements include her husband's old pocket knife, a key hole saw, a claw hammer and a paint brush. Mrs. Smith is pictured also. The versatility of the human hand and the readiness with which it adepts itself to whatever task the imagination may devise, not only to support but to amuse, has become manifest in the case of an Arkansas City woman 64 years old who, through her work-worn hands, has found a hobby in woodworking that has made her home a showplace of southeast Kansas. Ten years ago Mrs. S.J.B. (Lena) Smith, and her husband, moved from the family farm to Arkansas City, 919 South B Street. It was to be a well earned retirement for both. But, as so often befalls persons who attempt to retire after long, arduous lives, this couple found themselves unhappy victims of leisure. Mrs. Smith tried quilting. For about six years she worked industriously over the quilt frames but this constant stooping and reaching affected her digestion and the doctor said: "Stop." It was not long after that Mrs. Smith began to long for something to do. Her attention was attracted by the wooden image of a little flower girl and this hard working ex-farm woman thought to try her hand at that and thus was born an unusual hobby. So she drew a design of a little stooping flower girl, pot in hand watering an imaginary plant. Then, armed with a key-hole saw and her husband's old pocket knife, she went whittling down a path usually assigned to pottering men, young and old, whittlers by heritage. The difference, though, between the whittling of this woman and that of men, is that the former reached a number of useful ends while man's whittling normally arrives only at the sharp end of a stick. HAD A KNACK FOR IT First of all, Mrs. Smith discovered, and so did her abashed husband, that she had a knack for whittling and carving in wood that out-distanced the fondest hope of the aspiring male. The first thing she knew she was whittling and carving with the greatest zeal and her unrest and nervousness and indigestion vanished. As her success grew, so did her imagination and she went from flower girls to animals to reptiles to birds to houses to wooden chains carved from one continuous stick with no breaks in the perfect links... this, too, don't forget, with a pocket knife and a key hole saw! It might logically be suspected that by now her hobby had taken on the aspect of science and that Mrs. Smith had long ago forsaken the ordinary woods she found in old boxes at the corner grocery and in miscellaneous boards she found at the lumber yard. But that is exactly what she did not do. REFUSES TO COMMERCIALIZE She is in this for amusement only and the arduousness of the task is part of the game. However, she had had many an opportunity to commercialize her hobby. Hordes of people who wish to buy the decorative objects and if necessary she might make a pretty fine living. She kept track one year and found that 2,671 persons had visited her menagerie which occupies her front and back yards and her living room. She now has upwards of 2,000 pieces. Among them is a most complete farmstead. After turning her craft to house building it was naturally a short step for this veteran farm wife to construction of a set of miniature farm buildings. She has performed this trick with great success. Her best set includes all of the barns, sheds, garages, windmills, hen houses, hog sheds...everything that might be seen on the farm home lot including the little one with a half moon in the door. There is the inevitable light house, set by a fish-pond ocean among beautiful rocks that have found their way from every state in the union to the back yard of the Smith home. And there are numerous other houses also. She has even built a filling station to complete the picture of farm and city life, peopled with all the necessary inhabitants. Mrs. and Mrs. Smith are the parents of Mrs. Audrey Woods, 424 Ellis.

Date: Thursday, 26 December 2013 Judy (née Zook) Spiegelberg died at Ivinson Memorial Hospital on Saturday, Dec. 21, 2013. She was born June 8, 1945, in Missouri and moved at a young age to Laramie with her parents who came to Laramie where her father became a lifetime employee of the Union Pacific Railroad. Judy completed grade school, junior high and high school in the Albany County school system. She began dating her future husband John Spiegelberg while in high school. Their marriage was blessed with two sons, Anthony and Vaughn, who reside in Wyoming. In 1973, John and Judy founded John's Building, a home improvement and house building business which has successfully continued for over forty years in the Laramie area. Judy was an integral part in the business operation and was quite multi-talented. They took pride, also, in the fact they raised their family in homes constructed with their own hands and labor. Their work ethic was passed onto their sons. Judy's interests included being a well-rounded homemaker, traveler and a loving and devoted mother and wife, and grandmother who always made an effort to attend all of their children's and grandchildren's family and school events, regardless of road conditions or travel distance. Judy was a longtime member of the Loveland Archaeological Society and shared many days and miles accompanying John to favorite artifact sites, especially the Shirley Basin area north of Laramie. During the last several years, Judy and John traveled to Mayan pyramid sites in Mexico, twice to Alaska, and twice to the cape of South Africa. Judy's health problems did not deter her from enduring the 23½ hour flight from Denver to South Africa. She savored every moment of traveling and loved to recount all the wonderful experiences. Judy's gentle personality and positive attitude will always be an inspiration to those who knew her. Judy was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband John, of Laramie; son Anthony Spiegelberg and wife Jean, and their children, Taylor and Emily, all of Sheridan; son Vaughn Spiegelberg, of Cheyenne, and his children, Logan, Brock, Alexis and Ryker.

Date: Thursday, 9 October 1958 HASTINGS FURNITURE DESIGNER, MANAGER SUCCUMBS MONDAY Death Takes (Jacob) Kellar Stem After Long Illness; Gifted Man Made Carved Oak Furniture Nationally Known. (Jacob) Kellar Stem, 90, 710 W. Walnut, retired Hastings industrialist and a civic leader for more than a half-century, died about 7 a.m. Monday at the Randall Nursing home in Grand Rapids where he had been a patient for the past 14 months. Wednesday at 10 a.m. former business associates, relatives and friends from all walks of life gathered at the Emmanuel Episcopal church for funeral services with the Rev. Don Gury officiating. Burial was in the family lot at Riverside cemetery. Mr. Stem had been ill for a long time prior to his death. He had been retired as general manager and as a major stockholder of the Grand Rapids Bookcase & Chair compnay since 1945, and one of his last major public appearances was at the dedication of the west wing of Pennock hospital in June of 1950. Mr. Stem is credited with being the moving force which gave Hastings its first hospital. He served for many years on the hospital board. Mr. Stem, affectionately known as "Pop" Stem by men and women throughout this area, was born on Oct. 27, 1867, in Easton, Pa., the son of Samuel and Mary Stem. When he was 12 he moved with his parents to Grand Rapids and as a teenager went to work as an apprentice in wood carving in Grand Rapids furniture factories. He switched to furniture design and later became manager of the Kent Furniture company at Newaygo. About 1898, the Grand Rapids Bookcase company was formed in Grand Rapids. In 1900, fire destroyed the firm's factory building. Richard Messer, who knew Mr. Stem, went to Grand Rapids and told him about the idle furniture plant here and that it could be purchased from the City bank. This brought Kellar Stem to Hastings. Mr. Stem was general manager and the largest single stockholder of the company which he served for 44 years. The company continued under his management until 1945, when he sold his interests and retired. Mr. Stem was a former director of the Furniture Manufacturer's Association of Grand Rapids and a former director of the Union Bank of Grand Rapids. He was also a former director of the Hastings City Bank, a charter member of the Rotary club, a member of the Country club, a former member of the Peninsular club of Grand Rapids, a life member of the Masonic Lodge and a life member of the Saladin Shrine of Grand Rapids. Mr. Stem, who was also interested in this community's youth affairs, was a kind man, and one who took a personal interest in helping children in need. He often took children into his own home to care for them. Mr. Stem was known to business associates and friends as a culinary artist, as well as an outstanding furniture man. Many business and sales meetings ended up at the Stem home with "Pop" Stem preparing the dinner. Mr. Stem's wife, who for many years was prominent in Pennock hospital affairs as chairman of the Women's Board, died Nov. 16, 1954. Mr. Stem is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Earl (Connie) Wareham of Berkley, Mich., and Mrs. Gay (Mary) Jordan of 702 W. Walnut; two sons, Jack of Detroit and Chester of New Albany, Ind.; eight grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Kellar made the sanctuary alter for his Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Hastings, MI.

The victims were Mrs. Elda J. Stutzman, 60, and Mrs. Dorothy Hoffman, 48, both of Stoystown R.D. 3, and John D. Pierce, 81, of 309 Knauer Lane, Welsey Chapel. Mr. Pierce's wife, Susan, 71, was the heart attack victim. Two Somerset county women were the occupants of a car that was involved in a collision with an empty coal truck shortly before 10 o'clock on Route 30 approximately two miles east of Stoystown. Mrs. Stutzman was identified as the driver and Mrs. Hoffman as her passenger. The two were pronounced dead on arrival at the Somerset Community Hospital. Somerset County Coroner Wilbur Miller said Mrs. Stutzman had died of a compound fracture of the skull, broken legs and a cut of the right arm. He said Mrs. Hoffman had died of a fractured skull, shock and compound fractures of the right shoulder and left leg. The state police said the truck was driven by Edward Lee Hoffman, 27, of Rockwood, who apparently was not related to Mrs. Hoffman. The police said the two women were traveling west on Route 30 when the car skidded on the snow-covered roadway. The car crossed into the eastbound lane, according to police, and crashed head on with the truck. The 1968 model car, valued at approximately $2,000, was demolished, the police said, and damage to the truck as estimated at $800. Mrs. Stutzman is survived by her husband, Eugene. She was born Oct. 13, 1913, in Stonycreek Township, daughter of the late Orie and Elizabeth (Lape) Grove. Mrs. Hoffman is survived by her husband, James, and four children, two of them at home. She was born Dec. 24, 1925, in Somerset County, daughter of the late William and Elsie (Stotler) Berkebile. The Hoffmans operated Hoffman Nurseries near Stoystown. Mr. Pierce was dead on arrival shortly after 10 o'clock after his van had crashed on Route 22 approximately three miles west of Mundys Corner. Frank Hillman, Cambria County chief deputy coroner, listed the cause of death as broken ribs, a cut of the liver and internal bleeding. Cambria County Coroner Joseph Govekar said Mr. Pierce's wife had gone to a neighbor's home after she had been notified of the accident. Mrs. Pierce collapsed and was taken to Lee, where she was pronounced dead on arrival shortly before noon. Mr. Govekar listed the cause of death as an apparent heart attack. The state police said Mr. Pierce was traveling west on Route 22 on a downgrade when his truck went out of control and struck a rock on one side of the highway. The police said the truck then skidded back across both lanes and came to rest against a tree. The 19664-model van, valued at approximately $1,000, was demolished, the police said. Mr. Pierce was a former employe of the Swank Hardware Co., and was a retired truck driver. He was born May 16, 1892, in Greensburg. Mrs. Pierce was the former Susan (Rose) Krise.

She was one of a family of four children, three brothers and herself, all of whom are now gone with the exception of one brother living in Milwaukee. when but a child she came with her parents to Hamilton county and had during all the years since made this county her home. She was united in marriage to N.B. Trumbauer, February 26, 1872. Two children, a girl and a boy came in due time to bless the home thus formed. Nellie, greatly loved by her mother and all others who knew her, passed away to her reward about twenty years ago. The son, Ray H. Trumbauer and family live in Sioux city and with them, for the time being at least, Mr. Trumbauer is making his home. It is probably that no living person had rendered a longer and more faithful service to the Methodist church in Webster City than did Sister Trumbauer. She was among the very first to become a member of the organization even before there was a church building erected in which to worship. And all through the years since that time she had been ever a faithful and diligent expoant both by personal service and living example of the things for which the church has stood. she had served in almost every department with honor and success. Just how much of her life she had given, no one but The Master of all good workman will ever be able to tell. But this at least we can say, that through sunshine and shadow, from youth to age, she gave generously of her best. And until in very recent years when there was a noticeable slowing down in bodily strength, she was even to be found in her place of worship. Just four Sundays from the time she was no longer able to heed the call of the church bell on Sunday morning, she had gone to worship in the church not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. That any will enjoy it there more than she will be hard for some of us to believe. About three years ago Mrs. Trumbauer received a fall, from the effects of which she never seemed to fully recover. And in recent weeks the further break came. At the end of a fruitful and well spent life she passed to her final reward last Thursday evening at about 7 o'cock just as the old year was rapidly coming to close and the new year was about to dawn (12-31-1925). Among those who are left behind are her husband, N.B. Trumbauer, her son, R. H. Trumbauer, her much loved granddaughter Wands Trumbauer, and her brother Chas. L. Howard of Milwaukee. These, with a number of other relatives and a very wide group of friends, will greatly miss her presence from among us. As the close of a summer's day, so is the drawing to a close of the day of life. The quiet, the hush, the beauty, the promise of another day to come. Funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 by the pastor, Rev. T.B. Collins, and were largely attended. Interment was made in the local cemetery, (Graceland Cemetery).
