They lived in the Cozad area and several other Nebraska locations while his father pursued work during the depression. Dick attended all 12 years of school in Cozad District 11, other than a short time at Dawson Co. Rural District 26.

Dick was a member of the Cozad United Methodist Church. He was always available and delighted to be involved in many local celebrations and projects beneficial to Cozad.

His lifelong interest in airplanes led him to building, flying, and competing with radio controlled model airplanes. he also enjoyed restoring and driving antique cars.

One of Dick and Anne's favorite trips was in 1990 when they shipped their small 1952 British MG roadster to England with a group of 88 cars of the same vintage. They drove 2500 miles from the Northern tip of Scotland to the Southern tip of England. Lana was able to join them for on week during their stay in Abingdon, England where all MG's were manufactured until 1980.

L.D. Walker  (1942-2020)

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kenneth “Ken” Lee Childerston was born December 12, 1938 in Hyannis, Nebraska to Harold and Maxine (Garrett) Childerston. He died September 24, 2020 at Great Plains Health in North Platte, Nebraska due to complications from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kenny (as he was often times called as a youth) became an Eagle Scout with Silver Palm in May 1956. Ken graduated from North Platte High School in 1957. He attended college in McCook graduating in 1959. He served in the army reserves, spending six months at Fort Ord, California.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ken worked at Armour Meat Packing Plant in North Platte for seven years until the operation closed. He spent the next 25 years as an auditor for the state of Nebraska auditing courthouses. As systems changed, he continued auditing courthouses for two different private firms until 2007 when he retired. Ken even found his wife, Anita Schocke Blake, while auditing the courthouse in Gering, Nebraska. They married in 1974 and Ken became step-dad to four, Jolynn, Craig, Janet “Jan”, and Brenda, although only the two youngest, Janet and Brenda Blake, moved to North Platte.&nbsp; Ken and Anita celebrated 46 years of marriage in 2020. They enjoyed spending winters in Mesa, Arizona after their retirement. Although Ken spent many nights away from home as his work took him from courthouse to courthouse in the western half of Nebraska, he was always ready with suitcase in hand to take a trip, often times with one or several “grands” in tow.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ken was a kind, gentle man with a dry sense of humor. He loved working with numbers, his birthday 12-12-38 was his favorite. He enjoyed working Sudoku puzzles wherever he could find one. He even liked to balance his checkbook; in fact, he balanced his checkbook in the hospital 10 hours before he died. Ken lived at Lake Maloney for 50 years and was happiest when surrounded by family who came to fish, water ski, or play in the water. He loved watching sports and following grandkids activities. He was a wealth of statistical information about college and pro sports.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ken was preceded in death by parents: Harold and Maxine Childerston; brother, Bernard E. Childerston; mother-in-law, Elisabeth Schocke; grandparents, James and Anna Childerston and Walter and Edna Garrett.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He is survived by wife, Anita Childerston of North Platte; sister Joanne (Roger) Henrichson, Lincoln; sister-in-law, Eileen Childerston of Lincoln. Step-children: Jolynn Hacker, Hebron; Craig Blake, Cedar City, UT; Janet “Jan” (Paul Koubek) Blake, North Platte; Brenda Tobey, North Platte. Grandchildren: Ryan Blake, Gering, NE; Erin (Greg) Feather, Gothenburg, NE; Sky (Brandon) Seery, North Platte; Bradley (Tami) Hacker, Hershey, NE; Levi (Angela) Shute, Rapid City, SD; Jennifer (Scott Kimball) Hiller, Cozad, NE; Tiffany (Mark) Johnson, Cairo, NE; Morgan (Chris) Matthews, Las Vegas, NV; Matthew Hiller, North Platte; Dr. Robert James “RJ” Shute, Charlottesville, VA; Spencer (Jordan) Shute, Whitman, MA; Tyler (Amy) Blake, North Platte; Trevor Blake, North Platte; Tracy (Kash Houser) Blake, North Platte; Jacob Tobey, North Platte; and Jamie Tobey, North Platte.

Geraldine Louise Fowler  (1944-2020)

Terry Lee Correll, age 62, of Tryon, Nebraska took his last breath in his home lovingly surrounded by his immediate family at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2020, but was given September 20, 2020 as an official date of death.&nbsp; His body was worn out from a courageous battle with cancer.

Terry was born on December 31, 1957 in Alliance, Nebraska to Lenard 'Rusty' Correll and Rita (Dobbins) Correll.&nbsp; He attended elementary school in Chappell, Nebraska through the 4th grade.&nbsp; The family then moved to Tryon, Nebraska where he attended school at McPherson County through his sophomore year.&nbsp; He finished his junior and senior year in high school at Stapleton Public Schools in Stapleton, Nebraska where he graduated with the Class of 1976.

He furthered his education by attending Chadron State College where he rodeoed collegiately and professionally, earning his pro-card early on and winning 2 College Regional Championships.&nbsp; He completed college with a degree in Accounting.

After a period of managing the Crawford, Nebraska Sale Barn and continuing to rodeo professionally, he moved home from Texas at the height of his rodeo career to help on the family ranch during his father's illness.&nbsp; Around 1986, Terry partnered with Tom Wiplinger to own and operate T &amp; T Rodeo Company for several years.&nbsp; They held nightly rodeos in North Platte, Nebraska and supplied stock for high school and amateur rodeos in the area.&nbsp; Fun fact:&nbsp; right before Terry 'hung up his chaps' as a pro rodeo competitor, he rode all three of the barebacks he drew and won the Stapleton, Arthur and Hyannis rodeos - ending on a winning streak.&nbsp; It was around this time that Terry also 'hung his shingle' at Ringgold, Nebraska as a professional horse trainer where he trained horses in all disciplines and held training clinics, but later, on the ranch, he would specialize in training cutting horses.&nbsp; He served as an officer for the Western Nebraska Cutting Horse Association and the Cutting Horse Association of Nebraska.

In 1997, Terry met Julie on a blind date, set up through a mutual friend, Dave Kapperman.&nbsp; They quickly discovered they shared the 'love of a good horse' and she moved from&nbsp; Lincoln, Nebraska to the Sandhills, with a teaching job, so they could be together more easily.&nbsp; Terry purchased a ranch at that time where they resided, marrying Julie on June 5, 1999.&nbsp; In the last 20 some years, Terry fulfilled his dreams of training and showing the best horses and raising a family.&nbsp; Anyone who visited with Terry would soon learn that some of his fondest memories included traveling the world with his family building their Xyngular business, hunting the best buck, ranching &amp; rodeo life, suporting his daughters' activities, including teaching them how to ride and play basketball and hauling them many miles up and down the road to cutting shows.&nbsp; He was always so proud of their accomplishments.

Terry's faith in God's 'perfect plan' was important to him as he witnessed to everyone he met through his actions and his words.&nbsp; He and Julie were in fact re-baptized in the Dismal River early in their marriage.&nbsp; He was always very warm and genuine, never met a stranger, and never had an enemy.&nbsp; He was generous with his abilities and talents, time, resources, compliments, and friendship.&nbsp; He was a true cowboy, Godly family man, and his advice and opinions were sought after and highly respected by others.

Survivors include his wife, Julie and his daughters Gracie, Faith, and Hope Correll, all of Tryon, Nebraska; his mother Rita Correll of Tryon Nebraska; his brother, Kent (Cindy) Correll of Forth Worth, Texas; sisters Shelly (Mark) Lovitt of Tryon, Nebraska and Deanne (Brad) Jenkins of Omaha, Nebraska; brother-in-laws Rod (Linda) Goes of Wymore, Nebraska, Stan Goes of Lincoln, Nebraska, Bruce Goes of Wymore, Nebraska, Mark (Patricia) Goes of Odell, Nebraska and Scott (Stacy) Goes of Cortland, Nebraska; along with numerous aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and cousins whom he loved very much.

He was preceded in death by his father, Rusty; his grandparents Ray &amp; Margaret Dobbins and Frank &amp; Eva Correll; and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Bernard &amp; Velda Goes.

Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time at McPherson County High School in Tryon, Nebraska with Rev. Jim Streicker from Bethel Evangelical Free Church and Pastor Jon Parsons from Ringgold Free Methodist Church officiating.&nbsp; Visitation and book signing will be from noon to 8:00 p.m. with card reading and memory sharing from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Friday, September 25, 2020 at Adams &amp; Swanson Funeral Home at 421 West 4th Street in North Platte, Nebraska.&nbsp; A memorial has been established to support the children's educational funding, or a donation may be made for the family's choice to be determined at a later date.

The service will also be live streamed via Adams &amp; Swanson Funeral Home Facebook page for those unable to attend in person.&nbsp; Online condolences and sharing of memories can be made at www.adamsswanson.com.&nbsp; Adams &amp; Swanson Funeral Home in North Platte, Nebraska is in charge of arrangements.

The family has selected Prairie Friends &amp; Flowers to handle the floral arrangements.

 </figure>Terry Lee Correll, age 62, of Tryon, Nebraska took his last breath in his home lovingly surrounded by his immediate family at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2020, but was given September 20, 2020 as an official date of death.&nbsp; His body was worn out from a courageous battle with cancer.Terry was born on December 31, 1957 in Alliance, Nebraska to Lenard 'Rusty' Correll and Rita (Dobbins) Correll.&nbsp; He attended elementary school in Chappell, Nebraska through the 4th grade.&nbsp; The family then moved to Tryon, Nebraska where he attended school at McPherson County through his sophomore year.&nbsp; He finished his junior and senior year in high school at Stapleton Public Schools in Stapleton, Nebraska where he graduated with the Class of 1976.He furthered his education by attending Chadron State College where he rodeoed collegiately and professionally, earning his pro-card early on and winning 2 College Regional Championships.&nbsp; He completed college with a degree in Accounting.After a period of managing the Crawford, Nebraska Sale Barn and continuing to rodeo professionally, he moved home from Texas at the height of his rodeo career to help on the family ranch during his father's illness.&nbsp; Around 1986, Terry partnered with Tom Wiplinger to own and operate T &amp; T Rodeo Company for several years.&nbsp; They held nightly rodeos in North Platte, Nebraska and supplied stock for high school and amateur rodeos in the area.&nbsp; Fun fact:&nbsp; right before Terry 'hung up his chaps' as a pro rodeo competitor, he rode all three of the barebacks he drew and won the Stapleton, Arthur and Hyannis rodeos - ending on a winning streak.&nbsp; It was around this time that Terry also 'hung his shingle' at Ringgold, Nebraska as a professional horse trainer where he trained horses in all disciplines and held training clinics, but later, on the ranch, he would specialize in training cutting horses.&nbsp; He served as an officer for the Western Nebraska Cutting Horse Association and the Cutting Horse Association of Nebraska.In 1997, Terry met Julie on a blind date, set up through a mutual friend, Dave Kapperman.&nbsp; They quickly discovered they shared the 'love of a good horse' and she moved from&nbsp; Lincoln, Nebraska to the Sandhills, with a teaching job, so they could be together more easily.&nbsp; Terry purchased a ranch at that time where they resided, marrying Julie on June 5, 1999.&nbsp; In the last 20 some years, Terry fulfilled his dreams of training and showing the best horses and raising a family.&nbsp; Anyone who visited with Terry would soon learn that some of his fondest memories included traveling the world with his family building their Xyngular business, hunting the best buck, ranching &amp; rodeo life, suporting his daughters' activities, including teaching them how to ride and play basketball and hauling them many miles up and down the road to cutting shows.&nbsp; He was always so proud of their accomplishments.Terry's faith in God's 'perfect plan' was important to him as he witnessed to everyone he met through his actions and his words.&nbsp; He and Julie were in fact re-baptized in the Dismal River early in their marriage.&nbsp; He was always very warm and genuine, never met a stranger, and never had an enemy.&nbsp; He was generous with his abilities and talents, time, resources, compliments, and friendship.&nbsp; He was a true cowboy, Godly family man, and his advice and opinions were sought after and highly respected by others.Survivors include his wife, Julie and his daughters Gracie, Faith, and Hope Correll, all of Tryon, Nebraska; his mother Rita Correll of Tryon Nebraska; his brother, Kent (Cindy) Correll of Forth Worth, Texas; sisters Shelly (Mark) Lovitt of Tryon, Nebraska and Deanne (Brad) Jenkins of Omaha, Nebraska; brother-in-laws Rod (Linda) Goes of Wymore, Nebraska, Stan Goes of Lincoln, Nebraska, Bruce Goes of Wymore, Nebraska, Mark (Patricia) Goes of Odell, Nebraska and Scott (Stacy) Goes of Cortland, Nebraska; along with numerous aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and cousins whom he loved very much.He was preceded in death by his father, Rusty; his grandparents Ray &amp; Margaret Dobbins and Frank &amp; Eva Correll; and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Bernard &amp; Velda Goes.Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time at McPherson County High School in Tryon, Nebraska with Rev.
