Kansas, surrounded by his loving family. 
Freddie was raised on a farm outside of Wooldridge, Missouri, until 1976
 when his parents retired from farming and moved to Boonville, Missouri.

Science in Agricultural Engineering and a Master’s Degree in 
Agricultural Engineering. While working at the Kansas State University's
 Colby Branch Experiment Station he earned his Doctoral Degree of 
Agricultural Engineering and subsequently earned his Professional 
Engineering license. 
Freddie was a compassionate person and not only believed but lived a 
life by Luke 12:48, “For unto whom much is given, much is expected.”

as, the College View Baptist Church, Colby After School Program, Thomas 
County Genesis Food Bank, Jana’s Campaign, and donating proceeds from 
his published works to farmers. Freddie enjoyed politics and was always 
up for a lively discussion.

Kenneth B. Moore was born in Berkeley, California on January 11, 
1941, to Lonzo B and Betty Lou Moore. His 9-year-old brother Don 
welcomed him home.&nbsp; Ken died on May 26, 2022, at the age of 81years. He 
is preceded in death by his father, mother, brother, and first wife 
Nettie.

Ken’s father, Lonzo, died when he was 6 years old but was a guiding 
influence through his life.&nbsp; Lonzo was a teacher for a college in 
Berkeley when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Most of Lonzo's students were 
arrested because they were Japanese. This was the first experience that 
contributed to Ken’s later call to a ministry with disenfranchised 
members of society. His family returned to Oklahoma City where Lonzo 
resumed his former position as an attorney writing laws for the Oklahoma
 Legislature. Lonzo also co-authored newspaper articles advocating 
women’s rights, another experience which contributed to Ken’s call to 
ministry and exposed him to the plight of those in less powerful 
positions.

After his father’s death, Ken and his family moved to Memphis, 
Tennessee.&nbsp; He graduated from college in 1963 and felt called to 
minister to people in need. However, Ken was drafted into the Army in 
1963 and spent 2 years as an aide in the Physical Therapy Clinic at Ft. 
Bragg, NC.&nbsp; Following his years of service, Ken married Nettie Bergman. 
They had twin sons-- Jonathan Mark and David Matthew. Ken then completed
 his first master's degree in Old Testament.&nbsp; Following completion of 
seminary, Ken was called into the ministry of law enforcement. As a law 
enforcement officer, Ken served 20 years as patrol officer, 
investigator, undersheriff, sheriff, and chief of police. Additionally, 
Ken served 17 years as a Special Agent in the Army Reserve Criminal 
Investigation Command (CID). As appointed Sheriff of Dickinson County, 
Ken hired the first female patrol deputy for that department. Ken also 
worked closely with the local domestic violence/sexual assault center 
and with drug/alcohol counselors to establish an emergency hotline for 
Dickinson County.

Ken later moved to Hutchinson and taught criminal justice for 15 
years.&nbsp; Many of his former students work in the criminal justice system,
 especially law enforcement. Ken married Dr. Carol Schrock Miller at 
First Mennonite Church in Hutchinson, KS, and became a stepfather to her
 three children, Kristine, James, and Katharine.

Following retirement from teaching, Ken worked part-time doing 
in-home family therapy with families involved in juvenile court 
through-out southcentral Kansas.&nbsp; He then became Director of Reno County
 Community Corrections where he helped develop a drug court that 
continues to serve the community today. Ken continued his work with 
families as a mediator in Restorative Justice’s family group 
conferencing with juvenile offenders and their victims in Wichita and 
Reno County. He also served as a member of the Kansas Advisory Group to 
the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority and represented the State of 
Kansas on the federal Juvenile Justice Committee for the U.S. Justice 
Department's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Ken 
returned to law enforcement in 2013 as Cawker City's law enforcement and

 </figure>Kenneth B. Moore was born in Berkeley, California on January 11, 
1941, to Lonzo B and Betty Lou Moore. His 9-year-old brother Don 
welcomed him home.&nbsp; Ken died on May 26, 2022, at the age of 81years. He 
is preceded in death by his father, mother, brother, and first wife 
Nettie.Ken’s father, Lonzo, died when he was 6 years old but was a guiding 
influence through his life.&nbsp; Lonzo was a teacher for a college in 
Berkeley when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Most of Lonzo's students were 
arrested because they were Japanese. This was the first experience that 
contributed to Ken’s later call to a ministry with disenfranchised 
members of society. His family returned to Oklahoma City where Lonzo 
resumed his former position as an attorney writing laws for the Oklahoma
 Legislature. Lonzo also co-authored newspaper articles advocating 
women’s rights, another experience which contributed to Ken’s call to 
ministry and exposed him to the plight of those in less powerful 
positions.After his father’s death, Ken and his family moved to Memphis, 
Tennessee.&nbsp; He graduated from college in 1963 and felt called to 
minister to people in need. However, Ken was drafted into the Army in 
1963 and spent 2 years as an aide in the Physical Therapy Clinic at Ft. 
Bragg, NC.&nbsp; Following his years of service, Ken married Nettie Bergman. 
They had twin sons-- Jonathan Mark and David Matthew. Ken then completed
 his first master's degree in Old Testament.&nbsp; Following completion of 
seminary, Ken was called into the ministry of law enforcement. As a law 
enforcement officer, Ken served 20 years as patrol officer, 
investigator, undersheriff, sheriff, and chief of police. Additionally, 
Ken served 17 years as a Special Agent in the Army Reserve Criminal 
Investigation Command (CID). As appointed Sheriff of Dickinson County, 
Ken hired the first female patrol deputy for that department. Ken also 
worked closely with the local domestic violence/sexual assault center 
and with drug/alcohol counselors to establish an emergency hotline for 
Dickinson County.Ken later moved to Hutchinson and taught criminal justice for 15 
years.&nbsp; Many of his former students work in the criminal justice system,
 especially law enforcement. Ken married Dr. Carol Schrock Miller at 
First Mennonite Church in Hutchinson, KS, and became a stepfather to her
 three children, Kristine, James, and Katharine.Following retirement from teaching, Ken worked part-time doing 
in-home family therapy with families involved in juvenile court 
through-out southcentral Kansas.&nbsp; He then became Director of Reno County
 Community Corrections where he helped develop a drug court that 
continues to serve the community today. Ken continued his work with 
families as a mediator in Restorative Justice’s family group 
conferencing with juvenile offenders and their victims in Wichita and 
Reno County. He also served as a member of the Kansas Advisory Group to 
the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority and represented the State of 
Kansas on the federal Juvenile Justice Committee for the U.S. Justice 
Department's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Ken 
returned to law enforcement in 2013 as Cawker City's law enforcement and
 code enforcement officer. He retired from his service in 2018.Ken is survived by his wife Dr. Carol Moore, his children Jonathan 
(wife Shelly of Abilene, KS and their daughters – Rachael, (husband 
Cody, Salina, KS), Alyssa (husband Richie and daughter Nora, Salina, 
KS), and Katie (Abilene, KS)), and David (wife Staci, Little Rock, AK),

Margie Lee Veselik was born on May 9, 1930, on a farm in Sherman 
County near Kanorado, Kansas to John and Nora Veselik.&nbsp; The youngest of 
seven children, she was the fond “Little Sister.”&nbsp; She graduated from 
Goodland High School in 1948.&nbsp; Margie lived in Kansas; Omaha, Nebraska; 
Alexandria Virginia and Aurora, Colorado.&nbsp;&nbsp; She had a variety of jobs 
including manager of a clothing store, Trainer for a publishing company,
 window dresser for a department store, and a hostess at the prestigious
 Statler hotel, two blocks north of the White House.&nbsp; She worked in 
Payroll for the US Department of Labor, OSHA Division, retiring from 
that position in 1995.&nbsp; In retirement, she enjoyed working part-time at 
the gift shop at historic Mount Vernon.

Margie will be remembered for her love of children and animals and 
for her gregarious nature.&nbsp; Her talent for decorating and creating 
clothing ensembles is renowned.&nbsp; Most important in her life were her 
family and her faith.&nbsp; She had a deep love for Jesus Christ, a devotion 
for the Blessed Mother, and a special connection to the Infant of Prague
 because her ancestors immigrated from Bohemia.&nbsp;&nbsp; She enjoyed being 
involved in her Parish, The Church of the Risen Christ.&nbsp; She volunteered
 at the Book Nook, Parish Food Bank, and was an usher at the 11 a.m. 
Sunday Mass where she delighted in talking with her fellow Parishioners;
 especially the children.

She lived according to a phrase that she loved, “Thy Will be Done.”&nbsp;&nbsp;
 She believed that the Lord was at her side to guide her through every 
situation.&nbsp; As her health failed, it became apparent that she trusted 
God above all things and that her faith in Him gave her great peace.

Margie was a beloved friend, Aunt, Mother, Grandmother, and Great 
Grandmother.&nbsp; She will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all 
who loved her.
