County echoes statewide vote for Trump

The national outcome of yesterday’s presidential election has yet to be determined, but there’s no question about who won in Daviess County. President Donald J. Trump received an overwhelming endorsement for re-election in local results, receiving 79% of the vote over Democrat rival Joe Biden. Every Republican candidate won on ballots cast in Daviess County except one where Demo-

Preparations underway for new fiber internet Tree trimming by utility workers along Gallatin streets is a sure sign that fiber communications is coming to town. Grundy Electric/MidStates is clearing tree limbs away from the city’s electric poles in preparation for fiber installation. Workers will use the existing electric poles to bring fiber internet access to Gallatin residents and businesses. During the Oct. 26 meeting of the Gallatin Board of Aldermen, Public Works Director Mark Morey provided various purchases and dollar amounts for the board to consider in the 2021 budget. Morey went into more detail regarding purchasing a new dump truck and buckets for the 2003 and blue bucket trucks. The board agreed for the city administrator to collect interest rate bids for purchasing a new dump truck. Additionally, they agreed to purchase a bucket for the 2003 bucket truck this year and purchase the buckets for the 1994 blue bucket truck in 2021. The board agreed for Morey to order salt and sand for the upcoming winter. Morey stated they needed to find a more permanent structure for salt storage within the next year. One option is converting the old water plant backwash basins; however, the basins need to be cleaned out to meet Department of Natural Resources requirements first. Rains and Morey collected bids for removal of the sludge in the old backwash basins, but the

Richmond man dies in highway accident A Richmond man was fatally injured in an accident that occurred yesterday, Nov. 2, in Daviess County. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, David Baugher, 38, Richmond, was southbound on Hwy. 13, driving a 2015 Kenworth tractor-trailer. About three miles north of Hamilton, the vehicle ran off the west side of the roadway, struck a ditch, and overturned. Baugher was pronounced deceased at the scene by Kyle Stith, acting Daviess County Coroner. The accident was investigated by Cpl. S.J. Cool, assisted by Cpl. J.W. George, Tpr. J.P. Lynch and Commercial Vehicle Ofﬁcer R.E. Powell of Troop H and Sgt. H.A. Sears of the Troop A Major Crash Investigative Unit.

cost should go down based on the lab results of the sludge. Discussion was held on resurfacing West Grand and the possibility of a long-term certificate of participation lease option to resurface multiple streets at one time. City Administrator Lance Rains will contact Charlie Zitnik to discuss available lease options. Discussion was held on the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meter system. Morey said they have already installed over half of the updated radio water meters that would be compatible with an AMI system, which will help reduce the cost of an entire AMI system. Proposals for the AMI systems should become available for the last meeting in November. Discussion was held on the residential cost of service fee charge due for multi-dwellings which is currently outlined in the city ordinances. Rains will be contacting the apartment complexes in town that will be affected by the additional cost of service fees. The board reviewed the draft ordinance to authorize multipleunit structures to be billed for cost of service per unit for commercial accounts. Recommendations were provided and Rains will send the draft to Attorney Cowherd for final review. A monthly activity report was submitted by Police Chief Mark Richards as follows: five welfare checks; two domestic disturbances; one lockout; one drug/narcotic activity; one sex assault; one suspicious person, circumstance; one dog at large; one incomplete call; three traffic accident with damage; one noise complaint; one court order violation; one fire; one citizen assist;

one lost property; and one nuisance. There is one dog in the pound. Aldermen discussed the current vicious dog/breed ban ordinance and how dogs that are not vicious dogs are still restricted within the ordinance when they fall within the outlawed breed bans. The board would like to see

examples other vicious dog ordinances to review. Chief Richards also provided prices for new police vehicles through Dodge and Ford, as well as used police vehicle options that might become available from Daviess County or Platte County. (continued on page 3)

OPINION

Nov. 4, 2020

What now?

Editor’s note: For nearly 20 years this newspaper featured the musings of Freida Marie Crump, a pseudonym for award-winning humorist Ken Bradbury who succumbed to cancer in 2018. But his insights about life live on. The following, published in 2014, seems particularly appropriate on this post-election day.

Greetin’s from Poosey. It’s sort of like losing a family member. An irritatin’, pain in the neck relative, but kin nonetheless. Aunt Boolie was some sort of shirttail relation from California who for reasons I never fully understood, came to live with us for a couple months when I was young. Up until that time, my young mind had just assumed that all of my relatives were cut out of the same sane Midwestern cloth. Aunt Boolie, time would prove, was crossstitched. She commandeered the master bedroom and would read the Bible into the late night -- aloud. Very aloud. She insisted on a special diet that to me seemed based more on excessive cost than health needs. I’ve never in my life seen milk gravy with chicken crackin’s on a diet menu. Aunt Boolie would reach down and give me a Dutch rub every time she entered a room. I was too young to hit her back and besides, Dad told me this was a sure sign of affection. This lead me to wish that Aunt Boolie loved somebody else instead. The old gal had a knack of takin’ every conversation hostage and even my kindhearted mother started resortin’ to white lie excuses to leave the room once Aunt Boolie took command of the evenin’. All this would be have been tolerable had it not been for Ralph, her 400-pound collie dog. At least he looked to be every bit of 400 pounds. He was also a grouch. Aunt Boolie would say, “Oh don’t mind Ralph. He’s nearly blind.” This did not help. Ralph would sleep between Aunt Boolie’s room and the bathroom. The men of our family resorted to tinklin’ outdoors of a night while the women somehow rode out the flood in misery until Aunt Boolie would rise and remove that ugly dog from its guard post. Aunt Boolie finally packed up and moved on to irritate another branch of the family tree. We all breathed a sigh of relief as the bag went out the door. But here’s the strange thing: we sort of missed her. In spite of the obnoxious behavior, her selfish lifestyle and the loud scriptures at midnight, Aunt Boolie had provided a sort of amusin’ diversion to the everyday goings on around our home. We didn’t want her back, but we did miss her. I feel that way about the passing of this year’s political campaign. In spite of its irritations, I sort of miss all the hubbub. Hardly anybodys’ called all week. No “Good evening, this is the International Right to Life Committee asking you to support George Bush for President. As you know, George Bush...” Not even a decent, “This is the Americans for Al Gore committee. Unless you want to turn America backward, we urge you to vote for...”. Reminds me of havin’ my teeth pulled. Sure, it’s nice to avoid the dentist but I still yearn for the days when I had somethin’ tough to chew on. Our Sunday School class is left with nothin’ but the scriptures to discuss. The boys down at the coffee shop sit and stare at each other as if one of their confab had just died. Our Ladies Aid Auxiliary Guild’s meetings have been cut down to practically nothin’. Reminds me of what Louella Mixer told me once. Their last son had headed off to college and after 27 years of havin’ kids around the house, she looked across the kitchen table at her husband Floyd and said, “Now tell me again. Who are you?” Herb and I have found ourselves with little to talk about. For the last couple of months we’ve digested the Presidential candidates along with our mornin’ toast. Now we have nothin’ meaningful to argue about. Yesterday I came within two blinks of givin’ the old poop a compliment on his new seed corn hat, but caught myself just in time. Once his candidate or mine gets himself elected, the whole thing becomes one-sided. The party out of power has free reign in the criticism game for the next four years. Playin’ defense is no fun. I’ll miss those third-class pamphlets in my mailbox tellin’ me that if we elect the Democrats we’ll be assured of four more years of all the right stuff -- uh..except for that other stuff, of course. I’ll miss those little slips of paper stuck under my windshield remindin’ me that Jesus was not only a Republican, but that he owned a handgun. Like Aunt Boolie and Ralph, the campaign did make life interestin’ if not exactly enjoyable. Makes me give serious thought to a two-year Presidential term. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door, but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Thoughts on ‘packing the court’

by Congressman Sam Graves

Justice Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court this week, becoming only the fifth woman confirmed to our nation’s highest court and the first female justice ever confirmed with school-aged children. Regardless of your political persuasion, her confirmation is a historic moment in American history. It might have gotten lost in the noise of the presidential election, but today there are numerous cases headed for the Supreme Court that will have a lasting impact on the future of our country. Now, perhaps more than ever, it is critical that the Supreme Court is filled with justices that will interpret our laws and Constitution impartially, fairly, and as they were written, without interjecting their own personal beliefs. That is exactly what Justice Amy Coney Barrett will do. Some have cried foul, claiming that President Trump and the Senate’s decision to fulfill their constitutional duty in fill-

for Major Joseph Daviess, who died in the Battle of Tippecanoe in Indiana in 1811. Five states have a county or township named in Daviess’ honor – Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Illinois. DeKalb County was named for General Johann De Kalb, a German soldier who fought and died for America in the Revolutionary War. Counties in Missouri, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, and Georgia are named for him. George Washington is quoted as describing DeKalb as “the generous stranger who came from a distant land to fight our battles and to water the tree of liberty with his blood.” Gentry County was named for Colonel Richard Gentry.

government. It is nothing more than a selfish political ploy to turn the impartial, independent Supreme Court into some sort of super legislature wherein the chosen few dictate their superior knowledge and wisdom unto the American people. This isn’t a new tactic; it’s been tried before. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried packing the Court in 1937, the American people loudly and rightfully rejected his plan. Although many supported the President and would continue to for years, they were not afraid to stand up and speak out against such a direct assault on our constitutional republic. Leaders from across the political spectrum heeded that advice for nearly a century, but today it seems some have forgotten the lessons of history. Now is the time for the American people to remind them that we will not tolerate packing the Supreme Court with additional justices to bend it to the will of one political party.

of major military installations, including Whiteman Air Force Base and its 509th Bomb Wing, the only Air Force unit that operates the B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, and the United States Army Maneuver Support Center at Ft. Leonard Wood. We are also fortunate to have a Missouri National Guard force of approximately 11,000 citizensoldiers and airmen, some of whom are stationed at Rosecrans Air National Guard, which is critical to our region in northwest Missouri. We clearly have a lot to be thankful for this Veterans Day, and every day. According to the Missouri Veterans Commission, an estimated 384,000 veterans currently live in the Show-Me State — that is nearly half a million reasons why each and every Missourian should find some meaningful way to honor our veterans. This Veterans Day, I encourage you to show your support by donating to a veteran’s organization, volunteering at a veterans home or hospital, or simply taking the time to stop and thank a veteran for their service and sacrifice. Many restaurants and retailers offer discounts and free items for veterans on Veterans Day. Most establishments require a military ID or proof of service, and offers vary by location.

Each of us owe so much to those who have put their lives on the line for our country. The freedoms we enjoy and our way of life as Americans are due to the brave actions of those who served and those who continue to serve. As civilians, we will never know the hardships and challenges faced by our country’s men and women in uniform. Our country’s veterans were there for us, in times of war and in peace, and it’s now up to each of us to have their backs and support them in any way possible.

Honor those in uniform

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

November 11 is Veterans Day, a day our nation sets aside each year to recognize and thank all those, living and dead, who have answered the patriotic call to serve in the United States Armed Forces, whether during a time of war or peace. Our veterans have proudly, courageously and selflessly defended our nation and protected our citizens, and we are all indebted to them. Missouri is home to a number

What’s in a (county’s) name?

Today, Missouri has 115 counties. Well, actually we have 114 counties plus the city of St. Louis, which has the unique distinction in our state constitution of being “a city not within any county.” When Missouri became a state in 1821, we had only 14 counties. The four counties I serve as state representative – Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, and Harrison – were not named counties at that time. All of this area was part of Howard County, which enormously covered all land west of Jefferson City and north of the Missouri River. By the mid-1800s, Howard County would get divided into 23 different counties. Daviess County was named

ing this Supreme Court seat is “illegitimate,” and that’s a load of nonsense. As the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg put it, “the President is elected for four years, not three.” The powers of the presidency and of the Senate extend until Inauguration Day, not some arbitrary deadline set by political pundits before Election Day. That’s why President Obama had every right to nominate Merrick Garland in 2016 and the Senate had every right to refuse to take up his nominee. More recently, we’ve been hearing calls to pack the Supreme Court, adding additional Justices beyond the nine that the Court has traditionally had, undoubtedly trying to fill those new seats with a slew of activist justices to “correct” the perceived “injustice” of the President and the Senate fulfilling their constitutional duties. This short-sighted approach is a direct assault on the separation of powers our Founding Fathers sought in creating three separate, coequal branches of

fought in the War of 1812. After his service, he helped found Columbia, MO, and was elected as its first mayor. He was later asked to return to the military and subsequently died in a battle with Seminole Indians in Florida in 1837. Harrison County was named for U.S. Congressman Albert Harrison. Harrison was elected three times and died in office during his third term in 1839. Harrison is also the namesake of the town of Harrisonville, MO. Seven other states also have a Harrison County, but they are all named for President William Henry Harrison or President Benjamin Harrison. Coincidentally, Harrison, Gentry, and Daviess all grew up in Kentucky.

Missouri’s election night reporting history There are four Missourians who helped develop the systems that provide you with accurate and prompt election night returns. To understand this column, you need to realize that the results reported on election night are neither official nor complete. In fact, Missouri law provides a several-week delay after the election to assure accuracy of the count. State law actually prohibits local election authorities from officially certifying election results until Friday after the election. Then state law gives a state “board of canvassers” several more weeks before announcing the official state results based on those local figures. These delays allow time for recounts in close elections, challenges and delayed receipts of military-overseas ballots. For example, Missouri’s 2018 state general election results were not officially declared by the state board until Nov. 30 -more than three weeks after the election. The absence of official results on election night led national news organizations to establish competing systems to get unofficial results from local election officials. The problem with that approach was demonstrated in 1960 after conflicting reports left the country going to bed unsure whether John Kennedy or Richard Nixon would be the nation’s next president.

The first solution to address this problem came from Elmer Lower -- a Missouri native, Missouri Journalism School graduate and later the school’s dean. As ABC News president, Lower co-founded a more reliable and faster national system to report unofficial returns on election night. Lower’s News Election Services was a consortium of national news organizations that agreed to combine gathby Phill ering and sharing of elecBrooks tion results. But because NES focused on results for national offices, it did not resolve the problem facing Missouri news organizations to get results for state offices. That left some Missouri news organizations to continue to rely on getting returns from local officials. It didn’t work. Missouri Network’s News Director Bob Priddy voiced to me his frustration from conflicting state election-night reports in 1986. Similar to Lower, Priddy became the second Missourian to facilitate getting election-night returns when he created the Missouri Elections Consortium in partnership with another Missourian, Secretary of State Roy Blunt. Under their

plan, Secretary of State staff remained in the office to gather evening returns from county officials and provide them to news organizations that helped finance the costs. The fourth Missourian we should thank for election-night returns is Secretary of State Rebecca Cook. She concluded it was a governmental responsibility to provide Missourians with election-night results, even if unofficial. She had the Secretary of State’s own website post the unofficial electionnight results her staff collected from local election officials. That made the results directly available to all Missourians. On the site’s first election-night, it was so popular that it suffered log-jams from a high demand. I played a small role helping Cook’s office identify the problem -contributing to the reliable election-night service that Missourians enjoy to this day. But the pressure on national news organizations to be first to predict a winner on election night caused another problem. To declare winners before all the results had been counted, some national news organizations relied on exit polls in which voters leaving polling places told

C Capitol apitol P Perspectives erspectives

reporters for whom they voted. An effort to organize these competing national exit polls was organized in 1990 with a national consortium to coordinate election-night projections for presidential and congressional races. The Voter News Service did not last long. The ﬁrst problem arose in 2000 from conﬂicting projections on whether Democrat Al Gore or Republican George Bush had carried Florida. The problem was understandable since a U.S. Supreme Court decision was required to decide the winner. Two years later, VNS was abandoned after its computer system failed. Most, if not all, news organizations now avoid declaring winners based on exit polls, although those polls continue to provide a better understanding of voter demographics and voting motivations. I owe deep thanks to Bob Priddy, the true founder of Missouri’s election-night reporting system, for helping me with this column. Editor’s note: Phill Brooks has been a Missouri statehouse reporter since 1970, making him dean of the statehouse press corps. He is the statehouse correspondent for KMOX Radio, director of MDN and an emeritus faculty member of the Missouri School of Journalism. He has covered every governor since Warren Hearnes.

Curbside drop-off for Operation Christmas Child More than 4,000 locations will now offer a curbside drop-off option for the Samaritan’s Purse project, Operation Christmas Child, including the Pattonsburg First Baptist Church. Volunteers are preparing to collect shoebox gifts during National Collection Week, Nov. 16 ¬– 23. Donors will be greeted at curbside drop offs by volunteers wearing personal protective equipment. Operation Christmas Child has been collecting and delivering shoebox gifts—filled with school supplies, hygiene items and fun toys—to children worldwide for more than two decades. This is a project that everyone can still be a part of, even with COVID-19 restrictions.

There’s still time for individuals, families, and groups to transform empty shoeboxes into fun gifts. The project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children in need. “In the midst of the pandemic, the needs are greater than ever before,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse. “Children around the world need to know that God loves them and there is hope. A simple shoebox gift opens the door to share about the true hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ.” Visit our website at https:// www.samaritanspurse.org/ to find the nearest drop-off loca-

tion and hours of operation. The online lookup tool is searchable by city or zip code. Signs at each location will identify the curbside drop off. You can also find a step-by-step guide on how to pack a shoebox. Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, seeks to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world and, together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 178 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries and territories.

Hamilton man charged with murder

Pictured is Tony Peters of Linn, who harvested this buck as part of a mentored hunt in Putnam County.

Early youth hunters harvest 102 deer Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that young hunters from Daviess County ages six through 15 harvested 102 deer during Missouri’s early youth portion of the 2020 deer hunting season, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. Of those deer, 68 were antlered bucks; 7 were button bucks; and 27 were does. Across the state 15,841 deer were harvested and top counties were Franklin with youth hunters harvesting 343 deer, Howell with 327, and Osage with 325. Missouri’s deer archery season continues through Nov. 13 and resumes Nov. 25 through Jan. 15, 2021. The November portion of firearms deer season runs Nov. 14-24 followed by the late youth portion Nov. 27-29. The antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Dec. 4-6 followed by the alternative methods portion Dec. 26 through Jan. 5, 2021. Professional Processors MDC encourages hunters who will have their deer professionally processed to check with meat processors about their availability to process

deer this fall. Some meat processors around the state are reporting higher-than-normal business and may not be accepting deer for processing or will have significant delays in processing deer. CWD Testing MDC will continue to offer statewide voluntary sampling and testing of harvested deer for chronic wasting disease (CWD) during the entire deer season at select locations throughout the state, including participating MDC offices, cooperating taxidermists, and new freezer head-drop locations. Sampling and test results are free. MDC reminds deer hunters to follow carcass movement restrictions that are in effect to slow the spread of CWD. Get more information on CWD, sampling station locations, and related regulations online at www.mdc. mo.gov/CWD. Find more information on deer hunting from MDC’s 2020 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet, available where hunting permits are sold and online at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/ ZXv.

Cold weather rule begins Nov. 1 The Missouri Public Service Commission’s Cold Weather Rule, designed to help customers with heat-related utility bills, begins on Nov. 1, 2020. The rule will remain in effect through March 31, 2021. It has been a part of the Commission’s rules and regulations since 1977. The Cold Weather Rule applies to natural gas and electric utilities under PSC jurisdiction that provide heat-related service. Municipally operated systems, cooperatives and those that provide propane delivered by truck are not under PSC jurisdiction. The Cold Weather Rule: • Prohibits the disconnection of heat-related service when the temperature is predicted to drop below 32 degrees during the following 24-hour period. • Provides more lenient payment terms permitting reconnection of service for natural gas and/or electric customers. • Allows customers to budget payments over 12 months. • Requires that customers be notified by mail 10 days before the date the utility intends to shut off service; an attempt be made to contact the customer within 96 hours before the shut off; an attempt be made to contact the customer right before the shut off; and that notice is left at the home when service has been shut off. • Requires the customer be notified of possible financial help in paying the utility bill. • Allows for the reconnection of service for less than the

Nov. 5 – 6 Earlier in the week: Route M was closed for a culvert replacement on Nov. 2-3 and Route RA was closed for a culvert replacement from 314th Street to Route 190 on Nov. 3. Inclement weather may cause schedule changes in some of the planned work. There may also be moving operations throughout the region such as pothole patching, mowing, striping, signal work, etc., in addition to the work mentioned below.

full amount owed. A customer may register with the utility if: • They are 65 years of age or older; • Disabled to the extent that they have filed with the utility a form submitted by a medical physician attesting that their household must have natural gas or electric utility service provided in the home to maintain life or health; or • They have obtained a formal award letter issued from the federal government of disability benefits. A customer, registered with the utility company as elderly or disabled, will receive additional notifications prior to a proposed discontinuance of service during the Cold Weather Rule period. They may also be eligible for additional minimum payment arrangements. If a customer is faced with a heat-related utility bill that cannot be paid in full, it is important to: 1. Contact the utility company. 2. State an inability to pay the bill in full. 3. Provide monthly or annual income information. 4. Make a minimum payment.

5. Enter into a payment agreement. For more information on the PSC’s Cold Weather Rule, please see the Commission’s website at www.psc.mo.gov or call the Commission’s Consumer Services hotline at 1-800392-4211. Consumers can also receive Cold Weather Rule information from their local natural gas or electric company or the local community action agency. In addition, there may

be additional assistance programs available to consumers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SCHOOL/SPORTS

Gallatin not alone in cancelling FB season Like so many other high school football teams in Missouri, Gallatin fell victim to COVID-19 and saw its season end without a chance to compete in the playoffs. The Bulldogs were slated to travel to Hamilton to face the Hornets in the first round of Class 1, District 7. Gallatin wasn’t the only D7 team forced to drop out of the race. Putnam County reported a positive COVID case as well and as a result forfeited to South Harrison on Friday night.

SEASON PASS by Dennis Cox District 7 semifinals for this week are set. #4 Hamilton travels to #1 South Harrison. #3 Princeton will head to #2 Milan in the other contest to determine the district’s championship matchup. In District 8, #1 Mid-Buchanan will host #5 Polo and #2 East Buchanan will host #3 West Platte on Friday. Pattonsburg, the #4 ranked team in 8-Man, District 3, won by forfeit over Albany last week and will now travel to face #1 North Andrew on Friday. The list of program cancellations is long and includes at least 23 schools who have either opted out of the season early or were forced to call it quits. The list includes teams from Missouri 8-man all the way up to Class 6. According to Mosports. com, teams that never made it

to the playoffs include Albany, Braymer, St. Paul Lutheran’s, St. Joe Christian, St. Joe Central, St. Joe LeBlond, Keytesville, Greenfield, Gallatin, Putnam County, Schuyler County, Slater, Doniphan, Parkview, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Cape Girardeau Central, Hollister, Portageville, Lee’s Summit North, Lutheran South, Perryville, Principia, Poplar Bluff, Rockhurst and Oak Park. The next round of cancellations has already started. Holt High School in Wentzville has dropped out now after winning its first round contest in Class 6, District 2. Social media is currently abuzz about whether teams who lost their first round games should be able to advance if their first round opponent then drops out prior to the semifinal games being held. At this point it would be unrealistic to believe that there won’t be more cancellations before Friday night. So far, the Missouri State High School Activities Association is mum on the subject.

I would like to thank the voters of Daviess County that supported me in this election. I am very grateful and honored to have been able to serve as your assessor, but unfortunately I will not be serving another term. God is still in control and He has other plans for me. He doesn’t close one door unless He’s opening another one! I will miss seeing each and every one of you that came into my office and I will treasure those friendships that were developed. Hopefully our paths will still cross some time. Til then, take care and God Bless! ~Sally

Lonnie Rex Carter passed away peacefully at his home on Oct. 28, 2020, after losing his battle with COPD and other complications at the age of 78. He was born on Nov. 14, 1941, in the Green bottoms near McFall to Frank Pierce and Lois Pauline (Mooney) Carter. He grew up on his parent's farm north of McFall. He attended school in McFall until McFall consolidated with Pattonsburg. He graduated in 1959. Then he attended a railroad school before enlisting in the Army. After basic training and another school, he was transferred to Germany for almost two years. He really enjoyed Germany and toured most of Europe. He told his family that he worked in a classified message center. When he arrived each morning for duty, they locked him inside. His family thought that was a great idea! After his discharge from the Army he worked in Kansas City for a railroad, but he didn't like working for them. Then he was a warehouse manager before joining the North Kansas City Police Department. He served several years on the force attaining the rank of sergeant. On May 3, 1964, Lonnie married Betty L Newby in Kansas City. They had three children: Sandra, Cynthia, and Christopher. Raising three children on a policeman's salary was tough. Lonnie changed his occupation to truck driver, transporting new cars from the manufacturer to the dealer. He transferred to Oklahoma and worked there until he retired 30 plus years later. He married Christine (Ancona) Middleton. Their children were: Frank Kearney, Michael Kearney, James Carter, and Clinton Carter. He married Merry Annette Riddle on March 18, 1982, in Grayson, TX. Their children were: Larry “Butch” Mitchell and Jennifer Mitchell. Lonnie was an avid horseman and aviator. He was instrument qualified, multi-engine qualified, and owned his own plane. He was a reserve deputy sheriff in Oklahoma and would use his plane to fly search operations for the sheriff's department. He owned and trained mules to pull his wagon on long treks in a wagon train. He was a team roper and entered a lot of contests and actually won a couple or more. He was preceded in death by his wife, Merry; his parents, Frank and Lois; and his brother, Jimmy. He is survived by his daughters, Sandra (Gallus), Cynthia “Cindy” (Jones), Jennifer Carter; sons, Christopher, Frank Kearney, Michael Kearney, James, Clinton, Butch Mitchell; 19 grandchildren; sister, Juanita Wilcox, TN; brothers, Earl (Jo Ann), McFall, Larry (Mary), Pattonsburg, and Sam (Janet), Stewartsville, and many nieces and nephews who all loved him. Lonnie was gruff acting, but a pushover whenever one was in need. He will be missed by a ton of friends and relatives. Funeral Services with Military Rites was held at 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gallatin, under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home, Pattonsburg. Masks will be required in the church. Inurnment will be held at a later date in McFall Cemetery.

When we pray for others, God honors our commitment to Him and our dependence on His power by employing all of the resources of heaven to transform human lives. As our prayers ascend to His throne, angelic beings spring into action at His command. "Ministering angels are waiting about the throne to instantly obey the mandate of Jesus Christ to answer every prayer offered in earnest, living faith" We have the assurance that not one prayer is lost, not one is forgotten by God. They are stored up in heaven to be answered at the time and place that He knows best. "The prayer of faith is never lost; but to claim that it will be always answered in the very way and for the particular thing we have expected, is presumption. What encouragement this gives us as we intercede for our spouses, our sons and daughters, relatives, friends, and work associates who do not know Christ. Not one sincere prayer is ever lost. We may not always see immediate answers in those we pray for, but God is moving upon their hearts in ways we will know only in eternity. "Desire of Ages", submitted by Karen Reed
