| 1258 | At Rest. One of Newton county's most respected citizens has passed from labor to rest. Mr. George W. Carpenter was born in Cooper county, Mo., Nov. 27, 1842. Was married to Miss Hettie A. Pulley in Pettis county, Mo. Dec. 23, 1964. To this union was born seven children, four boys and three girls. All of them are living except one girl. who died in infancy. The children are all grown and married and are living in Newton county. All of them doing well. All of them are members of the Mt. Olive Baptist church except one. Bro. Carpenter moved from Cooper county to Ark., and lived there a short time, then moved to Newton county. Mo, and settled the farm where he died. Hi professed faith in Christ in Sept., 1873. while at work on his farm. He at once united with the Liberty Baptist church, and in the spring of 1874 was ordained a deacon. The Liberty church went down and he united with the Baptist church at Jolly, and later on went in to the organization of the Mt. Olive church of which he was a faithful, devoted member and deacon till death. He was a success as a farmer and by hard work and honest dealings bad gathered about him considerable property. He was in poor health for more than a year and was taken bad with stomach trouble last February from which he suffered greatly. He bore his suffering with great patience, and was never heard to murmur, but often expressed himself as ready and willing to go. He arranged all of his business some time ago, and patiently waited the summons which came at 3:30 A M. June 20, 1903. The family were all at his bedside when the end came, and he sweetly and peacefully passed away without a struggle. Everything that loving hands and skilled physicians could do was done, but to no avail. He was a kind and affectionate husband, a tender and loving father, a generous and honorable citizen, and a consecrated and humble follower of the Blessed Master. He will be greatly missed in the home, in the church and in the community. The funeral was conducted by the writer June 21, at 11 A M in the Mt Olive church, in the presence of the largest assembly I have ever met at that place, after which his body was laid to rest in the Mt. Olive cemetery to await the resurrection trumpet. Bro. Carpenter donated the land for the cemetery and was the first one buried in it. May the good Lord bless the bereaved family, and the sorrowing church. J T. BRATTIN. | Carpenter, George W. (I3463)

| 1279 | Gordon G. Bledsoe 1948-2020 MOUND CITY, Mo. — Gordon G. Bledsoe, 72, of Mound City, passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020, due to illness. He was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania on Aug. 2, 1948, to Merrill Bledsoe and Helen McConnell, who preceded him in death. He is survived by: his wife, Elaine Bledsoe of Mound City; son, Jared Bledsoe (Dawn) of Texas; daughters, Corey Olauson (Rich) of Kansas and Lacey Carlsruh (Daniel) of Wisconsin; sister, Amanda Bledsoe of Forest City, Missouri; and 16 grandchildren: Mark, Sydney, Isaac, Allison, and Grace Bledsoe; AJ, Riley, Denna, Eric, and Sariah Olauson and David, Grace, Lily, Seth, Caleb, and Spencer Carlsruh; his lunch buddy, Kirby; and many other loving family and friends. Gordon served in the United States Army from 1969 to 1974 and was awarded the Bronze Star. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon knew that families can be together forever. He was a loving son, brother, husband, and fa- ther, but his favorite title was grandpa. To his grandkids he was proudly known as A-pa. Gordon was passionate about four things in life: his faith, his family, things that go fast and rock-and- roll. He had the best laugh. Gordon and Elaine were married for over 50 years and although he never convinced her to put on some leather chaps and hop on the back of his Harley, she would take a ride in his Corvette. Are there Harleys in heaven? If there are, Gordon will be riding one, no helmet necessary. Gordon's family wishes to thank everyone for their many thoughts and prayers. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Holt County Toy & Benevolent Fund or the Mound City State Theater, in Gordon's name. The family will gather with friends from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, at Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory. Private Service and Entombment: Memorial Park Mausoleum.

| 1294 | John L. Bennett 1939-2021 LANSING, Kan. — John Bennett, husband of Helen Bennett, of Lansing, died peacefully at his nursing home on Saturday, April 10, 2021. John was born in 1939, on his parents' farm in Andrew County near King City, Missouri, to Joseph Curtis and Aileen Bennett. He had one brother, Wilton Bennett. In 1959, John and Helen were married at Berlin Baptist Church, Missouri. John grew up on his parents' farm. Both his mother and father were avid readers and they "had a great library at home" and they all read in the evenings. John remembered they didn't get electricity (and a gravel road) until he was nine years old, and a radio when he was 10. From 1949 to 1958, in addition to working his father's farm, John was self-employed managing a flock of 100 sheep and producing 40 acres of corn and oats. This paid for his college education. He also hired himself out to neighbors as a farmhand, at $1 an hour. In 1957, John graduated from King City High School and in 1961, he graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Rural Sociology. In 1961, John was commissioned in the Army as a 2nd Lieutenant, his career branch was Field Artillery. John's first assignment was in the 101st Airborne Division at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. He remembered in 1962, being ready to load up on an airplane with his parachute gear during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but they never got the order to go. John had various assignments at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, Ft. Bliss, Texas, Korea, Vietnam, Colorado College teaching ROTC, West Germany (Pershing Missile), and Ft. Polk, Louisian. He eventually retired, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In 1982, he moved to Lansing, where he had a career as a civil servant working for the Army at Ft. Leavenworth. John never forgot his love of farming. In Lansing, for many years, he maintained two gardens, giving away much of his produce to neighbors and the needy. When not "working", John had many varied interests. Served on the various church committees, Lansing City Council, the Lansing Tree Board, was a member of the Kansas PRIDE Program (an organization for small towns in Kansas to improve the quality of life) and was a principal in organizing Lansing Daze. He was also active in the Boy Scouts of America in Texas, Colorado and Louisiana. He was a member of the Lansing Lions, Pilot Knob HAM Radio group, and the KCBS BBQ Society as a judge and rep. He was also a member of the American Legion, VFW, DAV. He was also a member of the ROMEOs Breakfast Group. John was preceded in death by his brother, Wilton Bennett. He is survived by: his wife, Helen and sons, Craig Bennett (Susan) of Reston, Virginia and David Bennett (Karen) of Huntsville, Alabama; and grandchildren, Nat Bennett and AJ van Tine (Ada), all living in California; as well as many nieces and nephews and grown neighbor kids, that still call him grandpa.
