Terry D. Draper, age 75, of Edison, Nebraska, passed peacefully on July 
30, 2022, after a brief battle with cancer. He arrived in this world on 
June 9, 1947, born to Donal “Dale” and Viletha (Hougnon) Draper in 
Holdrege, Nebraska. 
Terry made his home in Edison his entire life. Being an only child, his 
neighbors and friends were very important to him. He graduated 8th grade
 from Edison Public School, then transferred to Arapahoe High School 
where he graduated in 1965. Terry was a standout in athletics and went 
on to play football at McCook Junior College, in McCook, Nebraska, where
 he graduated in 1967. 
Terry married his high school sweetheart, Jeanette Debban on February 5,
 1966, in Arapahoe. Terry and Jeanette celebrated 56 years of marriage 
this year. To this union two children were born, Jodi and Chad. 
Terry spent his life working in agriculture. He farmed near Edison and 
Beaver City. He enjoyed feeding cattle and hauling grain. At one time he
 had 800 head of sheep, about which many funny stories can be told. He 
passed his love for agriculture to his son, Chad and grandson, JD. 
Terry treasured his Sunday morning coffee with any friend who stopped by
 his famous garage. He also loved Nebraska Cornhusker football, and you 
could always count on the Husker game to be on (sometimes only for a 
while, depending on the score) at his house. Terry was very proud of his
 grandson, Noah Stafursky (#62) who currently plays for the Huskers. 
Terry enjoyed his time spent camping, either at the lake or at JD’s 
rodeo events throughout his high school and college careers. Terry was 
particularly proud of JD’s third-place finish at the 2019 National 
Intercollegiate Rodeo Association finals. Terry and Jeanette enjoyed 
visiting south Texas for part of the winter the last few years. 
Terry lived a life full of family and friends. He loved his 
grandchildren and was very proud of their achievements. He will be 
fondly remembered as being a loving Husband, Father, Grandfather, 
Neighbor and Friend. Even though he was famous for gritting his teeth, 
he had a soft heart and was the first to help anyone. 
Terry was preceded in death by his parents and his in-laws, Orvin A. and
 Twyla Debban. Terry is survived by his wife, Jeanette, of Edison; 
daughter, Jodi Draper, of York, Nebraska; son, Chad (Kelly) Draper, of 
Oakley, Kansas; granddaughter, Olivia Stafursky and fiancé Jacob 
Sattley, of LaVista, Nebraska; grandsons, JD Draper (girlfriend Kinzie 
Alexander), of Oakley, and Noah Stafursky (fiancé Maddie Dosek) of 
Lincoln; sisters-in-law, Antoinette (Bob) Williams, of Loomis, Nebraska 
and Elizabeth Trail, of Holdrege, Nebraska; and brother-in-law, Orvin 
Debban, of Holdrege. 
Services are pending in Edison. Baalmann Mortuary is handling the 
arrangements. For information or condolences visit

Harry Crawford Purdum IV passed away on July 28, 2022, at his home in 
Stockton, KS at the age of 56. He was born on February 1, 1966, to Harry
 C. Purdum III and Willardene Ellen (Davis) Purdum in Salt Lake City, 
Utah. 
 Harry grew up mostly in Idaho as he attended 4th through 11th grade 
in Mountain Home. While in high school in Mountain Home, he was the 
football team photographer. His senior year the family moved to North 
Dakota where he graduated from Minot High School in 1984.

After high 
school, he went to work at the local nursing home as a Dietary Aid for a
 year and then continued as a Dietary Aid for the nursing home in 
Clovis, New Mexico for a year. He then moved back home to Idaho and from
 1987-2005 he worked as a Dietary Aid in Boise, and then Albertson’s 
Food Market as a produce Manager in Mountain Home, and later 
Featherville, where he lived in the mountains and worked for Trinity 
Springs Water Company until 2005. He then moved to Stockton where he 
provided various handyman and carpentry work to the community.
 Harry loved hunting and fishing, and he thoroughly enjoyed 
collecting rocks and gemstones which he designated an entire room in his
 house for. He also enjoyed gardening and took pride in taking care of 
his lawn as well as his parents’ lawn. Harry was as reliable as they 
come; he would always find a way when there was no way – even if it 
meant snowshoeing to work when no one else was able to get there! Harry 
will be greatly missed by those he leaves behind. Although he left us 
too soon, we are rejoicing with the angels as he enters his heavenly 
home, anticipating the time when we will see him again and be reunited 
together in eternity. 
 Harry is survived by his parents, Harry and Willardene; brother, 
Willard (Tiffany) Purdum of Rock Springs, WY; sister, Ellen (Dewey) 
Bateman of Lubbock, TX; nieces, Isabelle and Violet Purdum, Jessica 
(Cameron) Scott, and Danae Fish; and great-nephews, Ezra and Charlie 
Scott.
 A memorial service will be held on Monday, August 8, 2022, at 11:00 
AM at the funeral home in Stockton with a graveside service to follow in

come; he would always find a way when there was no way – even if it 
meant snowshoeing to work when no one else was able to get there! Harry 
will be greatly missed by those he leaves behind. Although he left us 
too soon, we are rejoicing with the angels as he enters his heavenly 
home, anticipating the time when we will see him again and be reunited 
together in eternity. 
 Harry is survived by his parents, Harry and Willardene; brother, 
Willard (Tiffany) Purdum of Rock Springs, WY; sister, Ellen (Dewey) 
Bateman of Lubbock, TX; nieces, Isabelle and Violet Purdum, Jessica 
(Cameron) Scott, and Danae Fish; and great-nephews, Ezra and Charlie 
Scott.
 A memorial service will be held on Monday, August 8, 2022, at 11:00 
AM at the funeral home in Stockton with a graveside service to follow in
 the Stockton Cemetery in Stockton, KS. 
 Memorials are suggested to Main Street Christian Church and may be 
sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 723 N. 1st, Stockton, KS

Gwyneth Frack passed away July 29, 2022, at age 97 after a 
courageous battle with old age. She was born June 22, 1925, to Harry 
and Lucille Nelson and grew up on the family farm west of Larned, KS. 

She graduated from Larned High School and attended Fort Hays State 
University. On May 17, 1947, she married Lloyd Frack at St Stanislaus 
Church in Ingalls. They farmed together south of town with Gwyneth 
working as a farmwife. She especially enjoyed helping with calving 
season, driving the grain truck and mowing the lawn surrounding the 
farm. There were always an abundance of flowers and kittens on the farm 
as they were her favorite pastime. 
 Gwyneth left her imprint on many lives as she loved being with 
people. She actively served the Ingalls Community and Gray County, 
taking part for well over 50 years in the Gray County Extension Unit, 
the Ingalls Museum Board, writing the “Ingalls News” for the Jacksonian 
newspaper, and serving on Compass Mental Health Board of Directors.

lifetime of music. She started playing the piano for Sunday School at 
age 11 and continued to enjoy playing the piano until her death. She 
served as an organist at St. Stanislaus for 40 years and then upon 
moving to Garden City in 2001, started playing the piano for church 
services at Garden Valley Retirement Village. Her musical talents were 
also heard in the lobby of St. Catherine’s Hospital and at local events 
as she played the keyboard for two bands: the “Upbeats” and the 
“Humdingers." 
 Gwyneth was preceded in death by her husband Lloyd and her parents,
 Harry &amp; Lucille Nelson. She is survived by four children, Sharis 
Bange of Garden City, Janyth(Lon) Pishny of Garden City, Brent(Cathy) 
Frack, of Kechi and Shawna(Dave) Nehls of Manhattan; 11 grandchildren; 
Meagan(Russ) McNiff, Kenyon Bange, Jalonna(Ryan) Bowie, Shannon(Dennis) 
Simmons, Jaret(Lindsey) Frack, Brendon(Shannon) Pishny, Bryce(Lindsay) 
Frack, Brock(Ashley) Nehls, Lyndie(Tony) Trotter, Tarica(Trent) Lare 
&amp; Kamri(Jake) Stoppel. She also has twenty-five great-grandchildren 
and two great-great grandchildren. 
 Visitation will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday,
