Freddie R. Lamm, son of Mildred Jean (Pfeiffer) and Henry Silas Lamm 
Jr., was born September 11, 1955, in Boonville, Missouri, and departed 
life on May 26, 2022, at Menorah Medical Center in Overland Park, 
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.
 Freddie attended the University of Missouri and earned a Bachelor of 
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.” 
This was shown by how he dedicated his efforts to helping others, such 
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. 
One of Freddie’s proudest moments of 2022, would be completing his 43rd year working at the Kansas State University Northwest Research-Extension Center. During his 
time at NWREC, Freddie was always at the cutting edge of irrigation 
research and contributed to internationally recognized technologies: 
sub-surface drip irrigation. His contributions were further recognized 
by his Irrigation Association Man of the Year award and being named a 
Fellow of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological 
Engineering. 
He leaves to mourn his passing, wife Donna of Colby; children Elaine, Brooklyn, NY, Henry Silas IV, Naperville, IL; Rachel (Chelston Ketting), stationed at 
Hurlburt Field, FL and Sarah, Lawrence, KS; siblings Sharon Whitley, 
Henry Silas III (Gail), and Greg; and nieces and nephews. 
He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Carol. 
A funeral service will take place at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, May 31, 2022,

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

 </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

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.

 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.

Patricia Briggs

Jana Jacobs, 66 years, of Holdrege, NE passed away peacefully at home on May 13th, 2022 after a battle with renal failure.

Jana was born July 30th, 1955, to Dale and Lotte (Horn) Balthazor in Beloit, KS.

The family moved to Phillipsburg in 1959.&nbsp; Jana completed school in 
Phillipsburg.&nbsp; While in high school she worked at the Birdhouse and 
shortly after graduation she began her career at Phillips County Road 
and Bridge Department where she worked for over 30 years as a heavy 
equipment operator.

In 1976, she was united in marriage to Kenny Guthrie.&nbsp; And through 
this union Kenny adopted Jana’s son Jasen.&nbsp; The couple made their home 
in Phillipsburg and in 1980 Alicia was born.&nbsp; Kenny preceded them in 
death in April 1998.

She was united in marriage to Roy Jacobs on September 19th,
 1998 in Phillipsburg.&nbsp; The couple enjoyed gardening, yardwork, riding 
their bikes, fishing, spending time with their grandchildren, and time 
together.&nbsp; Roy was always willing to go along with whatever Jana threw 
his way, even renovating three houses.

Jana’s most precious gift was her grandchildren.&nbsp; She loved every 
moment she got with them.&nbsp; Which led her to Palmer, NE, while living 
there she worked as a Med Aide at the Veterans Home in Grand Island.

In 2012, she moved to Orleans, NE to be closer to family and you 
guessed it, her daughter and grandkids lived across the street.&nbsp; In 2016
 her grandkids moved to Holdrege and you can guess where she moved in 
2017, yep right down the street from her “babies” as she called them.

Survivors include her husband Roy of Phillipsburg; Son Jasen Guthrie 
and wife Tanya of Phillipsburg; her daughter Alicia Norton and husband 
Jeremy of Holdrege, NE; Father Dale Balthazor of Topeka, KS; brother 
Brad Balthazoer of Topeka; 4 grandchildren Taylor, Olivia, Kennedie, and
 Jakob of Holdrege; and 2 great grandsons Paxton and Ryftin of Holdrege.
