Eleanor Tangeman McMindes, 91, died Tuesday April 19, 2022, at The Cedars in McPherson, Kansas. 
 She was born February 15, 1931 on her family farm in Adams, Nebraska
 to Gerd and Tena Aden. She married Jack Tangeman on June 1, 1952, in 
Wymore, Nebraska. He preceded her in death on April 30, 1982. She 
married Delos “Jim” McMindes on July 5, 2008, in Hays, Kansas.
 Eleanor dreamed of becoming a teacher since she was a child growing 
up in Nebraska. She started her career in education in a one-room school
 teaching grades K-8 in Gage County, Nebraska. She earned a B.S., M.S.,
 and Ed.S degree from Fort Hays State University. She spent 38 years

leadership positions in the Kansas National Education Association,

State University - Cunningham Award from Phi Delta Kappa. This award 
was a peer-based award for outstanding contribution to education. She 
was inducted into the Kansas Teacher’s Hall of Fame in 2007. Her truly

and tell her what a difference she made in their lives. 
 She loved to travel and she visited every state in the US and every 
continent except Antarctica with her dear friend Eloise Miller. She 
loved to bring back educational materials from various trips to share 
with her classroom students. One of her favorite trips was an 
educational exchange program with a university in China.

enough to let any grass grow under her feet. She joined her local 
chapter of AARP. She organized senior events and lobbied in Topeka for 
causes impacting Kansas seniors. She enjoyed participating in AARP 
events with her husband Jim. In 2017, Jim and Eleanor were awarded the

Melvin Dan Hutchins, 86 went to the Heavenly Home prepared for him, 
April 25, 2022, at Park Lane Nursing Home, Scott City, KS. He was born 
March 26, 1936, at St. Catherine Hospital in Garden City, KS, to Marion 
Dorsey Hutchins &amp; Grace Mae (Everett) Hutchins. They lived in Lane 
County until Dan was 5 when their family moved 15 miles south of Scott 
City on Dec. 7, 1941.

Dan attended school in Friend, KS, through the 4th grade, then the 
Shallow Water school for grades 5-8, graduating from Scott Community 
High School-USD 466. Dan went on to graduate from Kansas State College 
of Agriculture &amp; Applied Science with a Bachelor’s Degree of Science
 in Agriculture, returning home to farm with his father. Dan served in 
the United States Army Reserve.

Dan married Barbara Jean Bastin on March 12, 1961. In 2022 Dan and 
Barb celebrated 61 years of marriage. They raised their family in the 
same farm home Dan was raised in, until moving into Scott City in 2005.&nbsp;
 Dan accepted Jesus as his savior, joining the Scott City First United 
Methodist Church, and was an active member.

For Dan, spending time making special and varied memories with his 
family was very important. He encouraged Devin &amp; Deb in their 4-H 
cattle project, in school activities, and even on the ski slopes. 
Education was also very important to Dan. Giving back to Scott City Dan 
served on the USD 466 Board of Education from 1973-1981. Building &amp; 
flying remote-controlled model airplanes found Dan in their farm home 
basement building the planes he would later fly at the Scott City 
Airport. Until BIG plane traffic started increasing. Then he &amp; his 
friend Delmer Watterson found an airstrip in Dighton and another near 
Jetmore. Dan also enjoyed golf, as one of the charter members of the 
Scott County Golf Association. Natural Heath was another subject of 
interest for Dan. As a student of the world, Dan was a man of many 
interests. If you wanted the latest science fiction book, you’d find a 
tattered copy in Dan’s hip pocket. Right up until it disbanded a few 
years ago Dan was among the Charter members of the Scott City Men’s 
Investment Club. As the 7 grandchildren started arriving on the scene, 
Dan &amp; wife were found on the road ready to keep making more precious
 family memories.

Dan is survived by his wife, Barbara, one son, Devin Hutchins and 
wife, Dawn, Scott City; one daughter, Deb Talbott, and husband, Matt, 
Ellsworth, KS; one sister-in-law, Dorothy Hutchins, Scott City; one 
brother-in-law, Kirk Bastin, and wife, Alicia, St. Peters, MO; seven 
grandchildren, Alex Hutchins, and wife, Bridgette, Marshal Hutchins and 
Dylan Hutchins, Hays, KS; Danielle Aspiranti, and husband, Tony, 
Ellsworth, KS; Koltin Howard-Talbott, and Lindy Farris, Eagle, CO; Paige
 Talbott and Jaide Talbott, Lindsborg, KS; two great-grandchildren, 
Cameron James Hutchins, and Nolan Thomas Hutchins, Hays, KS.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Kent Hutchins.

Memorial services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 30, 
2022, at the United Methodist Church in Scott City, Kansas with the Rev.
 Larry Danforth presiding.&nbsp; Services will be streamed live at

 obituary.

Memorials in Lieu of Flowers can be written to the Dan Hutchins 
scholarship fund for SCHS graduates pursuing an Agriculture Degree or 
First United Methodist Church in care of Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home, 
PO Box 553, Scott City, Kansas, 67871.

Inurnment will be in the Scott County Cemetery.

consider anyone a stranger. Her door was always open and her shoulder 
was always there to lean on. She always had a story to tell. She enjoyed
 spending time with family especially her grand babies. They were her 
world.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Her other enjoyment was the dirt track 
racing world of going to the races with Todd to&nbsp;enjoy a night out under 
the stars with the cars running loud and fast. The number on Todd and 
Mandy’s race car was picked for their date of union in marriage of June 6th of it being car 63. &nbsp;

 Amon of Beloit, her son Dustin west of Cawker City, her grandchildren

SUDBURY, Mass. — Dr. Homer Reed died peacefully on April 20, 2022, at Newton Wellesley Hospital during a brief illness.

He was born in Hays, Kansas, on January 30, 1930, the youngest child of Homer B. Reed and Elma Carey Reed.

Dr. Reed was the beloved father of Lynne Reed of Leicester, N.C., John Reed and his wife Beth Webb Reed of Holmes Beach, FL, Alexandra Reed and her husband&nbsp;WulfdieterKlemm of Glendale, CA and Mark Reed of San Francisco, CA. He is also the loving grandfather of Carey Pettaway of Leicester, NC, Lauren Reed of Washington, D.C., and Mathew Reed of Los Angeles, CA. He also leaves his nephew Patrick Reed of New York City and 20 (estimated) other nieces and nephews. He is pre-deceased by his brother James Reed, his former wife Dorothy Reed, and his sisters Mary Elizabeth&nbsp;Seruto, Kathryn&nbsp;Daughaday, Margaret&nbsp;Schweinand Anne Jansen.

Dr. Reed was raised in Hays,&nbsp;Kansas, where his father was a professor in psychology at Fort Hays State College and his mother was an avid antique collector and part time antique dealer in addition to&nbsp;being&nbsp;a homemaker. He was a gifted child who was frequently asked to participate in psychology studies or experiments, and he graduated from high school at the age of 16. He went on to obtain his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Ft. Hays, then he entered the doctoral program in psychology at Purdue University and received his Ph.D. in 1955.&nbsp;

Dr. Reed was on the faculty at Florida State University from 1956-60, but he spent two summers learning neuropsychology from Dr. Ralph&nbsp;Reitan&nbsp;at Indiana University Medical Center, and this became his passion. He obtained a faculty position at IU in 1960 and worked with Dr.&nbsp;Reitanuntil 1966. He was then recruited to develop a Neuropsychology Service at Tuft’s New England Medical Center, and he directed their neuropsychology program until 1997. Subsequently, he worked privately as president of Medical Psychology Associates until 2006, and afterwards, he continued to do some part time work in the practice of his colleague, Dr. Allan Rooney, until January 2020. He trained and mentored&nbsp;post doctoral&nbsp;fellows throughout his career, conducted research, especially in pediatric neuropsychology, and he was author or co-author of 29 articles published in professional journals.

Outside of his professional life, Dr. Reed was a competitive bridge player who most often partnered with his brother James at tournaments. He also loved fly fishing, he was a voracious reader, from professional books to philosophy to Westerns and Mysteries, and he was known for his sense of humor, which was often mischievous.
