Benjamin Floyd Chadwick, 24, of Oakley, passed away April 30th, 2022. He
 was born November 21st, 1997, in Colby, Ks to Lonnie and Tami (Dawes) 
Chadwick. He was welcomed home by his big brother Trey Dawes, who helped
 him explore all the mischievous little things two boys can find 
together. 

Along the way each found their own calling and pursued them 
with great integrity. Although they didn’t always see eye to eye, 
brotherly love can be tough at times, but it is a true blessing and 
irreplaceable. Benjamin “Ben” grew up in Oakley and attended Oakley High
 School. He was a jack of all trades, but mostly enjoyed being a 
mechanic and a heavy machine operator. 

He was a hard worker and always 
willing to take on a new challenge, with his most recent venture working
 at the Pizza Hut, where he enjoyed socializing and connecting with his 
coworkers, who cared about him greatly. Ben was always on the go, 
whether it be helping a friend, tinkering, changing a tire, riding his 
motorcycle, working on project vehicles, or going to the lake. The most 
valued time was spent with family and friends. He loved family 
gatherings. His favorite part of the gatherings was to come over and 
enjoy all the food prepared. He enjoyed good company. Ben loved to 
tease/pick on all the little kids. 
He was preceded in death by his grandma Ardith Chadwick; great grandpa 
Clyde Blair; great uncle Ben Barnes; uncle Dustin Criqui Sr, and many 
more loved ones. 
Ben is survived by his parents, Lonnie and Tami Chadwick; brother Trey 
Dawes; grandparents Deveron and Myla Dawes; great grandmother Naida 
Blair and numerous other family members and friends. 
A memorial service will take place at 2:00 p.m. Friday, May 6, 2022, at 
the United Christian Church, Oakley.

Memorials are suggested to the 
family to help with expenses and can be sent in care of Baalmann 
Mortuary, PO Box 391, Colby, KS 67701. For information or condolences

Carrol “Red” Allen, 87, died on Tuesday, May 3, 2022. Red was born on
 July 4th, 1934, in Royal, Nebraska, to Gertrude Scheer and Verle Allen. 
His paternal grandparents were Charles and Anna Allen, and Phillip and 
Josephine Scheer on his maternal side. Red was a devoted brother to his 
three beautiful sisters, DeEtta, Judene, and Viktorya. He attended grade
 school in Royal and Hastings, Nebraska and then went on to graduate 
from Lake Andes High School in 1951.

From the first time he swung his mother’s broom handle at a corn cob,
 Red Allen loved the game of baseball and it would become a constant 
source of joy throughout his life. Playing professionally was his dream,
 and he quickly worked his way up through the Northern Class League and 
Basin League before achieving his dream of signing a professional 
contract with the Baltimore Orioles. Sadly, his time with them would be 
short-lived, as an injury kept him from continuing to play the sport he 
loved so much.

His passion for athletics never stopped though. Red started coaching 
baseball in 1959 and would continue until 2012, adding basketball, 
softball, refereeing, and umpiring to his resume. In 2000, he was 
inducted into the South Dakota Baseball Hall of Fame.&nbsp;

Red was always working. As a young man, he delivered fresh milk door 
to door, butchered meats at the IGA, and popped corn at the movie 
theater. He went on to own a truck stop, spend 25 years custom 
harvesting, and was very involved in community activism. Red served on 
the Township Board, the School Board, as County Commissioner, and then 
as a South Dakota State Senator for 12 years. He became the Democratic 
State Party Chairman in 1985 and ran for Governor of South Dakota in 
1994.

Red was blessed with a large and loving family. He met his beloved 
Gladys Herrold at the bowling alley during the iconic Fish Days of 1952 
and said “it was love at first sight.” They were married a year later on
 September 20, 1953, and spent 59 years together until her death in 
2012. Three children were born into this union: Bruce, Betty, and 
Charles.

In 2015, Red met Judy Tuttle, fell in love, and moved south to Kansas
 where he spent the next seven years by her side. Together they built up
 a beautiful home and lived in it happily. Red loved hunting season but 
even more, he treasured having family around to enjoy the home and hunt 
the land. He discovered a love for making furniture and took great pride
 in the pieces he made. Red and Judy enjoyed living out the later years 
of their life together.&nbsp;

Red is survived by his wife, Judy Tuttle of Grinnell, KS; sisters 
Viktorya Allen of Napa, CA, and DeEtta Vondracek of Millbank, SD; 
children Bruce (Julie) Allen of Omaha, NE; Betty (Glenn) Granflaten of 
Sioux Falls, SD; and Chuck (Connie) Allen of Chandler, AZ; Step-children
 Myrna Craig; Craig Tuttle; Troy Tuttle; and Derek Tuttle; 
Grandchildren; Christopher Allen, Elizabeth Allen, Stephanie Allen, 
Paige Allen, Jacob Allen, Nick Matzke, David Matzke, Sam Matzke, Matthew
 Matzke, Joseph Matzke, Jennifer Granflaten, Chipper Granflaten, Jeremy 
Granflaten, Chelsey Allen Carver, Cassidy Allen Hynd, and Charles Allen;
 22 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Gladys Allen, sister Judene Grage, and brother-in-law George Herrold.&nbsp;

Visitation will be Friday, May 6, 2022, from 5-7 p.m. at Schmitt 
Funeral Home in Quinter, Kansas. The funeral service will be held at 
10:00 a.m. Saturday, May 7, 2022, at Gove Community Bible Church in 
Gove, Kansas. A graveside burial will be held on Saturday, May 21, 2022,
 at 11:00 a.m. at Lakeview Cemetery in Lake Andes, South Dakota. A 
reception will follow from 12-2 p.m. at St. Mark’s Catholic Church in 
Lake Andes, SD for friends and family to gather and celebrate Red’s 
life.&nbsp;

Our Mom, Janice Kaye Beeson Koehn, was born to Marvin and Mary Beeson 
July 10, 1955, at Scott City Kansas. She peacefully departed this earth 
May 3, 2022, at St Catherine Hospital in Garden City Kansas having 
reached the age of 66 years. Mom spent her childhood years on her 
parent’s farm in rural Scott County and received her education in the 
Scott County Public Schools. On February 28, 1983, she was married to 
our dad, Dennis Koehn. She, together with her son Ryan, made their home 
with Dad in Ingalls Kansas. Later, four sons and one daughter were born 
into this union. Dad and Mom were baptized into the Church of God in 
Christ, Mennonite at Cimarron Kansas by Minister Vernon Giesbrecht on 
April 10, 1983. 
Their early years were spent in Ingalls, then they moved to Cimarron and
 lived in Grandpa Curtis’ house. Dad was a custom hay operator, and mom 
helped where she could. They lived at Cimarron about 5 years and then 
they bought land at Lakin, Kansas and moved there in 1992 to begin a 
longtime dream of farming. Many happy memories were created there in the
 “home on the hill.” As the children grew older, Mom worked as a 
receptionist at High Plains Retirement Village in Lakin. She was very 
much a people person, and people loved her. She had a tremendous sense 
of humor and loved to laugh with her friends. In later years, Mom’s 
health declined, and she became housebound, but even under those 
circumstances it was impressive to us how she was always upbeat and 
positive when we would stop in to see her. We trust her into the 
everlasting hands of a just God. 
Survivors include 6 children: Ryan and Linda Beeson, Louise Texas, Jesse
 and Suzann Koehn, Lakin Kansas, Katie and Amber Sechrist, Katy Texas, 
Tyler Koehn, Newton Kansas, Benjamin Koehn, Nathan and Marcia Koehn, and
 husband Dennis Koehn, Lakin Kansas, 10 grandchildren; 3 siblings: 
Jacque and Ed Jantzen, Cimarron Kansas, David Beeson, Scott City Kansas,
 and Jamie Beeson, Scott City Kansas. She was preceded in death by her 
parents, one sister, and one brother. 
Funeral Service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 6, 2022, at the
 Lakin Mennonite Church. A private family interment will take place at a
 later date. Friends may call from 1:00 p.m. to service time at the 
church.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
