Mitchell “Mitch” James Eichman passed away on November 26, 2020, at his 
home in Plainville, KS, at the age of 44. He was born on July 31, 1976 
in Hays, KS to Jim and Cindy (Hrabe) Eichman. 
 Growing up in Plainville, Mitch graduated from Plainville High 
School with the Class of 1995. He attended the Diesel Technician Program
 at Northwest Kansas Technical College in Goodland, KS. Mitch went on to
 work for Farm Implement, Tom’s Machine for 10 years, and Gore Oil 
Company the last 13 ½ years. 
 During his high school years, Mitch was strongly involved in the 
Plainville FFA Chapter and was a chapter officer all four years. He also
 held FFA District Officer positions his junior and senior years, and 
was class President his senior year. Never one to forget a joke, he was 
funny and often was told he could be a professional comedian. He loved 
visiting with friends and family and was a great storyteller. He was a 
collector and keeper of many things; never found to throw away a hunting
 magazine.
 Mitch was a good-hearted man who worked hard, enjoyed life and 
cherished his family and friends. Although he was taken from us far too 
soon, we know that those we enjoyed and loved, we can never lose, for 
all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. We can smile because he 
lived and left us with cherished memories that will live forever in our 
hearts. He will be remembered in love.
 Mitch is survived by his parents, Jim and Cindy of Plainville; 
brother, Mace Eichman of Plainville; and sister, Manda Weien and husband
 Ron of Plainville. 
 A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, December 1, 
2020, at 10:30 AM at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Plainville. A 
Visitation will be held on Monday 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the funeral home
 in Plainville, and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM with a Vigil Service at 7:00 PM

 Memorials are suggested to Plainville FFA and may be sent in care of
 Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 320 SW 2nd, Plainville, KS 67663.

Wilma “Billie” Lee (Luder) McAlexander, aged 93, died peacefully on 
November 26, 2020, in LaGrange, Georgia. Billie was born moments after 
her twin sister, Beth, on July 21, 1927 in Waldo, Kansas to parents 
Clemmer D. (Knapp) and Jacob “Pop” K. Luder. She married Harold “Herk” 
McAlexander on August 18, 1945 and travelled with him to Army posts 
around the U.S. and in Japan. They moved to Hoisington in early 1950. 
Two sons came along, K.C. in March 1950 and Dan in October 1953.

For almost 60 years, she was Hoisington’s all-round organist and 
piano teacher. She played for thousands of services—church, weddings, 
funerals, and high school commencements. She taught hundreds of kids 
piano, bringing music alive with her upbeat spirit. She taught a young 
adult Sunday School class called “Pairs and Spares.” She loved movies 
and dogs and was an inveterate walker.&nbsp;

In 2006, Herk died, and in 2013 she moved into assisted living in LaGrange, Georgia.

She is survived by; her two sons, K.C. (Suzanne) of Huntingtown, 
Maryland and Dan (Celeste Myall) of LaGrange, Georgia; her sister, Donna
 Beth Whitman of Paradise, Kansas; her five grandchildren, Caitrin 
McAlexander Huntzinger (John) of Ashton, Maryland, Noel Tarlton 
McAlexander (Stacey) of Austin, Texas, Ian Tarlton McAlexander (Joanna) 
of Elkton, Virginia, Anne Myall McAlexander (Carson Cerney) of Lincoln, 
Nebraska, and Alice Myall McAlexander (Warren Flood) of Detroit, 
Michigan; her five great grandchildren, Cormac Olson McAlexander, John 
Edward Huntzinger IV, Mary Blythe Huntzinger, Malcolm Lewis 
McAlexander-Flood, and Lorelei Anne McAlexander-Flood; and many 
wonderful nieces, nephews, and their children. Billie was preceded in 
death by her parents, her husband, her infant brother Noel, and her 
younger brother, James Kirk Luder.

Owing to the pandemic, a private burial for immediate family will be 
held graveside at Hoisington Cemetery. A memorial service will be 
planned at a later date to celebrate her life.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the First United 
Methodist Church or to Kans for Kids Fighting Cancer Foundation, in care
 of Nicholson-Ricke Funeral Home, PO Box 146, Hoisington, KS 67544.

Robert "Bob" L. Zubeck, a first-generation American who farmed in the 
Deerfield area for many years, died Nov. 22, 2020, at High Plains 
Retirement Village. He was 94. 
Born June 5, 1926, in Deerfield, to Joseph and Josephine Zubeck, who 
immigrated to the United States separately in the early 1900s and 
married in the eastern U.S., he attended Deerfield High School. He 
married Doris Rector on June 15, 1947, in Deerfield. She died on Nov. 9,
 2016. 
He grew sugar beets, wheat, milo, corn and soybeans and raised chickens,
 cattle, pigs, and sheep on farms south and north of Deerfield. 
He lived his entire life in Kearny County, Kansas, except for one year 
when his family moved to Ohio during the Great Depression. Besides 
farming with his brothers, most notably Tom Zubeck, he ran Deerfield 
Recreation for several years and worked at Central Power and other 
implement dealers in Garden City. 
He loved to play bridge, pitch and cribbage, work crossword puzzles and 
read three newspapers and many magazines regularly. He relished telling 
stories of his youth when he sold eggs from his flock of chickens for 10
 cents a dozen, and of his many experiences being part of the Deerfield 
community. He also was proud of his sugar beet crops, which took top 
prize at the Kansas State Fair. He always grew a garden in his backyard,
 and he and his wife teamed up to can peaches every year for decades. 
He was an avid bowler and traveled with his wife to tournaments across Kansas and to Reno, Nevada. 
He was a member of the Deerfield Lions Club, served as a volunteer on 
the Deerfield Fire Department and helped with the Deerfield Methodist 
Brotherhood groundhog supper for decades, refining the art of cooking 
sausage. He also kept the scorebook for Deerfield High School boys 
basketball games for many years and ran the chain for high school 
football games. 
Always good with his hands, he enjoyed carpentry and built book shelves 
for his home as well as for his children’s homes, and crafted a lighted 
“Merry Christmas” sign that blazed from the Zubeck roof during the 
holidays. He also was instrumental in his kids’ participation in 4-H 
animal projects. 
He moved to High Plains Retirement Village in 2013 where he made friends
 with all the staff members. His trademark was handing out chocolate 
candies to the staff and residents while tooling around the hallways on 
his scooter. His signature activity was growing tomatoes, peppers and 
zinnias in the planter boxes there. 
He survived COVID-19 but suffered a broken hip as he was about to return to his regular room on Oct. 25. 
He was the last surviving member of the American Zubeck family and was 
preceded in death by his parents; his wife; brothers, Tom, Jim, Frank, 
John and Joe, and George, two infant sisters, Bessie and Mary, and an 
infant brother buried in the eastern U.S.; sisters- and brothers-in-law 
Juanita and Don Peterson, and Barbara and Les Cline; nieces Norma 
Sanchez and Kathleen Smith, and son-in-law Tony Cunningham. 
He is survived by his son, Jan (Gloria) Zubeck of El Paso, Texas; 
daughters, Pam Cunningham, and Ann (Dan) Brink of Colorado Springs; step
 sister Fern Moore of Wichita; nieces, Ginger Sonderegger of Leoti, 
Glenda Crone of Garden City, Cherry Zubeck and Regina Derryberry of 
Fresno, Calif., Patsy Brimm of Garden City, Katrina Peterson of 
California; nephews, Alan Zubeck of Fresno, and Jim Zubeck of Great 
Bend, Nick Peterson of Albany, California and Alan Peterson of 
Australia, and granddaughter, Stephanie Brink, and grandson, Bernie 
Brink, both of Colorado Springs. 
Burial will be in Deerfield Cemetery. A celebration of his long life 
will take place at a later date. The family suggests memorial 
contributions to the Deerfield Recreation Commission, specifically the 
Deerfield Celebration, which he attended for many years, in care of 
Garnand Funeral Home of Lakin, Kansas.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Allen L. Salo, 57, passed away on Friday, November 20, 2020, at his home
 in Easton, Maine.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was born on January 27, 1963 in Minot, North Dakota, the
 son of Raymond and Sonja (Kangas) (Salo) Aalto.&nbsp;
 Allen was a very kind, loving, and sweet man who will be greatly 
missed by all who knew him. He did not have a mean bone in his body and 
tried to always look at things in a positive light. The twinkle in his 
eyes that appeared when he was excited about something was and will be 
difficult to miss. Allen grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan 
where he developed a great love for nature and animals. Allen earned a 
Bachelor’s degree at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, a 
Master’s Degree from the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and a PhD in 
psychology from the University of Florida in Gainesville. He began his 
teaching career at Fort Hays State University in Hayes, Kansas, and then
 for over 21 years at the University of Maine at Presque Isle. Allen 
greatly enjoyed teaching his students and took tremendous pleasure in 
seeing them succeed.&nbsp;
 Allen is survived by his wife, Christina Salo and two step-sons 
Nathan and Justin Quint of Easton; his mother, Sonja (Salo) Aalto and 
his step-father Howard Alto of Rock, MI; his brother Mark Salo and his 
wife Laurie of Bozeman, MT; his two nieces Jordan Salo and Whitney 
Jelinek; and many special aunts, uncles, cousins and friends all over 
the country.&nbsp;
 Allen was predeceased by his father Raymond Salo in 1980.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Many thanks to the staff at Northern Light Cancer Care who so kindly
 helped him along the way. Please consider making a donation to the 
American Cancer Society or the Central Aroostook Humane Society in his 
memory.&nbsp; &nbsp;
