Donald Walter Vollertsen, 92, passed away peacefully at the Andbe Home in Norton, Kansas, on Sunday, September 20, 2020.  Don was born in Talmage, Nebraska, to Oscar and Ella Vollertsen on August 11, 1928.  Don was a loving husband, beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Don was raised in Talmage, graduating from Talmage High School in 1946.  He was an avid and accomplished athlete.  He led his school team to two state titles and was selected to the Nebraska all-state 6-man football team.  Upon graduation, he attended University of Nebraska and was a 3-year letterman in track.  Don loved the University of Nebraska and never missed a husker football game as a football season ticket holder for 62 years.

During his years at NU, he met the love of his life, Willa Hill, who survives him.  They married on June 17, 1951, and celebrated 69 years of marriage last summer.  Their marriage was blessed with three sons, six grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Don managed and operated both stores until he sold them to his sons, Steve and Kurt, in 1993.  Don put on the early morning coffee for many years for the "fountain crew" at Moffets while also filling millions of prescriptions for the community of Norton.

Don's all-time favorite activity was golf but also enjoyed hunting with his dog, Jessie.  As a business owner, he was a member of the Norton Chamber of Commerce and he raised his family as a member of the First United Methodist Church in Norton.

Warren Allen White was born on a small farm in Graham County, Kansas, on April 1, 1926, and died September 15, 2020, in Manhattan, Kansas, at the age of 94. 

 Warren was born to Warren Scott White and Anna Hess White.  He attended schools at Spring Creek Rural School and Hill City High School and was the first in his family to graduate from high school.  He was drafted into service for WWII and left for the Navy immediately after graduating.  He spent 1944 to 1946, in the South Pacific and witnessed the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima.  He was also at Okinawa.  He was very proud of his service. 

 When he returned home, he used the GI Bill to attend Kansas State University graduating in Civil Engineering.  In June 1949, he married Marjorie "Jean" Moore," also of Hill City, and they remained happily married until her death in October 2016.  He worked for the Kansas Highway Department (now called Department of Transportation) building roads across Kansas for 35 years.  He oversaw the last stretch of I-70 to the Colorado state line which was finished in 1970.  

Even though he had the mind of an engineer, his family considered him a modern renaissance man because of his creativity and many fields of interest and expertise.  His hobbies included gardening, stained glass, wood working, genealogy, wine making and hunting.  

Warren had lived in Norton since 1970, and was active in the Norton United Methodist Church and in the community.  He was a Boy Scout leader and a Hunter Safety instructor.  He served many organizations including Rotary, the Norton County Hospital, Thomas D. Morgan Trust, and Masonic Lodge.  He was well known in several counties as a farming and conservation expert.  He and his wife were generous philanthropists including Johnson Cancer Research Center, Norton United Methodist Church and various scholarships.  

Warren was preceded in death by his wife Jean, his sister Virginia Quinn and his brother Emanuel White.  He is survived by two sisters, Norma Brown, of Walton, Indiana, and Annabel Tate, of Kettering, Ohio; his children Eileen Jesse, and husband, Robert, of Overland Park, Kansas; Warren J. White, and wife, Candace, of Manhattan, Kansas; Beverly Funke, and husband, Mark, of Edmond, Oklahoma; Paul White, and wife, Barbara, of Byers, Colorado; his grandchildren, Tracy Flynn, and husband, Tom; William Funke, and wife, Lauren; Anne Funke; Daniel White, and wife, Susann; Elise Bennett, and husband, JJ; and Melanie Wolf, and husband, Ryan; and great grandchildren, Brianna Walker; Hailey, Caylin and Alena Rageth, Finley and Ethan White; Tripp and Jillian Bennett; Avery and Teddy Funke; and Eloise Wolf.  

Due to Covid-19 concerns, services and burial will be private.  A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring.  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Johnson Cancer Research Center at the KSU Foundation, 1800 Kimball Avenue, Manhattan, KS. 66502, directed to Fund NO.

John Arthur Cederberg, 86, passed away September 16, 2020 at the Decatur
 County Hospital in Oberlin, KS. God took another good one home.


John was born the third child to John “Walter” and Edith (Glad) 
Cederberg on a hot day, July 11, 1934 in Oberlin, KS. He went to country
 school near their family farm in Rawlins County. John was very athletic
 and loved most sports. When he started high school, he moved to Oberlin
 and lived with his Aunt Sidna during the week. He loved baseball, 
football and basketball. After graduation, John went to Kansas State 
University. That fall he discovered wrestling and competed on the 
wrestling squad for K-State. He was drafted and entered into the Army in
 the fall of 1954. John proudly served his country and was stationed in 
Germany post-war. He played on several of the army’s ball teams while 
serving. His father needed surgery after two years, so John left the 
military and came home to farm. When he returned home, he was on active 
reserves. He was honorably discharged in 1962. 


John married Barbara Eckhardt in 1958 in Oberlin. To this union, two
 daughters were born, Janet and Cynthia. In 1969 John decided to 
continue his education, first commuting to Colby Community College, and 
then finally returned to Kansas State. John graduated with a bachelor’s 
degree in Agriculture in 1971. They returned to the farm near Herndon 
and John farmed and taught agriculture and industrial arts classes in 
Herndon. In 1975, John was set up on a blind date with Ardythe Slatt by 
his ex-sister-in-law Corky. They dated a couple of years with a weekly 
date for prime rib on Saturday night. They were married in McCook, NE 
July 16,1977, on a blistering hot day. Ardythe and the girls joined the 
family with all five girls in high/middle school. His life was filled 
with women and their many school activities. John retired from teaching 
in 1979 and farmed full time until he retired in 2007, when they moved 
to Oberlin. John enjoyed having his family at home. He looked forward to
 playing pinochle and pitch with family and friends. John was baptized 
on August 19, 1934 and his confirmation was on August 22, 1948. His 
devotion to Faith Lutheran Church in Oberlin was great and he came to be
 known as the “Gummi Bear Man” to the grandkids and children at church. 
He always had a package in his pocket for any hungry child. John was 
diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 20 years ago and began the long battle.
 He moved into the Good Samaritan Society Home in Oberlin, January of

 </figure>John Arthur Cederberg, 86, passed away September 16, 2020 at the Decatur
 County Hospital in Oberlin, KS. God took another good one home.
John was born the third child to John “Walter” and Edith (Glad) 
Cederberg on a hot day, July 11, 1934 in Oberlin, KS. He went to country
 school near their family farm in Rawlins County. John was very athletic
 and loved most sports. When he started high school, he moved to Oberlin
 and lived with his Aunt Sidna during the week. He loved baseball, 
football and basketball. After graduation, John went to Kansas State 
University. That fall he discovered wrestling and competed on the 
wrestling squad for K-State. He was drafted and entered into the Army in
 the fall of 1954. John proudly served his country and was stationed in 
Germany post-war. He played on several of the army’s ball teams while 
serving. His father needed surgery after two years, so John left the 
military and came home to farm. When he returned home, he was on active 
reserves. He was honorably discharged in 1962. 
John married Barbara Eckhardt in 1958 in Oberlin. To this union, two
 daughters were born, Janet and Cynthia. In 1969 John decided to 
continue his education, first commuting to Colby Community College, and 
then finally returned to Kansas State. John graduated with a bachelor’s 
degree in Agriculture in 1971. They returned to the farm near Herndon 
and John farmed and taught agriculture and industrial arts classes in 
Herndon. In 1975, John was set up on a blind date with Ardythe Slatt by 
his ex-sister-in-law Corky. They dated a couple of years with a weekly 
date for prime rib on Saturday night. They were married in McCook, NE 
July 16,1977, on a blistering hot day. Ardythe and the girls joined the
