Robert C. “Bob” Malir, 87, of Wilson passed away on Saturday, January 
18, 2020.  He was born on April 16, 1932 to RC and Emma Posusta Malir on
 the family farm south of Wilson.  He attended the one room stone school
 “Ziska” in Noble Township.  Bob was in the last country school class to
 graduate when Ziska closed in the fall of 1945.  Bob attended all four 
years of high school at Wilson, graduating in the class of 1949.  He 
lived and worked on the family farm until drafted to the Army in late 
1952.  He did basic training at Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, and then 
completed basic training at Ft. Sill Oklahoma.  He was stationed there 
when the Korean War Armistice was signed in July of 1953.


In early 1953, he was chosen to attend Ft. Sill’s non-commissioned 
leadership Academy.  Cpl. Malir’s class was composed of ninety-one men, 
each of whom was chosen by his unit commander to attend the class.  Bob 
was named honor graduate that year.


He returned home to Wilson in 1954, farmed briefly before he signed 
as career Agent with American General life Insurance Company in an 
agency in Topeka, Kansas.  He and his wife Joan formed an all-lines 
insurance agency in Wilson – later selling their business to Ellco 
Insurance Company of Lorraine, Kansas in 2000.  Bob was active with his 
local chapter of the Life Underwriters in Great Bend, Kansas.  He was 
elected state president of the Kansas Association of Life Underwriters 
which at the time consisted of 1,500 members.  As a life-long learner, 
he was among the first to earn a Chartered Life Underwriting (CLU) 
certificate by passing a three-part training program and ongoing 
bi-annual exams.  He received his CLU designation in 1975.  In 1998 he 
was asked to join the Board of Directors of Marysville Mutual Insurance 
Company, where he served for 25 years.  In 1999, Bob was named to the 
Hall of Fame of the Kansas Life Underwriters based on his work in his 
profession, and his community involvement.  


Bob was an active member of American Legion Post #262 in Wilson and 
participated with honor, in the Memorial Day services, and was an active
 member of the firing squad.  He was involved with many City of Wilson 
activities, and poured his heart and soul into the annual Czech 
Fesitval.  Bob played the clarinet for 50 years in the Wilson Czech 
Band, and participated in many aspects of this annual event.  He was 
incredibly proud of his Czech heritage and was fluent in the Czech 
language, which he loved to speak when the opportunity presented itself.
  In honor of Bob’s involvement in Czech heritage, Senator Robert Dole 
named him to the National Folklife Center’s, Board of Directors in 
Washington, D.C.  He served on this Board for the maximum 6 years, and 
met quarterly during that time in the Library of Congress.  Bob enjoyed 
reading, studying maps and details of World War II.  His two trips to 
the Czech Republic were most enjoyable since he could converse with the 
locals in the Czech Language.


Bob is survived by his wife of 64 years, Joan, of Wilson; children, 
Carol (Dean) Keiswetter of Raleigh, NC, Paul Malir (Lynn Ellen) of 
Lenexa, KS, and Lynn (Bill) Dowling of Hays, KS; eleven grandchildren,

Grosscup, Anthony Dowling, Christine (Allan) Thomas, Kristen Malir and 
Mathew Malir, and Spencer, Ethan, Chloe, and Addison Keiswetter; and 
eight great-grandchildren, Graham, Jack, Drew, Jane, Annie, Benjamin,

In 2005, Ann moved back to Russell and “Semi-Retired.” She often said that she was retired and Doug was in his Semi. She continued her love for designing and remodeling houses, especially porches and kitchens.

Mary Bernice "Neecy" Vickers Wood Sloan was born to Clarence I. and Ruth
 O. (Lyon) Vickers on July 10, 1925 in Sheridan County, Kansas.  She 
passed away at the Sheridan County Long Term Care on January 17, 2020 
after a short illness.  She graduated from Sheridan County High School 
in 1943. 

 She attended secretarial school in Denver, CO and then worked 
in Seattle, WA during the WWII years.  She moved back to Sheridan County
 and married Dale Wood on August 27, 1950.   Dale lost his life in an 
airplane accident a few months before their son Gregory Dale was born.  
Greg came into the world on October 17, 1951. 

Neecy was part owner of 
the grocery store/post office in Studley, Ks for several years.  She 
worked at the local Soil Conservation Service and at the Sloan &amp; 
Eland Law Firm.   Neecy married Ray Sloan September 14, 1963.  


Neecy’s days were filled with love for her Lord.  She taught many 
children in Sunday School classes and led several Bible Studies in the 
community throughout the years.   Her commitment to Christ was evident 
in every part of her life.   She was a constant source of strength as 
she shared lessons from Scripture.


Neecy’s backyard garden was a wonderful place that she spent many 
hours tending.  She looked forward to each spring anticipating the first
 plants poking through the soil.  Neecy still mowed her own lawn until 
the age of 92.  


Neecy is survived by her son Greg, wife Juliet and granddaughter 
Jessica; her brother, Bill Vickers; sisters, Vivian Wade, Charlotte 
Beeson and Dorothy Nation, step-sons Murray (Bonnie) and Richard 
(Glenda) Sloan, their families and many nieces and nephews.


She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Dale Wood; 
husband, Ray Sloan; sisters, Fae Frasier, Leigh Vickers, and Phyllis 
McClelland.  


Neecy had two favorite sayings.  “That’s a good thing” and “I’ve got
 that square filled”.    She has accomplished both and is resting in the
 arms of Jesus.

Marvin Lee Bauman,&nbsp;86, of&nbsp;Quinter, Kansas, went to his heavenly home 
to be with his Lord and Savior on&nbsp;Thursday, January 16, 2020, at the 
Gove County Medical Center Long Term Care Facility. Marvin was born 
in&nbsp;Modesto, California on&nbsp;April 14, 1933, to Elmer and Mabel (Brubaker) 
Bauman.&nbsp; He was the youngest of five children. He attended&nbsp;Heart Ransom 
Elementary School and Modesto High School.&nbsp; Marvin spent a happy 
childhood in Modesto, riding bicycles, hunting frogs, and swimming in 
canals. At age 16, Marvin started working for his dad as a carpenter, 
then for a hay farmer, chopping hay and delivering it to dairy farmers.

Marvin met the love of his life, Morya Boone, when she was visiting 
friends in Modesto. They were both 16 at that time. They started dating a
 while later and were united in marriage at Morya’s family home in 
Quinter on&nbsp;November 22, 1952. They were married&nbsp;for 67 years and were 
blessed with five children (their firstborn died in childbirth). When 
Marvin went into CO service, he and Morya moved to Sacramento, 
California for two years, where Marvin drove a truck, picking up 
deliveries for Goodwill Industries. Marvin and Morya moved to Quinter in
 1955, and Marvin farmed for a couple of years before they moved back to
 Modesto. In 1963, they made their permanent move back to Quinter. 
Marvin worked as a&nbsp;Production Manager at Flex-King Corporation for 34 
years. He thoroughly enjoyed working with men to produce high-quality 
Flex-King plows and took pride in his work. Marvin’s happiest times were
 when he was in the great outdoors, spending time with his family. He 
loved fishing, hunting, camping, and working in his yard, which was 
always lush and immaculate. He was a very organized man who took 
meticulous care of his possessions. In dealing with others, he was 
humble, kind, and fair. He had a good sense of humor and loved sharing 
funny stories with his family and friends.&nbsp;

Marvin possessed a strong faith and love for God and was baptized on 
April 21, 1957, becoming a member of the Old German Baptist Brethren 
Church, to which he held a strong loyalty. Marvin loved reading his 
Bible, even as his life journey was coming to an end; when his body was 
feeble, and his eyes were growing dim. He was comforted as family, 
friends, and Hospital and Long-Term Care staff read to him from God’s 
word, prayed with him, and talked with him. The family is very 
appreciative of the love, kindness, and compassion shown to Marvin as he
 braved his illness with God by his side. He often commented in his 
quiet voice, “The Lord is giving me strength.”

Marvin is survived by&nbsp;his loving wife, Morya; one brother, Merle 
Bauman of Modesto, California; three children: Jeff Bauman and wife Deb 
of Quinter, Jim Bauman and wife Annette of Springboro, Ohio, and Julie 
(Bauman) Litfin and husband Roy of Quinter; one son-in-law, Rick Albin 
and wife Carol of Quinter; 16 grandchildren: Abigail (Bauman) Miller, 
Jesse Bauman, Lindsey (Bauman) Bucher, Judah Bauman, Nathan Albin, 
Heather (Albin) Jamison, Seth Albin, Hannah (Albin) Lorenz, Joshua 
Albin, Caleb Albin, Amanda (Bauman) Miller, Jessica (Bauman) Allen, 
Andrea (Litfin) Wolfe, Jenny (Litfin) Fulton, Holly Litfin, and Chelsea 
Litfin; 31 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
