He was born June 3, 1955, to parents Joe and Allene Tesar in Lincoln. After graduating from Crete High School in 1974, Ken went on to study Diesel Mechanics at Southeast Community College in Milford where he earned an Associate of Applied Science degree with distinction, graduating top of his class. In April 1977, he was baptized and confirmed at St. John Lutheran Church in Seward. Ken farmed his entire life and spent five of those years working at Becklers Implement of Seward. In 1981, he made the decision to work full-time as a farmer.

Ken and Marianne (Jans) were united in marriage on October 9, 1976. Together they had two children, Ashley and Whitney. Ken loved farming, fishing and hunting; but most importantly, enjoyed sharing in these activities with his dear family members and friends.

Ken was an active member of St. John Lutheran Church in Kramer. He served the Lord and congregation in a variety of roles including Elder, Trustee, Board of Education and choir member. He was honored and proud to have served 18 years on the Board of Directors for the Farmers Cooperative Elevator.

Being a proud Czech, Ken loved homemade kolaches and polka. You'd often find him eating fish at Bee, Nebraska on Friday evenings and listening to classic rock and George Strait from his recliner at home. He enjoyed spending his summers fishing in Chamberlain, South Dakota and playing fetch with his grand-dog, Sebastian (aka: Junior). For his girls, he instilled the importance and value of many things: reading complete instructions before starting a project, keeping a vehicle's fuel tank above half full, to truly listen and learn from others, and to always spread the love of Christ.

Ken is survived by his wife, Marianne; daughters, Ashley Tesar of Lincoln, Whitney Peterson (Ryan) of Clear Lake, Minnesota; step-grandsons, Hunter and Weston Peterson of Clear Lake, Minnesota; sister, JoAnn Kroll; half-sister, Linda (Lou) Schafer of Tobias, half-brothers, Allen (Jan) Soukup, Glen (Trudy Townley) Soukup, all of Lincoln; many nieces and nephews; and countless friends who enriched his daily life.

23037 I48597  Thomas  Eilene Marie  20 Apr 1937  25 Jan 2024  Eilene Marie Wehr-Rath, 86, of Lexington, Nebraska, passed away on Thursday, January 25, 2024, at her home in Lexington.

She was born on April 20, 1937, in Bennet, Nebraska, to Fred and Agnes (Brejcha) Thomas. Eilene attended public school in Bennet and graduated from Bennet High School with the class of 1954. She married Robert (Bob) Snyder in 1955. To this union, two children were born, David and Theresa (Terri). In 1967, she married Veryl Wehr and welcomed his son, Doug. The three kids were raised as one family. After Veryl's death, Eilene married Hugh Rath in 2007. They spent their latter years of life singing to each other, studying the Bible, and just loving one another!

Eilene spent most of her adult career working for Reach Electronics in Lexington. She worked up the corporate ladder from secretary to eventually becoming CEO. During this time, her biggest accomplishment was applying for and having the company awarded the President's "E" Award for Exports from the US Government. She got to dine at the White House with then President Ronald Reagan. After Reach closed their doors, she moved on to work for Veetronix, a subsidiary of Reach. She would tell her kids, "I'm just a little ole' kid from a little ole' town with no college education. I just can't believe the opportunities I've had in my life!" She retired early when her husband, Veryl, became ill and needed around-the-clock care.

Eilene loved spending time with her family, cooking, boating, being at the lake, and being with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed needlework and doing plastic canvas. She gave many of the things she made away. In her younger years, you would find her sunbathing or boating at Johnson Lake, but as she aged, she liked watching Andy Griffith or Looney Tunes on tv, relaxing outside, and taking naps! She was a member of the Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Kearney.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Doug Wehr of Kearney, David (Linda Kingham) Snyder of Fort Collins, Colorado, and Theresa (Terri) Casper of Lexington; step-children, Steve (Linda) Rath of Elwood, Nebraska and Mike (Amanda) Rath of Whitney, Nebraska; sister, Phyllis (Ralph) Steward of Bennet, Nebraska; grandchildren, Jason (Tiffany) Wehr, Christopher (Claudia) Wehr, Daniel (Felicia) Snyder, Alyssa (Ryan) Benson, Julie (Sean) Urban, Mary Beth (Clint) Stoll, Curt Casper, Becki (Tom) Hoffman, Eric Casper and Blake (Courtney Patterson) Casper; fifteen great-grandchildren with two more on the way, special friend Sue Berndt who cared for her so lovingly the last several years, as well as many extended family and friends.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her ex-husband Robert (Bob) Snyder, husband, Veryl Wehr, and husband, Hugh Rath; brothers, John Thomas and Bill Thomas; sister, Vivian Thomas, son-in-law Craig Casper, stepchildren, Debra Smith, Ron Rath, and Beverly Dyke.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, February 1, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. at Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington with Pastor John Strackbein, officiating. The service will be live-streamed via the Reynolds-Love Funeral Home Facebook page.

Inurnment will be held at Greenwood Cemetery in Lexington, with refreshments following at Grace Lutheran Church in Lexington.

Memorials are kindly suggested to the Lexington Volunteer Fire Department. A very special thank you to the LVFD for helping Eilene so many times.510

In the STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST, Volume 9, September 2, 1946, in a column titled "Our Service Men Who Have Returned Home", it was noted that Gordon L. Thomas 'after three years' service in U.S., Italy, France and England. He is now an instructor at Michigan State College.'

The Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast, Volume 11, published September 6, 1948, reported that he was attending Northwestern University at Evanston, Ill. while on a leave of absence from Michigan State College. Volume 15 of the same periodical, published September 1, 1952, noted that he received his Ph.D. degree in speech from Northwestern University at Evanston, Illinois. It was further noted that he and his family had moved to a new home in East Lansing, Michigan.

Volume 22 of the same periodical, dated September 7, 1959, reported that the family spent three months during the last winter in Mexico. Much of their time was spent travelling, with visits to Mexico City, Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Cuernavaca, Puerto Vallarta and a small fishing village. Mr. Thomas was on a sabbatical leave from Michigan State University. Volume 23 reported he had been recently re-elected to his second term as Mayor of the City of East Lansing.

23043 I14097  Thomas  Iredell Dickinson  Abt 1805  Abt 1866  Iredell Thomas was an early settler in the area, arriving in east Texas with his parents and siblings around 1828. He built the first store in the newly established town of San Augustine in 1833, and it became one of the largest mercantile businesses in town. A leading citizen of the area, Thomas amassed considerable wealth and land holdings as a businessman and planter. During the Texas Revolution he participated in the siege of Bexar and served as secretary of the San Augustine Committee of Vigilance and Safety.

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/drtsa/00047/drt-00047.html

At the time of the 1860 census, brother-in-law Matthew Cartwright had real estate at $500,000 and personal property near $75,000, with only 13 slaves. Henson and Parmelee point out by way of contrast that brother-in-law and "planter" William Garrett estate, included 132 slaves, and that "Farmer-Merchant" Iredell D. Thomas had $166,000 in accumulated wealth, and 52 slaves. (Henson and Parmelee, "The Cartwrights of San Augustine," p. 191).

In the book "Becoming Bourgeois: Merchant Culture in the South, 1820-1865" (Frank Byrne, The University Press of Kentucky, 2006, available on Google Books), the author writes that both of Iredell's sons "went on to serve in the Confederate army for the remainder of the war. Later both gained a measure of political notoriety in postwar Texas, James as a senatorial candidate in 1877 and Iredell (Jr.) as a leading organizer of the Ku Klux Klan in San Augustine."

23061 I71  Thompson  Alexander  Abt 1739  Between 1808 and 1815  From "Thompson Mill History" by Calvin G. Floyd in STRICKLAND SCENE Vol 2, No 1 First Quarter 1981 (Strickland Research, Inc. 1661 Laurancae Way, Riverdale, GA 30296): "Alexander Thompson, Sr. was born 1739 and died 1815 in Madison County. He married Elizabeth Hodge (1745-1820). They are buried near Thompson's Mill, but no grave markers have been found by the writer.

Alexander Thompson, Sr. was a Revolutionary War soldier. He received a scalp wound at the battle of King's Mountain which left a permanent scar.

Alexander Thompson moved his family from Burke County, NC, to Wilkes County, GA in 1788. His sister and her husband, William McDaniel, also came to Wilkes County at this time. (Later he) moved to a place on the east side of South River across from his son's home (James Thompson, Sr.). This was in Elbert County at that time. They built substantial log houses for their families. Alexander Thompson, Sr. built a dam across South River at the shoals. A grist mill and a saw mill were constructed and were operated by water power. His will states that he also had cotton machines. In the book, OUR KIN by Manning, it is written that this was the first grist mill in north Georgia. Lumber was sawed at the mill from primeval timber to build the two story home of Alexander Thompson, Sr.

He was on the first Superior Court Jury list after Madison County was formed in 1812. He was a member of the first Board of Road Commissioners from Danielsville District in 1812. He bought one of the lots at auction onthe Court House Square in Danielsville, which were sold for funds to build a courthouse.

A plantation of 1900 acres was operated by the Thompson family. Several slaves were owned by family members. The mills and farms were operated for several generations by descendants of Alexander Thompson.


From HISTORY OF GEORGIA AND GEORGIA'S PEOPLE by Geo. G. Smith:

Listed on page 623 are names of revolutionary soldiers who recieved money and those who received land warrants. On page 640, Alexander Thompson and Solomon Strickland, father of Thompson's daughter-in-law Eunice are listed as receiving land warrants. Alexander received land in Washington Co, GA. He was wounded in the Battle of King's Mountain.

From the book HISTORICAL SKETCHES, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES AND EARLY SETTLERS IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA by Rev. Groves Harrison Cartledge, compiled by Jessie Julia Mize and Virginia Louise Newton, Athens GA 1960 pps 72-76:

Alexander Thompson and his two sons, James and William, were from Burke County, NC and settled on the South Fork of the Broad River about 1790. Alexander Thompson located on the place now owned and occupied by his grandson, Dr. Berry M. Thompson, and built the first mill on the place. He was a man then somewhat advanced in life.

From HISTORY OF PIKE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, 1798-1876, by L.W. Conerly: The Thompson ancestors were from Scotland. Some of them settled in New York, North Carolina and Georgia. Alexander Thompson, Sr and son James, fought in the battle of King's Mountain. he was wounded in the head. A man named Griffith was hot and when Thompson stooped to raise him up a ball stuck him in the forehead, passed over his head under the scalp and came out at the back of his neck, leaving a scar were hair was prevented from growing.

Alexander Thompson settled on the place on which John Hopkins lived and died. He was a most excellent man and was one of the first elders of the Presbyterian church of Danielsville before its removal to town, when it stood two miles south of town and was known as Pisgah church. About 1820, Alexander Thompson, Jr. sold his place near Danielsville to a Mr. Towns, and removed to Mississippi, and the subsequent history of him and his family is unknown to me.

Arthur Lee "Heavy" Thompson, age 84, of Lexington, Alabama, passed away Saturday, June 14, 2014, at his residence after an extended illness. Mr. Thompson was a native of Lauderdale County, Alabama, owner of A.L. Thompson Builders Supply and a member of Lexington United Methodist Church. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17, 2014, at Lexington United Methodist Church. Phil Springer, Kenny Baskin and Sam Hayes will be officiating. Burial will follow in Barnett Cemetery.
Visitation will be from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, June 16, 2014, at Lexington United Methodist Church.

Survivors are his wife, Stella Martha Smith Thompson, Lexington, Alabama; one son, Mickey Thompson and wife, Regina, Lexington, Alabama; one daughter, Martha Lee Mitchell and husband, Kim, Lexington, Alabama; one sister-in-law, Nellerene Thompson, Lexington, Alabama;Six grandsons, Todd and Alanna Sullivan, Chase Sullivan, Heath Thompson, Logan Thompson, Jacob and Amber Mitchell, Lauren and Justin Bowen; two great-grandchildren, Katelyn Sullivan and Silas Mitchell; several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, J.M. "Mac" and Ollie Thompson, and two brothers, J.O. "Orbie" Thompson and W.M. "Billy" Thompson.

Loretto Memorial Chapel is in charge of all arrangements.

Affectionately referred to as Mr. Heavy, A.L. Thompson was a beloved resident of Lexington, Alabama, a community he deeply cherished. Many know him for the business he began in 1957, A.L. Thompson Builder's Supply, but the people of Lexington know he was much more than a local business owner. He was both the actual and honorary father, grandfather, and friend to all he met.

Loving husband, faithful friend and Lexington High School's number one fan, Mr. Heavy represented the best of what Lexington had to offer. He assisted any in need that he met, supported his family to ensure their happiness and success, and gave out more than a few quarters to the young people lucky enough to get a hug from Heavy. "Don't spend it all in once place!" A.L. loved his church, helped start the first fire department of Lexington, and was a charter member of the Lexington Lion's Club. No matter who he met, they were treated as family.

Although Mr. Heavy will not be selling lumber, frequenting LHS sporting events, or making us laugh with his witty one-liners, his impact on all of us will not pass. He has touched the community and forever improved it with the nondiscriminatory openness and love he shared with all. It is notable that Mr. Heavy passed away on Father's Day weekend, as his fatherly example is one that has blessed the community for decades and will continue to serve as a model toward which to strive.

Pallbearers will include Terry Thompson, Rodney Jones, Billy Don Thompson, Tommy Springer, Sam Newton, Mark Hammond, Kyle Davis and Zach Bunnell (representing all past and present youth, so special to Mr. Heavy).

Honorary pallbearers will include Ted Hammond, Steve Johnson, Tommy Smith, Jim Smith, Wilmer Springer, Rickey Littrell, Spencer Michael, Kevin Pettus, Bobby McGuire and the Fellowship Sunday School Class.

In HISTORICAL SKETCHES, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES AND EARLY SETTLERS IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA, p 72-76, it is noted that: "James Thompson had in his young manhood fought the British and Tories at Cowpens, King's Mountain, and Guilford Court House. He married after the war, Sarah, the daughter of the widow Saye, whose husband had been killed in the Battle of Savannah, Ga, on the 9th of October 1779. James Thompson and his wife, Sarah, raised two sons and several daughters. Two of their daughters became wives of the two Carringtons, the sons of Rev. Timothy Carrington, a Baptist Minister, and perhaps the first pastor of Lystra Church. From these two daughters of James Thompson are numerous Carringtons now residing in Madison County and elsewhere. James Thompson's youngest daughter, then somewhat advanced in life, became the wife of John Bell, of Hall County, GA, a nephew of old Jim Bell.

He met a John Alexander who hired Jimmie to plow for him. The Alexanders were Presbyterians and they took Jimmie into their home and reared him. He was sent to his first formal school. John Alexander had one child, a daughter Ruth. Jimmie fell in love with Ruth and they wanted to marry. Her parents did not allow this until Ruth was 18 and Jimmie 21. The John Alexander and James Thompson families emigrated from Scotland to America about the 1730s. They settled about 20 mile west of Philadelphia, PA" from Calvin G. Floyd, THOMPSON MILL HISTORY.

PAMPA-Traffic Accident Fatal for Child

Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon for Robert D. Thompson, 3 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Thompson, who was killed at 12:25 Tuesday afternoon in the streets of Pampa. This was the first traffic fatality in the city of Pampa this year. Services will be held in the First Baptist Church in Pampa with the Rev. E. Douglas Carver, pastor the church, officiating. Burial will be in the Fairview cemetery with the Duenkel-Carmichael funeral home in charge of the arrangements. Officers reported that the small child was playing about 50 yards from his home and ran from behind a parked car into the path of an automobile driven by J.B. Massa, co-owner of the Soft Water Service Company. The child died instantly. Attending physicians reported that the young boy died of a skull fracture. The child is survived by his parents; one sister, Dorothy; grandparents, Mrs. A.P. Thompson of Breckenridge, and Mr. and Mrs. Marvin W. Payne, Duncan, Oklahoma; uncles Fred Thompson, former mayor of Pampa, and Fritz Thompson of Borger. (Unidentified clipping from 1947)

23085 I66  Thompson  Ruth  Abt 1763  Abt 1860  SUCCESSION RECORDS OF ST.HELENA PARISH, LOUISIANA 1804-1854,
E. Russ Williams, Jr., c1966, p. 31 NOTE (Patricia Ezell): In LA, Succession Records are the equivalent of Probate Records.

Ruth Thompson, dgt. of Alexander Thompson and Elizabeth Hodge of Elbert Co. GA, married about 1787 to Henry Strickland, b. 1766, N.C., d. Madison County, GA Feb 1817. Henry was the son of Solomon Strickland and Amy Pace.

In the 1820 census of St. Helena Parish, LA., Ruth Stricklin appears as a widow over 45 yrs of age, has 1 boy age 18-25, 2 girls 16-25, 1 boy and 1 girl 10-15 yrs of age.

On 10 Apr 1823, Ruth Strickling married Benjamin Bagley in Amite County, MS.

On 29 Oct 1824, Benjamin Bagley and wife, sold to Elizabeth White, chattel (probably a slave) in Amite County, MS. Conveyance Book I, page 2, p.68.

On 28 Sep 1826, Benjamin Bagley sold to K. & R. Strickland in Amite County, land Conveyance Book 2, p.172

Benjamin Bagley had probably been married before his marriage to Ruth as he appears in the 1810 Amite County census with a family. He received a land grant in Amite County on 21 Dec 1811, Township 3 North, Range 13 East, Section 24, 505 acres. He received another land grant in Amite County, MS. on 15 Oct 1816, Township 3North Range 6 East. This 2nd land grant was assigned to Josiah Powell on 1 July 1827 which may be a sign that Benjamin and Ruth moved.... or it could just be that he sold the land.--(Patricia Ezell)

The BAGLEY family does not appear in the 1850 census for Amite, Wilkinson, or Franklin Counties, MS, nor do they appear in the 1850 census for St.Helena, East or West Feliciana.
A number of the STRICKLAND children were in the 1850 St.Helena Parish census: Cade, James and Willis (at least).
There is no succession record for Ruth Thompson, Ruth Stricklin, or Ruth Bagley in the St.Helena Parish records.
One curious thing is how did Ruth Thompson from GA to MS? With whom did she come? Henry Stricklin died in 1817 in Madison County, GA. (at least according to Albert Casey's book, AMITE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI AND ITS ENVIRONS, p. 589. It's probably that she came with some of her adult children who had already married while still living in GA., i.e. , like Elizabeth STRICKLAND who married Edward WHITE about 1814 in Elbert County, GA, Nancy STRICKLAND who married Grant Rice TAYLOR in Madison Co. GA on 19 Sep 1818, Willis H. STRICKLAND who married Amy in 1816 in Madison Co.GA (this family went to Tangipahoa LA where he founded Tangipahoa Baptist Church).

A Funeral Service for Darien will be held on Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at the Fairmont Community Church. The Graveside Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. at the Greenwood Cemetery in York, Nebraska.

Public visitation will be Monday from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Farmer & Son Funeral Home in Geneva, Nebraska.

Memorials are suggested to the Fairmont Community Church in Fairmont, Nebraska.

Due the Covid 19 Epidemic, we are allowed to have 75% capacity at indoor Funerals. We will be following all Covid 19 guidelines and practicing social distancing. The Funeral Service will be live-streamed on our facebook page. You can find our page at @friendfuneraldirectors or by searching for our facebook page by searching 'Farmer & Son Funeral Home.' It is a public facebook page so you do not need facebook to watch the service.

Darien Eugene Thomsen was born January 16, 1926 to Emil & Dora (Christensen) Thomsen on the family farm 3 miles west of Cordova, Nebraska. He passed away on October 2, 2020 at the Fillmore County Hospital in Geneva, Nebraska at the age of 94 years, 8 months, and 17 days.

Darien was baptized April 11, 1926 at the Danish Lutheran Church in Cordova. He grew up on farms in York & Fillmore County through the 8th grade. He attended high school in Exeter and graduated in 1943.

Darien worked at various jobs after graduation including driving a truck working wheat harvest, at the Burlington railroad yard in Lincoln, Nebraska and at the Fairmont Airbase.

He was united in marriage to Betty Sluka on January 30, 1949 at the Grace Evangelical Lutheran parsonage in Geneva with the Rev. D. Grummert officiating. Because of the extreme snow that winter, only four people could attend the wedding.

Darien then started farming and lived on the same farm until he moved to Heritage in 2012. He was proud of the work he did on his own to improve the farm through the years.

Darien liked people. He liked to tease and always had a joke or a puzzle to have you try to figure out. In his younger years, he liked to hunt and fish. He also liked to do wood working and making things for people. He enjoyed travelling and visiting family. After the children were grown, he and Betty travelled many winters to Arizona to visit two of his uncles and aunts who spent winters there.

He and Betty liked to entertain too. Besides holidays with family, there were many card parties with friends. In the early years, everyone had children at home so there were usually more kids than adults at these parties. The kids would play together or play the card game, spoons. What a noisy bunch.

Since no one could attend their wedding on account of snow, they had a big celebration on their 25th and 50th wedding anniversary. Their 50th anniversary was on a particularly warm day.

Darien loved to go to garage sales and auctions, and he had many collections. More than anything else, he loved his family and friends. He always enjoyed visits with his grandchildren and in the later years his great grandchildren.

Darien's family said he was like a cat with 9 lives because he had some close calls through the years. The 9 passed by, they knew he was a man with a lot of experiences that kept his guardian angel busy.

Darien was a member of the Fairmont Community Church in Fairmont, Nebraska.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother Dwaine Thomsen; wife Betty Thomsen; son Steven Thomsen; daughter Gayla Probasco; granddaughter Kari Probasco; and brothers-in-law Paul Bulwan and Irvin Sluka.

He is survived by his son Gene & Connie Thomsen of Lincoln, Nebraska; son-in-law George Probasco of Arapahoe, Nebraska; sister Dolores Bulwan of York, Nebraska; sister-in-law Olga Sluka of Geneva, Nebraska; grandchildren Todd & Heather Probasco of Fairmont, Nebraska, Ryan & Lindsay Probasco of Broomfield, Colorado, Erin & August Portz of Appleton, Wisconsin, Jennifer Thomsen of Omaha, Nebraska, Jason & Laura Thomsen of Lincoln, Nebraska; great grandchildren Grace, Tripp, & Daniel Probasco of Fairmont, Nebraska, Aynslea & Delaney Portz of Appleton, Wisconsin, Avery, Brooke, Hailey, & Blake Thomsen of Lincoln, Nebraska, Harper Probasco of Denver, Colorado; and nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.
