Longtime Horseman, Rancher, Cattleman Passes Away Walter C. “Buster” Hargis, 90, of South Greenfield, Missouri, passed away Sunday morning, January 4, 2015, at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, following hip surgery. He was born on April 22, 1924 in Neola, Missouri, to James W. and Elizabeth (Killingsworth) Hargis. Buster married Patsy (Myers) Hargis on May 20, 1950 in Greenfield, MO. They shared 64 years together raising four children in the Pennsboro home on Turnback Creek, where they lived 41 years before building a new home on their other farm on Limestone Creek. He was known far Buster was working he loved when he broke and wide for trading on his farm doing what his hip unloading gates.
horses and hauling cattle for the last 65 years. Buster truly loved trading and making a dollar. The family has no idea just how many horses he traded, but it would be in the thousands. Buster loved clearing the lands and sawing the logs from the farms and has done this since 1930’s when you used horses to pull the logs out. He told the story of trading a pocket knife for a mare with fistulous withers and from that day on he traded horses. Buster was a friend to many throughout Dade and surrounding counties. If you needed a helping hand, done right by him, he would help any-
one willing to help themselves get a start in life. He loved red and will be remembered for the red pickups with a rearing stallion emblem on the front. He was well known at the stockyards, traveling to Springfield and Joplin many, many times throughout his life. Up until his death, he was still hauling cattle to and from the yards. Buster rode in his last Buffalo Days Parade in May of 2014, at the age of 90. He always made sure if someone wanted to ride he’d find the horse so they could participate. One of the last greatest cowboys rode his last ride.
IOOF Building In Greenfield Sold To Investor By Bob Jackson Vede!e Correspondent
One of the oldest buildings in Greenfield, Missouri, the IOOF building on North Allison Street, one half block off the northwest corner of the square, has been sold by the State IOOF Lodge to an investor from Lawrence County. The building was constructed in 1912 and served as the lodge hall for the Odd Fellows chapter until 2013 when the local chapter disbanded due to lack of members. The building, some 6000 square feet, had a first floor lodge hall, a meeting room on the second floor and kitchen and dining room on a partial third floor. The first floor had always been rented out in past years for use as a café ,pool hall, once had a 3lane bowling alley and in the 1980s Dunbrooke Sportswear used the bottom floor for sewing sport jackets, employing several
area ladies. The Lodge started in 1912 and was the leading civic club in Greenfield with leaders Rubenstein,
Russell and Griffith all active leaders in the organization. The new owners hope to lease out the first floor
for possible retail space, repair and renovate the second floor for community events. The sale of the build-
ing was completed by Kim Kinder of United Country Lowe Realty Greenfield, Missouri.

Miller Schools Looking At 4-Day School Week In 2015-2016 By Bob Jackson Vedette Correspondent
The Miller R-2 school district administration and school board are evaluating ideas in changes to the school district operation for 2015-2016. The district currently receives 42% of it revenue from local funds with the operating levy at $3.42 compared to $3.50 of all schools in Missouri and a debt service of .66 cents to pay off bonds for the Miller school buildings. Total tax rate is $4.08. Biggest loss of funds the past four years have come from the state funding and declining enrollment at all levels in the
district. That total is $592,600. The board and district is considering contracting bus and transportation
services to a private firm, freeing up money for buses and seeking input from school patrons on moving to a 4-day school

Well, we didn’t have a snow white Christmas, but the ground was white with frost Christmas morning. It soon burned off and the sun came out and gave us a beautiful day. We all enjoy the rich, wonderful food we eat during the holidays, but we are usually happy to get back to normal food. I enjoyed my bowl of chili today (Sunday). The month of December was very busy for our family. My granddaughter Holly Bloomer and
Caleb Dorsey were married 12-13-14!! The ceremony was held at the Cosmopolitan in Joplin on Main Street. Holly, her mother Anita, made beautiful decorations for the wedding. Family and some members friends helped put up those decorations and took them down after the wedding. Needless to say, it was 3:00 a.m. before the crew got to bed! Ten decorated and lighted Christmas trees had to be undressed and taken down. They were placed
around the big room, with three being placed on the platform where the bride and groom said their vows. They were so pretty. Holly’s colors were red, black and silver. The bridesmaids dresses were in those colors. The groomsmen wore black pants and grey shirts, while the groom wore a gray tux. Holly looked beautiful in her white gown. Her “naturally curly “ hair was brushed to one side and decorated with a red and silver clasp.
After the ceremony approximately 200 guests were served supper of chili or chicken and dumplings which was very good. The wedding cake was cut and served, after everyone finished eating supper. When the D.J. started the music for the dance, old ones, young ones, and middle age ones all flocked to the dance floor and danced the night away. It was so much fun. Even my sister and I joined in. We were among the “old ones.” My son Steve and Holly
did a crazy dance that I will call the “Stomp”. It was entertaining! We wish for Caleb and Holly a happy life together. They are at home in Joplin. Holly was a waitress at Mingles Cafe in Miller for some time, before she got a job in Joplin and moved there. I enjoyed the Christmas Concert put on by Miller Elementary School. My grandson, K.C. Logan, is a 6th grader who sang with his class. All the boys and girls looked so good dressed
up in their best clothes. Some of the girls wore pretty sparkly dresses and shoes. I commend that music teacher for getting that program together so well. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and I hope each of us change our lives to better ourselves and for those around us. Have a good New Year!
Happy New Year. On Friday, our office was closed, but what a perfect time to get stuff done that you can’t when everyone is running around. Did so good that I went back on Saturday to finish up since I would be off the next week. Kim had the guys down for breakfast. Dustin, Wade and Jacob. They had fried squirrel. Made me think of all the times that Lawrence Jones had all the guys over for their annual big breakfast. He left behind many memories. Our deepest sympathy to the families of Vesta Jennings. She fought a long hard battle with cancer. She always had a smile on her face. She is now in her heavenly home. She has worked for this heavenly mansion for years in the community and her home church. May the family have comfort in knowing she is in no more pain. It does seem to be harder to lose a loved one around the holidays. But she was celebrating in heaven on Christmas Day. Also, the loss of Jean Limpus who lived all her
life in this community. Raised her children and several of her grandchildren were raised in this community. As I said it is so hard to lose a loved one around the holidays. May they be comforted in knowing so many prayers are sent their way. On Sunday, we went to church at Liberty. Kelbey and Asa went to Arcola Christian church with Dustin and family. On Monday, I took off shopping all day by myself. Got a lot done and made it home by 7:30. Sister, Lynetta Leeper, took mom, Betty Vandegrift, for her other eye surgery on Monday. She was going to spend the night with her. Sister, Linda. didn’t know she was planning on spending the night, so she drove to mom’s to spend the night. So, since they were both there to spend the night, they called me to come over and so I stopped at home and unloaded all my goodies and off I went to their house. We talked and visited. Mom got tired and we tucked her into bed
around midnight and the three of us stayed up all night and talked. Never too old to have a slumber party. Lynetta took her to Dr. Huntress the next morning to get her patch off and all is good. We all went back to our homes with a smile on our face and a light heart. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Kim couldn’t believe I could function all day Tuesday. No nap; worked all day around the house; watched a movie that night; and in bed by 10. I will admit I slept until 8 Wednesday morning. Up and around as we were having a New Year’s Eve party at our house. Had the basement all set up with card tables. Those enjoying the evening of good food and fellowship were hosts, Kim and Lesia Jones, Carol Jones, Betty Vandegrift, Peggy Jones, G.D. Myers, Billy Myers, Dillard and Phyllis Myers, Chuck and Pris Myers, Amy and Keith. Everyone stayed until after midnight except one couple. We said we were going to have to do this
more often. Melinda and the little ones enjoyed New Year’s Eve at the Arcola Christian Church party. I understand Wade and Chloe had went with Dee Glenn to bake cookies for the party. I know they had fun. Dee might have another opinion. They are a wild pair. Kelbey and Asa Bowles spent New Year’s Eve at the home of Brian and Jaime White along with Mr. and Mrs. Eric Allison. She said it was a great night. I don’t know if the secrets are out, but there are several new babies due in July 2015. The population is growing. Congratulations to all the new parents to be. On Thursday, New Year’s Day, Kim and Jacob cut some wood and I stayed in my warm house and started getting tax papers sorted and ready. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it and it always seems to be me!!! Kelbey and Asa Bowles visited in our home on Tuesday evening. Asa just came to eat some more chocolate
covered cherries. He has gotten to enjoy the Christmas candy this year. So many are still out sick with the flu and different illness. Continue to keep all of them in your prayers. Our family really appreciate all the calls, prayers, visits and act of kindness shown to our family regarding Dustin. Continue the prayers and we are still pending the treatment course. God is good and we have seen so much goodness shown to our families the past few weeks. Thank you and God Bless. I did enjoy several days off. Didn’t really get anything done, but that’s okay. It’s still there to get done. The young 9-year-old granddaughter of Darryl and Teresa Knackstedt had to have surgery for her appendix that had ruptured. She has been one sick little girl. Her mother is former Brittney Knackstedt. Our prayers are with them. Buster Hargis fell on Wednesday and was rushed to the hospital. He ended up having hip sur-
gery on New Year’s Day. Sister, Lynetta and Tim Leeper, enjoyed having their daughter, Shay, and family from Texas for several days the weekend before Christmas. It is hard living a distance and dividing your time between parents’ homes during the holidays. Lucille Franklin is home and doing much better since her hospital stay. She is to stay in for a few weeks. Kay Godfrey was taking her back to the doctor for a follow up today, Friday. She has had several phone calls and some visitors and she really appreciates all of them. I know mom, Betty Vandegrift, has taken her food and they visit all the time. They are together all the time; just can’t get her out. Got to get her better so they can pick up their running again. I know I am forgetting something, but my mind is elsewhere as you can understand. I do hope everyone has a blessed new year 2015.
May the New Year 2015 bring to fruit goodness and concern for all. We need it. As is customary Christmas Eve Candlelight Service was well attended. It is so meaningful each year. I was unable to attend. And the Christmas luncheon at UMC Family Life Center was well attended too. Thanks to Shirley Mitchell family and her volunteers. Paul and Patty had volunteered but both came down with a bug. For a first time the midnight
Candlelight Service at the Crossing was well attended. Christmas Day was a quiet day at my house, our Christmas was Saturday night. My visitors have been David and Donna Kennedy of Springfield and John and Janet Schudy of Halfway. Donna and David brought goodies. David also did a honey do job or two for me. John and Janet shared a meal with me, she is my niece. Saturday afternoon J.L. and Pixy arrived from Quincy, Illinois.
Patty visited her aunt Pauline in Springfield Saturday morning. For our early evening dinner Patty and Paul brought our Christmas dinner for the five of us. Granddaughter Lorie and John Whitford and family spent Christmas week with her parents Paul and Nancy Evermon in Anchorage Alaska. Yes they had snow and went skiing. I look forward to my helpers, Karrie my cleaning lady, the therapist, shower lady and the nurse. They keep me under control! The Sands family and Neal families enjoyed Christmas with daughter and sister Karla
and family in Springfield. Here are some suggestions you might have come up at Christmas time, or any time. 1. To your enemy, forgiveness. 2. To an opponent, tolerance. 3.To a friend, your heart. 4. To all, charity. 5. To every child, a good example and to yourself respect!! My New Year’s Eve was a quiet one, when the New Year came in I was sound asleep in bed. Another quiet day New Years Day. I watched the Missouri Minnesota football game at the Citrus Bowl.
It was a white Christmas for the Hawks family when they gathered December 27 to celebrate in Lockwood. The falling snow added to the excitement. The children worked on holiday crafts, which were soon filled with a variety of gifts. A delicious meal was enjoyed and then photos were taken. The annual gift exchange followed which added joy and laughter to the room. Everyone is looking forward to the next family gathering.

by Sara Johnston Another day is upon us. What will our day be like? Will there be obstacles for us to overcome? Maybe something out of the ordinary will happen? We may have a joyful day or a sad day. Who knows, until we face each day as it comes. I know when my husband died I had a difficult time facing each
day. I know I couldn’t get through a single day without the Lord’s guiding hand. Jesus is a light that shines. He’s a song in my heart. He will give us the strength that we need for each day. He knows how our hearts ache with pain or when we are joyful. Just cry out to him. He’s never too busy to answer your heart’s cry.
