Date Born	December 22, 1936
Date Died	December 20, 2000
Comments:	KENNETH RAY BURKE – Class of 1955 Ken was born in Hollywood, Mo., Dec. 22, 1936, and graduated from KHS with the Class of 1955. He died at his home in San Francisco, CA., on December 20, 2000, surrounded by many family members and close friends. Ken had suffered for many years with severe heart valve problems requiring extensive surgeries. He was cremated and his ashes returned to Southeast Missouri to be scattered on a farm near his birthplace. On January 13, 2001 a memorial service was held to remember Ken. This service was at Swedenborgian Church in San Francisco with the Rev. Dr. Rachel Rivers officiating. Eulogies were spoken by several of his friends and family. A reception followed at Ken's home. There has been a memorial scholarship fund established in Ken's name. Contributions may be made to: Ken Burke Memorial Find, Exchange Bank, P.O. Box 403, Santa Rosa, CA 95402 As Ken, (prior to his retirement), and many of his personal friends were involved in the publishing business, a book was devised by these friends to commemorate Ken's life. In reading this book, I was particularly taken by a passage written by one contributor. It read: "How like this world that your great heart-opened once, twice, three times more—should bring out the best in us. How like your heart to give and give, not once a year but each day, as if giving like breathing kept you alive.. How like this world that your heart should take you from us, the very heart that showed us the way to open our own." That was definitely a fitting tribute to the Ken Burke I knew and loved.

Deceased Full Name	Elizabeth Smith Parker
Date Born	April 1915
Date Died	May 13, 2003
Comments:	ELIZABETH SMITH PARKER - CLASS OF 1933 & Former Teacher at KHS Published on 5/17/2003, The Cincinnati Enquirer Written by her daughter, Anne Garland Parker Colter PARKER, Anna Elizabeth. On a beautiful spring day in April 1915, Anna Elizabeth Smith burst onto this planet in Piggott, a tiny town in northeast Arkansas. She immediately proceeded to spread joy and happiness to everyone she encountered. She continued that mission for 87 years! When her baby sister, Alice Hope, was born four years later, their exceptional parents, Clarence and Blanche Reeves Smith, realized they had their hands full! Elizabeth and Hope grew up three miles away in Kennett, Missouri, in a wholesome, loving, affirming environment, punctuated with charm and wit. This is where Elizabeth learned her value system of Christian principles and positive thinking, being taught that she could achieve anything in life to which she set her mind and for which she studied. She did. At the age of ten she discovered the boys at the First Baptist Church were cheating to beat the girls in a Bible Drill. She called them on their scandalous behavior, thus intriguing the ringleader, Garland Glenwood Parker. He pursued her through Kennett High School, where she graduated Valedictorian in 1933, while Garland graduated second in the class as Salutatorian. Even with her scholastic achievements, she found time to study piano, be a Cheerleader and play the trombone in the City Band. Elected President of her sorority in college, Elizabeth charmed her way into the hearts of her fellow students, being voted Outstanding Personality in the Senior Class at Southeast Missouri State University, where she graduated with a degree in Education in 1937. She finally accepted Garland's proposal, and they were married that year on November 14. After working in Jefferson City, MO, she moved with her husband to Sikeston, MO, and in 1941 returned to her parents' home in Kennett to birth their first child, Alice Hope Parker. Garland accepted a teaching job at the prestigious Newman School in New Orleans, LA, where their second daughter, Anne Garland Parker, was born 1942. Elizabeth taught high school here and in her hometown in Kennett. The family later lived in Madison, WI, where Garland received his Masters and Doctorate degrees from the University of Wisconsin. They moved to Cincinnati, OH in 1948, where he became a Professor at the University of Cincinnati. Given the times, you might think that Elizabeth became ""just a housewife'' and ""Professor's wife''. She assumed those roles, assuredly; but, she also became a leader in every aspect of her life. She was active in civic, political, social and religious arenas. She was President of the PTA at her children's schools. She taught French at Withrow High School, the New Woodward High School, where she was Senior Class Sponsor, Hughes High School and the University of Cincinnati. She served on the Board of Christian Education and taught Sunday School at Mt. Auburn Baptist Church. She entertained at home, fed students of all ages, was the ""Mother'' to International students and Hostess to all. There were always boyfriends and giggly girlfriends of her daughters in her home. Her door was open to everyone, regardless of race, religion or nationality. She organized events at church, was Precinct Chairperson in her neighborhood, and began a life-long relationship with a small, intellectual group of Professors' wives, lovingly known as ""The Talking Club,'' which still meets to this day! Their only rule was that they would speak ""adult'' and talk about issues other than their children. Of course, they did both! In 1961, Elizabeth was Mother of the Bride when Hope married John Lathrop of Rochester, NY. Three and a half years later, their hearts were broken when they buried John, who was killed in a car accident. Joy returned in 1965 when Anne married Edward Colter of Boca Raton, FL. With both daughters gone and ""off the payroll,'' Elizabeth and Garland resumed their Honeymoon, traveling worldwide. They loved going to Europe, and while living in the Middle East, they made many lasting relationships with educators in the region. She and her husband were active members of the Westwood United Methodist Church, where they were team teachers for the Wesmates Sunday School Class. After moving to Poinciana, FL in 1987, at the age of 73, they joined the First Methodist Church in Kissimmee, where they were asked to start a Sunday School Class, which later became known as the Parker-Genesis Class. This began a happy relationship with many people whom they dearly loved. E Elizabeth continued spreading her Christian love and joy through her church, her neighborhood and even to people in the hospital and Good Samaritan Health Care Center, where she peacefully left this planet on Tuesday, May 13, 2003. She had a deep belief in God and His plan of salvation through His Son, Jesus. She accepted by faith that by committing her heart and life to Him, she would spend eternity in Heaven. It was her fervent desire that everyone she knew would do likewise. God took Garland home first, because as we all know, he truly could not have lived without her. Left to mourn her passing, yet celebrate her life and its impact on them are her daughter Anne Garland Parker Colter, her son-in-law Edward J. Colter, with whom she had a wonderful relationship, both of Houston, TX; her baby sister, who grew up to become Dr. Hope Smith Daugherty and who resides in Poinciana, FL; her nieces, whom she loved like daughters, Elizabeth (Beth) Anne Daugherty and Lynn Hope Daugherty Shrewsbury, both professional career women of St. Louis, MO, and her highly respected Nuclear Physicist nephew Dr. Brett Parker of Stony Brook, NY, whose work she laughingly could not comprehend, but whom she dearly loved. If everyone whose life she touched could pass on what she taught and lived, what a wonderful world this could be! Well done, Elizabeth! We will be gathering at Grissom Funeral Home at 803 Emmett Street in Kissimmee, FL 34741 on Sunday, May 18 from 2-4 P.M. for Visitation and on Monday, May 19, at 11 A.M. at Grissom to celebrate the life of Elizabeth. If you desire, a donation may be made to First United Methodist Church, 101 W. Dakin Ave., Kissimmee, FL 34741 for the Garland G. and Elizabeth Smith Parker Memorial Library Fund or to a charity of your choice. Thank you, and a big thanks to everyone who enriched their lives.

Comments:	ROBERT SAMUEL STROUP – Class of 1951 DDD, Tues., Dec. 28, 1961 Funeral services were held today for Robert Samuel (Sammy) Stroup, former Kennett resident who was killed in an accidental shooting incident on Sunday, Dec. 24, 1961, in Doniphan. The Rev. Robert Crabb, pastor of the Shady Grove Baptist Church, officiated at the 3 p.m. services held at the McDaniel Funeral Service Chapel in Kennett. Interment was in Oak Ridge Cemetery with McDaniel in change of arrangements. Stroup, 30, sustained a fatal wound in the right forehead between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m., Sunday, when a double-barrel shotgun accidentally discharged. Officials told this story: Stroup drove his wife, the former Peggy Lou Clevenger of Kennett, and their two children to church at 10 a.m. Before returning to his home on the outskirts of Doniphan, he reported to the Doniphan Community Hospital where he was on 24-hour call as a laboratory technician. He changed into dress clothes and left the home, en route to church services. As he backed his auto out of the driveway, he apparently saw a rabbit or a quail and stopped the car to shoot the animal. He pulled on the vehicle's emergency brake and left the motor running. After he stepped out of the car, he evidently reached back in to pick up the shotgun which had no trigger guard. The weapon discharged and the blast killed him instantly. Robert Samuel Stroup was born on Nov 7, 1931, in St. Louis, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur S. Stroup. He attended elementary schools in St. Louis and Kennett High School and was a member of the Shady Grove Baptist Church.

Redman of Kennett, Aviation Radioman Second Class in the U.S. Navy, has been reported "Killed in a plane crash while in the performance of his duty and in the service of his country," the telegram from the Navy Department being received by his mother on Sunday. The full text of the telegram states: "The Navy Department deeply regrets to inform you that your son Winifred E. Redman, Aviation Radioman Second Class; USNR, was killed in a plane crash while in the performance of his duty and in the service of his country. " The Department extends to you its sincerest sympathy in your great loss. On account of existing conditions the body if recovered cannot be returned at present. If further details are received you will be informed. To prevent possible aid to our enemies please do no divulge name of his ship or station. "Vice Admiral Randall Jacobs, Chief of Naval Personnel" Young Redman who was born and reared in Kennett would have been 22 years old had he lived until Friday of this week. He received his education in the schools of this city, being graduated from the Kennett High School with the class of 1940, after completing a business course. Immediately upon graduation he accepted a fulltime position with the Bank of Kennett where he had worked while going to school, and was a valued employee of that bank at the time he enlisted in the Navy on May 25, 1942. His boot training was taken at Great Lakes Naval Training Station, after which he was sent to Northwestern University for specialized training, and after that he trained at the Memphis Naval Base and Jacksonville, Fla., before being sent to Rhode Island and California to complete his training before being assigned to an aircraft carrier. He has been aboard ship since Christmas Day, 1943. On his last leave home in June of last year, Redman was enthusiastic over the training he had received, and was anxious to get into active service. In all of his letters he has been most cheerful and seemed delighted with the service he was performing. His last letter to his family was written on May 31, and received early in June. He had written one letter to the Bank of Kennett on June 6, and this was probably his last letter to friends in this community. Winifred was a member of the Baptist Church of Kennett, and was an unusually intelligent young man, with the brightest of prospects upon his return from the service. In addition to his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Misses LaVergne and Mary Ellen Redman, one brother, Alvin Glenn Redman and a half-brother Joe Redman.

Deceased Full Name	James Kent Sexton
Date Born	April 11, 1941
Date Died	January 11, 2002
Comments:	Area businessman succumbs to long illness 01/15/02 Buddy Winkle Longtime Kennett businessman James Kent Sexton died Friday, Jan. 11. Since 1966 Sexton has worked in the community, providing real estate and insurance from the Rigdon Sexton office at 412 First St. Originally he worked for Fred Rigdon, who began the business in the forties. Rigdon had brought Sexton in to take care of the insurance side of the business while Rigdon worked real estate. Fred Rigdon passed away about a year ago. After years of taking care of the insurance side of Rigdon Sexton’s business Sexton was encouraged by Rigdon to become a MIA, a Member of the Appraisal Institute. This membership is very prestigious to appraisers. This designation showed Sexton’s professionalism and thoroughness when it came to his work. Mayor Charles Brown who is also in the insurance business said, "He was very professional in his dealings. He had the ability to put together big plans – the community will miss that and his type of expertise." Brown went on to mention the subdivisions Sexton had developed and his outstanding statewide reputation for the professionalism and expertise in his work. In all the years Sexton lived and worked in Kennett undeniably he was a businessman, on the board for the Cotton Exchange Bank. But for many years he also served as the president of the country club. In the ‘70s and ‘80s Sexton served as greens chairman for the country club. He was very passionate about his work. Every morning before he would go to his office he would stop by the country club to make sure that everything was working right. Though he was in charge of the greens he didn’t just sit around and give others instructions. Many times he would get on his tractor and work the greens himself. He even helped dig the lake. On Monday, Jan. 14 the board of the Kennett Country Club voted unanimously to place a memorial on the first tee box. The plaque was dedicated to the memory of James Kent Sexton for his contributions to the Kennett Country Club. Before Sexton passed away a few members of the board were able to tell him about what they had done. Though Sexton was too ill to talk he was not too ill to smile a big, broad smile. Needless to say, Sexton was pleased. In addition to his service to the country club Sexton was a wonderful golfer. He won many tournaments including the Kennett 4-Ball, a tournament that involved the use of four players. Attorney Jim Reynolds of Crow, Reynolds, Shetley and McVey often played golf with Sexton at the country club. Reynolds said of his old friend, "He was a real character." Reynolds went on to tell that Sexton could drive by any house or property and have the uncanny knack for telling the property’s history from as far back as at least 50 years. He could tell you when it was bought, when it was sold, who it belonged to, who it once belonged to and a little bit about the kind of person who owned it. Wilma Doherty, who worked as a secretary for Sexton for 30 years spoke fondly of her employer. She mentioned that one of Sexton’s favorite things was when she would bring him a batch of her chocolate marshmallow brownies. Doherty also talked about the fact that sometimes he would just sit and visit with his clients for hours at a time. Doherty even told her favorite story of the joke she had played on Sexton during his birthday. She had given him a cake that she had supposedly baked. When he cut into it he couldn’t cut it. "At first," Doherty said, "he didn’t want to tell me that he couldn’t cut my cake. He was a real gentleman. By the time he figured out it was just foam rubber decorated as a cake we were all laughing." Sadly, with both of Rigdon Sexton’s founding fathers missing a question comes to mind. What’s going to happen to the business? Despite Sexton’s absence Rigdon Sexton will stay in business. Sexton’s wife Viretta will step into her husband’s shoes as owner of the business while several of the remaining staff will take on bigger duties in their job. Pat Wilson, who has worked at Rigdon Sexton for almost 35 years will go and get her insurance license so that she can sell crop and hail insurance. Wilson said she learned a lot from Sexton in all the years she had worked for him. "He was an intelligent man. Very precise. A good businessman, father and boss," Wilson said. A broker is in place to allow the further transactions of real estate so that the business can go on. Without a broker Rigdon Sexton would be forced to close its doors. Reverend Gary Mayes of First Christian Church lead services for Sexton on Monday, Jan.14. He was 60 years old when he passed away. He is survived by his wife Viretta, and his children William Kent Sexton, James Garland Sexton, Camille Berkley Lockhart and Natasia Sexton. He leaves behind one grandchild Olivia Berkley Lockhart. Donations in memory of Sexton can be made to the First Presbyterian Church, VNA Hospice Care in Kennett or the Scleroderma Research Foundation at 2320 Bath St. Suite 315, Santa Barbara, CA 93105.

Comments:	ANNETTE NOBLE MORGAN - Class of 1956 Former state Rep. Morgan dead at 63 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Annette Morgan. a former teacher who came to exert broad influence over education in the 12 years she headed the Education Committee of the Missouri House, is dead at the age of 63. Morgan, a Democrat, had battled liver cancer for five years and she died Tuesday night. She represented a Kansas City district in the General Assembly from 1981 until 1997. In her role as a committee head she played a key role in important education measures, including a 1993 plan that raised $310 million in taxes while revising the state aid formula for public schools and establishing new academic performance standards for students. Among other bills, Morgan helped sponsor measures strengthening school safety and creating the Parents as Teachers program in which experienced parents offer practical advice to new parents during home visits. In 1988 she was House sponsor of a measure that lowered the percentage of the vote needed to pass bond issues for schools. Two-thirds had been the standard -Morgan worked to lower the bar to four-sevenths. Gov. Bob Holden, who served in the House with Morgan. praised her as "one of the greatest fighters on behalf of Missouri schoolchildren." saying her name "became nationally synonymous with education al improvements." "She helped shape a decade of the most important educational reforms this state has ever seen," the governor said. "She cared deeply and led quietly," said state Auditor Claire McCaskill, who also served in the House with Morgan. "And she was probably the best role model I’ve ever -encountered for courage and integrity." Another former House colleague, U .S. Rep. Karen McCarthy of Kansas City, said Morgan had a rare quality; "the wisdom to see the big picture as well as to take it down to the individual child in the classroom." Her former colleagues recalled Morgan as a lawmaker who did not seek the limelight and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to achieve her goals. Her forte was in keeping a bill alive and pushing it forward through the legislative maze until it reached the governor’s desk. For years that meant negotiating with Senate Education Committee Chairman Harold Caskey of Butler, who is known for insisting on his position. Still, Democrats recalled, Morgan often got her way. Morgan’s legislative interests were not limited to education. Before retiring in 1997, she helped pass a bill authorizing the Midwest’s first 24-hour skilled-nursing facility for AIDS patients. National groups tapped her expertise. She served on the National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future, among others. Morgan’s father, John Noble, was a 16-year state senator from Kennett in the Bootheel, and her mother. Alletha Noble, was a lawyer and teacher. She was a granddaughter of John Bradley, who served on the Missouri Supreme Court. Morgan’s husband. William B. Morgan died in 1991. She is survived by a son, a daughter and a granddaughter, all of Kansas City. A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Kansas City.

He was totally unselfish." Suzanne Mayes, co-minister of the First Christian Church, said Cash had grown up in the church, attending with the parents and brothers and sisters.

Deceased Full Name	Don Jones
Date Born	October 13, 1935
Date Died	August 7, 2000
Comments:	Don Jones remembered by friends, family and the county he served Daily Dunklin Democrat Cathe England A man of many hats, real estate agent, insurance salesman, Dunklin County Presiding Commissioner, public administrator, husband, father, grandfather, friend and avid golfer, Don Jones, lost his battle with cancer this week on August 7. The long-time resident will be honored this week with a lifetime of fond memories. The flags at the Dunklin County Courthouse are flying at half-staff today in his honor. "I don't know of anyone who could say anything bad about Don," said Bill Clevenger, a close friend of Jones. "I have known him all my life, we have played golf together, our families have taken vacations together and they were always so much fun." Clevenger spoke of a few times when on a golf trip to the Gulf, when the vacationers enjoyed the "goofy, fun times" by just getting to get away and have a bit of fun and to do the one thing they all loved to do - golf. "There was one time when a rather large group of us were traveling to the Gulf Coast. We were traveling in three different vehicles and going just a little too fast," Clevenger said. "Don was heading up the group and a state patrolman stopped him. Don said the first thing out of the patrolman's mouth was "I think that you should have those other two cars of people help you pay for this ticket. We all got a really good laugh about this one. We had been teasing earlier about if we got a ticket, we'd all have to help pay for it." Jones was an active member of the community all of his life. He was always working toward the betterment of the county and community. "He always worked very hard at the tasks he decided to take on," said good friend Charles Isbell. "He was very instrumental in helping get the sales tax passed several years ago. Don, along with the other two commissioners, was an also very strong supporter of the Scenic Byway that recently was granted. "He worked tirelessly on this issue, just as he always did on anything he was involved in," Isbell said. Jones worked in his real estate and insurance business until just a few months ago. "When Don's license was to be renewed a few months ago, he then sold his business to Ben Cantrell," said L.C.Cuff. "He had been in real estate and insurance for much of his life and continued until his license was to be renewed. Don was always fair to everyone he helped with real estate and insurance." "He was an active, funny person," Cuff said. "No matter where our group was going or what we were doing, we always had a great time." Clevenger reiterated the funny side of Jones, "He had such a dry funny wit about him. We are sure going to miss him. We have played golf and got together for coffee for many years. In the past couple of months, no one in our group has really wanted to play golf. Although, just a couple of weeks ago when the weather turned so cool over the weekend, Don and the group did get to play a round of golf. That was really nice. I think he really enjoyed it. It's just not been the same without him there and it is definitely going to be different in the future. "The one thing I remember most about Don is that even though he beat the pants off you in a golf game, he always made sure and told you how good you had played and how bad he had played," Clevenger said. "He was just a really funny guy and was always having fun teasing everyone. He also was very pleased with the making and repairing of the golf clubs he did. He would always make one of us something special, or we'd have him repair something and he wouldn't let us pay him for it. We used to tell him it was too rich for us to owe him." The Cuffs, Coles, Carters, Clevengers and Joneses, all did a lot of traveling together having a great time. Most of the time going on golf tournament vacations. Mary Lee Carter told of another instance where Jones was leading the pack of vehicles on a trip and one of the vehicles was stopped for traveling too fast. "The two vehicles were traveling together, but this time, Don's vehicle wasn't stopped," Carter said. "Our vehicle was. My husband told the officer the reason that we were traveling a bit too fast was that we were "just trying to keep up with the Jones.' Everyone got a good laugh about it. Fortunately, this time we didn't get a ticket. The patrolman just gave us a warning." Jones' family, friends and others in and around this area will greatly miss him. He leaves behind to mourn his passing, his wife, Shirley; daughters, Marti Jones and Christy Luther; a son, Dr. Rick Jones; four grandchildren, Matthew and Benjamin Jones, Jeremy and Stuart Luther; four step-grandchildren, Stacey and Charles, Jennifer and Elizabeth Karsten. He was preceded in death by an infant grandson, Douglas. Don served this community for most of his life. He served as the public administrator from 1969 until 1984. In 1993 he was elected as the Dunklin County Presiding Commissioner. Throughout his life, Don was a member of the Kennett Jaycees, Lions Club, Delta Fair Board, and other organizations and activities in the community. Visitation will be held this evening from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at McDaniel Funeral Service in Kennett.
