CALVIN DALE RANDOLPH - Of Dixon, MO
formerly of Arnold, MO died on Sunday, March 16, 2008 at Grenada, MS. Son of
the late Opal (Winterbottom) and Randolph. Beloved husband of Marie, loving
father of Diana (Ron) Bray of Fenton, MO and Donna (Mark) Howard of Fenton,
MO. Dear grandfather of Jessica and Alisha Bray; dear brother of David
(Judi) of Festus, MO. Dear Uncle of Barbara Arnold, Darla Millick and JC
Randolph and numerous cousins. Calvin was born in Eminence, MO and grew up
off little Shawnee on a farm in his younger years. As a little boy it didn't
take Calvin long to connect to the outdoors and the life he would come to
love and fulfill on his lifelong journey. Calvin served his country in the
Army and was stationed in Ft. Bliss, El Paso, TX. While in the military
Calvin learned many trades but realized he had the desire to utilize his
natural talents and became a skilled tradesman upon his discharge. He was a
skilled carpenter, contractor and for 20 years owned his own "Heating and
Cooling" business in Arnold, MO. He was very giving of his talent always
helping others or offering to assist anyone in need. There never seemed to
be a project to large or too small for Calvin to conquer. Upon his
retirement from the business Calvin decided it was time to move from the
busy city life and go back to the peace and tranquility he was raised on as
a little boy. Calvin and his wife Marie relocated to Dixon, MO in 1977 and
have resided there since. Dixon quickly became home and was blessed with so
many wonderful neighbors who have become his extended family. Every minute
of his free time was spent doing what he was put on this earth to enjoy,
hunting fishing and camping with friends. He clocked many miles across the
country and was blessed to see many of God's beautiful creations which he
thrived on. He was as skilled in his hobbies as he was skilled in his trade.
Thanks to each and everyone of you here today who fulfilled his life with
love, friendship and wonderful memories. We are celebrating his life today
knowing he left us to be called home doing what he loved the most "fishing".

five years together. It was a love we all hope for, but few find. With
their union, Lisa got three children, two sons and a daughter. Lisa
graduated from WHS with the class of ‘89 and worked various jobs in and
around Winona. She touched the lives of many people, and her only hobby
was collecting friends. Lisa had a large collection of friends, and she
loved her Lord and Savior. Working with children was her calling,
whether being in church or out. Lisa had a unique sense of humor, which
made her a joy to be with. Her laugh was contagious, her personality
loving and sweet. David fulfilled a dream of hers when he bought her a
Harley Davidson and taught her to ride. She loved the outdoors, hunting
and fishing (as in gigging), which she got pretty good at. When she
could put more fish in the boat than her uncles, she sure enjoyed her
bragging rights. Lisa was preceded in death by her father Melvin Berry,
her maternal grandparents Ola Rector and Bill Rector, and several aunts
and uncles. Lisa is survived by her husband David Reese of the home; her
mother Margie Berry of Winona, MO; her grandmother Beulah Berry of

his family, every child and grandchild. Roy loved to tell a good story,
hear a good joke, speak his mind in the face of untruth, play as a kid,
and brag about a grandkid, and loved his family. Roy believed in hard
work, choosing wisely, standing up for the little guy, saving a penny,
helping someone in need, and the Lord. Roy was a leader, in business, in
the community, in his family, and in life, never willing to go along the
path because it was the way that it had always been done, and he would
always find a way to do the impossible. Unlike some, Roy could cry in
the face of loss, and would rather die than see another son put in the
grave. Roy will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. Funeral
Services were held Monday, February 2, 2009 at the Duncan Funeral Chapel
in Mountain View, MO with Pastor Brian Ingalls officiating. Interment
was in Greenlawn Cemetery in Mountain View, MO under the direction of

Earl loved his family. They were the center of his life. Hard work was an
enjoyment to him. He was a person of integrity – keeping his word was so very
important to him. He loved his horses and was a true cowboy in every sense of
the word. There was a distinct communication between him and his horses. His
goal was to pass this trait along to his children and grandchildren. Earl so
bravely fought a long battle with heart problems but lived many good years in
spite of his sickness and pain. His battle ended, though, when Jesus so gently
came by and removed him from his suffering and anguish and took him home. Now,
he is at rest for all eternity waiting for his family to join him there. He will
be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. Funeral services were held
Monday, Feb. 15, 2010, at the Duncan Funeral Chapel in Mountain View, Mo. with

PIONEER PASSES PEACEFULLY AWAY
Mrs. Elliot Rucker Died Last Sunday, May 9, After Illness of
Four Days
Another esteemed pioneer crossed over the great divide last
Sunday when Mrs. Elizabeth Rucker passed peacefully away. The cause of death was
pneumonia, which developed only four days before her death. Mary Elizabeth
Holliday was born in Cobden, Illinois, March 12, 1855, where she spent the early
years of her girlhood. Later she spent some time in Winona, Missouri, where she
met Elliot Rucker. The friendship that sprang up ripened into love and they were
married in Winona June 7, 1874. To the union seven children were born, all but
one of whom are living to mourn the loss of one of the best mothers. They are
Mrs. George Stephenson, Mrs. Frank Young, Claude and Lee Roy of Pullman,
Lawrence E. of Olympia, Leonard J. of Eagle Creek, Oregon, and Mrs. Lillie May
Rigg, deceased. There are 17 surviving grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Rucker came
to the great west in 1886, locating at Dayton. Eight years later they came to
Pullman, where they have resided for over a quarter of a century. Over 18 years
ago she was called to sustain the severe misfortune of losing her life
companion, who fell asleep on January 4, 1962. Since that time she has trod
life's way alone. Though greatly saddened by her loss, she found rich comfort in
her communion with the Man of Sorrows. She was able to shake off the gloom and
for more than 15 years has been a happy benediction to all who have been
permitted to share her association. She remembered her Creator in the days of
her youth and in her old age she forsook him not. All the days of her life she
has loved and served Her Lord and died in the comfort of a living faith. Mrs.
Rucker was a splendid type of the days of the west. She was sturdy and frugal in
her home life. Her love of the beautiful in nature resulted in making her door
yard a bevy of beautiful flowers. In fact, her intense desire for a more
beautiful garden of roses this year led to her decease. It was after some extra
exertion in planting a few varieties of rare flowers that the fatal malady came
upon her. The end came in the early forenoon of May 9 at the age of 65 years one
month and 27 days. The funeral was conducted from the Pullman Christian church
at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 11. H. J. Reynolds, the minister, officiated. Mr. and
Mrs. A. R. Metz sang "Some Time We'll Understand" and "Safe in the Arms of
Jesus." The floral offerings were expressive of the love of relatives and
friends of which there is a host. Interment was made in Fairmount.
NOTE: She was the daughter of David King Holliday and Milley
Elizabeth Anderson Holliday. They are buried in the Old Baptist Cemetery on
Trace pond hill at Winona. Their
tombstones have been destroyed. Mary Elizabeth Rucker was a sister to Rachel
Jane Holliday Dailey. Mary Elizabeth married Elliott Rucker at Winona - they are
believed to be some of the ones who traveled the Oregon Trail.

however, than her immediate family. Bonnie dearly loved her husband
Larry, their two sons and their families. She enjoyed spending time

1, 2009, at the age of 84 years, 5 months and 18 days. Laverne attended school
until the third grade. Later in life, during World War II, Laverne became a
certified welder. Many years of her life, she was a homemaker. She dedicated her
compassion and heart to many volunteer organizations throughout her life. On
Nov. 5, 1945, Laverne was united in marriage to her lifelong love and companion
Elree Ozen Rutledge and to this union, 10 children were born. Preceding Laverne
in death were her parents, Oran John and Opal Grandstaff; husband, Elree Ozen
Rutledge; two daughters, Evelyn Lucille Pruett and Margaret Louise Landis; one
grandchild, Lanora Ann Rutledge; one sister, Rachael Louise Sartin; one niece,
Louise Ferber; one sister-in-law, Louise Grandstaff; and one brother-in-law,
Ivan Cooley. Those surviving Laverne are her children, Larry Ozen Rutledge and
wife, Patty, of Summersville, Mo., William John Rutledge and wife, Lena, of
Birch Tree, Mo., Carol Bernice Beavers and husband, Earl, of Oxford, Ark., Roy
Taylor Rutledge and wife, Renae, of Birch Tree, Mo., Jewell Ellen Uchtman and
husband, Ben Jay, of Clarkridge, Ark., Jackson Dee Rutledge and wife, Pat, of

woman who shared her big heart with everyone she came in contact with. She was a
mother, grandmother and friend to many other families – not just her own. She
always welcomed new friends or even a complete stranger with a hug and a kiss,
and her famous words, 'I love you honey” or 'Honey how are you?” Laverne took
great pride in sharing her love of Jesus with her family and preaching his
wonderful words right up until her beautiful life ended. Laverne was of the
Pentecostal faith and when she was in better health, attended the Winona
Assembly of God Church. She left behind many wonderful memories that we all will
hold dear in our hearts – the bubble gum handouts to the grandchildren, the
dollars passed out to them on birthdays and the sleepovers with 20 kids in Elree
and Laverne’s home. Everyone who knew Laverne knew that she loved the hair, the
nails, the foot massages, and the backrubs we’ve all had a hand in to make her
look like the queen she was. Laverne loved her children, brothers and sisters,
and all of her neighbors and friends more than mere words could ever express and
always spoke highly of each one. Everyone who knew Laverne loved her and she
will remain in our hearts forever. There wasn’t a day on this earth that Laverne
didn’t worry about others and their well being. When she prayed, it was for
others – never herself. She had the biggest, warmest heart that touched so many
lives. Laverne would be extremely honored to know the expressions of love for
her this day. Laverne was greatly loved and will be missed by her family,
friends, and all who knew and loved her. Funeral services were Tuesday, Feb. 3,
