Thomas "Tom" A. Denney
FHS 59

Thomas "Tom" A. Denney, 68, died Oct. 19, 2010, in Pueblo, following an extended illness.
Tom was born Nov. 29, 1941, in Fowler, Colo. to David S. and E. Frances Denney. He grew up in Fowler and retired from Mountain Bell Telephone in 1990. A multi-talented man, Tom enjoyed flying and rebuilding airplanes and spent countless hours doing both. He was a longtime member of the Fowler Flying Club. Tom helped numerous others building and rebuilding their projects, as well as spending innumerable hours in his garage working on his own. His philosophy was, "if it was rusted, busted or didn't run, I'll work on it." In later years as he started experiencing some illness, he enjoyed rebuilding Cushman scooters with his sons.
During the last year of his life as he battled various effects of illness, Tom opened the door for God's grace and forgiveness. He finished life with joy, peace and a hope of eternal life.
Tom is survived by wife, Mary Lou of Pueblo; son, Brent (Jackie) Denney; mother, E. Frances Denney; brother, David W. Denney; daughter-in-law, Ruth Denney, all of Fowler; and stepdaughters, Carolyn (Michael) Brook, Connie (Tony) Hass and Chris (Anthony) Cortese.
Tom was preceded in death by his son, Darren L. Denney in 2009 and father, David S. Denney in 1971.

Graveside services will be conducted Friday, Nov. 20, at 2 p.m. at the Fowler Cemetery with Rev. Tom Dudley, pastor of Swink and Cheraw United Methodist Churches officiating. Visitation will be on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Griffy Family Funeral Home in Fowler.

Mr. Larsen was born on July 21, 1939, in Fowler to Nels and Elaine Larsen. He married his high school sweetheart, Joyce Baker, on June 6, 1959 in Fowler. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in June.

The Larsens settled in La Junta where they raised three children, including two sons, Scott (Wendy) Larsen of Swink and Sam (Roxanne) Larsen of Murphy, Texas, and one daughter, Shawn (James) Japhet of Las Animas. In addition to his children,  he is also survived by nine grandchildren: Kelsey, Cara and Rhett, Jenalle, Jade and Joshua, and Eddie, Cody and Jennifer. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Luella Baker, sister-in-law, Darlene Barr, brother-in-law, Jerry (Vicki) Baker and sister Beverly (Pat) Byrne, along with numerous nieces and nephews.

Mr. Larsen was preceded in death by his parents and father-in-law, Harold Baker, formerly of Fowler.

Mr. Larsen served in the U.S. Navy from 1958 to 1962, two of those years aboard the aircraft carrier USS Shangri-La. He worked with NIBCO for 25 years, then continued in his trade for 18 years, moving to the states of Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi, working for two other copper manufacturers. He retired from Mueller Industries in 2003, then returned to the Fowler area. In addition to his biggest passion of watching his grandchildren, he enjoyed model airplanes, woodworking, camping and fishing. He volunteered with the Otero County Sheriff's Posse and coached Little League in La Junta.

In spite of his many health issues, Mr. Larsen always had a positive outlook and maintained the greatest attitude.

The family prefers memorials be sent in his name to Arkansas Valley Hospice, and can be sent in care of the Griffy Family Funeral Home in Fowler, which is in charge of arrangements.   (submitted by Dale Adams)

A recent letter from Lloyd Adair, (who attended Fowler Schools with the class of 1957 until after 7th grade when he moved to Kansas), gave us a rundown of his interesting life.  

Lloyd when to 8th grade at Horace, KS and high school in Tribune, KS, graduating in May 1957. 

1957 May - Lloyd left Horace, KS for Fowler, CO, to stay with his uncle, Bud Sharp. He worked for a river jetty company before taking a job with Wonder Bread.  His uncle owned Bud's Drive-In, where some of the girls from the class of 1957 were working at the time he returned to Fowler.
1958 May - Lloyd moved to Oakley, KS and worked on a farm for the son of his mother's friend. He met his wife-to-be, Helen, at breakfast the first morning there.
1959 January - They were married.
1959 September - They moved to Pueblo, CO where Lloyd went back to work for Wonder Bread.  Reggie Phillips, (his father owned the Fowler Bakery until he sold it to Wonder Bread, moved to Pueblo and worked in the bakery),  was a salesman for Wonder Bread.  He asked Lloyd if he would unload sacks of flour at the bakery during a strike.  When the strike was over they asked five workers to stay and they did.  James McAndrews from Fowler worked for Wonder Bread until he passed away in 1960.    
1961 August - Lloyd was drafted into the army, so quickly enlisted for three years in Milwaukee, WI.   His wife Helen was pregnant, but everyone had to serve their military stint.   He took Basic Training at Ft. Carson, CO.
1962 March - Their daughter was born.
The army sent him to engineering school in Virginia, then he spent the rest of his three years in Milwaukee, WI.
1964 August - He was discharged a Specialist 5th. They moved to Denver where he went back to work for Wonder Bread, but they didn't want to raise their daughter in Denver.
1964 October - They moved to Oakley, KS where he was supposed to work for the City of Oakley. When that job fell through he worked in construction.

In May 1965 Lloyd went to work for the Kansas-Nebraska Natural Gas Co, and worked for them for 29.5 years, moving wherever the job took them.

1966 December - a son was born.
1967 March - moved to Dighton, KS, first manager job.
1969 July - moved to Shelton NE, second son born April 1971.
1971 September - moved to Arvada, CO.
1976 January - moved to Broken Bow, NE. Ran into Lee and Betty (Higby) Heflebower - their sons became good friends.
1981 September - moved to Rawlins, WY.
1983 October - moved to Holyoke, CO.
1991 October - moved to Sutton, NE.
1993 December - Lloyd retired from the natural gas company and they moved to Kearney, NE.

2000 March and May - Lloyd had stents put in and in
2004 February he had a triple heart by-pass.

2008 August - moved to Grand Island, NE where they presently reside. Lloyd and Helen have 7 grandkids (ages 5-24) and 2 great-grandkids (1 and 2 years old).

FOWLER - 2000 -

The Fowler Historical Museum featured the impressive iron collection of Chuck and Sandra Koehler, who now live in Westminster. Mrs. Koehler was born in Rocky Ford but raised in Fowler.

The Koehlers brought several different types of irons - electrical, early liquid fuel and "sad" irons. Sads are named for their density. They are one-piece irons, the ones everybody's grandmother had, Mrs. Koehler said. Sad irons can be large or small. She said a sad iron smaller than 4 inches typically was a child's iron.

The Koehlers have collected irons for about 25 years, including one from 1866, about the time President Abraham Lincoln was in office. They have hundreds of them.

Uses for some of her old irons included sleeves, pants, and one that curled the brims of Brown Derby hats. Her oldest irons date back to 1830, 1845, and 1873.

The Koehlers also have irons from other countries such as Canada and China. Most, though, are from the United States.

"That's by choice," Mrs. Koehler said. "We just prefer the U.S. ones."

The irons will be on display at the Fowler Museum until March. The museum is located at 114 N. Main.

On the road to Pueblo

A Christmas blessing fell off the truck

By MELVERTA FELLHAUER BAUER

Loveland


Melverta 1957

The year was 1948 and Christmas was drawing near. It was a difficult time for my family and had been so for two months. My mother had become ill in October and had to be hospitalized. She was pregnant with her fourth child and due to her illness my baby brother was born prematurely and survived only a few hours.

Because of complications and pneumonia, for some time her life had been in jeopardy. The weeks of hospitalization stretched into a month and Thanksgiving came and went and our mom was still in the hospital, although she was slowly improving.

Pueblo was 30 miles from Fowler and on Sundays, Dad would take my brother Dean, who was 6 years old and myself, who was 9, with him to visit Mom. My youngest brother Grant was just 1 year old and he would stay with our grandparents.

However, we never saw our mother. In those years, children were never allowed to visit patients, not even a parent. We always waited in the hospital lobby for Dad to come and tell us how Mom was doing.

One Sunday while on our way to visit Mom, our Dad explained to my brother and me that we would not have a Christmas tree. There simply was no money for one. We would be fortunate if we could just have our mother home with us on Christmas.

We were traveling west on U.S. 50 and had rounded the curve, just past where Lee's Cafe was, when we met a truck piled high with Christmas trees. My brother saw a tree fly off the truck, and we all saw it lying in the middle of the highway. The driver of the truck didn't slow down at all, apparently unaware of his loss.

My dad stopped and picked up the tree, placed it in the back of our pickup and we continued on to Pueblo so he could visit our Mom.

When we got home that evening, after chores, we decorated that little tree. We were so happy to have a tree! It was a gift.

On Christmas Eve, we got the best Christmas gift of our young lives: Our mother came home. We were truly blessed.

My parents, Harvey and Edith Fellhauer, passed from this earth in 1984 and 1982 respectively, and I am certain they remembered this Christmas always.

Missing Alice     Pete Earley (FHS 69)
(Fowler ..Christian Church Pastor's Family)

 

  Midway across Ohio, the man beside me on the DC10 asked where I was going. "Fowler, Colorado. A little town of about a thousand people near Pueblo." "Why would anyone go to Foouuller?" he asked, grinning as he exaggerated the name. "A death. My sister." "Sorry," he mumbled and turned away. I was relieved. I didn't have to explain....

Marvin announces retirement


FHS 50

Fowler Tribune
Fowler, Colo. -

Doyle Marvin, President of Fowler State Bank has announced his plans to retire as an officer of the bank after nearly 42 years of service to the institution.  Marvin, a Fowler native, began his career at the bank on June 7, 1967 as the Assistant Cashier.  He quickly advanced to the position of Vice-President and Cashier.  Following the death of Joseph M. Fox in 1992, he assumed the position as President which he has held until the present.

According to board chairman and CEO, Jonathan Fox, even though Marvin is retiring as an active officer, he will continue his service to the bank by remaining on the Board of Directors and will be making periodic field visits to clients as well as conducting livestock inspections.

"Doyle will be greatly missed by all of us at the bank on a daily basis, as well as by the customers alike.  We are very pleased that he is remaining on the Board of Directors so we will still get to visit with him often.  We thank him so much for these many years of dedicated service," comments Fox.

An open-house barbeque luncheon in honor of the Marvin's will be held Jan. 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the bank. This will be open to the public giving his many clients, friends and fellow staff members a chance to wish him well on his retirement plans. A grandfather clock will be presented to him at his house as a gift of thanks for many years of fine service to Fowler State Bank. Marvin and his wife of 52 years, Evelyn, hope to take the opportunity to travel.

Marvin says of his time at the bank, "It's been a complete family operation including my immediate family and the bank family." He laughingly adds, "My wife and two sons probably had to endure my frustrations at times when I brought my work home with me." Marvin added,"I thank my many customers and friends for a very enjoyable association over these past many years."

The annual meeting of the bank was held recently with the same slate of board members being re-elected for 2009. They are as follows: Jonathan R. Fox, Chairman; Lynette Belkin, Vice-Chairman, Doyle Marvin and Scott D. Jensen. The officers of the bank for the ensuing year will be: Jonathan R. Fox, President & CEO; Scott D. Jensen, Executive Vice-President and Mary M. Harris, Vice-President & Cashier.  Employees are: Loretta Sharon, Administrative Assistant;  Carol Reeves, Head Teller; Nancy Jensen, Head Bookkeeper; Tellers, Betty Smith, Suzanne Worden;  Bookkeeper, Lequita Baylor; Part-time staff, Cathy Olsen, Miriam Barton, Keith Lance, Jeanne Bates, Jenna Ballard and Wilma Gager with Olivama and Jess Lopez, Custodians. 

Fowler State Bank is beginning its 110th year of business. Marvin indicated he has seen a vast number of changes to banking over his nearly 42 years in the industry, particularly in technological advancements. He noted how proud he is of the fact that at Fowler State Bank, it has always been a goal to have everyone be a name and not a number. "Personal service and attention has been Fowler State Bank's pride and will continue to be," he states.
