Notes:

When Letha was 24 she ran away from home ending up in Denver, Colorado. There she worked as a cashier at a diner in the local train depot. (This is where she met Don). During this time she lived in an all-girl boarding house that had a curfew. But the gang would always stay out too late and Letha would have to sneak in at three or four in the morning. Her circle of friends started to pair up and get married. This is when Don and Letha thought, why not? So they promptly tied the knot. They were married on March 14, 1930. When a rowdy group of friends came to charivari them on their wedding night Don and Letha scurried up into the attic to hide.

Letha was unable to have children of her own. Together they adopted and raised Twanakay Leonard (Russell) and Terry Lee Russell. Letha also raised three of her ten grandchildren, Dody Buchanan, Camby Russell and Kimberly Davis (me!). We called her Mom, and we were raised as her children using her last name Russell. She truly was our mom, in fact she was mom to everyone that met her and they were family to her. Mom had the ability to bring people together, she was the glue in our lives.

Letha was born on December 21, 1906 in Burr Oak, Kansas to Oren Bruce Francis (Bruce)and Lelah Edna(Warren) Francis. Her grandparents (pioneers) moved to Kansas by covered wagon when it was still Indian territory. They lived first in dug outs adding sod houses to them later on. Her family was of sturdy stock, they worked hard and saved their money. When the family could they built wood framed homes. Letha's grandfather O.W. Francis built the finest house in Jewell County Kansas. It must be true because he had postcards printed out that said so. She was born and raised on a farm just to the north of Burr Oak, Kansas. Letha could garden, can foods, sew, knit, tat lace, crochet, repair furniture, walls and even plumbing in a pinch. She loved to document our lives and picture taking was a more then a hobby to her. Mom raised us knowing that she didn't raise quitters, She raised people that could.

Mom loved adventure and would often on a whim turn off to see a two-headed snake or an assortment of rare rocks. Once she drove hours out of her way to see the London Bridge in Arizona. She thought it was going to be a 20 minute drive however, someone had mixed up the road signs so it was more like two to three hours away, but we made it there.
As a girl it was a thrill for me to walk in the house after school and be greeted by Bing Crosby singing along with the smell something wonderful that she was putting together for supper. Mom was a wonderful cook , I have never met anyone that could match her home cooked meals.
Our grandfather Donald passed away February 8,1961 leaving Mom on her own with three small girls. Money was tight for her but we never knew it. She had that knack of knowing which toy was the most important to get at Christmas and how to make ends meet. She often sat up all night sewing new clothes for us, she even made our prom dresses.
In her life Mom attended Wesleyan College, worked as a housekeeper, cashier and became a licensed beautician. At the beginning of WWII Don and Letha moved to La Jolla, California with her brothers Dallas, Doyle, Vaughn and Verlin The men worked in a plane factory while mom stayed home and took care of the family. Later Grandma Francis joined them so mom could work at the factory also. However, if you asked her which job she loved the most she would say the one as a mother.

In her life Letha lived in Burr Oak,Kansas; Fullerton and Sidney, Nebraska; Springfield,Illinois; Denver,Colorado; Oregon; Boise, Idaho; La Jolla, Los Angeles, Pomona and finally Lompoc,California. She and her husband even owned a tobacco plantation in Fayette,Missouri back in the 30's.
Her life was lived for her children, especially her three girls Dody, Camby and Kimberly. She gave all she had to us and I miss her terribly.

[[Letha was proceeded in death by both of her parents and her husband Donald. She was joined by her son Terry; her daughter Twanakay. Her grandson Tony Russell of Las Vegas, Nevada. Her brothers Dallas Francis and his wife Mary of Fullerton, Nebraska; Doyle Francis and his wife Agnes of Elba, Nebraska; Vaughn Francis and his wife Edna of Fullerton, Nebraska. She is survived by her brother Verlin Francis and his wife Elaine of Wayne Nebraska. Seven grandchildren: Dody Gonzales and her husband Jessie of Wes Allis,WI; Camby Caracoza of Garden Grove,California; Kimberly Jankowski and her husband Richard of Lincoln,Nebraska; Parrish Leonard and his wife Kami of Brennen,Texas; Charri Jung and her husband T.J.of Florida; Shane Leonard of Texas; Terry Russell of Las Vegas, Nevada. Two Step grandchildren Rick Leonard and Tammy Hill (Leonard).Great,grand children: Ian Quandt; Sean Quandt; Deidra Frey; Sarah (Caracoza)& David Brunet; Barbara Marie(Bobbi Caracoza)& Tony Leonard; Robin Caracoza; Dakota Caracoza; Brandon Davis; Lauree Jankowski; Ashley Leonard; Shelby Leonard; Ryan Smith; Karen Smith; Amber Leonard; Tara Gurley; Larry Gurley; Joshua Collins; Leah Leonard; Lacey Leonard and Laine Leonard plus a myriad of great,great grand children.]]

Notes:

Gladys Evonne Intermill, the daughter of Orvel and Lena (Warren) Switzer, was born on January 28, 1922 at the family farm near Lovewell, Kansas. She was called home to the Lord on June 13, 2008 in Ft. Collins at the age of 86 years, 4 months and 15 days.
After graduation from Lovewell High School, Evonne attended McPherson College where she received her teaching certificate. As was the custom for teachers of the day, she boarded with families in the school districts where she taught. She had accepted an assignment to Rubens School along White Rock Creek in Jewell county, Kansas and was boarding with Sadie and Elmer Intermill when their son, Myron, came home on leave from his service with the U.S. Army during World War II. That meeting marked the beginning of a courtship that led to their marriage on May 20, 1945.
Myron and Evonne farmed along the White Rock from 1945 to 1957, during which their three children, Patricia, Mary and Mark, were born. With construction of Lovewell Reservoir, the family moved to a farm in the Valley View community north of Webber, Kansas.
Evonne was an active member of the Valley View and Webber communities, serving in leadership positions for the Webber United Methodist Church, Jewell County Cooperative Extension Service and Webber Wide-Awake 4-H Club. She was also employed at Brodstone Memorial Hospital in Superior, Nebraska. Myron and Evonne retired from the farm in 1979 and spent the next 11 years traveling and enjoying the company of a network of friends in Harlingen, Texas, Mesa, Arizona, Estes Park, Colorado and Webber, Kansas.
In 1990, Myron suffered a debilitating stroke and Evonne became his caregiver and constant advocate until his death in 2002. During this time they moved from Mesa, Arizona to Lincoln, Nebraska, and finally to Concordia, Kansas. While in Concordia, Evonne managed the kitchen for the Concordia Head Start program, was active in the Concordia United Methodist Church and served in leadership positions for the Concordia chapters of AARP, Extension Homemakers Unit and TOPS.
In November, 2007, Evonne was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to be closer to her daughter, Pat and her family. She lived at Rigden Farm Senior Living where she enjoyed visiting with family and friends, particularly her great-granddaughter, Tessa.
Evonne was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brothers, Melvin, Wayne and Don Switzer, sisters, Viola Ross and Mina Coates, and an infant son, Dwight.
She is survived by her younger sister, Betty Everitt of Concordia, Kansas, three sisters, and one brother-in-law, Eleanor Switzer of Salina, Kansas, Molly Switzer and Byrl and Les Erickson all of Superior, Nebraska. She is also survived by her daughter and son-in-law Pat and Larry Kendall of Fort Collins, Colorado, daughter and son-in-law Mary and Wade Kuhlmann of Bel Air, Maryland, and son and daughter-in-law Mark and Nancy Intermill of Lincoln, Nebraska. She leaves a legacy of eleven grand children: Kristin, Scott and Tessalyn Beasley of Fort Collins, Colorado; Matt Kendall of Las Vegas, Nevada; Joe and Shelley Kuhlmann of Alexandria, Virgina; Jerod and Breanna Kuhlmann of Fallston, Maryland; Jessica Intermill and Tyler Candee of Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Micah Intermill of Alexandria, Virginia; along with many nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

Gladys married Myron Kenneth Intermill on 20 May 1945. Myron was born on 28 Dec 1914 in Mankato, Jewell County, Kansas, USA; died on 21 Feb 2002. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
