Mildred `Millie' Liichow
Mildred "Millie" Hay -
craft Michow, 82, formerly of
McCall, passed away August
27, 2010.
She was born Apri120,1928,
and raised in Owensboro, Ky.
She met and married then 2nd
Lt. Robert Liichow near Bran-
denburg, Ky., at her parents'
inn, Doe Run, in July 1950.
They spent their first 2 -1/2
years of marriage in Germany
where Bob was stationed. Re-
turning to the U.S., she lived
the life of an Army wife which
meant moving about 18 times
in 20 years.
Millie was always involved
in her community wherever
life took her and her family.
She was interested in every-
thing: reading, music, sewing,
tailoring, painting, weaving,
knitting, needlepoint, cook-
ing, politics and people, to
name a few.
If told she "couldn't" do
something simply because
no woman had ever tried it
before and succeeded, Millie
viewed that as a challenge and
would strive to prove the state-
ment wrong. She had a deep
and sincere love for the Lord
and her solid Christian faith
sustained her through many
difficult times in life.
She always looked on the
positive side of things. Millie
never looked for recognition
although she received several
awards in life, including the
Pushkin Award given by the
Defense Language Institute
in Monterey, Calif., for her
outstanding achievement in
Russian language prior to
being stationed with Bob at
the embassy in Moscow; the
Miles Christi medallion from
the Concordia Lutheran Semi-
nary in Ft. Wayne, Ind., for
her work and support at the
seminary. She took the most
pleasure in the recognition
from Concordia.
She battled lymphocytic
leukemia and ITP for nine
months. God graced her with
quality time to enjoy her fam-
ily and friends. It can be said
that she was able to truly live
her life. She will be missed by
all who knew and loved her.
Millie was predeceased
by her husband, Bob, in 1997.
She is survived by her daugh-
ter, Ellen Rindell and family,
Don, Kelley and Krista, of
Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.; her
son, Robert Liichow and fam-
ily, Tracy and Dominique, of
Detroit, Mich.;, and brothers,
William R. Haycraft of Peoria,
Ill., and Dudley Haycraft of
Mandeville, La..
Donations may be made in
Millie's name to missions at

Everyone who knew Larry
would say he had a great sense
of humor and a positive attitude.
His greatest pleasures in life were
his family, friends and pets, and
living in paradise on earth (Cas-
cade). He knew and loved the
Lord. Today would not be a good
day for Larry. Every morning he
and Betty would read the obituar-
ies over their morning coffee to
see what kind of day they were
going to have. Finding his name
today would mean "a bad day."
People who knew him throughout
his illness would smile when they
asked him how he was doing and
his response would be that he
was "still above ground."

west School of Agriculture in
Crookston, Minn. in 1955. Follow-
ing graduation he enlisted in the
Army and was honorably dis-
charged in 1958. Larry worked for

Lines), retiring Nov. 30, 1994 with
35 years of combined service.
Larry married Betty Lou Burns
on April 6, 1968 in Bloomington,
Minn. They resided in the Minne-
apolis area until transferring to
Boise. In 1999 they relocated to
Cascade. Confident that he would
"beat his disease" they purchased
Buzz City Espresso & Gifts in
Cascade in May of 2003. He was
an active part of the business
until his illness forced him to let
"the girls" handle things.
Because He chose our very
best.

"God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
So he put His arms around you
and whispered, `come with me.'
With tearful eyes,
we watched you
suffer and fade away,
although we couldn't
bear to lose you,
we couldn't ask you to stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard - working hands laid to a rest.
God broke our hearts
to prove to us
He only takes the best.
In tears we watched you sinking,
we watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken
as you fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
so peaceful from the pain,
we would not wish you back
to suffer that again.
If love could have saved you,
you never would have gone,
but in our aching hearts
we know you've found sweet rest
in your eternal home.
So please God
put you arms around her,
and keep her in your loving care.
Make up for all
that she has suffered
and make her happy there."

`µ H Throughout his life, he was known to all as a kind, gentle soul who loved good music, good food (especially pizza), good
coffee, and good company. But above all else, Vern loved his animal friends and he loved his family.
In parting, he leaves behind his son, Collin Loveall; daughter, Krosbie Loveall; loving wife of 26 years, Kathy Critton- Loveall;
sister, Deborah Loveall - Melton; and a multitude of friends and family all forever changed by knowing him. In them, Vern lives
today and forever.
Vem's influence on the music scene in McCall cannot be understated, and many musicians attribute their initial success in no small part
to him.
Vern was instrumental in bringing live music to McCall, and the venue he created at Crusty's Pizza helped launch the career of many
young artists and added greatly to the local culture. In this, also, his legacy shall endure.
Vern is preceded in death by his parents, Margaret and Vernon Loveall of Wichita Falls, Texas; his stepmother, Jane Loveall of
Oklahoma City, Okla.; his maternal grandparents, Catherine and Raymond "Toby" Hurst of Wichita Falls, Texas; and his fraternal
grandparents, Thelma and Eldon Loveall of Bowie, Texas.
A fund to help support the Loveall family has been set up at https: /tfundly.com /vem- loveall- family -fund.

Donald Ray Luce
Don Luce died peacefully at home in Carmel Valley, Calif., on Oct. 11, 2016, after a period of declining
health. He wasn't a tall man but everyone looked up to him. Kind and gentlemanly, he was a true friend
and loved his family above all else.
Don was bom Oct. 17, 1932, in Idaho to Laurence and Blanche Luce. His maternal
grandparents owned and operated the Hotel McCall and in time, his parents ran the hotel well
a into their 70s.
i
Don spent his childhood growing up in the Hotel McCall, where his parents were well known
residents in the community. He attended grammar school in McCall then graduated in 1950
from Donnelly - McCall High School before the high school moved to McCall.
Don went on to LIC Berkeley, where he majored in English, minored in drama, and earned his teaching
credential. After graduation, he joined the Army, where his assignment to Japan included directing plays.
He moved to Solvang, Calif., to teach English at Santa Inez High School. In Solvang, he met his best
friend and the love of his life, Jennie Wolter, an elementary school teacher. After they married in Carmel
on Aug. 8, 1962, they moved to Pacifica and Don earned his master's degree at San Francisco State.
After teaching in Chester, Calif., Don and Jennie took a year off and traveled in Europe.

Ponderosa State Park with Jennie and friends, and snowshoeing in his latter years.
Don's roots drew him back to McCall several times a year. Their teaching professions allowed for
multi- season visits. Don and Jennie loved the 4th of July in McCall and watching fireworks over the lake

Then it was weeks of picking huckleberries in Ponderosa and hiking the hills around Payette Lake.

01as A. Lunt
Olas A. Lunt, 83 years young and
beloved husband, father, grandfather
and brother, ans-
wered yet ano-
ther call from our
Father in Heaven
and passed away
on the 12th of
June, 1997,
ending a stout-
hearted two -year
battle with leu-
kemia. Thank
J, Heavenly
Father, for shar-
ing him with us.
Olas was born on Nov. 30, 1913, in
El Paso Texas, the second of six sons
born to Brough-
ton and Mary
AmandaLunt.His
family moved to a
ranch in Duncan,
Ariz. while he was
a small child.
Always eager to
learn, Olas com-
pleted his early
education at local
schools. He at-
tended the Uni-
versity of Arizona, and went on to
graduate from Brigham Young
University. It was there that he met
Charlotte Nelson of Taylor, Ariz., and
they were married in January of 1939.
He completed his master's degree at
Northern Arizona University. In 1953,
he was accepted as a doctoral
candidate at Stanford University,
where he studied for two years.
An incomparable human being,
Olas dedicated his life to the
development and encouragement of
young lives. He began his teaching
career in Virden, New Mexico, a small
farming community located on the
upper Gila River. While there, he
founded and directed the first high
school band.
His firs', teaching position was in the
ranching and lumber town of Payson,
Ariz. Two years later, he and his family
moved to Parker, Ariz., where he was
hired as principal and assistant
football coach of the local high school.
By 1944, he was working as
superintendent of schools in Joseph
City, Ariz., and three years later moved
to Eager, Ariz., where he served as
principal and superintendent of
schools. In 1952, the Madison School
District in Phoenix hired him as an 8th
grade teacher with the understanding
that he would assume the res-
ponsibilities of principal at Richard
Simis Elementary, which was under
construction. He spent the rest of his
teaching career at Simis, retiring in
1979. Along with the almost tangible
trail of genuine caring and can -do
optimism he left behind, Olas is also
remembered for not missing a day of
work in thirteen years.
Olas presided for 25 years A
chairman of the Arizona State
Campfire Girls Association. He spent
a number of years as president of the
local Little League chapter, as well as
the sponsor of a Boy Scouts of
America troop. In 1975, he was
presented with the Luther Gulick
Humanitarian Service Award for
community service, and the Arizona
State Education Association's
I Golden Apple Award for outstanding
service to the youth of Arizona.
Olas served for 17 years as an
advisor to the Arizona State Land
Board. In this capacity, he was the
spokesman for the Arizona State
School Trust Lands, and an advisor to
!Governors Bruce Babbitt, Raul Castro
I and Jack Williams. On two separate
occasions, he represented legal
arguments for the Land Board that
were successfully argued before the
United States Supreme Court. The
firstdealtwith mineral rights soughtby
the Arizona Highway Commission,
and the second challenged ground!,
water rights claimed by the Tucson
Water Users Association.
From 1933 -35, Olas filled a mission
to the North - Central States and
Canada forthe Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter -Day Saints. Throughout his
life, he served in many capacities for
his church, first as a Seventy, then as
a High Priest, and perhaps most
proudly, as music directorfor45 years.
During the early years of W.W.II, he
was asked by the local Episcopalian
congregation in Payson, Arizona, to
lead its Sunday school and conduct its
choir, since no minister was available.
With approval from his LDS bishop, he
readily agreed. Reflecting upon the
experience, he would smile, and with
a twinkle in his eye, remark, "I didn't
take advantage of the situation
because the head deacon of the
church was the president of my school
board!" And, though Olas delighted in
poking fun at what he termed his
"questionable" vocal abilities, his
genuine and evident enthusiasm for
music was as vital to his life a
breathing.
In 1981, Olas, Charlotte, and John
Douglas moved to Council, Idaho.
Shortly after the move, Charlotte
passed away. In 1982, Olas met and
married Barbara Nelson Caudill, a
native of Ririe, Idaho. For the last 15
years, she and Olas have made'a
home in Council which was frequently
invaded by their large family.
During his so called `retirement"
years in Council, Olas worked for the
US Forest Service throughout the
mountains of west - central Idaho,
building on -site "guzzlers" for wild bird
populations. A second priority was his
d4ho etote-,yvt 11,
garden, which they joyfully shared
with neighbors and friends.
Olas spent much of his spare time
camping and fishing with his
grandchildren, or in the forest
chopping firewood and hunting with
his grandsons and best friend and
neighbor, the late ClintonYates.
A bona fide "kid magnet," he was a
master storyteller. The adults would
chuckle as he'd begin "that old story"
again, but each time he made the
actions and the details unique, and he
was pure magic.
Olas is survived by his wife,
Barbara; four children and their
spouses, Lynne Mary Schnupp-
Duffner and Tim Duffner, Susanne
and Carwin Peterson, Olas A. II and
Sharon Lunt, and John Douglas Lunt;
three stepchildren and their spouses,
Ron and Beth Caudill, Mark and
Monica Caudill, and Tangi Caudill;
eighteen grandchildren; and eighteen
great - grandchildren.
Services will be held Monday, June
16, 1997, at 2 p.m., in Council, Idaho,
at the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-
ter -Day Saints. Burial will be in the Vir-
den, New Mexico cemetery. Arrange-
ments are under the direction of
Thomason Funeral Home of Weiser,
Idaho.
Our Olas is not gone; he is heard in
our hearts and seen in the smiles of
ourchildren.
The family suggests memorials be
made to the Olas Lunt Memorial Fund,
Council High School Band, in care of
the U.S. Bank, Council, Idaho 83610.

McCall Pioneer
Had yearning for
"Wild and Woody"
By BETTY MOHNE
Mrs. Edward Luzadder, 92, was
born in 1867, in Greensburg, Pen -
syivania. Hemaiden name is Helen
Wilson. She came from a large
family of six girls and one boy.,
Sne is a graduate of Teachers
College located in Indiana, Penn-
syivania, which she attended for a
period of four years by teaching
the spring terms and taking the
summer courses.
Her one desire was to leave her
native state and go see and live in
the "wild and woolly!" This dream
became a reality when one day a
fellow woman teacher asked her
why she didn't answer the adver-
tisement in the paper, as Idaho was
suffering a shortage of teachers.
"I accepted a teaching position
in Nampa and came by Pullman."
"Mrs. Luzadder," I asked, "could
you tell me what you remember
most about the trains in the early
.y00's ?"
"It's a long time ago, but what
stands out the most in my mind
is the elegance of that day, lots
of wnite linen and real silver on
the table. As 1 told you, I rode
i ullrnan and in that day they
were all berths, with only each
end of the car being a state room.
it took three days just to come
;rom Chicago to Boise."
"I believe you mentioned that
you came to McCall in 1912. You
ddn't stay long in Nampa."
"Humph! I might as well stayed
n Greensburg as to live in Nampa.
came to Idaho to get away from
too settled and too civilized way
)f living. I was glad when a posi-
ion opened up in McCall —and it
night interest you to know how I
of here," she added. "I had to go
o Weiser from Nampa, up to New
leadows, this way by train, and
hen from New Meadows rode the
sage up to McCall. McCall in those
ays was a village of board walks
id hitching posts."
"You mentioned, Mrs. Luzad-
�r," I queried, "that you were
.sappointed in Nampa. How did
,u feel when you saw McCall for
e first time ?"
"I liked it then and I like it now.
e watched it grow as families
Ive moved in and homes have
en built. Over the years I've
tnessed the changing from old
:ys to new, and the progress and
)dernizing of McCall. I believe
tt by the end of 1960 we will
le a population of 2,000."
)n her arrival in McCall she
ted a room from the McCalls,
)ve what was then the Forest
ce and is now Goodman Electric,
