          Harold Eugene Baker, formerly of Trenton , Nebraska , died Tuesday, July 15, 2008 at the Brighton Care Center in Brighton , Colorado , at the age of 87 years.
          He was born January 31, 1923 on his family’s farm in Hitchcock County , Nebraska north of Trenton , the son of Charles W. and Irma (Evans) Baker.  Harold attended country school near his home before attending and graduating from Stratton High School .
          After high school, Harold worked on the farm for several years.  He was united in marriage to a neighbor girl, Margaret L. Taul, on June 11, 1944 at McCook , Nebraska .  This union was blessed with four sons.
          Harold was drafted into the newly formed U.S. Air Force later that year, and proudly served his country during World War II from 1944 to 1946.  His new bride, Margaret, moved and lived with him on several assignments during the war.
          After receiving his honorable discharge, Harold moved with his wife to the homestead his grandfather (George Baker) had built, southwest of Palisade, Nebraska .  The original sod house was remodeled and became their home for many years.  Harold attended agriculture classes for several years as part of the G.I. Bill, and his love of the soil, pure air and clean water was deepened even more.
          Harold was a steward of the land.  He knew how to protect God’s earth, how to care for it, and it in return, took care of him.  In addition to farming, and raising Charolais cattle, Harold built terraces for many years, keeping the valuable topsoil in-place, and protecting the natural resources.
          Harold also served his community in many ways, and was a member of the Methodist Church , as well as a longtime member of the ASCS and NRD Boards.  He was a 4-H Leader for many years, served on the Hester Home Board, the Methodist Church Boards in both Stratton and Trenton , and was a lifelong member of the American Legion.  In his spare time, Harold enjoyed hunting and woodworking, but it was his love of the land that brought him a sense of strength and pride, it was the land that became his place of renewal.
          Harold also had a special place in his heart for children.  In addition to raising his own sons, he and Margaret took in two nieces and a nephew and raised them to adulthood.  They were always supportive of their children in their education, sporting events, and extra curricular activities.  Very seldom did they ever miss a church event, a ballgame, award ceremony, a concert, or a play.  Family had its priority, and the love and support for his was never questioned.
          Harold retired in 2000 after a lifelong career of farming.  He and Margaret moved to Brighton , Colorado in 2003 where they lived near their son, Joe and his family.  After Margaret’s passing in 2005, Harold remained in Brighton .
          Preceding him in death are his parents, Charles and Irma Baker; his loving wife of more than 60 years, Margaret L. Baker; an infant son, James Dale Baker; and two sisters, Alice Baker and Alta Marvin.
          Survivors include his sons, Gene Baker and wife, Barbara of McCook, NE, Joe Baker and wife, Sharlene of Brighton, CO, Rodney Baker and partner James Krueger of Chicago, IL; eight grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren; and numerous other family members; extended family; and many friends and neighbors.
          Mr. Baker will lie in state at Community United Methodist Church in Stratton on Friday, July 18, 2008 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Funeral services will be Saturday, July 19, 2008 at the church with Rev.

          Hal Dudley Tecker of Parks, Nebraska passed away Sunday, August 24, 2008 at Wray Community District Hospital . He was 72.
          Before Hal was born, the devastating Republican River flood of 1935 washed everything away including the roads leading to doctors. So Hal’s mother, Inez Tecker, had no alternative but to travel by train to her family in Lincoln , Nebraska where Hal was born in a hospital on August 13, 1936.  A month or so later, his father, Ned Tecker, was able to travel to Lincoln to meet his new son and take his family safely home.
          Like his father, Hal lived his entire life on Tecker Ranch near Parks, Nebraska . Until he was eighteen, every summer was spent at Forest Inn near Estes Park , Colorado where he helped with the family business guiding hiking and fishing expeditions. In high school, he excelled in sports. His senior year, he contracted polio which put an end to his dreams of playing college football. He furthered his education at Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln , Nebraska . Then in 1958, he enlisted in the Army National Guard.
          On June 29, 1958 Hal was united in marriage to Doris Jenkins of Haigler , Nebraska , a treasured union that exceeded 50 years. They were blessed with three children, Audrey, Jon, and Carol.
          His good-hearted nature and his foresight in the importance of community progression led to his involvement in such organizations as the Dundy County School Board for 24 years and the Nebraska State School Board for 6 years.
          He served on the Hester Foundation Board and he recently retired from the Southwest Public Power District board of directors after 16 years of service.
          Throughout his lifetime, several awards were bestowed upon Hal and his family. Being selected as the grand marshals of the 2004 Dundy County Fair was a very special honor for Hal and Doris. Some of the more recent distinctions include being chosen the 2008 Master Conservationist for Production Agriculture sponsored by the Omaha World Herald and UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Tecker Ranch is also the recipient of the 2008 Nebraska Outstanding Grassland Conservation award.
          Some of his favorite days on earth were spent showing his children the best places to fish along the Big Thompson River in Colorado . He also had many fond memories of his wild adventures with his fishing buddies on the Green River in Utah . The last few years he had many cherished trips with Doris to their cabin at Rams Horn Village in Estes Park , Colorado .
          He loved the family ranch where over the years he devoted much of his time raising sheep, hogs, and cattle. Hal was an inspiration to his family and all who knew him. His generosity and virtues profoundly touched the hearts and lives of the many whose paths he crossed.
          Preceding him in death were his parents, Ned and Inez Tecker.
          Left to mourn him are his wife, Doris Tecker of Parks, NE; a daughter, Audrey and her husband Fritz Brueggeman of Wray , CO ; a son, Jon, and his wife Christina of Parks, NE; a daughter, Carol, and her husband George Peterson of Haigler , NE ; seven grandchildren, Leigh and Alanna Brueggeman, Chelsea, Sye, and Paige Tecker, and Meg and Mark Peterson, and many friends and relatives.
          A memorial service will be held at the Benkelman United Methodist Church at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The service will be officiated by Carole Coates, CLM, and Pastor Brian Fong.  Services will conclude at the church.  A private inurnment will take place at a later time.
