Beth was born July 21, 1927 at the family home in Waldo, Ks. She was an identical twin to Billie and they were the daughters of Jacob and Clemmar (Knapp) Luder. She grew up in Waldo, Ks and graduated from the Waldo High School in 1945. She went on to earn her teaching certificate at Fort Hays University. During this time she worked as a secretary at Walker Air Force Base near Hays. She met Elbert “Spud” Whitman when he was home on leave from the Navy. They fell in love and were married later that year on Dec. 21, 1946 in her home in Waldo, Ks.</b></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7a7a7a; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><b>Beth was a working woman before that became a popular term. After marriage, she began working as a teacher at Fairport Elementary and later as a secretary/bookkeeper at Rogers and Hoisington Wholesale in Paradise. Lastly, she was postmaster at Paradise for 26 years, retiring in 1992. She took great pride in running an efficient, clean post office.

Webster’s Dictionary, World Book Encyclopedias and Maltin’s Movie Guide sat beside her recliner and were frequently consulted. Individual’s names and special dates were important to her. Not only could she remind you of the date, day of the week and time a grandchild had been born but she would include the weather for that date. She loved words, often teasing family about how many syllables they had just spoke. All this led her to be a wonderful conversationalist. She asked questions, listened and remembered to follow-up on a personal level. Many people have commented about the great times they had visiting her and Spud sitting at their kitchen table with a cup of coffee. After retiring, Beth enjoyed long walks, watching old movies, working crosswords, and playing games on the computer. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family, taking a special interest in their work, activities and friends.</b></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7a7a7a; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><b>Beth is survived by her children: Denny Whitman and wife Sheila of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, Sandy Mead and husband Allen of Manhattan, Kansas, Pat Lund and husband Rick of Lincoln, Kansas and Fred Whitman and wife Kristi of Paradise Kansas.

Jay Anderson, age 87, died on June 1, 2022 in Oberlin, Kansas. He was born in
Norton, Kansas on February 4, 1935 to Arnold and Mary (Doubrava) Anderson. He
graduated high school in Paradise, Kansas with the class of 1953 and went on to
Kansas State University for his bachelor’s degree. While there, he departed two
years to serve in the Korean War. He then went on to K-State Veterinary School
and graduated in 1962. After that he and his first wife and three children moved
to Oberlin where Dr. Anderson began his veterinary career. A fourth child was
born in Oberlin. After practicing many years, he retired and married his second
wife, Ann Leake. They raised greyhounds for a few years and traveled the country
in a fifth wheel. They moved back to Oberlin to settle down. Dr. Anderson
participated in many community events and was active on many local boards,
including Fair Board, City Council, Library and Rotary to name just a few. He
was proud of coming from a public-minded family that worked for the interests of
northwest Kansas, including a father who was a legislator and a grandfather who
was an early Decatur settler. He was always strategizing and making notes on
ways to further the development of Decatur County. It was rare to not see him
with a yellow note pad in his retirement days, making notes about many things.
He also loved talking to people and telling many stories of the successes of
past Kansans in bettering the community and of his own experiences as a country
veterinarian and traveler. Dr. Anderson also loved reading and collected a
personal library focused on military and plains history. He frequently gifted
his grandsons books and educational magazines and also took them on a trip to
visit Little Bighorn Battlefield. Dr. Anderson is survived by his wife, Ann
Anderson and three children, Jill (Anderson) Reichert and husband, Wilbur,
Dresden; Amy Anderson and partner, Mark Webster, Oklahoma City and Jane
Anderson. His brother, Jon Anderson and wife Dorothy, San Francisco, CA. Also,
three grandsons, Grant Reichert, Wenatchee, WA; Gannon Reichert and wife Mary,
Oberlin and Gage Reichert and wife, Cole, Hill City and four great grandsons,
Conner, Creo, Dean and Owen. He was preceded in death by his parents and one
grandson, Gatlin Reichert. Memorials are designated to the GROW Foundation. Jay
would have also encouraged everyone to give their time and energy to the Decatur
County Fair where he was one of the original volunteers involved in getting the
Ferris wheel for the home-grown carnival and felt it was a very important part
of keeping Decatur County strong.
