Memorial services for Bob Scott  were held at the Plentywood Lutheran Church on Wednesday, September 10, 2008  with Pastor Dave  Curtright officiating.   Interment of cremated remains followed at the Outlook Highland Cemetery.  Fulkerson Funeral Home of
Plentywood had charge of arrangements.

Robert Arthur "Bob" Scott was born January 28, 1924 to Palmer and Beulah Scott in a sod and frame house at the family farm south of the US-Canadian border on Beaver Creek. After graduating from Outlook High School in 1942, Bob continued to working on the family farm with his father, Palmer and brother, George. On December 18, 1946, Bob married June Stewart and lived in California for a short period of time. Missing Montana snowfalls, Bob and June returned to Outlook, where Bob devoted his life to farming and ranching. Bob and June's son Robert J. (Bobby) was born on July 15, 1948, their daughter Sandra was born on November 22, 1951.


In his early years, Bob served as a member on the Outlook School Board, the Outlook Fire Board,  was a substitute mail carrier  and  was a 31 year charter member of the Plentywood Elks Lodge.  Although, Bob served as a director for the Culbertson State  Bank for a short period of time, perhaps his favorite responsibility was that of being director of the Montana State Bank for nearly 30  years. While Bob enjoyed getting out of town for short and long journeys, getting back to town for monthly bank meetings was always a priority for Bob. Bob was a true Montana farmer. He devoted many years of long days, planting and harvesting his crops and caring for his livestock. Bob was part of a generation of farmers who developed lasting friendships and a life long devotion to one another built from both celebrations and times of sorrow. He treasured these relationships and will be remembered by most for his strong opinions, stubborn demeanor, and willingness to help those in need. Once Bob retired from farming, he could frequently be found driving along the country side, playing cards with old and new friends, visiting with people at the bank, or having coffee at a local restaurant. For years, Bob traveled to Flathead Lake for his annual "cherry picking" trip. Upon his return, he would sell cherries to his friends and neighbors and surprised everyone when he continued with this yearly event despite his declining health. Light hearted banter between Bob and his friends was a daily occurrence. He would frequently boast about his Chevy trucks and  tease those who were tried and true Ford fans. Others would be puzzled by Bob's stories of leaving town to purchase a new vehicle  and already have the vehicle resold before arriving back in Plentywood. Great grandpa Bob would always have chocolate candy in his shirt pocket for his great grandkids. Huntley and Haidyn would hop onto Papa Bob's lap and quickly reach their tiny hands into his pocket for their chocolate treats. Bob would chuckle to himself when he knew that his candy gesture was ruining their meal time appetites. After many years of living life to the fullest and on his own terms, despite years of ongoing heart complications and numerous emergency heart surgeries, Bob suffered a fatal heart attack on September 3, 2008.

 

In addition to his parents and brother, George and two half brothers, Eldon Lee and Palmer M. Scott, Bob joins his wife, June, son Bobby, and granddaughter Debbie in heaven. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Sandra and Jule Jacobson of Plentywood MT, granddaughter and husband, Tracy and Chad Hinz of Monticello, MN, granddaughters, Cami Sain of Omaha, NE, and Allysa Jacobson of  Helena, MT, and great-grandchildren, Huntley and Haidyn Hinz of  Monticello, MN. Bob is also leaves behind his long time friend and companion, Esther Corneliusen of Billings, MT.

David George Mann was born February 6, 1930 in Plentywood to Archie and Agnes (Biltman) Mann.  Neighbors helped David's father to dig through the snow drifts at the family farm so Agnes could make it to the Plentywood Hospital with David arriving shortly thereafter.

David graduated from Plentywood High School in 1949 and attended college at Bozeman, until returning  home to take over the family farm in 1950. He married Betty Bykonen on October 20, 1956 in Plentywood.  To this union David & Betty brought into their family fold a little boy named Shannon and later a little girl named Candase.

Memorial services for LeRoy Lodahl were held on Monday, September 15, 2008. Pastor Ron Martin-Dent officiated at the service at Plentywood Lutheran Church. A private interment of cremated remains in Plentywood Cemetery followed the service. On Wednesday, September 10, 2008, LeRoy, 72, died unexpectedly at his home in Plentywood from a broken heart. The event occurred 34 days after losing his wife and soul mate Patricia Lodahl.

Anders LeRoy Lodahl was born on January 24, 1936 in Plentywood. He graduated from Medicine Lake High School. Lee married Patricia Mae Geelan at the Nathanael Church in Dagmar on November 24, 1956. They lived in Great Falls for a short time, after which they moved to California and then to Michigan while Lee was in military service. After his discharge, they returned home to Northeast Montana. They lived in the Dagmar community for about a year before moving to Plentywood, where they have lived since.

Lee was the owner and operator of Lee’s Westland Station. Lee was a member of Volunteer Fire Department of Plentywood for several years. He also enjoyed bowling and was a friend to all, putting others before himself.

It would be difficult to determine where Lee began and Pat would end as they journeyed through life as true partners. LeRoy is remembered by his grandchildren as their ever-loving ‘Papa Lee’ and as a very devoted father by his children. His dry sense of humor that only the sharpest of wit could grasp can be recalled when he rang the front doorbell of his own home with pants in hand
in need of alterations. His story was simple. Since his wife Pat was too busy as a seamstress-for-hire for the community of Plentywood, he presented himself as a customer. He had heard she was the best in town! She obliged him and made the necessary repairs, and of course . . . charged him!

LeRoy and Pat were devoted members of Plentywood Lutheran Church, where they served as “assistant custodians” to their daughter, Bonnie.

LeRoy is survived by his two daughters: Bonnie Kanning and her husband Spencer, of Plentywood and Terrie Iverson and her husband Roland, of Billings. He is also survived by five grandchildren: Dr. Nicholas Kanning, of Omaha, Nebraska; Zachary Kanning and his fiancé Stephanie Thompson, both students at MSU Bozeman; Danielle Iverson, a student at MSU-Billings, as well as Bryce and Brandon Iverson of Billings. He is also survived by his sisters Elice Nelson of Plentywood, Vera (Folmer) Nyby of Michigan City, Indiana, Pearl Kruger of Great Falls, Montana, and also by his brother Ove Lodahl of Murray, Idaho. Lee is also survived by numerous nephews and nieces who were very near and dear to his heart. Lee was preceded in death by his parents Niels and Signe Lodahl, an infant brother Franklin, and his loving wife of almost 52 years Patricia Mae.
