This time tomorrow evening.. hopefully Dad will be a happy camper!!
Jake and I are planning on picking Dad up in the am and heading out for a trip in the country after picking up feed for the cattle and end up at his farm, where hopefully, we can spend a good deal of time with him setting in his front room looking out at his cattle and dog, and the farm.. after touring it, and then eating lunch. Think Ann is fixing Chicken and Noodles, or something that we know is ok for him to eat. One thing for sure, everyone that has been by to see him reports he has talked about this all week. So hope he is not disappointed! Report in a few hours... wish us luck and keep him in your prayers... please.

On her way to work at FPP this morning at 7:15am, Heather was out on the north side of Stillwater, on Perkins Road by Atwoods, she met a car, heard a thump.. and felt it too... and looked in her mirror as she passed the car thinking it had bumped her, only to see a smallish deer wobbling in the road behind her on the four lane. Andrew was showing us the deer "poop" on the side of his mom's car and the damage this evening. Yelp... H... this one's for ya!

Obit for Cousin Leon Liebscher, El Reno, OK.
Leon Liebscher
Defying medical odds, Leon Liebscher drew close to seeing 48 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Neta Jo. He not only fought his battle with poor health, but also watched and supported his wife as she battled cancer. He wasn’t supposed to persevere as he did, but his miracle was strong will and the love he had for his wife. He was determined to see her through the last chemo treatment. It was then he let go of life here on Earth to have eternal life with our Lord and Savior in heaven.
Leon went home peacefully on July 20, 2004. He was born on Feb. 6, 1933, at home on his family farm house three miles north and 1 ¾ miles east of El Reno to his parents, Ernest Joseph and Mariel (Moffat) Liebscher.

He was county commissioner for District 1 from October 1974 through January 1979. He was a lifelong member of Mt. Zion Church and loved to witness about his Savior. He was a talented designer and welder who could fix anything if it needed welding. He loved to eat and celebrate with family and friends who blessed his life.
Funeral services for Leon were held at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 24, 2004, at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church with Rev. Richard Hamilton, pastor, officiating. Burial with military honors were in the Sunnyside Cemetery. Services were under direction of Wilson Funeral Home.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Eugene Liebscher.
Those who will miss him most and remember him often are his wife, Neta Jo; son, Lester and wife, Monica Liebscher; daughter, LaNeta and husband, Steve Guth; son, Loren and wife, Kim Liebscher; beloved friend, Charles Grant; the light of his baby blue eyes, his seven grandchildren, Kelsey, Lindsey, Logan, Lydia, Sarah, Mallory and Blaze; sister, Laura Keller of El Reno; and many more relatives and special dear friends.
The family suggests memorials be made to Mobile Meals, P.O. Box 879, El Reno, Okla., or Mt. Zion Church, 2904 E. Oklahoma City 150th, El Reno, Okla. 73036.

This is the obit for John Plamer, Father of Aunt Agnes Palmer Siegrist, wife of Uncle Calvin Siegrist of El Reno, OK.
From the book "Family Histories of Canadian County Oklahoma", (CCHBA, 1987)
John William Palmer was born Nov. 1, 1901 to Elvira Estella Mayfield and Winfield Scott Palmer in a dugout on his parents' farm located 9 miles north and 4 ½ miles east of El Reno, the 8th child of 10 children. His father died when John was 16. The 10 Palmer children were students at Liberty School.
John married Ruby Heckes, daughter of Fred and Mary Todd Heckes, Jan. 3, 1926. They farmed the "home place" (Winfield Palmer's) until John's mother died. John bought two 80's one mile east of the Palmer farm. They moved to a farm located in the same quarter section as the Racine School. In the early years of their marriage, his brother, Herbert, a student at Edmond, lived with them one year. Later, he served 2 terms as State Representative.
John was Chairman of the Board of the Okarche Coop for 20 years. He and his family were members of the Mt. Zion Church. John liked people and enjoyed visiting with them. He was full of fun and enjoyed a good laugh. When his daughters were small, he often brought home candy for them. The girls woke up in the morning discussing whose turn it would be to dividie the candy or go for the mail. Their rural mail carrier was Mr. Nickerson. If he was ill, his wife delivered the mail. In the summer's heat, the girls walked barefoot to the road to wait for the mail carrier. John continued to bring gifts to his daughters, even as they became older. Once at a cattle auction, someone was selling fringed table clothes and he bough one for each daughter.
John always looked forward to riding his horse in the 89er parade. He had a favorite red satin western shirt and hat for these occasions. He still owned a lap robe purchased for his buggy from a mail order catalog when he was a young, single man. It was of a heavy, horsehair-like material. The black, rubber lining made it waterproof. The color of the outside material was gold with a bird dog in the center. The dog's eye was a clear glass with a black pupil.
John and Ruby Palmer's 3 daughters are: Agnes (Siegrist), Anna Belle (Wiedemann), and Norma Jean (Schroeder).
John and Ruby moved from their farm to El Reno in November 1955 and built a home at 1500 W. Walnut St. They joined the Wesley United Methodist Church.
John William Palmer, a life-long resident of Canadian County, died in El Reno July 27, 1973, and is buried in El Reno Cemetery.
Ed's Note: I can still remember living across the road from Johnny S.E. of Okarche, and how fun it was to go there and how big and wonderful I always thought he was! We... Oscar, Elinore, and I lived on the east side of the road, they lived on the west. And getting the mail was a big deal in those days!!

Austyn found a small worm... and poof... it became a Butterfly....
Austyn found a small worm on some of his dad's dill in their garden, and took it inside and put it in his "special" butterfly raising container and sure enough, after feeding it lots of dill, mom says they about ran out of dill..., the worm spun a caccon and then .... after a few weeks, it became a beautiful butterfly. I do not remember the species name, but will try to find out and let you know. Tammy took the pictures yesterday morning as they released the butterfly to the wild.
