Rick Cornwell of St. John passed away on May 17, 2021, surrounded by his children.

Born on June 15, 1949 to Jack and June Cornwell, Rick grew up on his family farm in St. John, Kansas.&nbsp;

After graduating from St. John High School, he attended Kansas State University where he was a member of the Farmhouse Fraternity. Rick pursued his passion for cattle and was active on Kansas State University’s meat and livestock judging teams. He regularly placed at national shows and won high individual at the American Royal in meats judging. Rick also served in the Kansas Air National Guard as a military policeman. He graduated with a degree in animal science before returning home to Cornwell Farms.&nbsp;

In 1982, Rick married his love, Gayle. They made a home in the country where they raised three children, Jeff, Casey, and Bethany. Their happiest times were spent driving the pastures together. Rick loved bragging about his children to anyone who would listen, and to those who wouldn’t.&nbsp;

Rick had a natural talent for raising cattle. He judged many stock shows over the course of his life and served on the Kansas Angus Association Board. He loved every aspect of raising cattle with his brother Joe and nephew Ty and contributing seedstock to the cattle industry. He was extremely passionate but humble about his work.

Rick’s love for his cattle was second only to the love for his family. Rick lived his life according to the Code of the West, a collection of principles displayed by the American Cowboy including tenets such as taking pride in your work, always finishing what you start, and doing what has to be done.&nbsp;

Rick is survived by his children Jeff (Sarah) Cornwell, Casey (Charley) Forsyth, and Bethany (Scott) Krehbiel, eight grandchildren, his brother Joe Cornwell and family, and sister Martha Riddell and family.

Daniel Paul Glaze

James William Kaba passed away on Sunday, May 16, 2021, at the Rooks 
County Health Center in Plainville, KS at the age of 85. He was born to 
James and Marie (Boller) Kaba on April 14, 1936, in Plainville.
 James was a lifetime resident of Plainville. He attended Plainville 
Grade School and graduated from Plainville High School. He entered the 
United States Army following his graduation and returned home when he 
was honorably discharged. James was united in marriage to Janice 
(Jacobs) Kaba on October 1, 1960, in Antonino, KS. The couple was blessed
 with three children: Vicki, Kim and John. 
 James worked in the oil field as a pumper until his early retirement
 at the age of 55. He picked up a part-time job at his favorite morning 
coffee place, Crawford Supply, and worked there for about 10 years. He 
was a simple man that enjoyed his routine. James was conservative and 
frugal when it came to himself, but generous to others. Every now and 
then he would play a nickel or penny slot at a casino, but his favorite 
thing to do was fish and spend time around the ones he loved. He was 
always so eager to pull out his slide projector and proudly show his 
military photos, family photos, and tell stories or re-live memories. 
James enjoyed passing time at home watching the Royals play or checking 
the stock markets. He took every day as it came, appreciated everyone in
 his life, and was thankful for every moment he had - and it was evident
 to those who knew him. He was a faithful servant to the Lord, attended 
masses regularly, and was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
 James will be greatly missed by all who knew him, but his memory 
will live on in our hearts and minds. Through his life he taught us how 
to live our dreams, through his example he taught us how to enjoy the 
fruits of our labor, but above all, through his love he taught us how to
 serve God and one another with undying devotion. 
 He is survived by his children, Vicki (Ken) Becker of Plainville, 
Kim (Bill) Glazner of McPherson, and John (Kelly) Kaba of Hays; 
brothers, Mike (Lisa) Kaba of Boulder City, NV, and Mark (Jeanie) Kaba 
of Wichita; sister-in-law, Nell Kaba of Wichita; brother-in-law and dear
 friend, Phil Barber of Plainville; eight grandchildren, Kurtis (Tara) 
of Piedmont, OK, Jessica (Matt) Korte of Evergreen, CO, Rhiannon (Nick) 
Weber of Claflin, Kennis (Kacy) Becker of Plainville, Krista (Catlin) 
Zahorsky of Manhattan, KS, Kassidy (Tripp) Roy of Overland Park, KS, 
Courtney Kaba of Golden, CO, Conner Glazner of McPherson, KS; and nine 
great-grandchildren with one on the way.
 James joins in heaven his parents, James and Marie Kaba; wife, 
Janice Kaba; and siblings, Larry “Butch” Kaba, Dennis Kaba, and Maryann 
Barber.
 A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, May 19, 2021,&nbsp; at 2:00 PM at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Plainville. Visitation
 will be held at the Church on Tuesday from 4PM until 8PM with a Vigil 
Service and K of C Rosary beginning at 7PM. 
 Memorials are suggested to the Sacred Heart Catholic Grade School 
and may be sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 320 SW 2nd 
St., Plainville, KS 67663.
