George J. Seuser, Jr., 90, Marquette, Kansas, formerly of Bison, Kansas, died Thursday, April 9, 2020, at Riverview Estates, Marquette, Kansas.
George was born July 12, 1929, in La Crosse, Kansas, the son of George J. Seuser, Sr., and Marie (Jedlicka) Seuser. He was a resident of Bison, Kansas, for 83 years, before becoming a resident of Riverview Estates, Marquette, Kansas, in January, 2013. A 1947 graduate of Bison High School, Bison, Kansas, he was a farmer before his retirement.
On November 1960, he married Harriet Ann Green in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She preceded him in death on June 2, 2017. George and Harriet made their home on the original Seuser homestead that was established in 1891. George believed a man’s word was his bond, and that working the land was a calling. He thrived on the thrill and stress of harvest each year. Long after retiring, he would speak about raising cattle, planting, and preparing for harvest. On a Sunday drive, he would note, “Now that’s a good lookin’ milo field.” His passing means he now walks in fields of gold.
Survivors include the following: one son, George J. Seuser III, Kanopolis Lake, Kansas; one daughter, Laurie Denk (John, Lindsborg, Kansas; two grandchildren, Claire Denk, Des Moines, Iowa; and Connor Denk, Lindsborg, Kansas; and one great grandson, Liam Denk, Lindsborg, Kansas.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife; one brother, Bill Seuser; and two sisters, Margarete Albers, and Mildred Littler.
Because of the current challenges the world is facing at the present time, this is a private, immediate family only, graveside service and interment, with no visitation.
In lieu of flowers or plants, the family requests all memorials be made to Riverview Estates, Inc., Marquette, Kansas, his final home where he was loved and cared for well.
