Do more of what makes you happy. Stand up for what you be lieve in, even if it means stand ing alone. And lastly, I can do all things through Christ who strength ens me from Philippians 4:13.

Ed u ca tors, Sue Fox and Dawn James, hosted the Eads Invitational Knowledge Bowl last Fri day where 18 schools brought 39 teams.

I can tell you from ex pe ri ence this is a grat i fy ing group to be long to. We need more mem bers, more ideas, and more work ers for the pro - jects of the Cham ber. This is a vol un teer group for the good of our Town of Eads. They nor mally meet on the first Wednes day of the month at noon.

Well, there was only one way to shut him up, so I started run - ning. I bought a sweat suit and started run ning. I run past his house each morn - ing. Then, about an hour later, I run past his house the other di rec tion, huff ing and puff ing and look ing at my watch. An hour? You run for an hour each morn ing? Of course not, Herb said, laugh ing. I run past Doc s house then walk the block to the li brary. An hour later, I run past Doc s house and then walk two blocks home. We stared at him. What? he said.

Charles Eder, 91 Charles LaVerne Eder was born Jan u ary 6, 1924 to Char ley and Eunice Eder. LaVerne, as he was known by his mid dle rather than first, was born at the home - stead five miles south east of Eads as was his sis ter Lois. LaVerne died sud denly on Jan u ary 6, 2015 at his win - ter home in Yuma, Ar i zona. His wife of 69 years, Mary Ilene Eder is left to mourn his pass ing along with his chil dren, Terence LaVerne Eder (Linda) of Eads, CO, Roger Walker Eder (Bonnie) of Riverton, WY and Mar i lyn Popejoy of Raytown, MO. Grandchildren surviving are Kimberly Eder, Ja son Strother, Heather Camp bell (Jim), Eric Eder, Zachary Popejoy, Bethany Popejoy, Ty ler Popejoy (Severina) and Cody Popejoy. There are seven great-grand chil - dren and three great-great-grand chil dren sur viv ing.laverne was pre - ceded in death by his fa ther, Char ley Eder, his mother, Eunice Bow ers, his sis ter, Lois Wag ner and grand - Obit u ary daugh ter, Leah Michelle Popejoy. LaVerne grad u ated from Eads High School, mar ried Mary Ilene Walker Feb ru ary 11, 1945 in Eads, CO. The US Army called him up just a few short months af ter be - ing mar ried and he served in the Cal vary in New York. Upon his re turn from duty, like his fa ther Char ley, LaVerne chose farm ing and ranch ing to pro vide for his fam ily. In 1968, LaVerne be gan work ing for the State of Colorado Highway De - part ment but con tin ued to farm and raise cat tle. Af ter 30 years on the State High - way, LaVerne re tired. It was at that time that he and Ilene be gan their ad ven ture in a mo tor home to travel and visit warmer cli mates. They set tled on Yuma, AZ as a regular winter destina - tion and pur chased prop erty there. LaVerne con tin ued to farm in Yuma as he raised or anges and grape fruit. He spent a con sid er able amount of time pick ing and juic ing the fruit and trans - port ing the fruit of his la bor back to Eads. A fa vor ite past-time the cou ple en - joyed while in Yuma was that of danc ing. Many last - ing friend ships were forged through the con tacts made with dance part ners in Yuma and south east Col o - rado. I think some of the things many folks will re mem ber LaVerne for was his cheer ful at ti tude, can did and some - times blunt man ner of speak ing and of course his quick wit and sense of hu - mor. That man could re - mem ber a joke and tell it at just the right time and al - ways re mem ber the punch line. LaVerne made great ef fort to make his fam ily know they were im por tant. He and Ilene trav eled great dis - tances to at tend grad u a - tions, wed dings and other mo men tous oc ca sions in the lives of his chil dren and grand chil dren as well as other rel a tives and friends. Most deeply, he will be missed by his wife of al most 70 years. His chil dren, grandchildren, great grand - children, other relatives and friends will feel a loss and emp ti ness that can only be filled by rich and cher ished mem o ries for which we can be for ever grate ful. Fu neral ser vices were held on Jan u ary 17, 2015 at the United Meth od ist Church in Eads with Pas tor Nancy Peacock officiating.
