CHESTER EUGENE FLINT

Chester attended Coal Creek Elementary School and was a 1950 graduate of Schell City High School. At the age of 16, he began farming on his own, the occupation that he continued his entire life.
In 1951, Chester met Freda Beatrice Potter, a young schoolteacher in Schell City. On Feb. 1, 1952, the two were married at the Kings Point Baptist Parsonage in Lockwood, where they were nearly late for their own wedding due to flood waters along their destination...but they did arrive. To their union, three children were born, two sons and one daughter.
Chester and Freda continued to farm while raising the children. Once the youngest was school age, Freda resumed work with the school district this time as bookkeeper in the school's administrative offices.
Chester lived his entire life on the family farm and was always known to be a good neighbor and friend to all. Every morning he could be found guarding the door at Madalyn's and later drinking coffee with the early morning crew. Fortunately, Chester was never forced to retire and was always able to take care of his cattle, something he loved to do. His hobbies included hunting and collecting toy tractors. Chester was also a member of the First Baptist Church in El Dorado Springs.

Roy attended both Stoney Point and Prairie Valley schools and was a 1933 graduate of Schell City High School. For a time Roy moved to Idaho to work on a ranch but soon decided that he would prefer to be closer to family in this area, returning after a short time.
On Nov. 27, 1941, Roy was united in marriage to Ina Alene Brown at the home of Pastor Kenneth Nichols in Schell City. The newlyweds set up housekeeping just inside the St. Clair County line. It was while living there that their daughter, Lovell, was born. In 1946 the family moved to the farm in Schell City that both called home the rest of their lives.
Roy worked as a farmer and spent many weekends showing quarter horses in the area winning many trophies and awards. For 24 years he was a school bus driver for the Schell City School District. He was also an over fifty year member of Schell City Lodge #448 AF and AM. In 1994 he was named Grand Marshall of the Schell City Fall Festival. He was also a member of the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church.
Roy could be seen daily at the Schell City Cafe or Madalyn's Kitchen sitting at the Liar's Table and catching up on the daily news. Everyone around could spot Roy “roaring” to town in the pickup that he called “Pinky”. He will be sadly missed by family and those of us who kept a close eye on him.
