Del Schuman
Del Schuman, 66, a long time Imperial area resident, suffered a short illness and passed away Thursday, April 15, 2004, at the Swedish Medical Center in Denver, Colo.
Delmer Wayne Schuman was the fourth son born to Albert and Mary Schuman, in Hayes County, Neb. on Oct. 20, 1937. He returned to his Lord God on April 15, 2004.
Del was preceded in death by his father, Albert; his mother, Mary; three brothers, Kay, Jack and Maurice; infant twin sisters; and an infant granddaughter.
Del grew up on the family farm in Hayes County, attending elementary school nearby and High School in Hayes Center.
After graduating from high school, he immediately taught at a rural elementary school. It was also at this time that he began attending McCook Community College, pursuing a teacher degree.
On June 8, 1957, he married Carol Lee Rucker, also a Hayes Center graduate. Forty-five years later, Del would write in a journal for his children that Carol was his "Blessed Find!"
Del and Carol soon settled in Imperial, Neb., where Del took a teaching position at Imperial Elementary School. In just a few short years, at the encouragement of the local school leaders, Del became a young elementary school principal, and began pursuing a masters degree at Colorado Teachers College (now known as the University of Northern Colo.) over the course of many summers.
Del continued on at Imperial Elementary for many years until 1979, when he took a hiatus from the school to pursue a personal business and also work for a local business. He did that for seven years, and then the lure of working with children and teachers alike brought him back. At that time he began working for the Champion and Lamar schools, teaching and taking on the Principal’s role, where he remained until his illness in November of 2003.
Del’s joys in life, in addition to the time he spent with school activities, were working with his church, spending time with his family, and working with the elderly at the Imperial Manor. Del spent 17 years volunteering at the manor-teaching a Sunday school class and interacting with the residents. He also enjoyed various sports and activities, music and singing and when he had time, loved to sit on his patio and read.
Del is survived by his wife of 46 years, Carol; his five children and their spouses, Jeff and Diane of Highlands Ranch, Colo.; Terry and Leslie of Denver, Colo.; Lori Schuman White of Arvada, Colo.; Marilee and husband Jeff Wallin, of Imperial; and Julie and husband Tim Swan, of Fort Collins, Colo.; 11 grandchildren, Jeffrey II and Joshua; Ryan Karlin and Jacob; Benjamin and Adrienne White; Justus, Makenna, Dakota and Kalen Wallin; and Olivia Swan; brothers Carl and wife Dolores and children of Greeley, Colo. and Neil and Margaret and children of Aurora, Colo.

Marvin Hollenbaugh
Marvin Earl Hollenbaugh of Benkelman, Neb. died Friday, April 16, 2004, at the Dundy County Hospital in Benkelman at the age of 74.
He was born Oct. 18, 1929 at Julesburg, Colo. to Lewis and Florence Aileen (Ferguson) Hollenbaugh Yount and moved several times with his family before settling in Cheyenne Wells, Colo. in 1945.
Marvin attended school at Cheyenne Wells, and was the Salutatorian of his graduating class.
In 1951 he was drafted into the U.S. Army and was sent to Korea and Japan before returning to the United States where he was stationed at Camp Irwin, (Fort Irwin) California in a Tank Battalion.
In 1955, his Battalion was sent overland to Salt Flats in Nevada where they were the first battalion to be one mile from an atomic bomb that was dropped from a tower. His comment was that even though the windows on the tank were covered, night was turned into day and the tank was lifted off of the ground.
In 1956 he was transferred to Fort Hood, Texas, and he renewed his relationship with Sally Ann Hudson, having dated two of Sally’s sisters before his deployment to Korea. While at Fort Hood, he learned he was to be gyroscoped to Germany in the fall of 1957.
He and Sally Ann were united in marriage on Oct. 14, 1956, and they were sent to Kentucky for a short time before returning to Texas to leave with their battalion. They were flown out of New York on a 36-hour flight to Frankfurt, Germany and then to their home in Erlangen, Germany. A place they would call home for three years. Marvin’s battalion spent most of their time on the Czechoslovakian border.
In 1959, daughter, Andrea Lee joined the family, and in 1960 Marvin’s tour of duty was up, and they moved to Monterey, Calif. where he entered the Army Language School to learn the Russian language. As part of his training, he spoke nothing but Russian for three months. He received his Warrant Officer Status while in Monterey, and was accepted into the Intelligence Division.
A second daughter, Stacey Aileen was born in 1961, and Marvin was sent to Sinop, Turkey for one full year. Upon his return, the family moved to Fort Meade, Md. where he was a member of the of the National Security Agency until they were sent to Germany again, this time to Frankfurt, where they lived for four years.
Marvin and his family returned to Fort Meade, and it was here he received his Honorable Discharge and retired in 1971. In the fall of 1972, Marvin and his family moved to Benkelman, Neb. and he used his G.I. Bill to become a Vet Tech, and worked at Twin Forks Clinic for the next 16 years.
In 1989, Marvin suffered a heart attack that left him unable to return to work, so he focused his time on his family and spending time in his woodshop. He made all types of wooden items and made certain that every doctor, resident and nurse at Dundy County Hospital had a name sign for their desk or office. He was a member of the VFW.
Preceding him in death are his parents, Lewis and Aileen Hollenbaugh; stepfather, Cecil Yount; and brothers, Richard and Dean.
He is survived by his loving wife and best friend of more than 47 years, Sally A. (Hudson) Hollenbaugh of Benkelman; daughter, Andrea Fye and husband, Ted, and their children Tyson and Tawny, all of Stratton, Colo.; daughter, Stacey Crow and daughters, Katie and Shannon, all of Stuart, Fla.; as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
A memorial service with military honors were held Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 10 a.m. (MDT) at the United Methodist Church in Benkelman with Rev. Cindi Prather officiating.
Services concluded at the church. The family gathered in Cheyenne Wells, Colo. that afternoon at 4 p.m. (MDT) for a graveside inurnment with Rev. Michael Ingersoll officiating.
