Evelyn Kaiser

Evelyn Pauline Schick Kaiser was born September 30, 1925 on a farm in western Phillips County Kansas to Carl and Martha Fischli Schick. Her parents moved to Norton County when Evelyn was a small child. She attended grade school at the Cactus School. Evelyn was baptized into the Christian faith at the St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Logan and confirmed by Rev. R. W. Schlarhter on June 15, 1941. She spent much time at home helping her parents on the family farm in Norton County. She completed high school at

Densmore in 1944.

On August 23, 1947 she married Gus. F. Kaiser at Phillipsburg. They moved to a farm north of Stuttgart where Gus farmed and Evelyn was a homemaker.

Their first son Jerry was born in July 1950. In 1955 the family moved to Kirwin to continue their career in farming. In January 1957 Judy was born. Gus and Evelyn continued farming until 1960 when they moved to Phillipsburg. Gus then made a career change building houses and doing electrical work. It was during this time they built their house on south seventh street in Phillipsburg.

Evelyn was very proud of her home. Her family was the center of her life. She loved to spend time cooking and caring for her children and she faithfully supported all her family's interests and activities.

In the late 1970's Evelyn was diagnosed with Pre-senile dementia. It was during this time her health began to deteriorate. As time progressed Gus became the prim care giver in the home.

Evelyn especially loved little children. In 1984 she became a grandmother. She was elated at the news of the birth of each of her three grandchildren, Matthew, Christopher and Amy.

Evelyn departed this life on January 14, 1996.

Survivors include her husband Gus of the home; one son Jerry and his wife Allene, Inman; one daughter Judy and her husband Paul McLean, Roseville, Minnesota; one brother and his wife Edith, Densmore; three grandchildren: Matt Kaiser, Christopher and May McLean and a host of relatives and friends.
