Minor Malcolm Dix was born January 20,
1917, in rural Butte, Boyd County, Neb.,
a son of Edward S. and Iska L. (Wiard)
Dix, and died Thursday (April 29, 2004)
at his home in Greene.
In 1922 the Dix family moved to Butler
County, settling near Bristow.
Minor attended rural schools nearby, and
attended the Greene High School.
Following his father’s death in 1930, he
left school to work and support his
mother and family.
Since 1936 Minor has been engaged in

marriage to Audrey Jean Packard, at the

union was born five children. In 1959
they moved to their present farm in
Packard.
Minor had a great love for horses. He
first started farming with horses and in
later years he raised quarter horses,
sometimes up to eighteen horses at a
time. He also enjoyed gardening. Many
will remember the strawberries he grew,
then sold in town. He was a 4-H leader
and a member of the Farm Bureau. He
enjoyed spending his time at home with
his family. When family and friends
would come to visit it would give him
great pleasure.
In 1996, Minor and Audrey retired and
moved into their home in Greene.

wife of 56 years, Audrey, of Greene; his

Evelyn Elsadie Erdahl Burma was
born on December 21, 1910, at

special in that it not only
housed 32 teachers and many
others who rented a room when
they first came to live in
Buffalo Center, but also because
the house was always open to
visitors. That’s just the way
Evelyn wanted it.

Roger James Fullerton
was born at the
telephone company office
located in his aunt’s
home in Rock Falls, one
of two sons of Marc
Anthony and Ida (Schnartz)
Fullerton, on Dec. 23,
1925, as an early
Christmas gift.
He graduated from the
Rockford High School in
1943 and then was called
to serve his country in
the United States Marine
Corps on April 1, 1944.
He participated in
zero-wave on Okinawa as
an armored amphibian
crewman with the First
Armored Amphibian
Battalion for three
months from April until
the end of June 1945.
He served honorably
until his discharge on
May 28, 1946, from the
Great Lakes Naval Center
in Chicago.
One year and three
months after his return
to Rockford he was
united in marriage to
Maxine Faye Laudner on
Aug. 1, 1947, in
Rockford.
Their honeymoon was
delayed slightly due to
losing the car keys in
his pants cuff and
blowing a tie rod.
To this union were born
two children, Anne and
Jim.
Roger served his
community generously as
a volunteer firefighter
for 22 years, of which
14 were as the fire
chief.
His tenacity also proved
to be beneficial to
serving his community
for eight years on the
Rockford City Council,
as well as serving on
the Rockford Area
Development Board and
the North Iowa Area
Development Board.
He was a life member of
the First United
Methodist Church in
Rockford.
Roger served as an
electrician apprentice
with Virgil Mosher
in1946 and then
purchased the business
in 1957. With a
service-oriented
philosophy he added
plumbing, heating, air
conditioning and sewer
installation to the
business.
He purchased Carrot
Hardware store in the
early 1970s and added it
to his current business
and then added an
insulation installation
portion.
Roger had a creative
mind and often solved
difficult problems by
thinking through them.
Roger treated everyone
as fair as he could
often solving
work-related problems
over the phone at no
charge
He also challenged his
family and friends by
asking continuous
questions until they
came to think the same
way he did.
He and his wife retired
in 2002 more from health
problems than wanting to
retire. Roger in his
later years would find a
little time to play “pop
the pellet” or “drown a
worm”.
He spent numerous hours
fishing with his son,
working on Masonic
ritual, and would tease
him about the size of
his tackle box versus
his small brown paper
sack and who caught the
most fish.
In his early years he
enjoyed hunting
pheasants, rabbits and
squirrels.
He was a 50-year member
of the Rock-Sirius
Masonic Lodge where he
had served as the
Worshipful Master as
well as other offices.
He also was a former
member of the York and
Scottish Rite and the
Shrine.
Roger followed the
Democratic philosophy
and would good-naturedly
argue his points.
He was very proud of his
children’s and
grandchildren’s goals
and accomplishments.
Roger always had time to
help someone with his or
her problems but
couldn’t always get the
jobs done at home. He
was an all-around good
guy with a dry sense of
humor.
Those thankful in
sharing Roger’s life
include his wife Maxine
“Mick” of Rockford; one
daughter, Anne C. and
her husband, Stephen
High, and their two
children, Morgan and
Taylor, all of Girard,
Kan.; one son, James M.
and his wife, Mary Nell
Fullerton, and their
son, Samuel, of Mason
City; one sister-in-law,
Shirley Fullerton, of
Rockford; a host of
in-laws on the Laudner
side and many, many
nieces and nephews.
His parents and his only
brother, Lloyd
Fullerton, preceded him
in death.
