Helen Eliza was born April 1, 1912, on a farm in Barton County, Mo., to James and Ollie Harpole. She had two brothers, James and Herman, and one sister, Frances. She attended high school and nursing school in Pittsburg, Kan., graduating as a registered nurse in 1933. After working five years at a community hospital, she went to Barnes hospital in St. Louis for advanced surgical nurse training, then took jobs in Flagstaff, Ariz. and Scottsbluff. In Scottsbluff, she became director of nurses and director of the nursing school. She married John R. Bucknell, a Methodist minister who was administrator of the hospital, and one daughter, Mary Helen, was born. After leaving Scottsbluff in 1945, John served churches in Superior and Franklin. Upon his retirement from the ministry in 1954, she and john moved to Minden to serve the community as director of nurses and administrator of the new Kearney County Community Hospital. She retired in 1974 and spent several years traveling and enjoyed being active in her church and community. She remained in Minden until 1990, when failing health prompted a move to Aurora, Colo., to be with her family. She delighted in being able to be with her grandchildren and help "keep the household running." Her lifelong career of service to the community through the hospital and the church was a great joy to her. She is survived by her daughter and husband, Rod and Mary Moore; grandchildren, James and Molly of Aurora, Colo., nieces, Betty Peterson of Pittsburg, Kan., and Mary Brockwell of Santa Fe, N.M. Services were held April 24 at the Minden United Methodist Church with Pastor Bill Jardine officiating. Burial was in the Minden Cemetery.
