Read More	Former Blue Hill resident Ivan "Ike" Roy Karr, 93, a resident of College View in Hastings, passed away on Sunday, January 2, 2011 at Mary Lanning Memorial Health Care, Hastings. Services were Thursday at Blue Hill United Methodist Church with Rev. Michael Lee Burgess and Rev. Baldeo Singh officiating. Private family burial was in Blue Hill Cemetery. Visitation was held at Merten-Butler Mortuary in Blue Hill. There will be no visitation at the church. Ivan was born January 27, 1917, near Blue Hill to Frank and Bertha (Samson) Karr. He attended Cloverton School (District 25) in Webster County through grade 10 and then attended Blue Hill High School, graduating in 1935. After graduation, Ivan moved to Denver, Colo., and worked in a restaurant for three years. In 1939 he traveled to California with friends and worked in the date orchards. When World War II came and his older brother Phillip enlisted, Ivan was called home to farm for his father. He married Agnes Svoboda on February 13, 1941, and moved to a farm west of the Karr home place where they lived for five years. During this time two children were born, Betty (Karr) Kort and Robert Roy. In 1947 the family moved to the Karr home place. In 1972 they moved to Blue Hill. Ivan continued to farm until he retired in 1979. Ivan and Agnes moved to College View in Hastings in 2009. Ivan was active in the Blue Hill Community throughout his life. He served on the Cloverton (District 25) school board for many years, like his father before him. With school consolidation he was elected to the Blue Hill Community School Board of Education and was proud of his participation in the construction of the new Blue Hill high school building. Ivan also served on the Farmer's Union Co-op Elevator board for 16 years and the Blue Hill United Methodist Church board. He served on the West Gate Manor Board for 30 years. Above all, Ivan was dedicated to his family and to his passion for farming. He began his farming career in tradition of the pioneers, working with horse-drawn machinery, and he continued to farm through the transition to the high tech farming techniques of the modern era. His belief in the progress of rural America was well demonstrated through his many years of service on a variety of community boards. Beloved by family and friends, he will be missed. Ivan was preceded in death by his parents, six sisters, one brother, one grandson Scott, and his son Robert. Survivors include his wife, to whom he was married for 69 years; children and spouses, Betty and Ron Kort of Hastings and daughter-in-law Pam Karr; six grandchildren and spouses, Vonda and Dave Tubbs of Aurora, Mike and Diane Karr of Blue Hill, Nicole and Jim Dietz of Grand Island, Dan and Mandy Karr of Aurora, Julie and Robert Wall of Frisco Texas, Amy Kort and husband George Smaragdis of Arlington, VA; and fourteen great-grandchildren. In Lieu of flowers, Memorials may be given to the Mary Lanning Hospice program or the Blue Hill United Methodist Church. ~ Blue Hill Leader 12 Jan 2011 Page 4 A
