He was the oldest of three children in the family. The family moved to Chelsea township when he was a year old, where he resided until moving into town in 1974, but continued to help on the farm until 1988. He attended school Districts 77 and 35. After graduating from the eighth grade, he stayed home and helped his father farm. In 1930, he started farming on his own, and in 1939 had a farm sale. Afterwards he attended and graduated from the Lincoln School of Aeronautics. He spent two years working in Wichita, Ks., working as a riveter at Beachcraft Airplane factory. Vorus was married to Marian Wilkins of Geneva on February 1, 1942, and to them five children were born, Vaden, Cheryl, Vance, Kurt and Kent. In the fall of 1942, he returned to Geneva where he worked as a guard at the Fairmont Air Base. Due to health problems, he was unable to serve in the Armed Forces, so he returned to his first love, farming. His caring for the land and the livestock were his first priorities, because of this, he was the first one in Fillmore county to build a hog confinement operation. He was very interested in our government and spent many days helping to elect worthy men to congress, as well as extending a helping hand on the local level elections. He belonged to a number of local organizations, but at the present was only an active Farm Bureau member. He was past church board member of Chelsea U.B. Church, where he was baptized and belonged until 1954, when he transferred to the Congregational Church. He was a 4-H leader for 10 years and was always willing to give a helping hand to those in need. Vorus was a good neighbor as well as a good friend to anyone he came in contact with. Vorus’ interests were first and foremost centered around his family-wife, children and grandchildren. The times he spent with his family were enjoyable times and the grandchildren were most fortunate to be able to spend their formative years with their grandparents. They will have many pleasant memories. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Verle and son, Vance. He is survived by his wife, Marian; children, Vaden and wife, Ravonna, Cheryl Anderson and husband, Dr. Robert, Kurt and wife, Jan, Kent and wife, Cheryl; sister, Bonnie Mook and husband, Burton; and sister-in-law, Evelyn Myers. He is also survived by former daughter-in-law, Marilyn Craig and husband, David; grandchildren, Michelle Kalkwarf and husband, Russ, Kevin Myers, Steven and Susan Anderson; Lisa, Jamey and Matt Myers, Amy, Courtney and Adam, and Tonie and Vance Lee Myers; Ronee Craig and many very special friends, young and old alike. Services were conducted from the First Congregational United church of Christ, Geneva, on Wednesday, October 26, 1992, with Reverend Wanda Bennett and Pastor Woodrow Wilson officiating. Piano music was provided by Nancy Cradduck. Two special selections, “A Closer Walk with Thee” and “Beyond the Sunset” were played during the service.
