Vandalism at Hudson School

On 2/13/2019, Deputies were dispatched to the Hudson School located on east 52 Hwy just west of Appleton City. The Call was in reference to some vandalism to the school's playground equipment. Someone had cut several chains to the swings and stole the seats. The Deputies are working with the school to identify possible suspects.

In the last year volunteers have worked hard to raise funds to purchase playground equipment for the school. These volunteers donated time and their own money to improve the school. The playground equipment purchased was around $40,000.

If you have information in regards to the vandalism to the swing set please contact a deputy at 660-679-3232

Obituary - Adeline “Angie” Mary (Strick) Stevens

Adeline “Angie” Mary (Strick) Stevens, 86, passed away early on Thursday morning February 28, 2019 at her home in Nevada. Angie was born August 25, 1932 in Kirk, Colorado to Paul Joseph and Alice Mary (Waller) Strick.

Angie graduated from Kirk High School Class of 1950 and moved to Lenexa, KS to live with her sister Agnes and brother-in-law Orville to secure a job. While living and working in Kansas City, she accompanied her sister Eileen to Fort Riley, KS to pick up Eileen’s husband and on that trip she met her soon to be husband, R.A. Stevens, Jr. The couple married November 7, 1953 in the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Kansas City, MO, and made their home in Nevada, MO where they raised four children.

Angie was fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home mom. She enjoyed growing flowers and gardening, and worked for several years at Gragg’s Greenhouse during the planting season. She was truly in her element if she had her hands in the dirt and was able to make things grow. Angie also enjoyed traveling back to Colorado to see friends and family as often as health and weather would allow. She enjoyed hosting family dinners, and being able to help her children, and grandchildren whenever and however possible. She especially enjoyed traveling to Florida, stopping at various beaches along the way to walk in the sand. One of her great joys in life was feeding and watching “her” birds in the back yard.

She was preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, Agnes Clarke and Eileen Russell; and one brother, Paul Strick.

Angie is survived by her husband R.A. Stevens, Jr, of the home; children, Caroline Stevens, Nevada, Lora Miller (Butch) Nevada, Dennis Stevens (Dana) Springfield, Lisa Armstrong (Bryan), Nevada; grandchildren, Kyle, Logan and Jacob Armstrong; Dominick Stevens, Delana Wood, Andre and Anthony Miller, Casey Sims and Victoria (Tori) Miller; great-grandchildren Jordan, Macy, Trenton, Drew, Hayden, Holden, Levi, Kamdon, and Kilby, one great-great-grandchild, Hadley; sisters, Theresa Adamson, Wray, CO, Jean Gilchrist, Limon, CO, Jane Bouland, Conyers, GA; brothers, Roy Strick, Denver, CO, Henry Strick, Joes, CO, Walter Strick, Denver, CO, and Daniel Strick, Loveland, CO; a host of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, March 4, 2019 at St Mary’ Catholic Church with Rev. Peter Savidge officiating. Interment will follow in Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Nevada. A Rosary service will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday with visitation following until 7:00 p.m. at Ferry Funeral Home.

Suspicious Person call leads to arrest in Harrisonville

Amos Matlock

On 02/26/2019, in the 900 block of S. Oakland Street in Harrisonville a citizen saw a suspicious person in the area of a storage building, and notified the Police Department.

Officers saw signs of forced entry and entered the building. Officers found several tools that had been moved from their normal location and stacked near the door.

Due to the size and amount of items in the building, a K-9 from the Cass County Sheriff's Office responded and located 37 year old Amos Matlock. Matlock was taken into custody and the Cass County Prosecuting Attorney charged him with felony Burglary. The bond was set at $5,000, cash only.

If not for the watchful citizen, Matlock may have gotten away with this crime. So, watch out for your friends and neighbors and if you see something that does not look right, give us a call at 380-8940 or 9-1-1.
