From the Bates County Sheriff's Office
Because of the large area where the 14 year old was last seen, a multi-agency ground search was activated. Members of the Bates County Sheriff’s Posse, Sheriff’s Mounted Posse, Butler Fire, Butler Police, and Bates County Sheriff’s Office were all activated along with the area property owners to search the area. As equipment such as man power, 4 wheelers, UTVs, drones and horses began to arrive the 14 year old subject was located and returned safely to his family.
This shows the capabilities of our local emergency services and their ability to work together as one team to benefit our community.
Approximately 40 people arrived initially with another 20 to 30 additional volunteers loading equipment to respond. We would like to thank the property owners and public who helped with our efforts.
Obituary - Eleanor Jane (Muir) Gebo
Eleanor's interesting life included working in a shirt factory and clerking in a shoe store before she began a 26-year career with C&P Telephone Company where she retired in 1982. On Christmas Day 1942 Eleanor married the love of her life, Donald George Gebo, at St. Peters Episcopal Church in Princess Anne, Maryland, and the couple then moved to Baltimore, MD, where they made their home for 40 years. Their only child, Patricia Ann Gebo (Carson), was born on January 31, 1945. In retirement, Eleanor and Don Gebo moved back to the suburbs of Princess Anne where they lived for eleven years. Following Don's death in 1988 Eleanor moved to Butler, Missouri, to be near her daughter and grandchildren.
Eleanor remained active in the Butler community until her mid '90s, attending weekly services at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Butler, playing cards with friends, and donating many hours of service each week to her community. Her heart's work was volunteering at the gift shop at Bates County Memorial Hospital and dispatching for the Senior Taxi Service in Butler.
Eleanor (Auntie) was very religious and spent the last twenty months with her niece, Suzzanne Bilo, her husband David, and their daughters Rachel and Kristina, reading her bible, doing word searches, corresponding with friends and family, knitting, watching boats as they sailed by, and enjoying her daily glass of wine. She lived her life according to Ephesians 4:32 — "And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ."
Eleanor was predeceased by her husband, parents and all her siblings, John Muir, Jr., Bessie Bloodsworth, Edwina Martin, Edna Hight and Robert Muir; and by her daughter Patricia (Gebo) Carson.
