1936, to Aaron R. and Hallie (Bell) Markley. He passed from this life on April 15, 2024, at the very place
he was born, his family farm.
Bob attended the one-room school of Moneka through the eighth grade. He completed his high school
years at Mound City, graduating in the class of 1955.
After graduation Bob chose to return to the farm starting his career as a farmer and stockman. He

commercial livestock, along with various grain and forage crops. He received the Kansas Bankers

conservation efforts and land management.
When Bob was not on the farm you could find him doing a bit of traveling and socializing. He enjoyed

the years he was a member of many area organizations: Linn County Shrine, Mirza Shrine, Mound City
Lodge #33 A. F. & A. M., Scottish Rite, Linn County Farm Bureau, Mound City Grange, Linn County
Extension Council and was a 4-H Leader.
