The Robert J. Kille Family moved to Hardtner, Kansas in 1965 from Topeka.
  Bob had traveled for 9 years for the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, served
  3 years as Secretary of the Kansas Bankers Association and was a bond Sales-
  man for Columbian Securities in Topeka for 8 years.
     Rober Kille was born in Attica, Kansas, 5-16-22, where his father was
  active in the Attica State Bank serving as Cashier and then President. Pat
  Kille was born 12-17-27 in Anthony, Kansas, and also was reared in a banking
  family. Her father, K.G. McGovney, was Cashier of the Freeport State Bank
  and her mother, Anna McGovney, was President of the bank until they sold
  their interest in the bank and retired in 1958.
     Bob graduated from Attica High School and attended college at Emporia
  State from 1939-94. He was in the U.S. Army Hospital Corps from 1942-46 
  including 26 months in Europe, mostly England and Paris, France. Bob then

  at a girls school, Christian College, Columbia, Missouri. She graduated from

  at University of Kansas Medical Center.
     Pat and Bob originally met in 1946 in Attica when their two fathers were
  on a school planning committee in Harper County, Kansas. However, Bob had
  just gotten a new car and Pat was slightly overweight. (weight circumstances
  now reversed). So, the first remembered meeting was a blind date at Kansas
  Unversity two years later. They were married in November of 1950 and spent
  15 years in Topeka and Great Bend, Kansas. Pat was employed as a Medical
  Technologist in Topeka from 1950-51 and bob was employed by the Hartford Fire
  Insurance Company. During their 5 years at Great Bend (1952-57) they built a
  home and their two children were born. John in 1954 aned Barbara in 1955.
     John and Barbie finished grade and junior high in the Hardtner School,
  with John receiving his high school diploma from Hardtner High. Barbie was in
  the first graduating class of USD #255, South Barber High School at Kiowa.
  Following high school, John attended Coe College at Cedar RApids, Iowa and
  later Parks College in Cahokia, Illinois. John married Donna Boisseau and
  they now have a baby daughter, Michelle. Barbie Kille graduated from Kansas
  State University with honors in 1978 and is currently in a management training
  program with Sanger-Harris at Dallas, Texas.
     Bob moved to Hardtner to purchase controlling interest in the Farmer's
  State Bank from a combiniation of A.M. Webb, Jake Molz, Leonard Achenback, 
  and Forrest Ohlson. He continues to serve as President of the bank. Pat 
  started working at the bank in 1965 and was elected to the position of Vice-
