Community mourns loss of local historian

Local historian Eddie Herrman, formerly of Butler, passed away Saturday morning October 20th in Springfield, Mo.

Funeral services will be Tuesday at 2pm at the Schowengerdt Funeral Chapel in Butler with inurnment at the Oak Hill Cemetery with Military Honors. Visitation will be from 1 - 2 pm Tuesday immediately prior to services at the Chapel. 

Our community and the entire Bates County area has lost a true friend.

Eddie Herrman, who spent his life here among us until he and Shirley moved to Springfield,
to be near their son, has passed on to his reward.

Eddie worked at the Butler radio station KMAM/KMOE-FM for a period of time in the early years of his career. He later moved into insurance and spent the rest of his time in that business field. But he'll be best remembered among us for his excellent work...a labor of love...giving us historical news about our part of Missouri and Kansas. His weekly article in the News Express was a feature that drew many readers every week.

Eddie loved this area, and we were fortunate to be able to see past and present the work he put into living here.
