Richard James "Dick" Malcom
was born to Willard and Evelynn
(Huber) Malcom on Oct. 3, 1945, in
Miles City, Mont. He attended the
Preston Country School, grades 1-5;
Baker Elementary School, grades 6-
9; and graduated from Baker High
School in 1963. Dick was proud of
his perfect attendance throughout
high school. Following graduation
he drove truck for Dale Wyrick until
he was called to serve in the U.S.
Army in 1965. He Was honored to
serve his country until his discharge
in 1967 and remained on standby re-
serve until 1971. Dick attended the
International Farrier School, as well
as a mechanic school in Colorado.
For the next several years Dick en-
joyed traveling the country shoeing
horses and meeting people. Prior to
returning back to the family ranch,
he worked for Warner Johnson in the
Lindsay, Mont area before leasing
his own place nearby.
Dick was introduced to the love
of his life, Patty Thielen, at a dance
in July 1984. Dick and Patty found
their forever dancing partners and
were married that same year on Nov.
24. With this union Dick gained his
son, Chad Follmer.
Over the years they worked side
by side to continue building the
legacy of the Malcom family. Dick
was extremely proud of Chad and
was excited when he left the oilfield
to be on the ranch full time. This
dream was realized with the creation
of the Malcom-Follmer Ranch In
December 2006, Dick became
oil
"Dick" Malcom
grampa to Chad's twin boys, Chance
and Chase. These boys were the light
of his life.
Dick's love of life and his family
was apparent, as was his passion for
his horses and his herd of cattle. He
spent countless hours breaking and
training horses. He was a kind, quiet
soul who was known for the strength
of his beliefs and his work ethics. He
was a humble, respectful man. Dick
made an impact on everyone who
met him.
More than once, Dick made the
statement: "Why would I go on va-
cation when I can step out my front
door and be on vacation." His love
for this life was beyond words and as
he told his sister Lynnda, 'Tm living
my dream."
Dick was currently a member of
Horse Creek Grazing Association
and served as president for 31 years;
Fallon County Weed Board for 27
years; American Legion Post 55 for
51 years; and Baker Rural Fire De-
partment. Dick is survived by his
wife Patty; son Chad; sister Lynnda
(Gary) Evans, Phoenix, Ariz.; Jim
(Marynel) Malcom, Salmon, Idaho;
and grandsons Chance and Chase
Follmer. He is also survived by all of
Party's siblings and their spouses, as
well as numerous nieces, nephews,
great-nieces and nephews, and
cousins. Dick was preceded in death
by his parents Willard and Evelynn;
sister Marilyn Perry; and father and
Ambrose and
LaVonne Thielen.

WIBAUX, Mont. - Kay Lynn
Jones of Wibaux, Mont passed
away on Sunday, Dec. 31, 2017, at
the Wibaux County Nursing Home
where she had resided since 2011.
She was 83.
Visitation was held from 6-8 p.m.
on Friday, Jan. 5, at the Silha Funeral
Home in Wibaux and one hour prior
to the service. A funeral service was
held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 6,
at the Wibaux Bible Church in
Wibaux with Pastor Rick Vamum of-
ficiating. Silha Funeral Home of
Wibaux was entrusted with the
arrangements.
Kay was born in Wibaux on
March 30, 1934, the second of three
children to Glenn and Jennie (Steele)
Scammon. She grew up on the fam-
ily farm northeast of Wibaux with
her two brothers where she attended
rural Hay Creek School. Upon her
graduation from Wibaux County
High School in 1952, she attended
Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills,
Alberta, Canada, where her mother
later served on staff in the business
office.
On July 3, 1955, she married
Thomas James (T.J.) Lynn on the
Scammon farm north of Wibaux.
"Jimmy" and Kay lived their entire
married life on the Lynn farm south
of Wibaux where they raised their
two boys and three girls.
Kay was a "people person" and
used her gift of hospitality gener-
ously. Whether it was a cup of cof-
fee, a large meal for a group of
college students, or a missionary
family, all were warmly welcomed
and made to feel at home. She en-
joyed her rural neighbors, hosting
coffee times and staying in touch
through the telephone party line. For
many years, the family home was
used as a polling place for southern
Wibaux County, and each voter was
treated to coffee and goodies. She al-
ways loved a good story, especially
a funny one, and her laugh was con-
tagious.
Each year Kay grew a large gar-
den, canning and preserving from its
bounty~ During harvest, she often
took meals to the field, turning the
occasion into a family picnic where
she spread a blanket on the stubble
field and served from the trunk of the

$500,000(market value), including the value of any assets gifted or otherwise
divested within the last three years, and excluding the first unencumbered $125,000

If eligible, the taxable value of the homeowner's property is reduced by at
least 20% up to 100% depending on the applicant's adjusted income.
