Hysham Echo Newspaper

The Hysham Echo Newspaper has been published since Nov. 28, 1911 for Treasure County, Montana.

The Echo has undergone many changes over the years and I was honored to be the editor at the time it turned 100.

Each week I will publish the recipes and Page from the Past and the obits as soon as I receive them.

Lucille K Van Hemelryck

July 26, 1930 to October 27, 2013


Hysham Montana native, Lucille K Van Hemelryck, 83, died October 27 at River Stone Hospice Home in Billings, Montana. She was born July 26, 1930 to Carroll (CV) and Frances Kimball in Miles City, Montana.  She attended grade school at Rancher School in Pease Bottom, graduated from Hysham High School and received her teaching certificate from Eastern Montana College in Billings in 1950.  She married her high school sweetheart, Robert (Bob) Van Hemelryck in 1950, and settled into her life as a wife and mother.  Bob and Lucille raised 4 children, Myles, Martin, Dennis, & Julie at the family's farm and ranch near Hysham.

In 1978, Bob and Lucille moved to town, eventually living in and fixing up the home built by JC Lyndes in the late 1800s.  Lucille was very involved with St. Joseph's Catholic Church, serving many years as the bookkeeper.  She loved working outside in her garden and flower beds, maintaining a very large yard for many years by herself. She took great pride in everything she grew, passing on her wisdom and love of gardening to her children.

Lucille was preceded in death by her husband Bob, brothers Keith & Edward Kimball, sister Marion Martin, and her parents.  She is survived by her sons Myles (Judi) of Helena, Martin (Sally), and Dennis (and the late Debra) Van Hemelryck of Hysham and daughter Julie (Chris) Susemihl of Grand Junction, Colorado.  Lucille has 7 grandchildren and 7 (almost 8) great-grandchildren.
