1920 Marriage #2: She m. 2nd Ole Thomas Molan 2-26-1920 Algona, Kossuth Co., IA.

This is a loving memo on Ole: (src: Find A Grave)
Lillie Bishop married Harley when she was 16 yrs old. She loved him all her life. At the time, her children were 2, 4 , and 6 years old, Ole Molan convinced Lillie to marry him, because he didn't want to see her raise those little babies alone. I am proud of my grandfather because he took Harley's children and raised them like his own and is known for going to school on different occasions and telling the teachers "There are no STEPS in my family!!"- referring to his stepchildren that he never considered as such. Ole was the city Marshall of Swea City for 30 years, a religious and upstanding citizen . I mention this because Harley's people need to know that his children were LOVED!!!

Kyle Newton Bishop, 89, of Riner, Va., better known as "Pa," went to be with the Lord on Sunday, July 18, 2010, from the comfort of his home. A true patriarch, his strong faith and Christian example touched all who knew him. Kyle attended Sidney United Methodist Church in Riner where he was a devoted and active member for 61 years. He served as Sunday School Superintendent, taught Sunday School, and was a member of various committees.

Kyle was born and raised in Riner, where he graduated as salutatorian for his class at Auburn High School, married his loving wife of 65 years, worked, and raised his family, and was a cornerstone of the community. He was a well-known dairy farmer, always wanting the best for his herd. He was also talented at carpentry work. His family and farm were his pride and joy. Kyle looked forward to Sunday afternoon drives where he watched the rhododendrons bloom in the spring and the leaves changing color in the fall. He loved watching his crops grow, planting his garden, spending time with family and friends, sharing family history, and eating a good watermelon.

Kyle leaves behind a wonderful legacy in his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He will be greatly missed. Kyle is survived by his loving wife, Ida Mae Lucas Bishop; his son and daughter-in-law, Richard "Dickie" and Ita Bishop; his daughter and son-in-law, Marjorie and Ron Morgan; his sister, Mary Ann Lawrence, of West Jefferson, N.C.; granddaughter, Melissa Anderson and husband, Daryl; granddaughter, Michelle Underwood and husband, Brian; grandson, K.J. Bishop and wife, Annette; granddaughter, Marlo Dean and husband, Jeff; granddaughter, Jenny Altizer and husband, Eric; grandson, Jeremy West and wife, Eliza; granddaughter, Julie Craft and husband, Robert; step granddaughter, Brandy Fizzano and husband, Kevin; step granddaughter, Jamie Morgan; 19 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Newman's Pharmacy, Dr. Michael Payne, and Carilion Clinic Home Health and Hospice. The family also would like to thank Dr. Terrence May for his outstanding medical care and genuine kindness.

The family will receive friends from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 20, 2010, at the Horne Funeral Home. A Funeral Service will be held 1 p.m. on Wednesday, July 21, 2010, at the Horne Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Mark Miller and Pastor Steve Aker officiating. Interment will follow at Roselawn Memorial Gardens, Christiansburg, Va. The Bishop family is being served by Horne Funeral Service.
