 Gerald “Jerry” Dale Lindeman, age 88, of Manhattan, Kansas, died Tuesday May 3, 2022 at the Good Shepherd Hospice House in Manhattan.

He was born on February 24, 1934 in Satanta, Kansas, the son of Walter and Helen (Jacobs) Lindeman. Jerry attended schools in Sublette and graduated from Sublette High School with the class of 1952. He then attended Kansas State University and earned his Bachelors Degree in Business.

After college Jerry entered the U.S. Army. He served during the Korean Conflict from 1956-1958. He returned home after the army to work on the family farm. He went to work for Farm Bureau and worked for many years as an insurance adjuster and agent. Jerry worked in Great Bend, Garden City, Sublette and Cimarron.
