Danny (Boone) Maus, 60, Schell City, passed away peacefully Monday, April 12, 2010, at Freeman West Hospital in Joplin, after struggling with health problems since 1993. Danny was born Aug. 8, 1949, in Centerville, IA, the son of Claude David and Mary Ellen (Davis) Maus.

He graduated from Schell City High School in 1967 and spent most of his life in the Schell City area. He retired from Teamsters Local 541 in Kansas City in 1993, due to health problems. Danny loved his work and missed it terribly since his retirement.
Danny loved to hunt and fish until his health slowed him down but he spent his last 10 years on his “little piece of heaven” in rural Schell City, enjoying all of the wildlife at his back door, with family and friends. He was a dedicated Democrat and wasn’t afraid to let you know it. He was a great husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be fondly remembered and truly missed.
