Wyatt Koinzan, Lynae Koinzan, Lucille Koinzan, Cashten Kester and Alec KesterFamily, faith, friendship, fortitude.... Wyatt Koinzan, Lynae Koinzan, Lucille Koinzan, Cashten Kester and Alec KesterFamily, faith, friendship, fortitude. Combine all of those things and mix in some good, solid hard work, and you have the Kester family of Clearwater, NE. They define all these traits, and Nebraska itself.
Lucille and Harold Kester started their life together over 70 years ago. Neither suspected the history they would create.
Their family tree reads like a chapter of Genesis. Together they raised 11 children, who then raised 45 grandchildren, who are now raising over 105 great grandchildren, and counting.
Brothers farm together. Cousins and uncles share birthdays.
In the town of Clearwater, NE - where the Kesters are from - various members of the family contribute to different parts of town life.?
