Bill & Evie Shriver

Bill and Evie started acquiring land in Butler County in the 1980s, including family land from Bill’s childhood in Augusta, Kan. After Bill’s retirement as president from ConocoPhillips in 1993, he and Evie moved back to Butler County and established an Angus cowherd. They ran their cow operation for 20 years before selling out and officially retiring. The Shriver Family Presidential Gold Scholarship assists Butler County graduates in the areas of Agriculture, Nursing, and Pre-Engineering.
