Emil August Noelck, 96, of Hampton, Iowa, passed away, Tuesday, February 19, 2013, at the Franklin General Hospital Nursing Facility in Hampton, Iowa. 

He was born January 5, 1917, in Arcadia, Iowa, to William and Margaret (Herrmann) Noelck.  Emil attended country schools. 

He was married on March 15, 1941, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Audubon County, Iowa, to Inger Marie Faaborg, and they enjoyed 62 loving years together. 

He farmed in the Kimballton area for many years and then moved his family to the Hampton area in 1960. Emil worked at Farmers Hybrid and Seabee Corporation, but he was always a farmer at heart. 

He was a member of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Hampton, he was also a church board member at the Kimballton Lutheran Church and the St. John's Lutheran Church, and was on the school board for Sharon Township # 8 country school. 

He had a wonderful sense of humor.
