Obituary

The sudden and unexpected departure of Mrs. Irving Haupt, nee Edith Haupt, is sincerely
regretted and sorrowfully mourned by her family, loved ones and friends.

Mrs. Haupt or Edith as she was affectionately known was the daughter of Mr. Fred Haupt and
Henrietta nee Priebe Haupt. She was born on November 16, 1902. As an infant she was received
into the Christian Church through the sacrament of Holy Baptism administered by the Rev. A.
Muehlmeier, Pastor of Immanuel Reformed Church of Klemme.

As a youth Mrs. Haupt attended the public schools of Klemme and later graduated from the
Garner High School. She received advanced education and preparation as a teacher by
attending the summer sessions of Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls.

She was received into the fellowship of the church through the rite of Christian
Confirmation by the Rev. William Thiel, at Immanuel Church of Klemme. She was confirmed on
Good Friday, April 6, 1917.

On August 2, 1931, Miss Edith Haupt was united in Holy Marriage with Mr. Irving Haupt by the
Rev. Mr. Kriete of Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. Haupt made their home on a farm south
of Kanawha where they lived for a period of ten years and more recently have made their home

Mrs. Haupt had many and varied interests. She had an unusual interest in Bible History. This
was manifest in the form of a Biblical History scrapbook. She was also a lover of beautiful
flowers and poetry. She demonstrated an unselfish concern and regard for the aged and needy.
Mrs. Haupt suffered a stroke and was called to her eternal home on Friday, January 8, at
