The couple farmed in the Wittemberg and the Oak Ridge neighborhoods near Newton until 1927, when they moved to Marshalltown. Mr. Langmaid’s death occurred there June 18, 1928.
Mrs. Langmaid was a member of the Wittemberg Congregational church and The Newton Daily News’ Three Quarter Century club. She is a former member of the Wittemberg Grange.
