LOREN ROEHR DIES
AFTER ILLNESS OF
SEVERAL MONTHS
Loren Roehr, 45, died at his farm home near Rudd last Thursday after an illness of several months. Mr. Roehr became ill the early part of this year, and as his condition did not improve he was taken to Rochester two months ago. An operation there disclosed an incurable condition.
After ten days at the hospital he was taken back to his home where he was given tender care by his family. His pastor, Rev. I.G. Kitzmann, visited him frequently and stated that he made his last call there on the day of his death, at which time he was apparently able to receive the Word spoken to him.
Loren August Herman Roehr was born the son of Alvin G. Roehr and Katherine Roehr, nee Erbe, in West Cedar township, Mitchell county, Iowa, December 10, 1897. He was baptized in the Christian faith as a child by the Reverend Helbing, and was confirmed in St. John's Lutheran church near Osage, on Palm Sunday, march 16, 1913, by the Rev. J. Bertram.
He was nine years of age when his mother died.
He received his schooling in the rural school and the Cedar Valley Seminary. Completing his education he engaged in farming, helping his father, on the home place.
After his marriage he farmed for himself, spending the greater part of his life on farms in east Cedar township, excepting the past two years, during which he operated a farm three miles northeast of Rudd.
On August 24, 1921, he married Irene Tucker. To this union were born four children. Mr. Roehr proved himself a kind husband and father, an energetic worker and a congenial neighbor.
He leaves to mourn his passing, his devoted wife; his sons, Duane, Kenneth and Gary, and a daughter, Audrey; also his step mother, Mrs. Alvin Roehr, all of Osage; his brothers, Leonard of Osage; Clyde of near Lyle, Minnesota; Donald, Waterloo, and Dale of Osage; his sisters, Mrs. Alvin Lohr and Mrs. F. Howell, Rockford, and Mrs. Herman Brandau of Waterloo, as well as many other relatives and friends.
