Popken, Lulu E Swigard -

Lulu E. Swigard, 79, died Aug. 1, 1974 at her home in Tomkins Cove, New York. She was a native of Sharpsburg, Iowa, and is survived by her husband, Fritz Popken and her sister,

Mrs. Bessie Underwood as well as several nieces and nephews.

The following tribute was read at her funeral services in Sharpsburg on Aug. 10th. It could simply be said that with Lulu's passing another wonderful person has left this earth. Many have counted it their privilege to have known such a talented, kind and most gracious lady. Others have described her as a "pioneer in her field>—a fine professional." To

others she was a good neighbor. She loved her family and cherished the memory of her friends in her home town. To her husband she was 'the complete wife and as someone

has said of them both—"they shared such a unique happiness—far above average and rarely found" and he himself says:, "I do not weep at her passing for she no longer suffers

and tears would only cloud and mar the happy fond memories of my wonderful time with her."

Their first meeting was one of utter chance, neither knew that the other existed but from then on as though a magnet drew them toward each other their path's would cross again.

Then there came a time when she was faced with physical discomfort and he was downcast with emotional distress. They comforted each other and out of this grew a love that lasted— happily for both of them—until she left us all.

Lulu was a teacher first and always. She loved her profession with the total devotion one cherishes but rarely finds. There was a lasting bond of affection between her students and her. And though she was severe and uncompromising in her demands he students loved her and her face would radiate with happiness when surrounded by young eager minds seeking the truth through her.

In her chosen field she always remained the pioneer. She searched for better understanding and, finally although her body was racked with pain she labored hard to write a book

to tell how she had thought and taught.

She was never too busy to lend a helping hand; As fate would have it she was on the first American ship to be torpedoed by the Germans in WW II, and after being rescued she

worked among the sick and injured until they reached the safety of the port. The officers of the ship adored her for the help she had given and presented her with a sterling silver replica of a Viking ship as a token of their appreciation. The ship symbolizes her pioneering spirit, and yet it was given for humanitarian effort. Each of us would

treasure its possession and yet it shall be placed in the church of her home own because it belongs to more than any one of us.

Lulu was a great person and where many know but by the shadows they cast she faced it resolutely and showed us all its beauty as mirrored in her soul. [Buried Conway Cemetery, Taylor Co. Iowa]
