Glenn Alfred, son of Alfred and Floy (Heater) Betts, was born May 25, 1923 near Coon Rapids in Carroll County, Iowa. He attended Coon Rapids school until moving to Bayard where he graduated from Bayard High School in 1942.

On December 8, 1948 Glenn was united in marriage with Lorene Johnston at Coon Rapids. Two children, Duane and Mary, were born to this union. Following their marriage they began farming south of Coon Rapids and moved to a farm north of town in the early 1960’s. Glenn continued farming after moving into the family’s new home in town in 1974. While farming he was very active in the National Farmers Organization, serving as secretary for many years. He retired in 1999, but he remained loyal to the farming cause, passionately believing that treating farmers fairly is the key to a thriving economy. A highlight of every weekday for many years was Congregate Meals, where Glenn enjoyed eating with friends and helping with the books. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Coon Rapids.
Glenn was devoted to his grandchildren, following all of their activities and lives with interest and pride. He loved CR-B sports – football, girls’ and boys’ basketball, and baseball provided him much enjoyment during his last few years.

Louis Meis, 1882 Obituary

ddr8439 — 8 Sep 2008 12:06:35 GMT

I translated the following obituary from Der Carroll Demokrat, a German-language newspaper published in Carroll, Iowa, between about 1874 and 1920. It was originally published on Friday, 21 Apr 1882. Any information in brackets or notes at the end are my own explanations. It reads as follows:

Louis Meis, the popular shop assistant, in McCune’s Shoe and Boot Shop, suddenly became so ill on Saturday that his recovery was in doubt. The illness is encephalitis. On Sunday morning came the report that he was already deceased, but indeed it was not true. As we write this, he is still in a dangerous condition. His father was informed by telegraph in Dyersville, Dubuque County, and he immediately rushed to his son’s sickbed, where he is now. Louis Meis is a very upright young man, well-liked by all, and everyone who knows him wishes him a speedy recovery.

LATER UPDATE: Louis Meis is no longer among the living. He died peacefully on Wednesday evening at 10 minutes before 7:00. Around his deathbed were his grieving father, his relatives, and close friends. The bystanders were deeply affected when he breathed his final sigh, and indeed hardly an eye remained dry because Louis was well-liked by everyone who had contact with him. The funeral service took place Thursday morning at 10:00 in the Catholic church because he was a devout son of his church. The fire department, of which he was a member, marched at 12:00, along with the Schuetzenverein [German Rifle Club], to the beat of a funeral march played by the Carroll Music Corps, going to the church, from whence the body was brought to the train station, since it was to be transported to Dyersville, Dubuque County. The funeral procession was arranged as follows: At the front was the music, then came the children of the Catholic school. Behind these followed the hearse wagon accompanied by eight firemen. The remaining firemen marched behind the wagon. After the firemen came the riflemen, and behind these followed the remaining mourners. The extent to which everyone mourned the untimely death of the vigorous young man could be seen by the size of the crowd that gathered to pay him their final respects. As the coffin was placed in the express wagon, the Music Corps again played a funeral march, and everyone removed their hats or caps to show their respect. Carroll has not seen a more solemn funeral. As the train departed, everyone, in deepest sympathy, shook hands with the grieving father. The deceased was 22 years old and insured by the Roman Catholic Mutual Aid Society, which paid the sum of $958 to his relatives.

On Thursday morning, John Brincks from Pleasant Valley Township was driving to town with his father-in-law Michael Wurzer. Arriving south of the mill, they found the crossing of the railroad tracks blocked by a train and halted some distance back. When the train was separated in order to make a passage for both sides of the track, John Brincks wanted to pass through as quickly as possible, but met with another team coming through from the north side. At the same time, the railcars began to move backwards, and because there was not enough room for both teams to pass each other, John Brincks drove his horses backwards. But they were frightened by the moving railcars and bolted. Wurzer jumped from the wagon, and only Brincks was knocked out of the wagon, breaking his right anklebone. The injured man was brought to Keckevoet’s store and Dr. Emeis was called, who took him into his care and set the bone. It was a serious break, and the patient suffered much pain. After the event, some not very flattering remarks were made against the railroad company, and some of the bystanders stated that such a large corporation cares no more for the life of a person than for the life of a fly. It was also said that the railroad company should be compelled to station a flagman at every crossing in this town, so that everyone wishing to cross will know the time when it may be done safely. That indeed could not hurt, as we have often wondered that more accidents do not occur when teams are wanting to cross the tracks.

Raymond Joseph, son of John and Anna (Scherbring) Glass, was born on April 16, 1915, on the family farm southwest of Carroll, Iowa. He attended St. Augustine’s school in Halbur. In 1929 the family moved to the Odebolt area and he attended St. Martin’s school. Ray then worked on the farm with his father.

In 1943 Ray was drafted into the United States Army. He served as a Combat Engineer in Africa, England, France, Luxemburg, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Ray was involved in five major WWII battles, including the Battle of the Bulge and the Normandy invasion, and was awarded five bronze stars and a silver battle star. Ray was honorably discharged in November 1945 and went back to work farming with his father. He moved to a farm west of Carroll in 1948, and it is on this farm that he would raise row crops and livestock for the rest of his life.

Ray was united in marriage with Zeta Ann Derner on November 25, 1950 at St. Bernard Church in Breda. After his retirement from active farming in 1993 and the death of his wife in 1998, he continued to live on the farm with the help of his eldest son, Neil. Ray was a member of St. John Catholic Church in Arcadia, an honorary life member of Knights of Columbus in Carroll and member of the American Legion Ehlers-Gerken Post 694. He was a board member of the Farmers Cooperative Elevator in Arcadia for fifteen years, serving as vice-president for seven years. Ray traveled to many 486th Engineer reunions with his friends from the Army. He was an avid baseball fan and told many stories about playing against major leaguers while in the Army. Welding was a skill that Ray made use of on the farm, and he custom built many implements. He also enjoyed working on engines and playing the guitar in his younger years.

On Saturday morning August 9, 2008, Ray died suddenly and unexpectedly at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Carroll, Iowa. He was 93 years, 3 months and 24 days old.

Preceding him in death are his parents; wife Zeta Glass; infant sons Joseph and Gerard Glass; grandson Matthew David Anderson-Glass; brother Robert Glass and brother-in-law Maurice Hacker.
