LOUIE P. H. JAHN
Louie, son of Carsten Herman and Alfrieda (Schroeder) Jahn, was born November 9, 1910, in Hayes Township, Crawford County, Iowa. He attended country schools near his home and started farming as a young man. On September 25, 1930, Louie was united in marriage with Alma Wilhelm at Shenandoah, Iowa. They farmed around Manning and Manilla. Alma died in 1975.

On April 10, 1976, Louie was united in marriage with Alice Wilhelm Kuhl in Denver, Colorado.

They continued to farm and in 1978 retired and moved into Manning. Throughout his farming years Louie raised and sold Duroc hogs. In 1981 Louie and Alice moved to Lake View, Iowa.

Louie was a member of the Lutheran Church and during his years in Hayes Township he was a member of the Schutzen Verein where he was in charge of arranging for the music at the Five Mile House. For many years he also served as Director of Hayes Township No. 9 School.

Louie had been in failing health for many years before his death on Thursday, October 16, 1986 at the Stewart Memorial Community Hospital in Lake City at the age of 75 years, 13 months, and 7 days.

A Memorial Tribute
The sun is always brightest
Just after days of rain,
When winter's through,
the sweetest of
Songbirds sing again.
When roads are hard,
there's beauty
In view around the bend.
In need,
we learn to treasure
The priceless name of
FRIEND!

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS"
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest
and best For a world of lost sinners was slain.
2. Oh, that old rugged cross so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, To bear it to dark Calvary.
3. In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see; For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To pardon and sanctify me.
4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, Where His glory forever I'll share.
Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, ...
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
