- Obituary of Ruth Lassahn
Ruth Lassahn was born January 21, 1920, on a farm in Liberty township,
Hancock county, the youngest of eight children born to her parents, John
Heginger and Fannie Kratchmer.
The family moved to Klemme in 1925, and Ruth completed her education in
the Klemme schools. She attended religious instruction and became a member
of the Klemme Methodist church by confirmation.
On October 2, 1946, Ruth Heginger and Harold Lasahn were married at Forest
City, Iowa. This union was blessed with two daughters.
They commenced housekeeping on the Mrs. C. A. Arnold farm, and for the
last two years resided on the A. M. Resendahl farm north of Garner.
Ruth had a sweet disposition and was kind and helpful to everyone around
her.
A year or more ago, Ruth had a sick spell and spent some weeks at the Iowa
City hospital and suddenly became well. Just recently she again spent
several weeks in the hospital with the same high fever. The doctors could
not locate the trouble, and she died Thursday evening, September 10, 1953.
She reached the age of 33 years, seven months, and 20 days, and leaves to
mourn her passing: her husband, Harold Lassahn; two daughters, Lavohn Kay,
5 and Larinda Sue, 2. Six sisters: Mollie, Mrs. Lee Price, Mason City;
Martha, Mrs. Will Tiggeman, Klemme; Anna, Mrs. John Pannhoff, Klemme;
Fannie, Mrs. Jake Blumer, Garner; Doris, Mrs. Edwin Medaus, Klemme;
Cecelia, Mrs. Taas Harms, Belmond; one brother, Carl Heginger, Klemme; and
