Harold Edward Marth, 84, formerly of Rockford, passed away on Monday, May
27, 2013 at Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Mason City.
A funeral service is at 1 p.m. on Friday, May 31, 2013 at First United
Methodist Church, 21 Third St. NW, Rockford. Reverend Judy Wooton and
Reverend Wendy Johannesen will officiate. Interment will follow at Riverside
Cemetery in Rockford. A visitation will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday,
May 30, at Fullerton Funeral Home, 302 West Main, Rockford. Those planning
an expression of sympathy in memory of Harold may wish to send memorials in
care of Scott Marth, 17062 Yarrow Ave.; Nora Springs, IA 50458.
Harold was born on January 13, 1929, on the family farm east of
Rockford to Henry and Anna (Adolphs) Marth where he lived his entire
life before entering the nursing home in 2011. He graduated from the
Rockford High School where he was active in football, basketball, and
baseball. Harold served in the Army during the Korean War and was honorably
discharged receiving the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
On February 14, 1953, Harold married his high school sweetheart Patricia
(Patty) Hubbard in Rockwell. To this union three children were born. He was
a hard worker raising hogs, cattle and chickens while holding a second job
at White Farm (Oliver) in Charles City for over 20 years as a drill operator
and bullpen inspector to support his family. Accompanying him with farm
chores was his St. Bernard dog.
Harold was a patriotic person and loved his country. Harold also loved
his family very much. He was a neighborly person, always willing to lend
a helping hand. Harold (Dad) was a simple man who told it like it was. You
knew the real story when you talked to him. His heart was honest and loving.
He loved going to visit people but never overstayed his welcome.
He was always there to help anyone in need. There was never a time that
you didn't get the largest bowl of ice cream in the house when you came to
visit. If you were called something other than your real name that meant
you were real special.
He always had a nickname for you, and probably forgot your real one. He
was a great father always wanting the best for his children, always doing
special things like shoveling off the snow from the ice on the creek so his
daughter could ice skate. His enjoyment was driving his tractor building
paths in the beautiful woods. His passion was building the road and the
dam by the creek for all to enjoy. Harold will be remembered by his family
and friends as an appreciative person with a big heart by extending his
gratitude with a "love ya love ya love ya" and a "thank ya thank ya thank
ya."
Harold's family would like to thank the I.O.O.F. Home, Good Shepherd, and
Hospice of North Iowa for all of their love, care, and support given to him.
Those left to cherish his memory include children, Scott (Denise) Marth
of Nora Springs, Pat (Buck) Lambersten of Aredale, and Tamara (Gary)
Schubert of Windermere, Fla.; sister, Janet (Wayne) Rawley of Iowa City;
grandchildren, Jamie (Matt) Grieman of Garner, Jeff (Laura) Marth of
Petaluma, Calif., Cory (Melissa) Lambertsen of Hampton, Kelli (John)

Ellyse, Kinsey, Keston, Riley, Scotty, and Freya, and many nieces, nephews,
special neighbors and friends.

April 17, 2013, in Monterey, California, where he was visiting his son
and daughter-in-law, Thomas and Joanne Hofler. He was 95 years old.
The son of John T. and Ida M. Hofler, John R. Hofler Jr. was born
July 30, 1917, on the family farm seven miles northeast of Nora Springs.
The farm had been purchased by John Jr.'s great-grandfather, Anton Hofler

John T. Hofler Sr. founded the Hofler Seed Company in 1912 and moved
his family to Nora Springs in 1920. John Jr. graduated from Nora Springs
High School in 1935 and later attended St. Louis University's School of
Commerce and Finance. In 1938, he joined the Hofler Seed Company as a
partner with his father.
Inducted in the Army in 1942, John was sent to Camp Roberts in
