taught country

Calvin Jurgens

Memorial Fund.
Calvin Jurgens
was born April
29, 1923, at the
family farm near
Chapin; a son of
Toby and
Ernstena
(Koenen)
Jurgens. Calvin
David Jurgens
was baptized at
Zion Reformed
Church, rural
Sheffield, and
later professed
his faith at the
same church.
Calvin attended
country school
and liked to say
he was the
smartest kid in
his class (he
was the only one
in his class).
After the eighth
grade, Calvin
started farming
with his father
and brothers.
Jan. 30, 1945,
was a special
day for Calvin,
for that was the
day he was
united in
marriage with
Dorothy Grace
Rave in Little
Rock, Iowa. They
made their home
near Chapin,
later moving to
farms near
Latimer and
Sheffield. In
1965, they
purchased a farm
near Thornton
where he farmed
the rest of his
life.
Calvin was a
lifetime member
of Zion Reformed
Church where he
served several
terms as deacon
and elder.
Calvin and
Dorothy took
their family on
several
memorable trips
to both coasts
and Hawaii. His
joy, however,
was farming,
especially
farrowing pigs.
He enjoyed yard
work and keeping
the equipment
clean and ready
to go. He loved
music and would
play the piano
and mandolin by
ear. Family was
the main source
of joy for him
and he truly
loved his wife
of 60 years and
his children,
grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren.
Left to cherish
his memory are
his wife,
Dorothy;
children,
Evanette
(Darwin) Broek,
