Read More	Carl Emil August Kluver, son of Carl Emil and Emma (Hesse) Kluver, was born on the family farm near Mapleton, Iowa on December 27, 1924. He entered into eternal rest on May 26, 2017 at Elm Heights Care Center in Shenandoah, Iowa at the age of 92 years, 5 months, 29 days. Growing up on the farm in the Mapleton and Charter Oak area, Carl learned the value of hard work. During high school, he worked for his uncles feeding cattle in their feed lot. Before completing his senior year at Charter Oak High School, Carl enlisted in the United States Navy in October of 1943 during World War II. He proudly served on the U.S.S. Richmond - AGG B. He was honorably discharged at the end of the war in 1946. After returning home, Carl met the love of his life, Lois Mae Steinhoff. They were married on October 17, 1947 and enjoyed over 65 years of marriage. To this union three children were born, Charles, Ross and Joan. Working with Safeway, Carl began his career in Denison, Iowa before being transferred to the Shenandoah store where he worked as a meat cutter. He worked for Safeway for 25 years. Carl then bought the Standard tank wagon in Essex. He loved being his own boss and setting his own hours. After retirement, Carl spent more time on the things he enjoyed: golfing, refinishing antiques and caning chairs. He didn’t take up golf until he was 50 years old and ended up with five holes-in-one. Carl was a member of the St. John’s Lutheran Church in Essex, the Essex Volunteer Fire & Rescue, the Plainsmen men’s choir, a charter member of the Page County Landfill, and the Shenandoah American Legion Club and golf course. One of the highlights Carl enjoyed was taking a trip to visit Washington D. C. with the Veterans Honor Flight in 2009.
