Read More	Delmar was born February 25, 1919, to Martin and Dorthea Helland, on a farm near McCallsburg, the second-youngest of ten children. He was baptized on April 6, 1919, at Bethany Lutheran Church. He was confirmed on June 4, 1933, at Bethany Lutheran Church. He graduated from McCallsburg High School in 1937, worked as a hired hand for the Martin Caltvedt family in 1940, and attended technical school in Lincoln, Neb., in 1941. He moved to Buffalo, N.Y., and worked at the Curtiss-Wright airplane factory until enlisting in the Air Force in 1942. He spent more than 18 months in Europe in World War II. Delmar met the love of his life, Mildred Ayers of Ohio, Ill., in New York City when they were both in the military service. They married on August 9, 1946, in Roland, Iowa. As Delmar and Mildred prepared to begin raising a family in McCallsburg, Delmar and a friend bought an oil distribution business there in 1948, which they named Helland and Woster Oil Co. They sold it in 1963, and Delmar sought a return to his farming roots. He bought farm outside McCallsburg in 1965, not far from the one on which he grew up, and moved his family there. He farmed until retiring in 1985 when he and Mildred moved back into town. They moved to Story City in 2008. We were all enriched by the stories Delmar told. He loved to fish, and made many fishing trips to Minnesota and Canada. Life was good if you could have fish for supper. Delmar B. Helland of Story City died of emphysema, surrounded by his loving family, Tuesday, October 20, at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames. He was 90. Delmar is survived by Mildred and their children, Ann (Greg) Ruble of Waukee, LoriJo (John) Lounsberry of Story City, and Kurt Helland of Des Moines (girlfriend Jody Horning); and grandchildren, Nathan Ruble and his wife Holly, and Brian, Kevin and Lynn Lounsberry. He was preceded in death by his parents; and all of his brothers and sisters; an infant daughter in 1948; and an infant grandson (son of John and LoriJo) in 1986. Both infants are buried nearby in this cemetery. Visitation was from 5:30 to 7:30 Friday at Bethany Lutheran Church in McCallsburg. The funeral service was at 2 p.m. Saturday at Bethany Lutheran. Memorial contributions were made to Bethany Lutheran Church or the McCallsburg American Legion.
