Arrangements were entrusted to the Ritchie Funeral Home of Clarinda, Iowa, where we ‘Celebrate Life’. Henry Sawnville Karg was born October 29, 1913, in Pleasant Hill, Cass County, Missouri. He was the fourth of ten children belonging to Robert J. Karg and Blanche Belle (Chappell) Karg. Henry grew up attending country school, and when he was only 13, his father passed away from cancer. In 1931, Henry moved to Fedora, South Dakota when his mother was united in marriage to Clyde Watson. All of the children, except Thelma, moved with them. Clyde lost his farm in the Great Depression. Growing up during the Great Depression caused his family and himself to move around the country where work was available. In the fall of 1933, the family moved to the New Market, Iowa area near the Pratt family home. Henry helped the Pratt family shuck corn, and during the fall harvest of 1933, he met their daughter, Bonnie Pratt. In 1934, he returned to the Pleasant Hill, Missouri area working for a farmer pulling hedge row stumps. In 1935, he returned to the New Market area helping area farmers. He was reunited with Bonnie Pratt and the couple started dating. Henry, his brother Alvin and Bonnie’s cousin Keith Pratt all worked doing various farming in Colorado, Idaho and Washington. They returned to the New Market area and Henry took his mother back to Missouri and while there he went to work in a rock quarry. He wanted to make enough money to purchase an engagement and wedding ring for Bonnie. On January 28, 1939, Henry and Bonnie were united in marriage in Independence, Missouri. They had to keep their marriage a secret so Bonnie could continue to teach school. Bonnie lived with one of the student’s family during the week and Henry lived with his folks. In May of 1939, when school was out for the summer, they finally were able to move into their home near New Market. To this loving union, four children were born, Larry, Linda, Diane and Marilyn. Henry was a farmer his entire life and together he and Bonnie were able to purchase farm ground to add to their operation. In 1975, they purchased a new home in New Market where they retired. In Henry’s free time he enjoyed horse shoe pitching, fishing and attending the New Market Civic Club. He was a member of the New Market United Methodist Church. Left to cherish the memory of Henry are three of his children, Larry Karg of Clarinda, Iowa; Linda Reeve and husband Gary of New Market, Iowa; and Marilyn Foy and husband Alan of Red Oak, Iowa; a sister, Edith DeBord of Creston, Iowa; eight grandchildren, Kimberly Reeve, Annette Clark, Lisa Steeve, Scott Reeve, Shane Selders, Mark Karg, Daryn Selders and Laura Selders; sixteen great-grandchildren, Danielle, Derek, Jessica, Jake, Kayla, Brandon, Sarah, Cody, Colton, Ricky, Logan, Kaylee, Konner, Matthew, Nathan and Alexa; one great-great-grandson, Haydon Meuler; a son-in-law, Daryl Selders; a sister-in-law, Eva Fine of Grimes, Iowa; along with many other family members and friends. Preceding Henry in death are his parents, Robert and Blanche Karg; two step-fathers, Clyde Watson and John Handford; a daughter, Diane Selders in 1984; a daughter-in-law, Myrna Karg; three sisters Juanita Weaver, Thelma Weaver and Lola Belle Hughes; five brothers, Clifford, Alvin, Homer, Robert and Harvey Karg; and three great-grandchildren, David Clark, Chris Clark and Abby Reeve.
