He lived most of his life in this area. During the Great Depression, he moved with his family to Louisiana from 1932 to 1933. Upon returning, he and his family resided in the West Bend area on a farm known as the Goose Lake Farm. Jim's education included finishing the eighth grade. He enlisted in the army at Camp Dodge in February 1943 and served his country as a paratrooper in World War II. He was honorably discharged in 1946. Jim and his wife, Florence (Young) Dahlhauser, the true love of his life, were united in marriage on August 20, 1947 at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in West Bend, IA. They originally became acquainted through letter writing by Florence's mother Amelia, as she had met Jim on a train while he was in the military. Jim and Florence lived and worked together on a farm in Palo Alto County. Jim and his father tilled virgin prairie in 1948 to establish the farm. They moved a house from the Whittemore Plantation site to their farm. This original homestead house, though remodeled over the years, is still on the family farm. In 1986, Jim and Florence retired and moved into Whittemore, where he thoroughly enjoyed feeding the birds and squirrels and gardening. He delighted in looking at the pasture in his backyard, watching the wildlife that roamed there and seeing the train go by. Jim also had a love for fishing and enjoyed fishing trips up North. He moved with his wife Florence to West Bend Prairie Creek Assisted Living in November of 2006 and then to the West Bend Care Center in April of 2009, where he passed away Friday, June 8, 2012 at the age of 90. Jim was a member of St. Michael's Catholic Church. He was active in the Knights of Columbus and Holy Name Society. Jim and Florence worked diligently for several years with the Sioux City Diocese's Coalition to Preserve the Family Farm. He was a member of the Whittemore American Legion, involved in the Palo Alto Farm Bureau and served on the Whittemore Elevator Board. In his retirement years he also drove a delivery truck for that elevator. Jim was known by his family, neighbors and friends as a very kind, meek, loving and patient person and for those caring virtues he will be remembered and cherished in our hearts forever. Survivors include his children: Larry Dahlhauser of Bremerton WA; Bonnie (Teri Lewis) Dahlhauser of St. Paul, MN; Kenneth (Ellen) Dahlhauser of Whittemore; Nancy (Steve) Strand of Round Lake Beach, IL; and Dean (Laurie) Dahlhauser of Whittemore; daughter-in-law Kim Dahlhauser of Whittemore; 18 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren; brothers Peter of West Bend, IA; Art of Hendersonville, TN; Marvin of East Moline, IL; and a sister, Jodie Stewart of Gilbert, AZ; sister-in-law Elizabeth Dahlhauser of Des Moines, IA and many nieces and nephews.
