Read More	Leroy Wiebers was born December 16, 1910, the son of August and Clara Dierenfeld Wiebers. He died Tuesday, November 17, 2009, at St. Anthony Nursing Home in Carroll, Iowa, at the age of ninety-eight. Lee was born in Jackson Township, five miles north of Westside, Iowa. He was baptized in Christ and confirmed at St. John Evangelical and Reformed Church, now the United Church of Christ, in Westside. He received his education in the Westside Community High School, graduating with the class of 1928. On June 6, 1933, he was united in marriage to Margaret Bornhoft at St. John Evangelical and Reformed Church in Mapleton, Iowa, by Rev. William Krummel. The couple settled in Westside and were blessed with the birth of two children. When he began farming, he started with horses and handpicked corn and went to 4-wheel drive tractors and a 12-row corn head, from 50 bushels of corn to 200 bushels. The couple lived off the land with chickens, hogs, milk cows, beef cattle to getting everything at the grocery store. He managed the E.A. Milligan Lumberyard in the 30s until they moved to the farm in 1942. On June 6, 2003, Leroy and Margaret celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. He served 10 years on the Westside Volunteer Fire Department and 12 years on the church board. He was past Master of the Masonic Lodge and a 75+ year member in good standing of Diamond Lodge of Vail, Iowa. His accomplishments in the community and church were not spectacular, glamorous or outstanding sort of "middle-of-the-road," conservative and "steady Eddie" type. However, he lived through World War I, the roaring twenties, the depression of the thirties, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, a man on the moon, the end of the Communistic rule, and now the exploration of the universe! Who could ask for anything more? He never lost sight of his love and devotion to God, the land, the miracles of nature, and his family. He believed wholeheartedly in the wonders of nature every sunrise and every sunset was a miracle. He believed every fact and promise in the Bible without equivocation, and hardly a day passed by without a little talk with the Lord! Lee was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Margaret; two brothers, Earl and Clarence; two sisters, Mable and Melba; and one daughter-in-law, Karen. He is survived by his son, Robert; his daughter, Kay, and Judd; two grandchildren: Gregory and his wife, Rhonda; and Ryan and his wife, Sue; four great-grandchildren: Lewis, Kendra, Breana and Shelby; other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m., Friday, November 20, 2009, at United Church of Westside in Westside, Iowa. Pastor Richard Francis officiated the service and graveside rites at Westside Cemetery in Westside.
