Holdsworth December 17, 1923 - July 20, 2018 Vernon Holdsworth, son of Raymond and Elsie (Wiese) Holdsworth, was born on December 17, 1923 in Carroll, Iowa. He was baptized at the Presbyterian Church in Carroll on July 3, 1927 and confirmed into the Lutheran faith at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Irwin on December 15, 1945. He attended school in Manilla until 6th grade when he started to help his dad with farming. In March of 1944 he joined the United States Army, serving during WWII and returning home with a medical discharge in October of 1945. After his discharge, Vernon worked as an auto mechanic for five years, farmed for Christoffersen for five years and then started farming on his own. On September 4, 1946 Vernon was united in marriage to Della Sheer at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Audubon, Iowa. To this union, eight children were born: Linda, Don, Connie, Tom, Colleen, Becky, Carol and Kenneth. Vernon, Della and their children did a lot of traveling throughout the years. They farmed for about twenty-five years near Irwin and Manilla. Vernon drove a school bus for the Irwin School and worked for Robinson Implement in Irwin. They moved to Perry, Iowa where they owned and operated the D&D Motel. Vernon also drove truck for Rosene Implement for nine years. When they moved to Boone, Iowa Vernon drove the Boone County Transportation Bus for pre-school and did maintenance work at the senior citizen apartments. Their final destination was Harlan, Iowa where Vernon drove a bus for handicapped children for four years and was the courier for the United Bank of Iowa before his retirement on October 20, 2012. Vernon always enjoyed going fishing, listening to polka music, new or old cars (especially old cars) but most of all, he loved spending time with his family.
