I know some of you knew Vic Lauer as he was a big Massey Collector and my neighbor. He passed on last week and I thought I would post his obituary along with the funeral home.
Victor E. "Vic" Lauer, 96, of Mt. Union, died Thursday, February 23, 2017 at the Henry County Health Center, Mt. Pleasant. He was born June 26, 1920 in Mt. Union to Howard and Esther Bird Lauer. He married Alma House at Nashua. She died in 1985. He was a lifelong farmer who enjoyed attending horse sales at Kalona and Farmington, watching sports on television and was on the elections board. He was also a collector of restored Massey-Harris tractors which he showed at Old Threshers.
He was a 1938 graduate of Mt. Union High School and a member of the Mt. Union United Methodist Church.
He is survived by one daughter, Judy (David) Adamson, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, one sister, Maurine Bolick and her son, Joe Bolick.
