HUELSMAN, EUGENE CHARLESDied June 29, 2100
Published in Denison Bulletin/Review from July 7 to August 7, 2011
Eugene Charles Huelsman of Charter Oak, Iowa, passed away on Wednesday, June 29,
2011, at Eventide Lutheran Home in Denison, Iowa, at the age of 91. He is
survived by his three daughters: Natalie, Susan, Nancy; and his six
grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and his sister, Velma. Gene was
preceded in death by his loving wife, Irene; his parents, Henry and Alma; and

He served in the Army Air Corp from 1943 - 1946 during WWII; was on the Charter
Oak-Ute Community School Board from 1952 - 1964; and worked for Iowa Public
Service Electric Company until his retirement.
Gene will be remembered by some as "the popcorn machine man." A popcorn machine
was built in an enclosed trailer and he and his dad and children would sell
popcorn (5¢ a sack and 10¢ a box) every Wednesday and Saturday "town nights" in
Charter Oak. He and his dad also ran a concession stand at Charter Oak ball
games.
He touched many lives with his kindness, willing to help anyone in need, and
always had a good joke to tell. He was a wonderful father and a great friend to
many, many people.
His wishes were that no formal services take place. Gene requested that any
donations be made to St. John's Lutheran Church of Charter Oak, and be put
towards the new building addition fund in his memory.
Gene touched us all and will always be with us in our hearts. His family would
like to thank friends and the community who were so supportive with kindness and
prayers.
A private family memorial service was held Tuesday, July 5, 2011, at 5 P.M., at
St. John Lutheran Church in Charter Oak. Rev. Richard Merrill officiated the
service and graveside rites held at St. John Lutheran Cemetery in Charter Oak.

On January 16, 1938, Nellie was united in marriage to Harold Ickes at the

Marilyn. Harold and Nellie lived in Harlan and farmed in Astor, Kirkman, Irwin,
and the Harlan area until 1954 when they moved to Irwin where Harold opened a
pool hall.
Nellie was deeply committed to her faith. She was a lifetime member of St.
Paul's Lutheran Church and was active in the women's organizations where she
held many offices. She served on the church council and taught Sunday School and
bible school for over thirty years. She also started the Junior Lutheran's
group. She was employed as the custodian for the church and did other cleaning
jobs around Irwin for thirty-five years.
Nellie enjoyed embroidering and making quilts. She loved spending time with

JACOBSEN, ROBERT E.Died April 15, 2100
Published in Des Moines Register from April 17 to April 19, 2011
Robert E. "Cobb" Jacobsen
West Des Moines
Robert E. "Cobb" Jacobsen died on Friday, April 15, 2011 in Des Moines, Iowa.
His children and wife of 59 years, Arlene, were at his bedside. Robert was born
in 1927 to parents Nels and Lillian in Harlan, Iowa. Simply known as "Cobb" to
many friends and acquaintances-the nickname coined by his buddies during his
teenage years-stuck with him during his more than 50 years of residence in the
Harlan community.
Prior to graduating from Harlan High School in 1947, Robert entered the Army.
Intensely patriotic; though never called to active duty, he was extremely
honored to wear a uniform representing his country and was a proud Vet.
Robert had two primary careers during his life. He delivered mail for the U.S.
Postal Service for 33 years to rural Harlan, and rarely missed a delivery during
that time. The motto "…through rain, sleet and snow…" wasn't just a slogan but a
mission. But his real passion was as an entrepreneur. He enjoyed serving up
ice-cream, hamburgers and assorted other goodies to thousands of guests and
loyal customers as the owner of the Dairy Sweet Drive-In from 1969-79.
Civic duty and athletics were a big part of Robert's life, too. He served in a
number of civic organizations in Harlan, including the Veterans' Memorial
Building, Lions Club, American Legion, and the Harlan Golf and Country Club. He
loved to participate in sports as a young man. As he got older, he stayed
invested in sports by serving as baseball umpire and basketball referee for many
years. He was also an avid fan of his children's and grandchildren's athletic
endeavors, attending as many games as possible.
After retiring from the post office in 1980, there were brief stays in Colorado
and Arizona before retiring fully in West Des Moines in 1986. He worked many
years as a starter at Des Moines Golf and Country Club, but mainly spent his
retirement years enjoying his children, grandchildren, and his friends at
Hy-Vee.
Robert is survived by his wife, Arlene and their four children, Roger (Janet)
and Annette (Rick) Krause of West Des Moines, Rob (Jill) of Decatur, IL, and
Andy (Janet) of Cedar Rapids, IA; his sister, Dolores Wiley of Norfolk, NE; ten
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
He leaves an incredible legacy highlighted by his tremendous loyalty as a
husband and father, strong convictions and amazing work ethic. His unique sense
of humor and feistiness will be sorely missed.
A Celebration of Life will take place from 2 to 5 p.m., at Brooks Funeral Care,
7975 University Boulevard, Clive, Iowa on Thursday, April 21 with a time of
remembrance service at 3 p.m. Inurnment will take place at the Iowa Veteran's
Cemetery with full military honors in Van Meter, Iowa.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial on Robert's behalf to the Hospice
of Central Iowa.

School with the class of 1983. During high school, Rick was a member of the
wrestling and golf teams. Rick also worked at his father's monument company all

1985. After graduating, Rick worked in Iowa City, Iowa for a short time at
Johnson Ford, then moved to Council Bluffs where he worked at Johnnies

the Monument Industries Design School in Barre, Vermont where he studied
advanced monument design and graduated in 1989.

the remodeling of St. Michael's, Rick was instrumental in the construction of
the granite baptismal fountain. In addition to St. Michael's, Rick was a member
of the Iowa Monument Builders Association and the Monument Builders of North
America.
Rick's family and friends were the most important things in his life. He was
always doing favors for them. If you needed him for something, he came when he
was called. He enjoyed his work, nature and especially fishing. He remodeled
much of his own home, built his own double car garage and enjoyed creating
monuments of beauty and distinction. He believed in the "measure five times, cut
once" philosophy. Rick was recently united with his daughter, Hollie Jacobsen.

Services set for Iowa soldier
By Juan Perez Jr.
WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER
Funeral services for Staff Sgt. James Justice, an Iowa soldier killed in action
last month in Afghanistan, will begin this week.
The Iowa National Guard announced Sunday that a visitation will be held at the
IKM-Manning Middle School gymnasium in Manilla, Iowa, on Tuesday from 4 p.m. to
8 p.m. A funeral service will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the IKM-Manning
High School gymnasium in neighboring Manning, Iowa.
Justice, 32, died after insurgents shot him during a rescue operation to
retrieve a downed helicopter crew in a remote part of northeastern Afghanistan's
Kapisa province.
Justice and several other members of the Iowa National Guard's 1-113th Cavalry
Squadron, Alpha Troop, were part of a quick-reaction force scrambled from Bagram
Air Field the morning of April 23 to help rescue the two-man crew. Officials
said the reaction force's Black Hawk helicopter came under small-arms fire the
moment it set down near the crash scene.
Justice was killed as the soldiers cleared the landing zone, officials said.
Wounded in the attack was Spc. Zachary Durham, 21, of Des Moines. He was being
treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., officials said.
Coalition forces have seen a sharp increase in enemy contact as Afghanistan's
harsh winter continues to fade into spring's fighting season. Midlands troops
have not been immune.
Since April 11, three members of the Iowa National Guard have been killed in
action. Seven others have been wounded.
Justice will be buried at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery in
Virginia, the Guard said.

James Alan, son of Larry and Lillian (Gunnlaugsson) Justice, was born June 30,
1978 in Manning, Carroll County, IA. He lived with his family in Manilla. James
was baptized on August 17, 1978 at Zion Lutheran Church in Manning with Larry
and Jeanie Young serving as sponsors. Later he was confirmed at Trinity Lutheran
Church in Manilla. James attended school in Manilla and while in high school
enjoyed participating in football, baseball and track. In 1997 James graduated
from Irwin-Kirkman-Manilla High School. He enlisted as an Infantryman in Company
C, 1st Battalion, 168th Infantry, Iowa Army National Guard in September 1998 at
Denison and completed Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training at Ft.
Benning, GA in May 1999. James deployed to Operation Desert Spring (Kuwait) in
2001, the Multinational Force Observer peacekeeping mission (Sinai Peninsula,
Egypt) in 2003-2004, and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005-2006. He came from a
proud family of patriots. A distant relative has documented that seven of James'
ancestors fought in the War of 1812 and eight fought in the Civil War, as well
as many in other conflicts.
On April 17, 2009 James was united in marriage with Amanda Jo Sand at St. Peter
Lutheran Church in Grimes. They made their home in Grimes and were the parents
of one daughter. Prior to his mobilization to Afghanistan, he was employed
full-time by the Iowa National Guard at Camp Dodge, Johnston. When not working
with the Guard, he loved to spend time with his daughter and his dog Kinnick. He
could often be found tinkering around the house and cooking for his family.
James was an avid Iowa Hawkeye and Minnesota Vikings football fan. In his spare
time, he liked to golf and hang-out with his friends, as well as work on
tractors with his dad. James was a member of St. Peter Lutheran Church in Grimes
and a lifetime member of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3517 in Manning.
James volunteered for duty in Afghanistan in early 2011 to be with his unit
because he loved his country and felt that is where he should be. After
completing a routine security patrol at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, word
was received of a downed OH-58 Kiowa helicopter in the neighboring Kapisa
province north east of Kabul. James and some of his fellow soldiers from the
Iowa Army National Guard's Alpha Troop 1st Squadron 113th Cavalry boarded a UH
60 Black Hawk helicopter to rescue the two man crew of the downed helicopter.
After their craft landed the group came under small arms fire. James was killed
at the site on Saturday, April 23, 2011. He was 32 years, 9 months and 24 days
of age. James was escorted home to Iowa from Dover AFB by OC Alan Schmeckpepper.
James is preceded in death by his grandparents Kenneth and Katherine Justice and
Maynard and Nora Gunnlaugsson, brother-in-law Lyle Christensen, and aunt Alta
and her husband Merlin Nulle.
He is survived by his wife Amanda Justice and three-year-old daughter Caydence

Pauline Teresa Sasse Mueller, daughter of Rosellen (Hanton) Sasse and Fred Sasse,
was born April 3, 1925 in Griswold, Iowa. Pauline attended school in Griswold
and graduated from Griswold High School in 1946 where she especially enjoyed
band and music activities. Following graduation, Pauline worked at the Griswold
State Bank until she married her high school sweetheart, Kenneth Mueller on
January 1, 1948 in Red Oak, Iowa.
Pauline and Ken began their life together in Davenport, Iowa where he was a
student at Palmer Chiropractic College. They moved to Harlan in 1949 when Ken
graduated and opened his own chiropractic office. Pauline was a major support in
the establishment and growth of this practice. She was also actively involved in
Ken's local, state and national political activities, particularly during the
years he served as Harlan's mayor.
Pauline was an active member of St. Michael's Catholic Church in Harlan. She was
involved in many church ministries including assisting with funeral dinners. She
was especially honored to be invited to become one of the first Eucharistic
Ministers in the Des Moines Catholic Diocese.
For more than thirty years she served as volunteer coordinator for Harlan's
Mobile Meals. She also worked at the blood bank and with the Myrtue Medical
Center Auxiliary. In 1976, she was named the Harlan Chamber of Commerce Woman of
the Year. In 2008, Shelby County Mother's Association selected her as the Shelby
County Mother of the Year.
Pauline's most cherished accomplishment was her family. She was extremely proud
of her five children, eight grandchildren and her new great-grandson, all who
affectionately call her "Polly." She loved phoning and emailing her kids to keep
track of all their activities.
Pauline was reborn to eternal life May 27, 2011 at the Israel Family Hospice
House in Ames, Iowa after a three-year battle with breast cancer having attained
the age of eighty-six years, one month and twenty-four days. In addition to her
