OTTO F. LANGE

MR. PRESIDENT: Your committee appointed to prepare a suitable memorial commemorating the life and service of Otto F. Lange of Dubuque, Iowa, submits the following brief memorial:

Otto F. Lange, son of Robert W. and Ottilie Lange, was born in Dubuque county, February 16, 1869, where he resided until the time of his death.

Mr. Lange began as a commercial traveler at the age of eighteen, and he followed that occupation until 1907, at which time he became general agent for the Royal Union Life Insurance Company at Dubuque. He was married to Lyde Brendel of Galena, Illinois, August 29, 1892. Three children, Harvey, Philo, and Neva, were born to this union.

Senator Lange was elected to the Iowa State Senate from Dubuque county in 1926. He served in the Forty-second General Assembly and in the Special Session of said assembly, and in the Forty-third General Assembly. He is remembered by those who served with him as a conscientious, dependable and outstanding member of the Senate. His duties as a citizen and statesman were always well and ably carried out. In the passing of Otto F. Lange, the state lost a valuable and honored citizen, a man of strong character, and the Senate of Iowa by this memorial extends its sympathy to his wife and immediate family.

The committee directs that a copy of this memorial be spread on the Journal of the Senate, and that the Secretary be directed to send an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.

H. C. BALDWIN,

D. W. KIMBERLY,

M. X. GESKE,

Committee.

The resolution was unanimously adopted.
