MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Honorable Claire D. Seibert, begs leave to submit the following memorial:

Claire D. Seibert was born March 9, 1911 on a farm near Clearfield, Iowa, the son of Walter and Dora Darlington Seibert. He graduated from Clearfield High School in 1929. On June 10, 1938 he married Lois Swan of Clearfield. To this union were born one daughter, Kathleen, and two sons, Walter J. and William C.

Mr. Seibert moved to St. Charles, Iowa and farmed continuously there, with the exception of seven years spent in Warren County. He owned and operated a 240-acre stock and grain farm in Madison County at the time of his death.

He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, Eastern Star, Lion’s Club and Farm Bureau. He was a member of the St. Charles Methodist Church, having served as chairman of the Official Board and in other capacities. He was a former school board member, on the Madison County Extension Council and the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee.

Mr. Seibert, a Democrat, was serving his first term in the Sixty-first General Assembly House of Representatives from Madison-Adair Counties.

Mr. Seibert was killed December 30, 1965 in an automobile accident that also took the life of his wife, Mrs. Lois Seibert. Surviving are their daughter, Mrs. Dale Beaman, two sons, Walter J. Seibert and William C. Seibert, two grandsons, all of St. Charles, and Mr. Seibert’s mother, Mrs. Dora Seibert of Winterset.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SIXTY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF IOWA: That in the passing of the Honorable Claire D. Seibert, the state has lost an honored citizen and a faithful and useful public servant, and the House by this resolution would express its appreciation of his service, and tender its sympathy to the members of his family.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House and that the Chief Clerk be directed to forward an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
