      From THE GASS-HANEY FUNERAL HOME ARCHIVES-

      Lorenz A. Rodehorst, 75, of Columbus, Nebraska, died Monday, August 06, 2001 at his home north of Columbus .
      Services will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church, Columbus, on Thursday, August 09, 2001 at 10:30 AM with Rev. Timothy White officiating. Interment will be at the Calvary Cemetery in rural Platte County.

      Lorenz A. Rodehorst was born March 24, 1926 in rural Platte County to Alfred and Ida K. (Luchsinger) Rodehorst. He attended rural School District #80 and Kramer High School in Columbus. He farmed with his father on the family farm until entering the service. On June 7, 1945, Lorenz joined the US Army and served 13 months in Italy. He was honorably discharged on February 2, 1947. He returned to the family farm and once again worked the land with his father.

      On February 4, 1951, Lorenz was united in marriage to Lois L. Benning at St. John's Lutheran Church, Shell Creek, rural Platte County. Together they farmed the family farm north of Columbus for more than 50 years raising livestock and grain. He did custom livestock hauling and was devoted to his farm. They received the Farm Family Award in 1988.


      Lorenz was a former member of Platte County Agricultural Society, served on the Platte County Extension Board and 4-H Council and was the Friends of 4-H Award recipient in 1993. He was a member of District #80 and District #10 School Boards for 20 years. Lorenz was also a past president of Farm Bureau and a past member of Pla-Co and Platte Valley Cattleman's Association.

      Lorenz was a long-time supporter of the Lakeview High School FFA, receiving the Honorary FFA Chapter Degree in 1999 and the first Lakeview FFA Foundation Award in 2001. For more than 25 years, Lorenz was a ticket taker for Lakeview games and was a supporter of the FBLA at Lakeview.

      He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Columbus and had served as an usher.



      Lorenz always felt that his family came first and so he devoted many long and loving hours to his wife and children. He enjoyed going to many of his children's and grandchildren's activities.
