It is with a sad heart that we announce the death of our Dear Aunt Lura May Arenz. May died December 9, 2009 at the age of 101 in Long Beach, California.
May was born February 19, 1908 to Charles and Philura Fong near Waterloo, Iowa, where she lived until moving to Chilton, Wisconsin at the age of eleven. She lived and worked on a farm in Chilton and attended Chilton High School, where she graduated in 1928.
