Lenox Time Table, Lenox, Iowa Wednesday October 5, 1988
Funeral services for Alfred Amil (Lefty) Adolphsen were held Friday, Sept. 30, 1988 at Coen-Beaty Funeral Home in Lenox with Rev. Paul Grandon officiating. Interment was at North Fairview Cemetery, Lenox, Ia.
Alfred Amil (Lefty) Adolphsen was born near Summit, S.D., the third son of immigrant parents Lorenz and Caroline (Schulke) Adolphsen on June 10, 1909. He died at his home on Sept. 27, 1988 at the age of 79 years, two months and 27 days.
Lefty attended school in the Columbus, Ks. area through the eighth grade.
Lefty was joined in marriage to Doris Swank on April 20, 1933 in Creston, Ia. Lefty and Doris farmed near Shannon City for three years. They moved to their farm south of Lenox, where they farmed until 1962. In 1962 the Adolphsens moved to their present home in Lenox.
Lefty loved the out-of-doors and worked hard on his farm. He enjoyed the out-of-doors so much that he even spent much of his recreational time hunting and fishing and being outside. He was very instrumental in the development of Wilson Lake to the south of Lenox for the enjoyment of all. Lefty was an active member of the American Trap Shooting Association. He was a strong believer in soil conservation. Lefty had a keen interest in history. He owned a peace pipe the Indians had given his grandfather, a sword from the Spanish-American war, a powder horn and a very old musket.
Lefty always enjoyed people. He was a Lenox booster. He was instrumental in the formation of the Lenox Airport and the Lenox Trap Club. His word was legion and his friends were numbered by his acquaintances.
Lefty was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers, Albert and Elvin, a sister Lena Coons, an infant sister and three nephews.
Lefty is survived by five sisters, Mrs. Clara Stauffer of Columbus, Ks.; Mrs. Eda Hansen of Arispe, Ia.; Mrs. Mina Boland of Petosky, Mi.; Mrs. Elsie Bruce of Sterling, Co.; Mrs. Lucille Pearson of Rockford, Il. Also surviving are many nieces and nephews and a multitude of friends from near and afar.
All who knew Lefty are saddened by his death and will miss him very much.
