OBITUARY

RALPH LESSIG POLLITT

Ralph L. Pollitt was born September 29, 1935 in Amelia, Ohio to C. Morris Pollitt and Pauline Pim Pollitt. Ralph and his family moved to a farm in Lucas County, Iowa in 1939. Ralph graduated from Lucas High School, Lucas, Iowa in 1953.

Ralph joined the United States Navy in January, 1956. He was assigned to the battleship New Jersey and was very proud of that assignment. He was honorably discharged from the Navy in November 1957.

After discharge from the Navy Ralph's life was spent on the family farm in Lucas County, including the farm he grew up on. This farm has been in the family for over one hundred years.
