Loren LaVern Misfeldt was born March 21, 1913, the first son of John R. and Mabel L. Misfeldt. \u00a0According to his younger brother Roland’s notes, Loren “had to leave home when he was 18 because we couldn’t feed him, so he went to work for Gorsegnor’s farm for $5.00 per month and room and board. \u00a0After that, he enlisted in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and made $30.00 per month. \u00a0He was in CCC for seven years and met Tillie when he was near Laona in a camp.”<\/p>\n

Loren married Matilda Sharnek “Tillie” on July 2, 1937. \u00a0He was 24 and she was 21, having been born August 27, 1917.<\/p>\n

Brother Roland recalled: \u00a0“He had a 1929 Ford roadster with a rumble seat. \u00a0I can still remember I wanted a bicycle and the folks couldn’t afford one so Loren bought me a used bike and brought it home with him and I was in 7th heaven. \u00a0He paid $3.00 for it. \u00a0When Bob (Loren’s son) was a little older I bought Bob a pony to repay Loren for the bike.”<\/p>\n

Roland wrote in March 1999 regarding December 7, 1941: \u00a0“Loren & Tillie were running a farm about three miles east of our place.”<\/p>\n

Loren and Tillie had two children:<\/p>\n
