The following are transcriptions supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of two obituaries for Lester Adolph Sexauer. Gretchen Leenerts did not report exactly when and where these obituaries were published.

Pfc. Lester Adolph Sexauer was born 1 June 1908 in Canada, and passed on to the eternal world 27 October 1945 at Ft. Ord, California, at the age of 37 years, 4 months and 27 days. Although born in Canada, Adolph spent most of his life in the Ankeny community. He was graduated from the Ankeny High School in 1928. Adolph was a member of the Ankeny Methodist Church until 1939 when he was baptized into the Forest Avenue Baptist Church of Des Moines. When death came as the result of an auto accident in Pacific Grove, California, he was living as an M. P. in the armed forces. Before he entered the army in March of 1944, he was employed by Swifts Soy Bean Mill in Des Moines. Private Sexauer is survived by his bride, Alice, of Des Moines; his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sexauer of Ankeny; a brother Leland Sexauer of Santa Monica, California, a sister, Mrs. Lucille McCleary of Ankeny; and a host of relatives and friends.

Struck by an Automobile: Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Sexauer received word Monday night that their son, Adolph was struck by an auto Saturday night at five o'clock and passed away at seven o'clock. Adolph, 37 years old, was stationed at Ft. Ord, California, and was a Military Police. Mrs. Emily Pickenbrock, Adolph's aunt, is bringing the body back to Des Moines, and funeral services will be at Hamilton's Funeral Home in Des Moines, which will be announced later. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Sexauer of Santa Monica, California, are returning, and Mr. and Mrs. Abel McCleary, who were located in Wyoming, are also coming back. They were on their way to the West Coast. The entire community was shocked, when the news came, and we extend our sympathy to all those, in this time of their great sorrow.
