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.

    Occupation:

         The following is a transcription shared by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of Ankeny, Iowa's recognition of Myrtle's service to her community. The account was published in the March 1999 issue of Turn Row, John Deere Des Moines Works.

    Myrtle L. Sexauer, retired in 1982 after 32 years as secretary to six general managers at the John Deere Des Moines Works, received the Ankeny Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award on 26 January 1999. The Ankeny Chamber of Commerce presented Myrtle with the plaque at the banquet held at the Best Western, which read "1998 Outstanding Citizen, Myrtle L. Sexauer, in recognition of her outstanding service to the community of Ankeny, Iowa." Barb White, also retired from John Deer, was assigned the task of getting Myrtle to attend the banquet without Myrtle knowing about the award. This was quite a challenge, but the surprise was eventually carried off. Barb had also call all of Myrtle's family and some of her closest friends. Those who could come filed into the banquet room just as Myrtle's name was announced from the podium. Myrtle was absolutely astonished. It was a poignant moment as her family and friends wipe away proud tears. Her astonishment did not leave her quite speechless. She told last year's winner, Gary Welch, who presented the award to her, "Now I know how you felt...if I'd known ahead of time I'd have done a better job with my thanks and acceptance. I feel each of you is deserving of recognition." Mr. Welch is the head of Neven Community Resource Center. Myrtle's latest contribution to the city has been filling the role of President of the Historical Society. Last year the Board could not find anyone to be president, so they asked Myrtle to do it. "Sorry, no. I'm 80 years old and I've had a heart attack," she told them. She, of course, ended up accepting the position anyway. This is just like Myrtle, and indicative of the many, many tasks she has led to successful completion over her life-long residence in Ankeny. An earlier honor was her induction into the Ankeny High School Alumni Hall of Honor in 1995.

    Buried:

         Funeral services were held at Ankeny First United Methodist Church, where Myrtle had been a life-long member. A private burial service was held at Greenwood Friends Cemetery in Ankeny.

    Died:
    She died at Sunny View Care Center, at the age of 98 years.
