 Warren L. Lindaman was born on January 4, 1933, to Jake J. and Esther (Oelmann) Lindaman at the Marshalltown Community Hospital.  (He had the distinction of being Grundy County’s first baby of the year in 1933.) 

He attended Country School at German #5 through the 8th grade and then finished his education, graduating from Wellsburg High School in 1951.

He served his country with the U.S. Army from 1953 to 1955.  In the U.S. Army he was a personal assistant for Retired General Cyrus Q. Shelton in El Paso, Texas.  After his service in the U.S. Army, he began farming with his father, north of Wellsburg.   Warren loved cattle and that passion led him to become a cattle order buyer for other individuals throughout the area.

He married Dena Krull on June 16, 1959 at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Grundy Center. They were blessed with four children, Cindy, Greg, Darla and Barb.

Warren was a lifelong member of the East Friesland Presbyterian Church.  He served the Lord as an elder, deacon, trustee, Sunday school and Catechism teacher. In addition to his church involvement, he was a 4H Leader, served on the Wellsburg School Board, Wellsburg City Council, Wellsburg Community Club and the Wellsburg American Amvet Post No 91.  Warren also served on the Board of Directors for Peoples Savings Bank from 1984 – 2008.

Warren was a very generous, humble, caring and loving man. He treasured his faith and family above everything else. Warren never met a stranger and always had a genuine interest in the people he met. One of his greatest joys was attending cattle sales with his son and grandson.  In addition, he greatly enjoyed sharing his passion for trout fishing with his family and friends.  Above all, he was incredibly proud and actively involved with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.  His infectious smile and outgoing personality will be greatly missed by all.
