Kenneth was born March 5, 1919 and grew up on the Goplerud farm south of Otranto, Iowa. he attended and graduated from Otranto school in 1936. After graduation he joined his father in the farming operation, raising cabbage, potatoes, row crops and livestock. Kenneth enjoyed farming with the work horses and could still remember all of their names.
Kenneth enjoyed antique auctions, fishing, music and singing. His family treasures his hand carved Santas, Norwegian horses and fish decoys. The grandchildren and great-grandchildren fondly remember Grandpa's stories, the birthday parades, and his wonderful sense of humor, and Grandpa loved and was very proud of all of them.
