This tribute to Mrs. Lanspa is contributed by a friend who had known her for many years. "During the time Mrs. Lanspa made her home in Center township and during her residence in David City her sterling qualities secured for her a warm place in the heart of the community. She was always courteous, ambitious and upright; and a typical mother to her family, and always smilingly faced whatever awaited."
