If you would like to add to his memorial, I found-
The last Republican elected County Supervisor was Oren R. (Ressler) Alt, in 1956 and 1958.
In his 1940 U.S. Census record Alt was reported as being 39 and single, the second son of Peter and Sarah Alt, who had four children, Ivan, Oren, Roy, and Ada. The father came to the United States from Australia; his mother’s family was from Germany. Alt said he had an 8th grade education and reported working 66 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, as a farmer.
He married Bertha Hughes on May 2, 1947. They apparently did not have any children and following Alt’s unexpected death in 1991, Bertha lived until she was 94, passing away in 2003.
They both donated their bodies to the University of Iowa for research
