Wayne Frederick Truog, son of Frederick Henry and Ruth Leone (Draman) Truog, was born June 5, 1934 at his home in Rush Lake Township, Iowa. He received his education in Mallard, graduating from Mallard High School in 1952.

On June 12, 1955 Wayne was united in marriage to Olga Mardell Darr at the United Methodist Church in Mallard. To this union three children were born. Wayne farmed his entire life, raising hogs, cattle and chickens as well as doing grain farming. He retired in 2008 when he and Mardell moved into Emmetsburg.

Wayne worked for the A.S.C. office measuring ground for them. He served on the Rush Lake Cemetery Board and worked the voting booths on election days, in Mallard, for many years.

Wayne enjoyed watching sports of all kinds and playing cards with family and friends, especially 500 and Cribbage. He had a great sense of humor and was always on the receiving end of April Fools jokes. Wayne loved his family and spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. One of his favorite treats was homemade ice cream.

Wayne passed away Monday, May 27, 2019 at the Palo Alto County Hospital in Emmetsburg, Iowa, at the age of 84.
