Esther Lucille Lang, the daughter of Eltie and Katie Karstens, was born on October 26, 1914, in Mankato. She attended school in Mankato, graduating in 1932. She then attended Mankato State Teachers College, graduating with a degree in upper elementary education. She taught school at Dickerson School Dist. 53 for 2 years before she married Harold M. Lang on Sept. 17, 1936. They lived on a farm east of Mankato.
She was a longtime member of Hilltop Methodist Church. Making peanut brittle for the annual bazaar and sharing garden flowers with the congregation were her favorite contributions. She was also a member of Eastern Star, where she received a 50 year pin, and the White Shrine. She held many offices in both organizations. One of her favorite pastimes was playing cards. U Need a Rest was one of the card clubs to which she belonged. She looked forward to family fishing trips in the summer and thoroughly enjoyed being a grandmother and great grandmother.
