Harold was born in Traenor, Iowa on June 13, 1913 to Albert and Clara (Piermann) Lanz. Harold spent the majority of his life in Belgrade Township, having lived in other areas of Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota during his 91 years on this blessed earth. Harold married Evelyn M. Gosch on April 9, 1934 at Grace Lutheran Church in Mankato. Evelyn passed away on March 24, 2004. They were blessed with six children during their 70 years of marriage. Harold was a farmer the majority of his life but had also served in the Navy, drove truck, and worked on a horse farm in the Madelia area, plus various other jobs. He fulfilled his dream to own the family farm, lost during the depression, located in Belgrade Township. Our Lord blessed Harold with many things in his life and gave him the chance to enjoy his family, friends, Twins baseball, old time waltzes and polkas with his wife, Evelyn and many dance going friends, playing cards, and his deep love for horses. His farming life started with a team of horses and his retirement with modern equipment doing the same job.
Harold is survived by one daughter, Shirley M. Hanson of North Mankato; three sons, Harold Lanz Jr. of Amboy, Harlan (Joan) Lanz of North Mankato, Steven Lanz of Madison Lake; 15 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great-grandchildren; former daughters-in-law and friends, Sue Lanz and Carol Lanz; his longtime friend, Norb Pomeranke of North Mankato; many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
