      Francis farmed the family farm from 1942 to 1980, until his retirement. The family farm became an Illinois Century Family Farm in 1977.

Francis was an avid member of the Cast Iron Seats Club, traveling to many antique sales collecting cast iron seats and other farm collectibles.

      He enjoyed traveling in the United States and abroad. Francis enjoyed his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He also enjoyed playing cards and watching the Cubs. He was always there to listen or lend a helping hand whenever anyone needed help. He never turned anyone down.

      Surviving are his loving wife, Dorothy, of almost 69 years on April 8; his children, Bill (Karon) Oldenburg, Ann (Carl) Schoenhard and John (Tammy) Oldenburg, all of Galena; his grandchildren, Angie (friend, Jay) Young, of Fairbanks, Alaska, Julie (Mike) Kapparos and Jody (Mark) Calvert, both of Galena, Blaine (Trisha) Schoenhard, of Dubuque, Rachel, Adrienne and April Oldenburg, all of Galena; great-grandchildren, Nathan Oldenburg, of Boscobel, Wis., Andrea Oldenburg, of Minneapolis, D.J.

      He was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers, Albert Raymond, Robert, Ambrose and Leo Oldenburg; a sister, Gladys Green; a daughter-in-law, Sherry Oldenburg; a grandson, Tony Oldenburg; and a granddaughter, Erin A. Schoenhard.

      In lieu of flowers, we ask you to say a prayer for someone in need. Dad would love that and it will take a multitude of us praying on earth to make up for the prayers of the one whom now lives in Heaven. In all things, our Dad trusted in the Lord. For Dad to see God face to face, we can only imagine the depths of his joy. But we remain here with all our tears to cry, because this incredible man meant the world to us. We will trust in God as taught to us and we will find comfort in knowing, "Those that believe in the Lord never see each other for the last time." Dad, we're counting on it. We love you. A special thank-you to all those who have helped in caring for our Dad.
