The youngest child of Joseph and Elizabeth (Lampman) Lampe, Marvin Edward Lampe was born in Carroll, Iowa on August 15, 1930. He attended school through the 8 th grade and at age 14 began working for Schroeder Road Construction. On February 1, 1955, Marvin was united in marriage to Jeanette Willenborg at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Manning. Together they raised 11 perfect children.
Following their marriage, Barney attended barber school in Omaha, working for a few years before returning to Carroll. He continued to give haircuts in his barber chair in the basement. Barney was part owner of the Arcadia Recreation, bar and bowling alley. He later worked for Gene Huelshorst Painting until his retirement. Going to the casino was one of Barney’s favorite pastimes, particularly Las Vegas. He also enjoyed trips to Branson, but his favorite place was to be sitting on the front porch of the house he lived in for 47 years.
Barney was an honest and fair man who you could always count on to be the life of the party. He always said he die without having a single enemy, to which he succeeded. He could have a conversation with anyone. Barney will be most remembered for his always joking personality and his love of beer.
