| 5227 | Obituary : Lauretta Baatz Borgman : 1917 - 2012 Mrs. Lauretta (Works) Baatz Borgman, age 94, of Bennington, Indiana, Lauretta entered this life on September 18, 1917, on a farm near Allensville, Indiana, the daughter of Roy D. Works & Ethel May (Hastings) Works Scudder, both of whom preceded her in death. When she was just 6 months old, her parents decided to move to a farm on Allensville Road. Lauretta lived all of her life on the family farm, except for the two winter trips to Colorado. Lauretta's father passed away suddenly when she was 11 years old. She & her mother were left alone to run the family farm. She always joked that she knew how to drive a tractor, when most women could not. Lauretta continued on with her schooling & about the seventh grade she became interested in writing & reciting poems. From then on, she was constantly writing her thoughts down. On April 20, 1935, she was united in marriage to Ralph T. Baatz just before her graduation from Vevay High School. They settled down on the family farm & started their happy life together. Ralph was called to service during World War II & just before he left for service, around Christmas time, he bought Lauretta a portable typewriter as a special gift. Again she was left to maintain the farm by herself. She was able to trade off work with other farmers, plowing & disking & whatever it took to run the family farm. Three years later her husband returned from the South Pacific to a wife who could run a farm & was a newspaper correspondent. She began writing for the Vevay Newspapers in 1945, a job she took very seriously. She continued writing the Allensville News, while her husband continued the farming operation. On May 7, 1954, Lauretta suffered another tragic loss, when her husband of 19 years died suddenly, but Lauretta's faith in God helped her through this very sad period of her life. In 1955, Lauretta began preparing taxes & continued to prepare taxes for the community for over 50 years. In 1954, she received her Insurance License & began selling Crop Insurance to farmers in the community. On February 14, 1957, she found happiness again & was united in marriage to Clyde L. Borgman & they enjoyed over 39 years of marriage together until his death on February 29, 1996. In 1968, Lauretta's collection of poems was published in a book titled "Hoosier Breezes." This was truly an inspiration to her & anyone who chose to read them. Lauretta was a very talented pianist & she wrote & composed song's titled, "A Soldier's Prayer", "A Risen Savior" & "I'm In Love With You", to name a few.
