Wilbur W. Langfeld, 82, a resident of Rothsay, died on Thursday, March 31, 2016, at Sanford Health in Fargo, ND.

Wilbur was born on January 4, 1934, to William and Rosie (Fiala) Langfeld, on the family farm in Akron Township, near Rothsay. He was baptized and confirmed into the Missouri Synod Faith and attended country school near the farm.
