He graduated from Thornton High School and Hamilton Business College in Mason City, IA. Marvin began working for Carroll Sales Company, a wholesale feed and oil dis- tributor, in 1947. In 1950 Marvin was drafted into the army and was a member of Headquarters 24th Infantry Division. He was presented the Commendation Rib- bon with Metal Pendant for meritorious achievement in Korea. After two years of service he returned to his job at Carroll Sales.

Marvin had a 70 year history with Carroll Sales Com- pany. After 31 years of employment, Emil J. Bohn, pres- ident and founder of the Mason City Warehouse Corp. and Carroll Sales Company sold the two companies to long-time employees Gordon Schaper, Harlan John- son, and Marvin. Marvin was appointed president and general manager of Carroll Sales and vice-president of the Mason City Warehouse.

When Gordon and Harlan passed away the warehousing operation was closed and Marvin became sole owner of Carroll Sales Company. He continued to serve as a consultant after retiring. Marvin met his future wife Jeanette White at Carroll Sales Company. The couple married on September 3, 1950 in Plover, IA. They had three children: Debra, Ste- ven, and Patti.

Marvin and Jeanette made their home in Mason City and lived in the house they had built for 65 years. Jeanette was the love of his life and they enjoyed doing almost everything together. Marvin was an environmentalist, a conservationist, and a lover of nature. He planted a tree farm of 5000 tree seedlings on his acreage south of Portland through the Cerro Gordo Conservation Program. Seven acres of land were seeded with wildflowers and he also devoted a small part of the acreage to apple, cherry and peach trees.

The land is a designated natural conservation and wildlife area. He pursued his interest in beekeep- ing by taking a beekeeping class at NIACC and then establishing several of his own hives. One of his favorite activities on the farm was driving his vintage Super-C Farmall tractor. Some of his other hobbies and interests included car- pentry, woodworking, music, archaeology, bird-watch- ing, and fishing. He loved a great meal and good conver- sation, grilling outdoors, and Sunday afternoon drives in the country.

Marvin enjoyed traveling, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. High- lights were trips to England, Ireland and China. He es- pecially looked forward to his annual fishing trip to the Kississing Lodge in Canada. He was also a proud par- ticipant in the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. Marvin was a member of noon Rotary and made many friends there.

He was also president of Feed Distributors, Inc. and president of NIACC Dormitories for many years. Marvin was an active member of First United Meth- odist Church and enjoyed serving on the finance com- mittee and ushering. Several years ago he was part of a church mission group that went to the Rosebud Res- ervation in South Dakota to help with building repairs. When Marvin was no longer able to attend church, he listened to the service on the radio.

He will be re- membered for his easy smile and laugh, outgoing and good-natured personality, determination, and depend- ability. Marvin is survived by his three children, Debra Schlutz of St. Paul, MN, Steven Schlutz and wife, Jen- nifer, of Mason City and Patti Schlutz of Clear Lake; three grandchildren, Kari Seger and husband, Chris, of Northwood, IA, Robert Schlutz of Altoona, IA and Jessie Schlutz of Mason City; and four great grandchildren.

Although these deaths are rare about 700 a year they have been rising for decades, especially among black women. American mom to- day is more likely to die in childbirth than her own mother said Dr. Neel Shah, a Harvard Medi- cal School obstetrician. The American College of Obstetricians and Gy- necologists meanwhile has released new guidelines saying women should have a comprehensive heart-risk evaluation 12 weeks after delivery, but up to of women return for that visit and payment is- sues may be one reason. Bleeding and infections used to cause most preg- nancy-related deaths, but heart-related problems do now.

is really a stress because of the extra blood the heart is moving for mom and child, said the head of the guide- lines panel, Dr. James Mar- tin. That can reveal previ- ously unknown problems or lead to new ones. Centers for Disease Control and Pre- vention report found that about one-third of mater- nal deaths happened during pregnancy, a third were during or within a week of birth, and the rest were up to a year later. Globally, maternal mor- tality fell about be- tween 1990 and 2015, ac- cording to the World Health Organization.

But the U.S. is out of step: Moms die in about 17 out of every 100,000 U.S. births each year, up from 12 per 100,000 a quarter century ago. Possible factors include the high C-section rates in the U.S. and soaring rates of obesity, which raises the risk of heart disease, dia- betes and other complica- tions.

Black women in the U.S. are about three times as likely to die from a preg- nancy-related cause as others, partly because of racial bias they may expe- rience in getting care and doctors not recognizing risk factors such as high blood pressure, said Dr. Lisa Hollier, the obstetri- cian president. Stacy Ann Walker may be an example. She was 29, healthy and excited to be expecting her first child eight years ago the unimaginable happened and left both of us fighting for our The Hartford, Connecti- cut, woman said her doctor brushed off her complaints of shortness of breath, exhaustion and swell- ing in her legs as normal aches and pains of preg- nancy.

Her baby developed life-threatening compli- cations requiring an emer- gency cesarean section, and weighed less than 3 pounds at delivery. But her ordeal over. After the birth, she developed heart valve problems and heart failure, requiring surgery. US pregnancy deaths up, and report says most are preventable TERESA CRAWFORD, ASSOCIATED PRESS a doctor performs an ultrasound scan on a pregnant woman aug. 7, 2018 at a hospital in Chicago.

according to a report released by the Centers for disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday in about 17 out of every 100,000 U.s. births each year, the mother dies from pregnancy- related causes around 700 deaths a year. But the rate has been slowly climbing for decades. The rate was around 12 per 100,000 a quarter century ago..
