	Former Nw Iowa Funeral Director Gets Prison Time By Brian Haas South Florida Sun-Sentinel March 25, 2009 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-ia-funeraldirector-t,0,3533434.story LE MARS, Iowa - A former northwest Iowa funeral home director serving probation for theft and tax evasion has been sentenced to prison. Fifty-year-old Mark Rohde of Kingsley pleaded guilty in August 2008 and was placed on three years probation and ordered to pay $210,000 restitution, including $180,000 to his former business partner and the rest to the Iowa Department of Revenue. On Wednesday, a Plymouth County judge revoked that probation and ordered Rohde to serve a prison sentence after a jury found him guilty earlier this month of harassing his former business partners. Rohde was formerly a part-owner of the Mauer-Johnson-Earnest Funeral Homes in Kingsley and Marcus.
