History

Claus Frahm
Mar. 11, 1858 - Aug. 28, 1949

Thomas Frahm
July 28, 1865 - Apr. 19, 1961
Claus and Thomas Frahm were brothers who grew up as neighbors to William H. and Alice T. Lanning. In 1883, Mr. Lanning hired 17-year-old Thomas to work in the McKinley-Lanning land brokerage office. Thomas earned the respect of his employer and, 36 years later, succeeded Mr. Lanning as president in April 1919. Thomas was known for his knowledge of Nebraska land and its people, which contributed to his success. Thomas was a member of the hospital’s organizational meeting on March 1914, and the Mary Lanning Hospital Trust, organized in June 1918. Thomas served as a hospital trustee from 1922 until January 1961, shortly before his death in April. Claus Frahm was a Beatrice Foods vice president in charge of acquisitions and development. As a Trustee, Thomas knew the needs of the hospital. He and his brother were successful business leaders who understood an investment in Mary Lanning was an investment in the community’s future. Together, the Frahm brothers added nearly half a million dollars to the trust established in the Lanning will (1919). Additionally, Thomas donated $200,000 for a hospital wing in 1954. Claus and Thomas Frahm left a lasting legacy, providing support for quality healthcare through their generosity to Mary Lanning Healthcare.
The Foundation Board of Directors recognizes President Roger Doerr for his leadership in helping create the Society in 2016 when he was Vice President.
