Two Linn County residents — one a husband, father and volunteer firefighter and the other a nurse, gardener and aunt — are being remembered for heroic actions in a brutal attack that took their lives Tuesday at the Anamosa State Penitentiary. Correctional officer Robert McFarland, 46, of Ely, and registered nurse Lorena Schulte, 50, of Cedar Rapids, were bludgeoned to death by two inmates in a failed attempt to escape the prison.
