Blanche Anna (Peterson) Burmeister
February 25, 1921 - April 20, 2009

Blanche Anna Burmeister, daughter of Harry L. and Mildred (Findlay) Peterson, was born on February 25, 1921, on a farm near Cuppy’s Grove in the Monroe Township of Shelby County, Iowa. She attended school in Cuppy’s Grove for eight years, followed by Harlan (Iowa) High School for three years. A family move took her to Oakland, California, where she graduated in 1938. She worked for Dr. Maassen five years following graduation. On December 28, 1943, Blanche married Alvin H. Burmeister, a farmer living near Corley, Iowa, in the Fairview Township. They lived and worked on the family farm where Alvin lived all of his life. Blanche was a dedicated farm wife and homemaker. After Alvin retired from farming, Blanche and Alvin enjoyed many winters in Kissimmee, Florida, with many of their friends.

Blanche and Alvin were members of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Harlan from the time of their marriage until 1960, when they transferred to United Lutheran Church in Shelby, Iowa. They returned to Immanuel in 1998. Blanche and Alvin were married for 55 years.

Blanche’s life was blessed with smiles and happiness brought by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved to play cards, Po-Ke-No and teach her grandkids how to play 21 with pennies! She always had candy (usually Brach’s, definitely Butterscotch and Cinnamon) ready for the taking and geraniums and snapdragons in her garden. She loved mowing the lawn on her lawn tractor, baking wonderful rolls and many other things, and doing search-a-word puzzles. Blanche had a small organ in their home where she might be found playing a hymn or two - “How Great Thou Art” was her favorite. She loved lilacs and lily of the valley, always dreamed of having a Lincoln Town Car, and always had to sneeze three times if she was going to sneeze at all. She used to wear dresses all the time, but eventually, that gave way to slacks, which she actually enjoyed wearing more. In the summer, she might be found riding her trike to the mailbox, canning, or making fresh cucumber and onion salad. She hosted “Club” for the ladies and that was the only time the grandchildren weren’t welcome to walk right in her door. She often hosted sleepovers for the grandkids as well, sure to bring late-night TV watching, fun snacks and lots of card playing. She also enjoyed crocheting and cross stitching. Blanche had quite a sense of humor, too - quick to the end with teasing comments, a wink and a grin.

Blanche Anna Burmeister died peacefully on Monday, April 20, 2009, at her daughter Diane’s home in Urbandale, Iowa, at the age of 88 years, 1 month and 26 days.

Blanche was preceded in death by her parents and her husband; her brother, Harry Peterson, Jr.; her sister, Darlene Reed; two brothers-in-law, Don Reed and Clancy Holdren; and one grandson, Matthew Burmeister. She is survived by her sister, Marilyn Holdren of Harlan; her children and their spouses, Connie and Jerry Paul of Woodland Park, Colorado, Diane and Jim Friend of Urbandale, Iowa, Roger and Mary Burmeister of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and David and Kim Burmeister of Harlan; 11 grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and three step-great-grandchildren; along with many other relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held on Friday, April 24, 2009 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Harlan, Iowa, with Pastor Jon Benson of Saint John Lutheran Church, Council Bluffs, Iowa, officiating. Marge Ahrenholtz served as organist and Bonnie Peters was the soloist. Casket bearers were Eric Burmeister, Kris Bro, Michael Paul, Rachel Lindstrom, Jeremy Bro, Jay Burmeister, Angie Sindergard, Andrew Bro, Caroline Gallup, Missy Friend, Billy Friend, Kelly Marvin, Marcus Burmeister, and Mitchell Burmeister. Burial was in the Harlan Cemetery in Harlan, Iowa. The Burmeister-Johannsen Funeral Home in Harlan was in charge of the arrangements. Condolences may be left on line at burmeisterjohannsen.com.

Mary Ellen Klitgaard, the daughter of Horace and Rose (Johnson) Petersen, was born on October 29, 1931, at the family home in Jackson Township, Jacksonville, Iowa. She was the sixth child in a family with five brothers and seven sisters. Mary attended Jackson Number One rural school through the eighth grade. In the fall of 1948, Mary was diagnosed with polio, and she spent several months recovering from the disease. She then finished high school and graduated from Harlan (Iowa) High School in 1950. Mary had special memories of her school days, including Christmas programs, eighth grade graduation exams, high school student council, National Honor Society, Homecoming Queen, sporting events, spending time with family and friends, and 4-H activities.

Following her graduation from high school, Mary worked as a bookkeeper for Farm Service Coop in Harlan. On May 18, 1951, Mary married Richard Charles Klitgaard at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Jacksonville, Iowa. They became the parents of four children, Steven Ray, Barbara Ann, Jane Ellen, and Donald Richard. In January 1955, Richard began working for Klitgaard & Petsche Builders and Contractors, and from 1960-1993, Mary did the bookkeeping for the family business.

Mary was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Harlan, Iowa, where she had served as a Sunday School teacher, Christian Education director, MYF sponsor, finance committee member, and United Methodist Women member. She was also a P.E.O. Along with Richard, she was a 4-H organizational leader for ten years. Mary and her family loved to camp at various Iowa state parks and to travel. After her retirement, Mary volunteered her time with the Library Board, and the Myrtue Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Mary served as a Cub Scout leader, then spent most of her adult life involved in Girl Scouting as a club leader, and served in many leadership positions. She received the highest award given to Girl Scout volunteers. In her spare time, she enjoyed baking, fishing, and playing games. In 1996, the Harlan Chamber of Commerce recognized Mary with the Citizen of the Years Award.

Kenneth Elmer “Nick” Rosenow, the son of Perley A. and Loretta L. (Albers) Rosenow, was born on February 3, 1938, in Earling, Iowa. He graduated from Tennant (Iowa) High School in 1955. Following high school, Nick was employed by Cox Grain and Cooper Farms. On August 26, 1960, he married Mildred LaVon Kiesel at the United Lutheran Church in Shelby, Iowa. Nick then worked for his father-in-law at Elmer Kiesel Implement, as well as the Shelby Elevator. In 1972, he began working as a custodian with the AHST school system; he later was also a bus driver for the school.

Ruby Tuel
November 05, 1919 - June 27, 2009

Ruby I. Tuel, 89, longtime resident of Atlantic, passed away unexpectedly at Avoca Nursing & Rehab Center on Saturday, June 27, 2009.

Ruby Irene was born the daughter of George and Anna (Campen) Brawe in Massena, Iowa on November 5, 1919. She grew up in Massena, attending school and graduating where she would become a country school teacher. She lived with her parents in their home while she taught for over six years.

As a teacher, she had to build the fire when it was cold, scoop the snow, sweep floors and carry water. She also told the story about cleaning the outdoor toilets, noting it was a job she would rather forget.

Her contract stated that she had to be 18 years old, and if she got married, the contract became null and void. After she had taught at Massena No. 5 for six years, she thought maybe the school needed a change of teacher so she moved along, only to return to the school she had missed so much. That lasted only three months, as "Penny Tuel," the man of her dreams, moved into her picture.

As surprising turns of events took place in both Ruby's and Penny's lives, they became acquainted through her house keeping and cooking job and Penny's farming employment for the famed Roswell Garst family - hosts of Nikita Khrushchev, in Coon Rapids, Iowa. Ruby was paid a dollar a day while she worked for Mrs. Garst.

Penny went to the service on October 17, 1941, and wasn't allowed to return or come home at all until he was discharged on October 17, 1945. He was not allowed to visit home during those years, even when his parents passed away. When he was finally discharged from Okinanwa, Ruby had the high light of her life when her brother took her to met Penny at the train station in Atlantic. Ruby was married to Leonard H. "Penny" Tuel in Atlantic on November 10, 1945 in Malvern, Iowa. The couple was blessed with a family of three children.

As the children grew, she became a Penney's Department Store employee where she worked until retirement in 1983. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church. Her endeared hobbies and interests included gardening (she especially enjoyed geraniums and petunias), cooking and watching her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren grow up. Her family will fondly remember her wonderful sense of humor.

Ruby's survivors include her husband Penny of Atlantic; daughter Vicki Vollmuth of Omaha, NE; sons, Rodger Tuel and his wife Nancy of Berthoud, CO and Tim Tuel and his wife Denise of Shelby, IA; a sister Elsie Purvis of Grand Island, NE; a sister-in-law Millree Brawe of Massena, IA; grandchildren, Joel and Troy Tuel of Denver, CO, Amelia Tuel, Alyssa Tuel and Taylor Tuel of Shelby, IA, Chris Vollmuth and wife Julie of Omaha, NE, Jenny McKenzie and husband Ben of Omaha, NE, Missy Croom and husband Nate of Omaha, NE, Matt Vollmuth and wife Katie of Omaha, NE; great grandchildren, Grace, Lucy and Sam Vollmuth, Maddie and Mollie McKenzie and Ava Croom, all of Omaha, NE; nieces, nephews, friends and family.

She was preceded in death by her parents George and Anna Brawe; brothers, Art, Harold and Elmer Brawe; sisters-in-law, Fern Brawe and Dorothy Brawe; brother-in-law Elmer Purvis; and son-in-law Lyle L. Vollmuth.

Funeral Information
There will be open visitation from 8:00 A.M. to 5 P.M. daily until family will meet with friends from 6:00 to 8:00 on Wednesday evening, July 1.
