Bio
Leo G. Siercks, 100 Services for Leo G. Siercks, 100, of Fremont, who died November 10, 1991 at Memorial Hospital of Dodge County in Fremont were Wednesday, November 13 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fremont. Rev. Donald Levenhagen officiated. Burial was in Memorial Cemetery at Fremont. Leo G. Siercks was born January 13, 1891 in Wohrden, Dithmarschn, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. He came to the United States when he was 12 years old and moved to Hooper. He married Annie M. Victor of Wayne on January 10, 1917 at Wakefield, Nebraska. She preceded him in death September 24, 1968. He farmed at Wayne and Arlington, Nebraska from 1927-1943. During WWII, he worked at the Nebraska Ordinance Plant in Mead. When they moved to the new house in Fremont, he worked for Valley Manufacturing. After retiring, he did yard work, and sharpened manual lawn mower blades. He moved to Merrick Manor in June, 1985. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church. He was preceded in death by his parents, Julius George and Anna M. Magdalena (Meyborg) Siercks, Sr.; wife, Annie; a daughter, Eleanor Appleby; five brothers, Julius, William, Ernest, Otto and George; five sisters, Hilda Reker, Erna Parade, Magda Hilgenkamp and infants, Hilda and Mina; one great-grandchild and three great-great-grandchildren. He is survived by a son, Lloyd, of Lebanon, Oregon; three daughters, Adeline (Mrs. W. Beltrand) Kolbo of Fremont, Lois (Mrs. Edwin) Jorgensen of Fremont and Geraldine Hutchinson of Yakima, Washington (now all deceased); 11 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren and 20 great-great-grandchildren. Pallbearers were Clifford Lund, Walter Krohn, Art Wittmann, Ed Bloemker, Lawrence R. Johnson and Harvey Clatanoff. Jean Parkhurst was organist. Rev. Timothy Gierks was soloist. Grandpa once told me he remembered ice skating when he was growing up in Germany. His favorite chair was a recliner, and when he left for the day, Grandma and I would search for the change that fell out of his pockets. He was a very strong, hard-working man. He used to be able to place his hands on the clothes line pole, and hold his body straight out at a 90 degree angle! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* May your spirit be with the Lord
