Bio

META A. (NIERMAN) SCHMIDT Holyoke Enterprise, Holyoke, CO, Feb 1991 Meta Anna Bertha Nierman Schmidt Meta A. (Nierman) Schmidt, daughter of Fred and Ida Nierman was born December 21, 1901. She was the fourth of six children. Meta was baptized on January 19, 1902, in Zion Lutheran Church at Plainview, Nebraska. Her family moved from Plainview to Amherst when she was a young child. She attended school in Amherst. She was confirmed in the Christian faith in St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Amherst on April 16, 1916. On November 26, 1922, in St. Paul's Lutheran Church, she was united in marriage to Eldor (Dick) Schmidt. To this union three daughters were born, Elda, Lorraine and Rose Maria. They lived and farmed southeast of Amherst. When her husband died in 1972 Meta moved from the farm into Holyoke. Meta dearly enjoyed being with her family and looked forward to each opportunity for family gatherings. She not only liked to visit but also liked playing cards. She was active in Senior Citizens for many years. It was only when her health failed the past few years that she was no longer able to attend the Senior Citizen activities. Meta was active within the community over the years, but she was most active within the church. She was a faithful member of St. Paul's in Amherst from the time her family moved into the area until she moved to Holyoke in 1972. At that time she joined Zion Lutheran Church. Her devotion to her Savior led her to work hard in the church in a variety of activities. She was active in Ladies Aid and especially enjoyed quilting. She did this until her eyesight and health would no longer allow her to do it. She departed this life on February 4, 1991. She had been living at the Gray Cara Home in Keenesburg. Prior to her move to Keenesburg she had lived at Betty's Place in Holyoke. She was preceded in death by her husband, Eldor (Dick); her parents, Fred and Ida Nierman; two sons-in-law, Werner Lehman and Paul Kerstner; three brothers, Otto, Clarence and Fritz; and two sisters, Esther Schmidt and Alena Snyder. She is survived by her daughters, Elda Exstrom and husband Gus of Holyoke, Lorraine Kerstner of Denver and Rose Maria Schaeffer and husband Dwaine of LaSalle; two brothers-in-law, Art Schmidt of Holyoke and W.H. Schmidt and wife Mabel of Amherst; 12 grandchildren; 33 great grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held on February 8, 1991 in Zion Lutheran Church. Rev. Gary A. Rahe officiated. Burial was in the Amherst Cemetery. META AND ELDOR SHARE A STONE HERE IN AMHERST CEMETERY
