Notes - He was born on a farm at Fort Collins, Colorado. The family moved to Mitchell, Scottsbluff County, in 1915 and he received his education at the Springer Rural School in Mitchell Valley. He attended 2 years, and then dropped out to work on his father's farm. He worked as a farm hand for Henry Tanaka in Gering Valley after he married Pauline Herdt. He later moved to the Lake Alice area north of Scottsbluff, Nebraska where he rented farm land from the Hinkle, and Parkhurst families. He farmed there until 1941 when he moved the family to the Dutch Flats area north of Morrill, Nebraska. He rented a farm from Henry Stuckert, and farmed until 1944. He sold out, and then moved his family into the city of Gering, Nebraska in 1944. He worked for the Swift Packing Company, the Tri-State Irrigation Company and finally the Great Western Sugar Company factory at Gering. He retired from Great Western in 1972 as a foreman (was at one point asked to take the postition of Assistant Superintendant but declined because of his lack of education). He then moved to Scottsbluff, Nebraska where he lived until he had a stroke in 1987. He then sold his home and moved to Norwalk, California to live with his son Clarence (spent 3 years splitting time with Clarence and Donald until 1990). Then moved into the Walnut Manor California Lutheran Retirement Home in Anaheim, California where he lived until he died at Martin Luther Medical Center in Anaheim.
He had a reputation of being and excellent Bee Keeper. He was called on to remove bee hives from homes and other structures through out Scottsbluff County. He also had the reputation of planting the straightest rows for his crops in the area when he farmed. Farmers prided themselves for having straight, not crooked or curved, rows for all of their crops. John was always the envy of the farmers in the neighborhood.
He assisted in the construction of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church (now Zion Non-denominational Church) Gering, Nebraska in 1931.
