Christofer Karl David Blankemeier was born at
Belm, Germany December 22, 1872. In infancy he was baptized into
the Name of the Triune God by Rev. Meier. He was confirmed in the
Lutheran Church at Achelriede, Germany when he was 14 years old.
In 1888, when he was sixteen years old,
he came to America and settled in Atchison County, Missouri. During
the time he lived there he was joined in Holy Matrimony to Rieka Bierman
in the year 1897. This union was blessed with three daughters.
They came to Timber Creek, Nebraska in the year 1903, where they have
since lived.
Mr. Blankemeier had been sick for the past
six or seven years. He became worse last Christmas and was failing
rapidly until he answered the summons of his Heavenly Father early Saturday
morning, May 18, having reached the age of 67 years, 4 months, and 25
days.
He is survived by his wife; three daughter,
Mrs. Fred Schroeder, of Vilisca, Iowa, Mrs. Ed Cleveland and Mrs. John
Oltmanns, Jr., both of Belgrade, Nebraska; two sisters, Mrs. Louie Krome,
of Westboro, Missouri and Mrs. Gust Luedtke, of Omaha, Nebraska; fourteen
grandchildren and many friends.
Mr. Blankemeier was always a great hand
with children and took charge of the Sunday school at Redwing school several
years before the church was built. He was always interested in the
affairs of the church and was deacon for a number of years.
(I believe the year he died was 1939.)
