      Tegtmeier, Wilbert Henry

      Wilbert Henry Tegtmeier, 87, of Clatonia, Neb., passed away Sunday, (09/27/09) in Wilber, Neb. He was born on January 16, 1922 at a farm near Plymouth, Neb. to Carl and Matilda Tegtmeier. He was confirmed on August 2, 1936 at Peace Lutheran Church, rural Jansen by Rev. Reeg. He married Lois Schroder on December 26, 1948. They moved to Clatonia in 1949 and purchased the garage in Clatonia. He owned and operated Tegtmeier Garage for 60 years. His love for his garage was demonstrated even later in his life when he was fixing vehicles, in his mind, in his hospital bed. He was an active member of the Clatonia community. He was town marshal for 53 years. He served many years as fire chief of the Clatonia Fire Department. He carried the community's rescue and life support resuscitator with him and helped many people by giving them oxygen in earlier years. He was a caring person that helped so many with little pay. He was a long-time member of the Clatonia Commercial Club. He was an active member of Zion Lutheran Church and served as Sunday School Superintendent and church elder. His hobbies included fishing, camping, and sitting on the bench in front of Tegtmeier Garage with all of his friends discussing the world's problems and teasing all the kids that walked by.
