Memories

Rebecca Dawn Davis

How cool I named my son middle name after Grandpa Roland that my son born in 2012. That's exactly 100 years later.

"I loved your folks (Lois Scheele's parents). Never knew what to call them-one did NOT call elders by their first name, too special and familiar to us for Mr and Mrs and the familiar trend to call someone like that Aunt or Uncle was never suggested. I have a sweet memory of them visiting us once while we were on vacation 'up north'. First your Dad shocked and impressed me by opening the car door for your mom (my folks were never demonstrative toward each other in public) and then he took me on a hike around the area-I was amazed that he would venture out into the great unknown-AND didn't get lost!

Karen Meyer Gilreath

"It was always just Putz's and Vi..... When we talked about them, but I don't think I ever called them by name..... Just got their attention I guess somehow. Haha"

Ramona Meyer Potter: "that's what I was alluding to-never knew what to call them if I wanted their attention. glad I wasn't the only one who needed a nerf ball to get their attention since I was NOT about to call to them by their first name! at least not to their face."

Ramona Meyer Potter: "Lois -I remember after your dad died our mom mentioned how lost your mom was since he did everything for her. After growing up in Myrtle Jaus Meyer's shadow, it was not even fathomable to think of a woman not knowing how to change a light bulb or write a check because her husband had done everything for her. Hmmm-maybe it wasn't a tender gesture your dad did in opening the car door-maybe he had done it for so long your mom didn't know HOW to open it? Just teasing. anytime Tim opens the car door for me I flash back to that memory. it made quite an impression on me!"

Lois Scheele Hartman

"Yes, he did a lot for her. She had to learn how to write checks and pay bills and balance the checkbook, and that was her biggest challenge. But she did it and she became quite independent over the years."

Lyla Jaus:

Putz graduated from Concordia Lutheran Seminary, St. Louis, MO, I think.

Putz was to the MI District with starting many of the congregations...as Dad was to the PNW District, starting many missions. When I was teaching in Milwaukee, WI, Putz was in Ludington MI area, and I took the ferry at least once to visit. When I taught in Monroe, MI, Putz was in Toledo, OH.

Trivia

It's nice to keep things in the family. Follow my thinking... Frederic H. Nitz was the Liturgist at the funeral of Lois Scheele's Dad Roland Scheele. Roland's Dad (Edward) married a Jaus (Lydia). Lydia's niece (Lyla) married a Baur (Ralph). Ralph's Dad (Alfred) married a Hinderer (Clara). Clara had a brother (Christian). Christian had a son (Alfred). Alfred had a daughter (Kathryn). Kathryn married a Nitz (Joel) . Joel is the nephew of Frederic Nitz.
