S.Marie Meyer

> VERONA - S. Marie Meyer, age 93, died Friday, Jan. 23, 2009, at St. Mary's Care Center in Madison. She was born Sept. 27, 1915, in Iron River, located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, to Engebaar and Mann Oberg, whose families had immigrated from Scandinavia. The oldest of three children, Marie graduated from Iron River High School in 1933 and attended Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan where she completed her bachelor's degree in education in 1937. Marie began her education career in 1938 as an elementary teacher in Edwardsburg, Mich. In 1939, she moved to Jefferson, where she continued to teach grade school, sending most of her earnings home to help support her two younger brothers through college. While attending summer school at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1939, Marie met a childhood acquaintance, Oscar Meyer, who was a Captain in the U.S. Army and one of Verona's earliest residents, his parents having moved there shortly after his birth. The two were married on Nov. 6, 1941 and Marie took a break from teaching to raise a family. In 1947 the family moved to Rio, where Oscar had accepted a position as administrator of the Rio Public Schools, a position he held for nearly two decades. In 1953, Marie returned to her education career as an elementary teacher specializing in reading with the Portage School system, where she remained for over ten years. During this time she also earned a master's degree in education from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Marie and Oscar retired to Verona in 1969 but missed kids, school, and teaching. Marie returned to the classroom as a middle school teacher with the Verona Public Schools where she remained until her final retirement in 1982. During her late teaching years she also cared for her invalid mother in her home. A fun-loving person with a great spirit for life, Marie was devoted to protecting and supporting her family. She shunned the spotlight or public displays, but her integrity and her ability to love deeply were a magnet to friends and a gift to her family. She was a skilled and talented seamstress, a doting grandmother, a gifted educator, and a sensitive, caring partner and parent. She was also a person of deep faith and tremendous strength and personal courage, who never ran from life's challenges. In this world or the life that lies beyond, one could not hope for finer company. Marie is survived by her brother, William Oberg of Falls Church, Va; and her two children, James Meyer of Prairie du Sac and Marsha Meyer of Chicago, Ill. She is also survived by four grandchildren, Tracy and Matthew Meyer and twins Jaimie and Stephanie Meyer; a niece, Sandra (Tom) Porter of Fairfax, Va; a great-niece, Ashleigh Porter; and three great-nephews, Shawn, Nathan, and Marshall Porter. She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Oscar Meyer; and a brother, Marshall Oberg, who died in World War II. Memorial services will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2009, in the chapel of ST. MARY'S CARE CENTER, 3401 Maple Drive, just off Highway 18 and 151 (Verona Road), Madison. St. Mary's Chaplin Kim Beuerman and the Reverend Marshall Norman will officiate. Friends may call at St. Mary's Chapel starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Refreshments will be served following the service. Ryan Funeral Home and Cremation Services 5701 Odana Road (608) 274-1000 Wisconsin State Journal, 2-22-20092

Robert A. Oehler, husband of Mildred E. Johnson
     Robert A. Oehler was born on 25 December 1911 at Nelson, British Columbia, Canada.1,2

     The U.S. officially entered World War II on 8 December 1941 following an attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just about a year before that, in October 1940, President Roosevelt had signed into law the first peacetime selective service draft in U.S. history, due to rising world conflicts. After the U.S. entered WWII a new selective service act required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. Between November 1940 and October 1946, over 10 million American men were registered. The Fourth Registration, often referred to as the "old man's registration", was conducted on 27 April 1942 and registered men who born on or between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897 - men who were between 45 and 64 years old - and who were not already in the military. Robert filled out a draft card for World War II on 16 October 1940 (at age 28), while living at 1726 West 54th Street, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. He was working for Janet's Inc. Robert was described as 5' 11.5", brown eyes, brown hair, and dark complexion.2

     Robert married Mildred Eleanor Johnson, daughter of Arvid Valdemar Johnson and Tuny Marie Eko, on 7 July 1956, at Los Angeles, California.1 Robert A. Oehler witnessed the death of Robert A. Oehler in 19603 and was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California.3
