Nora Elaine Schmidt Oelwein, Iowa Brick Section E - Row 10
Born: January 19, 1936, Oelwein, Iowa Mother: Laura Chase Father: Herbert "Hubs" Hammond Brothers: Ed and Jerry Married: August 18, 1957 to Gerald Schmidt Children: Allan, born March 1, 1960, David, born September 13, 1962 Every word I say, every action I take, every day I live is a reflection of Nora for she is my mother and I am her son. She taught me compassion, patience and respect for others. She passed along to me her love of animals and nature. My strongest memory of childhood is her rocking me in a red chair by the window when I was sick with chicken pox. I can still taste the homemade malts and pizza she made for us every Saturday night. I will never forget the hard work and long hours she put in along side my father to make our family farm a success. But most of all I will always remember her personal strength and courage when taking care of her own sick and dying mother. 8/21/95
