Henry Wilhelm Roemmich was born on September 10, 1916, to Arthur and Sophie (Ulmer) Roemmich on a farm seven miles south and three quarters of a mile east of Sutton, Nebraska. He attended German classes at Emmanuel Reformed Church and graduated from the 8th Grade at District 38 - Rock School. He worked on the family farm until he married Martha Anna Scheierman on September 25, 1938. He then farmed south of Sutton. Along with farming, he was a school board member of District 38 - Rock School, served on the Sheridan Township Board, and circulated a petition to get telephone lines extended south of Sutton. In the fall of 1983, he retired from farming and moved to Sutton. He spent his retirement years gardening and baking, and took great joy in sharing the fruits of his labor-especially his flowers and sweet potatoes. He was a former member of Emmanuel Reformed Church and Homebuilders, and was a current member of Hope Reformed Church. He is survived by his five children and their spouses: Henry W. Roemmich, Jr. and wife Patricia of Mansfield, Texas; Kathryn Fisher and husband Bob of Hebron, Nebraska; John Roemmich and wife Kay of Ft. Worth, Texas; Mary Arbuck and husband Gary of Lincoln, Nebraska; and Ruth Börgeling and husband Koob of Juniata, Nebraska, 15 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren; his sister Vera Reichert of Sutton, Nebraska, and brother Art Roemmich and wife Ruth of York, Nebraska.
