Bernard “Bernie” Dean Holmberg, son of Harry and Helen (Shearon) Holmberg was born July 26, 1936 at Lynch, Nebraska. He attended school at Gross through the 8th grade and then graduated from Spencer High School in 1954. Bernie also attended Tech School in Milford, Nebraska. He was married to Carolyn Hargens on August 8, 1970, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Spencer, Nebraska. Four children were born to them, Marilou, Monika, Melenda, and Miriam. Bernie farmed and ranched in the Spencer area all of his life. He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, a member of the Boyd County Knights of Columbus and the American Legion. He was a Farmer’s Union Board Member and served on the Spencer-Naper school board eight years, four years as President. Bernie started farming/ranching with his dad at the age of six. They lived on the ranch 12 miles north of Bristow, where they raised Hereford cattle. When it came time for Bernie to attend high school in Spencer, he boarded with Mrs. Ruff and roomed with Leo Johnson. In 1953, Bernie’s parents and sisters moved to a farm six miles east of Spencer. He joined them on this farm in the spring of 1954. Bernie was drafted into military service in December of 1959. After basic training, he was assigned to the 557 Medical Unit, 7th US Army and his unit was sent to Germany. Due to the Cuban Missile Crisis, his time was extended, and he was honorably discharged on February 22, 1962. While in Germany, the Berlin wall was built and in 1989, via television, Bernie watched the wall come down. After his marriage to Carolyn, they moved onto the farm east of Spencer and continued with the farming and ranching. In 2001, Bernie and Carolyn moved into Spencer. Lo and behold, Leo Johnson was their next-door neighbor. Paul and Denise Hausmann took over the farming and ranching, becoming part of the Holmberg family.
