Meyer was born on November 15, 1907 on the family farm in Washington Township to Dick and Flora Katherina "Tena" (Frerichs) Kruse. She was baptized at home and confirmed at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church (Preston Township) near Akron. Clara attended country school near her home, and she learned crocheting, knitting, and tatting. Throughout the years she would make many beautiful and useful gifts that she shared with others. Following her education she assisted her family with farming and caring for her grandmothers. On September 14, 1930, Clara and Henry Meyer were united in marriage at her parents' home. Henry's father, Rev. Theo. Meyer, presided over the service. The couple made their home on a farm 2 miles west of Brunsville, Iowa. They shared the work and thoroughly enjoyed crop farming, as well as raising livestock. Clara and Henry's home was always open for family and guests. Although they had no children of their own, they were always concerned about their nieces and nephews, including two nieces (Lillian Ludwigs and La Vonne Luebke) who lived with them. They retired from farming in 1978 and moved to Le Mars. While living in Le Mars they still maintained the close ties with their country roots. Henry passed away on May 24, 1986. Clara remained in her home until moving to the Good Samaritan Village of Le Mars on March 26, 2002. Clara was an active member of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church (Preston Township) and participated in Ladies' Aid and WELCA. She and Henry loved to travel. Travel highlights included Washington DC, The Eastern Seaboard, Florida, and the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. She also loved vegetable and flower gardening. Clara will be lovingly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, and cousins; two sisters-in-law, Helena Meyer of Waverly, Iowa, and Esther Meyer of Mesa, Arizona. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Henry; an infant brother, Harm, and infant sister, Antja; a sister- and brother-in-law, Meta and Henry Jelken; a brother- and sister-in-law, Harm and Louise Kruse; a brother, Claus; and sisters-in-law, Doretta and Irene.
