Eleanora Eva Bredehoeft was born September 27, 1920 to Fred and Inez (Kohler) Bredehoeft in Beemer, Nebraska. In 1923, when Eleanora was a small child, the family moved to a farm three miles north of O’Neill. She was the third of four siblings. She spent most of her childhood helping her father on the farm, milking cows, working alongside him planting and harvesting crops. She attended country school about three fourths of a mile from her home and graduated from O’Neill High School in 1938. Upon graduation, she worked in the Outlaw Grocery Store in O’Neill for a wage of $5.00 a week. In 1940, she took a job in Birmingham, Alabama working as a bookkeeper at a hardware store where she earned $10 a week. In 1942, she applied for a position in Washington, D.C. working for the Department of Labor. She enjoyed working in Washington and spending time with her great uncle, Nebraska Senator, George Norris for about a year. She was then transferred to the San Francisco, California office where she continued to work till the war ended. She left the high paying government position to become the secretary of Sequoia High School in Redwood City, so she could spend more time with her children. Just before the war, while on a train trip returning to Nebraska from visit to relatives in Oregon, Eleanora met Charles Fisher, a West Virginia native, and later married him on April 1, 1943 in San Francisco. To this union, three children were born; John, Virginia, and Robert. The family resided in Redwood City until 1959, when they moved to Bassett, Nebraska. Charles was employed as a plumber by commercial plumbing contractors building hospitals and schools throughout the state. Eleanora and Charles were baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1956. They were very active in sharing their hope for the future of God’s Kingdom. This conviction lead to their volunteering to assist in the expansion of the World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Brooklyn, New York in 1970-1972. Upon returning to Nebraska, the lived in David City, Broken Bow, and Finally returning to O’Neill in 1975, where Charles installed the plumbing in the new St. Anthony’s Hospital. Eleanora lovingly cared for her aging parents till their deaths. At the same time, she cared for the books and answered the phone for the family’s plumbing business and kept busy in the ministry. She lived a very active life gardening and canning, raising chickens, taking care of grandchildren, and helping out anyone who was in need. Eleanora is survived by her daughter, Virginia Dawson of Houston, Alaska; her son, Robert (Lucy) Fisher of O’Neill; grandchildren, Della (Dan) Grass, Rhonda (Scott) Baldwin, Jesse Dawson, Jeremy (Amy) Dawson, Joseph Dawson, Laura (Matt) Franke, Abby (Nathan) Laughlin, Ethan (Jennie) Fisher; ten great grandchildren; sister, Lois Hudgeons of Tallahassee, Florida; and several nieces and nephews.
