Ernest William Ludtke was born Jan. 17, 1909, to Rudolph Adolph and Bertha Anna (Petrausch) Ludtke on the family farm in Morton Township, Day County, east of Webster. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Webster. He attended District 183 country school and Waubay High School. His mother died during the flu epidemic of 1918 and in 1919 his father married Marie Randall, so he became a member of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Waubay for several years. He managed his uncle, Will Ludtke's farm for a period of time, after which he was employed at Community Oil Company in Webster. He was called to serve during World War II in the Army's Signal Corps, 52nd Battalion from 1941 to 1945. He had previously met Gladys Cecelia Johnson at Community Club. Their courtship led to their marriage Sept. 17, 1943, before he was sent overseas to Australia, Manila and New Guinea. She had worked for several years at the Day County Treasurer's office and then the U.S. Corps of Engineers in Sacramento, Calif., during her husband's absence. After he returned from the Army, the couple moved to the Ludtke family farm and his parents moved to Waubay. They lived on the farm until 1998 when they moved to Webster. Mrs. Ludtke died in June 2001. In September 2003, he moved to Casper to live with his daughter and in November entered Life Care Center in Casper. He was a member of the American Lutheran Church in Webster and had served on the church council. Most of his social life centered around church, family and neighbors. Survivors include two daughters, Sharon (Daniel) Sullivan of Casper and Joanne (Gerald) Ducker of Webster; one sister, Christine (Elmer) Johnson of Webster; four grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
