Memorials may be made in her name to St. Paul Lutheran Congregation or Tripoli Nursing and Rehab. Ruth Emilie, daughter of John C. and Emilie (Foelske) Ruehs was born September 29, 1918, in Maxfield Township of rural Bremer County, Iowa. She was baptized into the Lutheran faith at home by Pastor Louis Yockey and confirmed by Pastor Yockey at Immanuel Lutheran in Klinger, Iowa on March 20, 1932. Ruth attended country school in Franklin Township and parochial school at Immanuel Lutheran through eighth grade. She helped her parents on the farm and was employed in various homes in and around Tripoli. On February 19, 1939, Ruth was united in marriage with Carl H. Schwemm at St. John's Lutheran Church-Western Douglas by Pastor Richard Steege. Ruth and Carl farmed in Douglas Township from 1939 to 1969, before moving to Tripoli in 1969. While living in Tripoli, she was employed as a custodian at the Tripoli Town Hall and later worked at the Bremer County Care Facility until 1978. Ruth remained in her home in Tripoli until moving in to the nursing home in 2005. She was a charter member of the Women's Organization at St. Paul's Lutheran Church-Siegel where she held many offices. Ruth enjoyed being active in the church, quilting, visiting with friends and growing flowers, but most especially, she cherished the time spent with family and watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow up.
