[42] JOHN HENRY STREIT
[43] Born in the city of Mitchell, in Davison county, South Dakota on the 20th of June, 1918 John Henry was the fifth child of Michael Anton Streit, and Katherine Schemmer.
[44] At age three John's mother became ill with influenza and died. After her death Michael tried to keep the family together, but was unable to cope with his job and caring for the children as well. John's Uncle MAtt and Aunt Theresa came to visit from Algona, Iowa. Since Michael was having such a hard time with his work as a carpenter and trying to keep the family together, it was decided that Matt and Theresa would take the younger children (Kate and John) back to Algona with them. John and Kate lived with their Aunt Kate who had six children of her own to care for.
[45] John attended Loyola University until the outbreak of World War II, at which time he joined the Navy as an officer in the Sea Bees. After indoctrination he was sent to the Pacific Theater of Operations. While in the Navy he attended the University of Wisconsin. After he received his honorable discharge from the Navy, he returned to college to complete his education and received a Bachelor's degree in civil engineering. John capitalized on the opportunity to become a public health engineer, and moved to Hastings Michigan with the Barry County Health Department to gain field experience.
[46] While in his internship he met his future bride Irene Catherine Wesche, who was also gaining field experience with the public health service in nursing. When he completed his internship he accepted a position with the Wayne County, Michigan Department of Health. In the spring of 1948, he left the Health Department and took a position as a civil engineer in St. Louis, Missouri with the firm of Wallace and Tiernan. In the fall of 1948, he returned to Hastings to marry Irene.
[47] IRENE CATHERINE WESCHE
[48] Born on the 28th of January, 1918 in Ridgeville Corners, Ohio. Irene was the fifth child of Carl John William Wesche and Emma Renetta Breininger. The Wesche's were active members of the Local Missouri Synod Lutheran Church.
[49] Irene attended public grade and high school in Ridgeville Corners. During the summers she worked odd jobs, mowing lawns, and cleaning houses, helping out where she could. After graduation from high school in 1935, she went to work for the Ridgeville Corners Mutual Telephone Company, as the local exchange's operator. She left the telephone company and worked as a maid at the Oberlin/Ford Funeral Home in Bryan, Ohio. In 1938, at the suggestion of Ernest and Thelma Bermann, Irene borrowed $125.00 and started nurse's training at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After graduation from nurse's training, a three year program, in the spring of 1941 she took a position as a public health nurse in Fort Wayne.
[50] After the outbreak of World War II, she enlisted into the Army Nursing Corps, and was indoctrinated at Fort Benjamin Harrison, in Indianapolis, Indiana. After completing her indoctrination, she was posted to Ashford General Hospital, in White Sulfur Spring, West Virgina, where she was schooled in anesthesiology. Upon completion of her anesthesiology training, she was posted to the 122nd General Hospital in Hereford England, where she worked in the surgical unit. In late 1945 she was honorably discharged from the Army and returned to a position with the visiting nurses service in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
[51] In Fort Wayne she continued her nursing education through extension courses, and eventually earned enough credits to work on her degree full time at the University of Indiana, in Bloomington. To complete her degree in education, majoring in public health nursing she was required to spend a four month period gaining field experience. For this purpose she interned at the Barry County, Michigan Public Health Department. While there she encountered a young public health engineer named John Streit, who would eventually become her spouse. Upon completion of her field experience, she graduated and returned to work for the Barry County Health Department. In July of 1948 John and Irene were engaged. Irene studied and converted to the Catholic religion that summer, severely straining relationships with her immediate family. In the meantime John took a position in the Wayne County Public Health Service. Occasionally, during this period the two would meet for U of Michigan football games, or rendezvous at a restaurant in Marshall Michigan. Their courtship resulted in their marriage on September 2, 1948.
[52] FAMILY HISTORY:
[53] John Henry Streit and Irene Catherine Wesche were wed by Father Dillon at St. Rose Parish in Hastings, Michigan on September 2nd, 1948. Irene's maid of honor was Clara Coressel her only catholic friend from Ridgeville, and Johns Best man was his cousin John F. Streit. After their marriage took up residence in St. Louis, Missouri where John was working for the firm of Wallace and Tiernan. Irene accepted a job with the Visiting Nurse Service of St. Louis.
[54] In the spring of 1949, Wallace and Tiernan, requested John to take a one month engineering assignment performing a civil engineering job for the flour mills in Colorado. So John and Irene travelled to Denver, Colorado and after one month the company requested john to relocate permanently to Denver. They rented an apartment at 1120 S. Logan St. Denver. Irene worked for the Visiting Nurse Service in Denver until becoming pregnant with their first child in December of 1949. They saved their money diligently and were able to purchase a home at 2905 Locust Street Denver, Colorado in the spring of 1950.
[55] On August 31st, 1950 Irene gave birth to the couples first child, a bouncing baby boy - James Anton. Both parents were overjoyed with the new arrival. The family grew again quickly - on November 24th, 1951 Irene gave birth to the couples second son John Edward.
[56] During this time John continued working for Wallace and Tiernan, travelling extensively throughout the Rockies, engineering chemical and gas feed equipment installations. John and Irene also volunteered some of their spare time to Cure'd Ars Catholic church, John as an Usher, and Irene washing altar linens.
[57] On August 5th, 1955, in St Luke's Hospital, Denver Colorado the couple had their first and only daughter Charlotte Kay. She weighed in at 6 lbs, and 6 ozs and was 19" long. Charlotte was christened at Cure'd Ars parish on August 20th. John couldn't believe that the couple had a baby girl.
[58] In 1963 the family moved to a house at 2820 South Jay Street, Denver, Colorado. In 1964 Irene decided it was time to return to her career in nursing and took refresher courses to obtain her Nursing accreditation and worked part-time at Porter Hospital in Denver with the nursing staff. John meantime accepted a position engineering water treatment and sewage plants for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
[59] On 13 February, 1967 John Henry had a heart attack while bowling in Littleton, Colorado. He was buried in Fort Logan Cemetery, Denver, Colorado on 16 February.
[60] In 1967 Irene was employed by the Denver Public School System as a School Nurse. She retired from her nursing career in 1985.
