Carmitia Bush Woerner was born Feb. 28, 1893, in Peabody, Kan., to Colonel Pleasant and Ida Smock Bush. When she was three years of age she and her family moved by covered wagon to a homestead near Kingfisher in Blaine County, Oklahoma. In 1906 the Bush family moved to Guide Rock, Neb., where Mr. Bush managed the Sands and Bush Sheep Ranch. The family returned to Watonga, Okla., and it was there that Carmitia married Robert B. Woerner on June 26, 1912.
The newlyweds returned to Mr. Woerner's home in Nebraska where they purchased one-half section of the El Captian Rancho from Mr. Woerner's father. The couple built a home on this property where they resided most of their married life and reared their four children. Mr. and Mrs. Woerner retired to a home in Bostwick, where they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. After their children were grown they traveled extensively by car throughout the United States and Mexico. Mr. Woerner died in 1968 so Mrs. Woerner sold the home and moved to an apartment in Superior. She maintained a partnership with her three sons who managed her farms.
Her lifetime experiences spanned various modes of transportation ranging from covered wagon, horse and buggy, Model T, train, helicopter and finally to jet plane when she visited Hawaii in 1973.
Mrs. Woerner was a member of the Methodist Church in Superior and later transferred her membership to the Superior First United Presbyterian Church where two of her sons are members. She was also an active member of the Bostwick Methodist Kensington. She enjoyed her associations in several social and service organizations. Following in the tradition of her mother, she joined the Eastern Star, Olive Chapter and received her 50-year membership pin in 1968. She was an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Kitkihaki Chapter in which she served as registrar and organist several years and as regent in 1947 and 1948. In 1973 she was presented her 50-year pin and continued her membership throughout her life. She was a member of the Rebekah Lodge and cherished her friendship and thoughtfulness of her Rebekah brothers and sisters. Other long time memberships which she enjoyed were the North West Country Club, Bostwick Homemakers and Superior Women's Club. She served as chairman of the Nuckolls County Red Cross Bloodmobile and for several years she was secretary of the Farmers Union Local. In 1953 and 1954 she was chairman of the Nuckolls County Extension Clubs and was honored at the Homemakers Leadership Recognition Day sponsored by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
Mrs. Woerner like to read, especially history and writings about the development of the United States. In the 1930's she began researching her ancestry and traced nine ancesteral (sic) lines to service in the Revolutionary War. She also documented her family's origin in America to her father's family who came from Holland in 1654. She cherished "old" things and had an extensive collection of bells. Mrs. Woerner liked to sew, play the piano, grow flowers and keep an attractive home. She enjoyed her many friends who usually called her "Mitia" and was devoted to her family.
She died at the Nuckolls County Hospital in Superior May 25 at the age of 83.
Funeral services were Friday afternoon at the Megrue-Price Funeral Hoime (sic) with the Rev. Dwight Kahre officiating. Burial was in the Evergreen Cemetery, Superior.
She is survived by three sons, Mitchell, Pleasant and Robert, jr., and one daughter, Mrs. Carroll M. Carter (Beth) of New Jersey; one sister, Ruth Ann Dunalp, Oklahoma; one brother, Orien J. Bush, California; 11 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
