His parents were Frank and Mary (Clemens) Almeter, both of whom were born in Belgium. The father, who was a blacksmith, died in April, 1870, and the mother in 1874.

Those now living are: John, residing in Portland, Ore.; Louis F. of Los Angeles, Calif.; George F., of Texarkana, Ark.; Lena, wife of Mike Curry, of Rogers, Minn.; and Nicholas J., of Mazeppa.

In 1884, he settled in Mazeppa, entering the employ of A. J. Taft, a blacksmith, whose partner he subsequently became. After the partnership had lasted six years, Mr. Almeter bought Mr. Taft's interest in the business, which he conducted alone until 1920. He then took his three sons into the firm and the business is now conducted under the name of N. J. Almeter & Sons.
In June 1887, he was united in marriage at Belle Chester, Minn., to Maggie Heber, daughter of Nicholas and Anna (Majerus) Heber, her parents being natives of Luxemburg.

Frank and John each took part in the World War, Frank enlisting from Minnesota and serving 13 months in the United States and France. John served one year, taking part in the fighting in the Argonne Forest, France."
