Agnes Elizabeth Sether was born April 2, 1924 to Carl Oscar and Anna Anderson on a farm in Antrim Township, Watonwan, MN. She grew up in the country there attending country school at age 6. When she was 7 they moved to a farm near Petersburg, MN, where she attended country school again. When they moved back to the city of Jackson she attended Jackson Public School in 1933, graduating in 1942. She was proud of her schooling and often talked about the small number of classmates and her long walks to and from the country schools as a small child.
When she graduated school she started working in the Rations Office for Jackson County. On October 5, 1942, she married Milton G. Schlager in the St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, now Church of the Good Shepherd, in Jackson. Milton and Agnes moved to Massachusetts from 1946 to 1947 where Milton was stationed with the U.S. Army, where she worked at H. H. Proctor as a sales clerk. They returned to Jackson and Agnes was a stay-at-home mom with two children. They continued to build their family. Milton and Agnes had six children they loved very much. She lost the love of her life when Milton died in 1959 and Agnes continued to live in their home with their six small children.
Agnes worked many jobs during her life in Jackson. Among them, she was a line worker at the Jackson Hemp Plant, sales clerk at J.C. Penney, bookkeeper at Kable Motor Company, secretary for Judge Kreger, Probate Court and clerk typist for Jackson County Social Services. In most recent years she worked as a housekeeper for SMOC which she enjoyed immensely because of the friendships and camaraderie with her children. Agnes was a member of the VFW Women's Auxiliary, American Legion and Jackson County Historical Society for many years.
On November 4, 1966 she married Clarence H. Sether Jr. They and the four youngest of her children lived on the Sether family farm until he retired from farming due to health issues in about 1984. Agnes and Clarence then moved back to Agne's home in Jackson. Clarence passed away in 1987 and Agnes continued to live at 401 Dewey Street until recently when she moved to Fairway Pines Assisted Living in Sauk Centre, MN. Although her stay there was short, she loved living there and enjoyed playing cards, bingo, puzzle books and dancing to the music entertainers provided there.
Agnes passed away peacefully Saturday, February 22, 2014 in hospice care at the CentraCare Hospital in Sauk Centre.
She was proud of her family and looked forward to their visits. She loved life and especially spending time with her grandchildren as they grew up. Agnes kept every picture of everyone of them.
