Agnes and her husband farmed on the Bauer homestead first located on Silver Creek Road and later on State Highway 42 in the Town of Newton. She was the proud mother of ten children.
Agnes was a farmer most of her life. She milked cows and even drove a team of horses when she was young. She always worked hard, gardening, canning or making homemade bread or homemade soap. Agnes enjoyed her yearly tradition of crocheting Christmas ornaments for every member of the her family. She also made teddy bears for all of her grandchildren. Her family will miss receiving their birthday call every year. She was notorious for recording family history and local history with her camera.

She was also an avid traveler, touring most of the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska as well as Europe.
Agnes also participated in the Newton Volunteer Fire Fighters Parade where for more than 27 years, she walked and biked in costumes she designed and made herself. According to the local newspapers, Agnes was considered the heart of the Newton Parade. Each day, Agnes started with a bike ride or a walk, followed by her prayers. Her faith was very important to her. She always reminded her family to say "Thank you to God every day". When three of her sons were serving in Vietnam, she kept three candles burning until their return.
Agnes was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Newton. She was an avid polka dancer and enjoyed her music. Her family will miss her Christmas parties and Mother's Day get-togethers, often with more than 100 family members at her house.
