He served in Attu in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. He was married to Wilma Opp on December 1, 1946 at Eureka, South Dakota, following his honorable discharge from the U. S. Army. In October of 1947 the couple purchased the Calvin Mehlhaff farm located two and one-half miles south of Eureka where they actively farmed until it became necessary to discontinue due to Orville's diabetes, sight loss and eventual total kidney failure. From April, 1983 he had continual dialysis treatment twice weekly at the V.A. Hospital, Minneapolis, then three times weekly at St. Luke's Hospital traveling 500 miles weekly to Aberdeen. In October 1983 he had his first kidney transplant at the V. A. Hospital in Minneapolis which again had to be removed ten days later due to a blood clot in the kidney. In August of 1983 our new home was started in Eureka which we moved into on November 11, 1983. In December of that year our own dialysis unit was installed by the V. A. His dialyist was Carla Rohrbach until he received his second kidney transplant in October 1984. Six months later our home dialysis unit was removed from our home and placed in the local clinic where it is currently being utilized by Julius Boschee, Zeeland. Our room was then converted into a fourth bedroom in the lower level. Since then to the present, Orville has had repeated surgeries for abdominal infection and had cataract surgery and a lens implant done in January of 1986 with hopes of having the same done in the other eye in April of 1986.

| 2959 | BIOGRAPHY: http://www.genealogy.com/users/c/h/r/David-Alan-Christianson/FILE/0004text.txt PAULINE OPP Our parents, Jacob and Dora (Weller) Opp, had established a farm home ten miles southwest of Eureka where we children attended school in Jackson District. They had built up a large farm with herds of cattle and bounteous crops. Our dad passed away at the early age of 39 years after a brief illness from double pneumonia, as Dr. Gerdes diagnosed it. It was in the middle of winter and a very sad and difficult year for the family of five young children: Lydia (deceased), Barbara, Pauline, Milbert, and William (deceased). Our mother later married Jacob Kramlich to whom were born Otto Harry, D.D.S. (deceased) and Erna Lizbeth (Betty) Swanson, a teacher. At a young age, I was hired out around the neighborhood and in town to help with household tasks and serve as babysitter--a job I adhere to still. During the threshing season I practically moved with the threshing rig from farm to farm to help cook for threshers and take care of the children. After moving to town, I accepted the request to start work in the hospital where I was later assigned to the maternity ward. We always had a nursery full of babies and both floors occupied with patients. In February, 1954, seventeen babies were born, eleven in one week! In 1962 I was awarded a diploma after completing a course in Practical Nursing. The doctors those earlier years were Mark and Fred Graeber, Dr. Rosdahl, and the indispensable Dr. George McIntosh. The hours were often long and tedious, but it was work I liked, and, by the grace of God, I plodded on for 25-30 years, never missing a day of work because of illness until August, 1969, when I had to submit to major surgery. Since then I have had two more surgical episodes. After our mother died, I moved to an apartment where I still reside. I am a member of one of our A.L.C.W. Circles which was organized in 1962. I was a teacher in Sunday School and Bible School at Zion Lutheran Church for many years--never to be forgotten! Children are God's magical little people, and I've always had a special love for them; perhaps because I never had any of my own, or, perhaps because Jesus said we have to become like children. I am thankful that God is the Shepherd of my life. And God's Word is our great heritage. | Opp, Pauline (I104877)
