Peter & Paul Cemtery, rural Harper, Iowa
KEOTA- Isabelle E. Baker, age 88, of Keota, IA, passed peacefully into eternal life on February 16, 2012 at Halcyon House in Washington surrounded by her family following declining health. Isabelle was born July 22, 1923, in Plank Township, Sigourney, IA, the third child of Zeno and Edna (Horras) Hammes. She grew up in a loving home and learned at a young age what joy it brought to care for others and to always put your life in God’s hands. She attended a one room country school until fourth grade, when she was deemed old enough to ride the four and one-half miles on horseback to S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic School, where she graduated. Isabelle helped her father farm during World War II while her brother was in the service. She also worked at the Rest Haven Nursing Home in Sigourney. On November 27, 1946, she became the bride of Alva Baker. They were married at S.S. Peter & Paul’s Catholic Church in rural Harper, IA. Isabelle and Alva were given the gifts of five children. Each of them would tell you they had the best mother on earth.
Those left to mourn her passing are four children: Robert & wife Marcia of Leesburg, Virginia, Richard and wife Barbara of Keota, Thomas and wife Donna of Richland and Brenda Vittetoe and husband Robert of Washington; son-in-law Marlin Greiner of Keota; 18 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren. She is survived by one brother, Bernard Hammes of Sigourney and one sister, Mary L. Hahn of Sigourney.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, daughter: Bonnie Greiner, great grandson: Kolten Kingsbury, brother: Donald Hammes and a sister Marjorie Striegel.
Isabelle was a hard-working homemaker with many talents. Her skills shined as an excellent cook, baker and seamstress. The number of afghans and baby quilts she made was endless. She helped piece and hand quilt many quilts for the church raffles and for each of the family members. She gave expression to her love for beauty, nature and farming by creating cherished and skillfully made handcrafts and by cultivating an extensive vegetable and flower garden. Family, neighbors and friends all have reminders of her many talents that she shared lovingly with all that she encountered. Most of all, she enjoyed and valued her time with her children, grand and great grandchildren to whom she was always a living example of God’s love. She was a lifelong member of the S.S. Peter & Paul Church(later referred to as Holy Trinity), a member of the Altar & Rosary Society and the Church Choir. She served on the Parish Council, was a religious educator, and a sacristan for the church for many years. Life took a different turn for Isabelle after a devastating stroke in 2008, but she somehow graciously accepted her fate and was deeply appreciative of the kindness given to her by all the staff at the Halcyon House the past 3 ½ years. While not being able to converse post stroke, she actively communicated her love abundantly with others through her smile, gentle touch and actions of her faith filled life. A woman of dynamic and deep faith, she committed her life to caring for her family and was always available to share her many talents and gifts with those in need. Isabelle was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and remained at the center of her family’s heart. She was a source of great faith, strength, inspiration and most of all, a reflection of God’s love to all she encountered.
Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, February 20, 2012, at Holy Trinity Parish - St. Mary Catholic Church in Keota, with Rev. Charles Fladung officiating.

Constant Buch Sr. died at his home in Clear Creek Township at 8:30 P.M. Sunday April 5, 1908 at the age of 75 years, 10 months and 25 days.
Hardly anyone knew the old man was sick. He was a man very well thought of by his neighbors. The funeral was held at Clear Creek Church on Wednesday April 8 at 10:00 A.M. In charge of the service was pastor Rev. Henry Sendbehler assisted by Rev. Peiffer and Rev. Grothe.
Mr. Buch was born in the country of Tensdorf, Germany. He came to America in December 1855. He was tailor by trade and also school teacher, receiving his first certificate to teach from Rev. D. V. Smock. In 1858 he was married to Magdalena Streit and to this union was born 11 children. Six of whom survive, as follows. (Anna) Mrs. Peter Hammes, Constant P. Buch, Miss Mary Buch, (Margaret) Mrs. Paul S. Peiffer, (Susan) Mrs. John A. Peiffer and Peter L. Buch.
Mr. Buch was always a prominent man in business matters, filling for office of Assessor of Clear Creek
Township four years and that of township clerk ten years in succession. We hope the children may be influenced by their father’s worth example.
He also taught shool at Clear Creek. When there was no priest on Sunday, he led prayer service.
