| Hofert | Earl J., Jr. | 08/17/1922 | 04/14/2009 | Brownsburg, IN | Earl J. Hofert, Jr. Wednesday, April 15, 2009 Whenever Earl Hofert traveled, he filled the small spaces in his datebook with meticulous notes. "Motored 150 miles today. Weather breezy and sunny. Ham sandwich for lunch." His letters to his nieces and nephews paid the same attention to detail. "Temp. on lanai: 75 degrees. Pool warmer, at 82." It was that penchant for paying heed to every small detail that made the B-17 pilots of the Army Air Force 398th Bombardment Group in World War II so indebted to him. Mr. Hofert served in Nuthampton, England, with unparalleled dedication on a ground crew that made sure the planes were safe and sound. "Many times they worked all night on the plane to have it ready to go the next morning," said pilot Paul Roderick, veteran of 32 missions. To be closer to the planes, Roderick said, the ground crew "built a little shack alongside of our parking space and lived there instead of the 'Tin Hut' where they were assigned." Years later, Roderick and other pilots and their families embraced Mr. Hofert as a hero at reunion gatherings of the 398th, which he attended faithfully, including the most recent reunion in September. "He was one of the rare and true gentle men," said Sharon Krause, Roderick's daughter and also reunion organizer for the bomb group. Earl J. Hofert, Jr., 86, a gentle, modest man with a pride for detail, a delightful sense of humor and a special fondness for his nieces and nephews and their families, died in Indianapolis on April 14, 2009 at St. Vincent Hospice. The son of Earl Jacob Hofert, Sr., and Lena Marie Strietelmeier was born Aug. 17, 1922 at the family's country home in Linton, Indiana. He attended Linton High School and studied engineering for a year at Purdue University before joining the Army. After World War II, he returned to Purdue to graduate with an engineering degree in 1949. He remained active in the Purdue alumni group, attending meetings in Indiana and Florida during his retirement years. After graduation from Purdue, he took a job with Indiana Power and Light in Indianapolis, and then worked for Link Belt Bearing Division, retiring from Link Belt after a long career there. He spent many winters in Bradenton, Florida, before moving back again home to Indiana to live fulltime in Brownsburg. Mr. Hofert was an avid Indiana history buff, volunteering regularly at the Indiana State Museum, starting at the old location on Alabama Street in Indianapolis and proudly showing visitors around the museum's current home in White River State Park, pointing out the old toys and other items of interest. Throughout his life he enjoyed wooden toys and puzzles and passed along that love to his great-nieces and -nephews, delighting in sharing items he bought them from the state museum, the Indiana State Fair and Cracker Barrels he visited on his travels. He was a member of the Scottish Rite and St. Peter's United Church of Christ in Carmel. Mr. Hofert is survived by his beloved family: His two sisters, Dorothy Letterman Mengering (Hans) of Carmel and Hazel Baughman of Kokomo; three nephews: David Letterman (Regina), Carl Baughman and Alan Baughman (Sue); three nieces, Janice Letterman Millholland, Carol Baughman Sulanke (Thom) and Gretchen Letterman (Bill Shelton); five great nephews: Bill Millholland, John Baughman, Daniel Baughman, Liam Letterman Shelton and Harry Letterman; three great nieces, Bryn Millholland Mooth, Sara Baughman Colvard and Annagrace Letterman Shelton; great-great niece, Maria Rose Colvard; and step-grandson, Brian Bradshaw. He is also survived by his dear friend Marge Ashby and special caregivers Emily and Brad Rockwood and Angie and Rob Hovermale. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday (April 17) at Flanner and Buchanan Mortuary, 325 E. Carmel Drive, Carmel. A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Zion Evangelical United Church of Christ, 416 E. North St., Indianapolis. Graveside services will follow at Fairview Cemetery in Linton. | |

| Moehlmann | Sue A. | 05/03/1950 | 04/20/2009 | Kingston, NY | Sue A. Moehlmann Tuesday, April 21, 2009 Sue A. Moehlmann died peacefully on Monday, April 20, at Benedictine Hospital in Kingston, NY, after a courageous year-long battle with colon cancer. She was born May 3, 1950, in Linton, Indiana, the beloved first child of Vera (Herron) and Harold Moehlmann, and they survive. Sue graduated from Linton-Stockton High School in 1968. While married, she lived in Memphis, TN and Pensacola, FL. Upon her return to Linton, she worked many years for Polly & Frank Miller in their photography & framing business. She also worked for the Linton Daily Citizen in its photography department. In her mid 30's, Sue realized her dream of going to college and received a Master of Science Degree in the Department of Apparel Merchandising & Interior Design with a Concentration of Historical Costume, along with an Associates Degree in Costume Construction Technology, from Indiana University. Sue's family wishes to acknowledge her favorite professor, Karla Kunoff, of Bloomington for lifting Sue's life-long love of learning to a new & exciting level. She furthered her education at the University of Arizona where she received a Masters Degree in Fine Arts. Sue's professional career after college took her from coast to coast: The Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts in Santa Maria, CA; The Dallas Opera; SUNY in New Paltz, NY; Playmakers Repertory Company in Chapel Hill, NC; Barat Theatre Department of DePaul University, Lake Forest, IL; and finally, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. These were in addition to her time spent in the Indiana University Theatre Department & Musical Arts Center, as well as the Department of Theatre Arts in Arizona. Her latest creative employment was at Bead Spring in Red Hook, New York, where she taught beading for the last three years. Sue had many passions in her short life, reading and learning being at the top of her list; in fact, she was rarely seen without a book in her hands. She loved music, from folk to the blues, from the Beatles to opera; she loved gardening and cooking with her gardens' bounty; she loved working with her hands in a myriad of ways, from clothing construction to upholstering car interiors, from knitting to her most recent love of beading artistry. Whatever her endeavor, she loved trying a new technique, a new medium, a new idea. Neither her mind nor her hands were ever idle, and she inspired many. In addition to her parents in Linton, Sue is survived by her adoring sister, Terri (Chuck) Bower of Bloomington; aunts, Jean Herron of Indianapolis, Helen Rhodenbeck & Margaret Moehlmann, aunt and uncle Patty and Alfred Moehlmann, all of Linton, and eleven cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, three uncles, one aunt, & one cousin. Sue leaves behind many friends across the country as well, but none so dear as her childhood friend, Cindy Winters Fisher with whom she shared the joys of her youth; Brian Madsen & Brian Lee who provided Sue with love, the joy of canine companions, Casey & Chase and a beautiful view from her window; Beth Johnson whose love & attention were an elixir, and the dearest of all, Wendy Livingston whose devotion to Sue this last year was unequalled. Wendy not only provided the necessities, from food to transportation, but most importantly, the gifts of her time, her wisdom and her joy of life. Funeral service will be conducted at the Welch & Cornett Funeral Home in Linton at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 25, 2009 with Rev. Mike Roth officiating. Burial will follow at the Fairview Cemetery in Linton. Visitation will be on Friday from 4-7 p.m., and after 9 a.m. until the time of service Saturday.

She passed from this world peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones. God saw Ruth getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around her and whispered "come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched her, and saw her pass away, and though we love her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands were put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us... he only takes the best. Eleanor "Ruth" was born on Sept. 30, 1935 in Sandborn, the daughter of Woodrow and Hilda Mae (Burch) Elkins.

She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother- Mallie Elkins, one sister- Vercie Osborne, one grandson, Specialist Justin Owen Penrod and one granddaughter, Emily Marie Penrod.
