Erdmuth Kusler, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Fried) Kusler was born October 10, 1929 on the family homestead near Artas, SD. She attended grade school in Artas and graduated from Eureka High School with the class of 1948. She worked at the Eureka Community Hospital as a nurse’s aide.
She was united in marriage to Harvey Delzer on December 3, 1950 in Eureka Evangelical United Brethren Church. They made their home in Washington, D.C. and Norfolk, VA while her husband was in the army. They moved back to Eureka in 1952. They began dairy farming and in 1958 quit milking but continued to raise small grains and beef cattle. They retired in 1992.
Erdie and Harvey enjoyed wintering in Weslaco, Texas for ten years. Music was very important to her; she enjoyed playing the piano and loved singing. She gardened flowers and vegetables and nothing was as important to her as her family, church and the Lord.
