Armin W. Zehr, age 99, of Dubois

Armin was born in Dubois, Indiana, on May 24, 1925, to Charles and Anna (Kalb) Zehr.  He married his wife of almost 74 years, Margaret Bauer on May 8, 1951, at the Hill Church in Dubois, Indiana. 

He was a 1943 graduate of Dubois High School and was a member of their basketball team. He was a lifetime farmer.  He took very good care of his parents, and was adamant about taking care of the family farm and making sure they had a place to live as long as they were living. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Peter’s United Church of Christ in Dubois and became an active member of the church.  He was a member of the Dubois Community Club, Dubois Investment Club, Dubois Park Board, Cattleman’s Association, and member of the Gideon’s for over 50 years.  Armin loved to spread God’s word around the world and to tell others about Jesus; he loved to do this above all else.  He also enjoyed watching IU Basketball and the St. Louis Cardinals.
