Simon Kuehn was born north of Burt, ND on November 12, 1917 to Simon and Wilhelmina (Netzer) Kuehn. He grew up working on the family homestead helping his dad farm the land and raise and break horses. He continued to live on that farm in Hettinger County all of his life. After his dad passed away, he farmed with his brother Albert until 1950.
On June 20, 1950 he married Esther Veitz of New Leipzig, daughter of Fred and Anna Veitz. They then purchased the farm and worked side by side. Simon and Esther were able to celebrate 61 years of marriage this summer. They have one daughter, ReMae, born on September 29, 1954.
Simon enjoyed working with farm equipment to raise grain and cattle. He had a love for animals which showed by how they would eagerly answer his call. He enjoyed fishing, trapping, and trips to Minnesota. He was always interested in watching the weather and hoping for the best. Simon spent his life as a quiet, kind and caring, lovable man.
On August 26, 2011 he entered St. Alexius Hospital and was later transferred to Kindred Hospital in Mandan where he passed away on September 24, 2011.
Simon is survived by his wife, Esther, one daughter, ReMae, of Mandan and many nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his mother and father; three brothers, John, Henry, and Albert; four sisters, Emma Roessler, Martha Boknecht, Minnie Stelter, and Tillie Weickum; his mother and father-in-law; and two brothers-in-law, Walter Veitz and Harlan Veitz.
Visitation will be 1:00 to 7:00pm on Thursday at the Evanson-Jensen Funeral Home in Mott and on Friday one hour prior to services at Trinity Lutheran Church.
