Carl Neth, son of John and Barbara (Gall) Neth, was born on December 7, 1907. Carl grew up in rural Scotland on the family farm homesteaded by his grandfather. He was baptized and confirmed in the Odessa Lutheran Church in rural Scotland. He married Ruth Gemar on September 16, 1932. Carl and Ruth raised their daughter, Norma, on the family farm where he continued to farm until 1970 when he sold the farm to his nephew, Elmer Neth, and moved to the city of Scotland. During his life, Carl served on a local rural school board and numerous boards and commissions related to rural and agricultural concerns. All through his life, he was an active member of Bethany Reformed Church and later the Scotland United Church of Christ. He served on the consistory of both Bethany Reformed Church and the Scotland U.C.C. He also served as a member on the building committee for the Scotland U.C.C. Carl continuously volunteered for many extra tasks around the church building and grounds. After moving to town in 1970, he worked for Redi-Mix and Cargill for a number of years. He developed a liking for wood refinishing, which he continued to do until 1999. He had many interests and enjoyed music, traveling and gardening. Carl was always willing to lend a helping hand. He had a very keen memory and was a storehouse of local history. His church and his faith were always very important in his life. Carl became very aware of what a great asset the Scotland Good Samaritan Center was to the community when his wife, Ruth, entered the center following a stroke. For almost 4 years, he faithfully visited her every day, especially in the evening, until her death in April 2000. Shortly following Ruth's death, Carl moved into the Good Samaritan Assisted Living Center that had newly opened. He was a textbook advocate for the Good Samaritan Center.
Carl is survived by his daughter, Norma (Henry) Heinbuch of Burnsville, Minnesota; three grandchildren: Kevin, Denise and Janelle; three great-granddaughters: Nicole, Bethany and Alexa; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Ruth, his parents, four brothers and six sisters.
