Miss Klatt
Oleta Augusta Klatt died Nov. 25, 2006 at Hamilton. Graveside funeral services were held Nov. 28 in Oakwood Cemetery
at Hamilton with Pastor Russell Nebhut officiating.
She was born on Jan. 11, 1914, the daughter of Karl and Anna Klatt.
When she was very young, Miss Klatt was baptized into Christ and as a child of God she lived with the assurance
of God's grace and forgiveness.
The Klatt family were members of the Aleman community where they attended St. Paul Lutheran Church. When she was
14 years old, she stood before Pastor Moerbe and the members of St. Paul and con-fessed her faith in Christ. For
a confirmation verse Pastor Moerbe chose Romans 1:16 for Oleta; For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the
power of God for salvation to every-one who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek
She attended school in Ale-man and upon graduating she moved to San Marcus and at-tended Southwest Texas State
Teachers College. She became a teacher in Post.
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Miss Klatt joined the United States Navy. She was stationed in Florida
where she worked in a Naval Hospital, caring for the wounded soldiers who returned home from the war. By the time
World War Two had ended, Oleta had obtained the rank of Pharmacist Mate First Class.
When she was discharged from the Navy, Miss Klatt enrolled in the University of Texas and obtained her Master's
Degree in chemistry. She went to work for a hospital in Corpus Christi, and after a few years she made the transition
to M. D. Anderson hospital in Houston where she worked for 25 years until she retired.
Throughout her life Miss Klatt was fascinated with hunt-ing for fossils and unique rock formations. She traveled
all over the southern part of America and even into Mexico on expeditions.
After she retired from M. D. Anderson Oleta remained busy helping the residents of the local Veterans Hospital
in Houston. Over the years she knitted hundreds of items for use by the residents.
Miss Klatt was an avid base-ball fan, attending the home games of the Houston Astros. At the same time, she enjoyed
the challenge of learning from the past as well as current events. She was a member of a very exclusive book club
in Houston. The group would select a book to study together which covered a broad spectrum of history, from Plato
and Aristotle to the more recent Harry Potter books.
When it became too difficult for her to live on her own, she moved to an assisted living center in Houston. She
later decided to move closer to her family, returning to Hamilton County a year ago and becoming a resident of
Forest Ridge Care Center where she lived through the end of her life. Upon returning to Hamilton she joined St.
John Lutheran in Hamilton when she enjoyed participating in the services in the nursing homes and the Sr. Services
held at the church.
Miss Klatt spent her life working and devoting her life to seeking to help others. Be-cause of this, she never
married. She was very close to her extended family and when the need arose she was very generous with them. She
was the last of her family to pass away.
She was preceded by her parents, Karl (Charles) Frederich Klatt and Anna Marie (Polei) Klatt; her two brothers,
Herbert and Auline; her two sisters, Vera Enderbrock and Cora Terry.
She is survived by her brother Auline's wife Mabel Klatt of Aleman and many nieces, and nephews.
