St. Albert Catholic Church

Know Your Parishioner: 



Hello.  My name is Emma Baureis.  My birthplace was San Antonio, Texas and was I born on July 27, 1942.  My parents, Natalio and Hortencia Chapa moved me and my sister to Findlay, Ohio in 1946 where my father obtained work at Cooper Tire Company and eventually retired from them.  I attended St Michael Catholic Church and school through the 8^th grade and graduated from Findlay Senior High School in 1960.  Shortly, thereafter, I enlisted with the Women’s Army Corp for 2 years (at that time that was the enlistment period for women).  My MOS was Court Stenographer so, after Basic Training, I was sent to Fort Benjamin Harrison to Stenography School.  My permanent post was Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.  In addition to documenting Court Martials, I was privileged to be chosen by the Inspector General of the Fifth Battalion to be his personal administrative assistant and traveled with him throughout his Command during his inspections.  I met my husband, Lawrence (Lon) Baureis in 1961 who was also stationed at Ft Leonard Wood.  We were married on September 15^th, 1962 at St Cletus Church in La Grange, Illinois.  Many of you may remember his parents, Laurie and Rita Baureis who were also members of St Albert Church.   May 3, I970, Lon and I arrived in Heber Springs, from LaGrange, Illinos with our 3 children, Angela, Lonnie and Charles.  Lon ran the Helpee Selfee Laundry until we purchased Ozark Wood Products here in Heber Springs.  I began my own business and named it Foothills Business Service.  We moved to Heber Springs just in time to attend the dedication of St Albert Church that June and have been members ever since.  During this time, we had 3 more children, Nathaniel, Joseph and Nicholas.  My favorite past time is to spend time with our family and celebrating the big and little joys in life.  We are proud of our 6 children and their families.  We now call 19 children our grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.  We are proud that we will celebrate our 56^th year of marriage.  I personally feel blessed that our church community has given me the opportunity to share my talents and strengths here at St Albert Catholic Church.  Being of service to my Church is such a big part of my life and I pray I can continue to so.
