Walter Delmar Ketterling
Walter Delmar Ketterling was born at the family home north of Zeeland, North Dakota on October 5, 1938, the son of Otto and Othelia (Meidinger) Ketterling. He attended rural school and worked on the farm. He met the love of his life, Evangeline Sayler and they were married December 9, 1963 in Lehr, North Dakota. They made their home in Artas, South Dakota for about 2 years and moved to the family farm north of Zeeland where they had a dairy and farming business. Walter and Evangeline moved to Wishek, North Dakota in 2003 where he retired. Walter was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend.
