Agnes Wiedrich was born August 26, 1922 to Otto and Ida (Erdman) Mettler.   Her baptism was at Trinity Lutheran Church and confirmed March 26, 1937 by Pastor Schaffer.  She attended grade school at Kroenthal and high school in Hazen and Stanton, North Dakota.  Before marrying, she worked as a telephone operator in Beulah and Stanton, North Dakota.  On March 15, 1942 she married Gottlieb (Guy) Wiedrich.  After Gottlieb's discharge from the navy, they owned/operated the Main Bar in Beulah, North Dakota for 10 years. They then moved to Minot, North Dakota, and owned/operated the Ranch Motel and Empire Motel.  After selling the motels, they became involved in real estate development/investment.  In 1974, they decided to move back to Beulah and continue with real estate development.

    In Minot, she was a member of the African Violet Club.  Her love of flowers continued when she moved to Beulah through her flower and vegetable gardens. She enjoyed cooking, entertaining, fishing, sewing, crocheting and quilting.  Her greatest joy/love, though, was caring for her family and continued to expand to include grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

    In Minot, she was a member of St. Paul Missouri Synod Lutheran Church.  She was active in the LWML holding various offices, taught Sunday school, sang in the choir and attended bible study classes.  She supported her husband in various church duties and her children in various church activities. 

When living in Beulah, she continued to be an active member of the Concordia Missouri Synod Lutheran Church.  Her faith in God brought her peace, strength, and was a guiding light throughout her life.
