Emma was born March 26, 1921 in Wishek, ND, the daughter of Henry and Phillippina (Bauer) Rueb. She grew up and attended school in Wishek. At an early age, she developed a love for music and she played for church and took piano lessons in elementary school and Hawaiian guitar while working in Minneapolis for a time. Emma met William Peltz through an Assembly of God conference in North Dakota. They were married on October 3, 1946 in Wishek, ND. To this union, 2 sons, Tim and Steve were born. Shortly after being married, the couple purchased a farm in the Bluegrass area and farmed there until 1985. Emma worked alongside Bill and Bill often said she was the best hired hand he ever had. After retiring in 1991, they purchased their home in Glen Ullin. William passed away in 2005 and Emma moved to Marian Manor in June 2013. Emma had a wonderful sense of humor. She loved people and was very hospitable. She enjoyed playing Rummikub and bingo during senior activities. Emma was independent, civic minded and generous to her community.

She also spent much time volunteering in the community, serving on the Board for Keen Camp at Devils Lake and the Glen Ullin Senior Center, playing piano for the “Germans from Russia Heritage Society,” delivering Meals on Wheels, and she also strongly supported the Hillcrest Orphanage.
