Gerald was born September 14, 1940 in rural Dodge County to Adolf and Emma ‘Havekost’ Stover. He was raised on the home place east of Uehling and graduated from Uehling High School. After high school, he farmed with his dad and two brothers and also served in the Nebraska Air National Guard. He married Janis Ruwe on May 2, 1965. They lived together on their farm southeast of Uehling for 60 years before recently moving into Fremont. They raised four children on the farm. In addition to farming, he worked for Alfred Egbers.
