Joe was born March 17, 1924, son of William J. and Clara Steinmitz Baumchen. He grew up in the Maple Hill/ St. Marys area, graduating from St. Marys High School in 1942. Joe began farming with his dad, purchasing the family farm north of Emmett in 1951. Joe first saw Roberta DeVader at Holy Cross church in Emmett, noticing the “pretty girl who sat in the front row” with her family. They later met at a dance at the St. Marys’ Armory. They were married February 27, 1954. They began their married life in Emmett, buying their farm north of Emmett in 1957.

Joe continued as an active contributor to the Baumchen farming operation consulting with Bill until his final days.

This included the construction of 33 dams on cross creek which helped to prevent flooding on cropland and the community of Rossville. This endeavor dramatically changed farming operations throughout the Cross Creek valley. He served as president for many years.
