The accident occurred at 3:30 in the afternoon, and the facts as we have them from the brothers of the dead boy are as follows; Alfred and his brother, Wilbur, were in the same field shucking. Alfred had reached the end of the field and was standing on the side of his wagon getting ready to turn around when he saw his brother's team tearing down the field toward him. As they got opposite his wagon he reached out to stop them, but as he grabbed at them his shucking peg caught in one of the hames of the runaways and he was jerked under them. "In the meantime his own team ran away, and before he could get out of the way both wagons had passed over him. He got onto his feet and walked a distance and at first it was thought that he was not badly hurt, but he was injured internally and died at 6 o'clock the same evening. "Rev. High of the Randolph M.

The remains were taken to the old home near Winslow, where Alfred was laid to rest by the side of his mother, who was called to the Great Beyond last spring.

The winter of '56 having been unusually sever, one half of this flock were lost by drifting snow. He bought and improved 320 acres of good Iowa land. In the year 1861 he came to Logan, Nebraska, and bought half interest in the Logan Mills. From "The Nebraskan": "In 1861 he was in the midst of the Indian scare, his wife, who had not then moved to Nebraska heard that her husband with other frontiersmen had been murdered but the glad tidings of safety and 'false alarm' was received in a few days and there was joy again in that household."

In 1856 with her husband and children she removed to Mills county, Iowa, and in 1866 from there to Dodge county, Nebraska. As one of the pioneer women of the state, she saw many of the hardships and trials of the early days. Her life during her long residence here was like an open book in which can be read obedience to her God, devotion to her family, faithfulness to her friends and charity for all mankind. When but 13 years of age she joined the Methodist Episcopal church and when the church at Hooper was organized she became one of the charter members and remained a consistent member until her death. The very large number at the services Sunday was an eloquent testimonial of the love and esteem in which she was held in the community. Briggs, Mary A. ****************************************************************** Name on Tombstone = George Briggs Dates on Tombstone = 1 Oct 1831 - 12 Mar 1901 Obituary The Hooper Sentinel March 14, 1901 George Briggs, died at his residence in Hooper, Nebr, at 5:30 o'clock Tuesday, March 12th, of cancer of the stomach. He had been in poor health for several years, but it was not until about three weeks ago that he was compelled to remain in the house and for the past ten days was confined to his bed. Mr. Briggs was born in Plymouth, Vermont, October 1st, 1830, and age was therefore 70 years, 5 months and 11 days. He is the last of a family of nine children. When but two years old his parents removed to Michigan and his youth and boyhood was passed in that state until he was twenty years of age when he went to California and Ore. remaining there five years. He then returned to Michigan and later to Mills county, Iowa, where he engaged in farming. March 31st, 1858, he was married to Henrietta A. Dubois who survives him. Four children were born to them, two dying in infancy, Clarence D. Briggs and Mrs. Bertha Ortman surviving and both grown to years of maturity. In the fall of 1864 he removed to Dodge county and took a homestead, near the old Logan mills, and where he continued to reside until about 3« years ago when he turned over the care of the farm - at this time increased to 640 acres - to his son Clarence and came to Hooper to live hoping by taking a rest to benefit his health, but it was of no avail as the deadly disease was too firmly established in his system to be so easily shaken off, and he grew gradually worse until Tuesday when he "entered into rest." He was not a member of any church; he did not believe in creeds and his religion consisted of the broad principles of the Golden Rule, and during his entire life, he so lived up to the principles of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," so strictly that he lived universally respected and died regretted by all. But it is in the home circle that his death will be most severely felt. Always very domestic in his tastes, he was a most affectionate and devoted husband and father, and even during his last hours his thoughts were of the loved ones he knew he must leave. Mr. Briggs was a member of Hooper Lodge No. 72, A.F. & A.M., Sigma Chapter No. 8 of Fremont and Friendship Chapter No 122, O.E.S., all of Hooper, and his funeral services, which will be held today, will be in charge of the Masonic fraternity, Rev. Amos Allen Luce preaching the funeral sermon at the church and, according to his wishes, the remains will be taken to the Logan cemetery for interment there to rest until the resurrection morn.

At that time it consisted of one hundred and sixty acres of wild land. He built a log house, 16x18 feet, in which he lived five years, and then built a frame house, 23x32 feet, with numerous additions, also a good barn, stabling and cribs. He provided his place with a good well of water, to which was attached a wind wheel. A six-acre grove was planted and an orchard of one hundred trees. He has since added to this land until he now has six hundred and forty acres, two hundred and fifty-five of which is under the plow. During his residence in Dodge County he has seen vast changes and undergone many hardships. Many a thrilling incident he relates during the visitation to the country of the grasshopper. George Briggs was born in Vermont, October, 1831. He is a son of Asa and Sarah Briggs, natives of the Green Mountain State, whose eight children were as follows; Clark, Amelia, Daniel, Lydia, Artemesia, Esther, Anson, and George. When he was two years of age his parents went to Kalamazoo County, Michigan, and remained there eighteen years. Our subject then went to California, into the mining country, followed that and teaming three years; then went to Oregon, where he remained but one year. We next find him in California, then in Michigan, and at last in Mills County, Iowa, where he broke prairie and farmed for five years, and then came to Dodge County, Nebraska. He was married, March, 1858, to Henrietta, daughter of Henry and Arminta Dubois, natives of Ohio, our subject's wife being their only child. By this union four children were born; Clarence and Bertha, two dying in infancy. When Clarence was about footmen years of age he and a neighbor boy were out hunting and his comrade accidentally shot him through the arm, by reason of which it had to be amputated. Politically, our subject, like every other intelligent American citizen, has a choice in parties, he favoring the Republican. He belongs to the Hooper Masonic Lodge No. 72, and stands high in the community in which he lives.

Briggs of Broken Bow, a former well known and highly respected resident of Hooper and locality for many years, had passed away Saturday evening at her residence in Broken Bow and that her remains would be brought here for interment in the family lot in Logan cemetery northeast of town. Mrs. Briggs was an old time settler of this community and while living here was active in the affairs of the community and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew her. Though having been gone from here for 25 years she was still well remembered by the many friends of the family in this locality and word of her death was regretfully heard by these friends who now extend sincere sympathy to the family in their hour of bereavement. Her death was due to a paralytic stroke she suffered Friday evening. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Broken Bow on Monday afternoon, these being conducted by Rev. E. A. Baldwin, pastor of the Christian church. The body was brought here Tuesday and interment took place at 2:30 that afternoon in Logan cemetery. She was the first of the third generation of the family to be buried there. The services at the grave were in charge of Friendship chapter No. 122, Order of the Eastern Star of Hooper of which she was a charter member and a past Worthy Matron. The below is the obituary as given at the funeral services: "Emma L., daughter of William and Mary Ann Lee Simms, was born at Greenfield, Green county, Illinois November 1, 1857, and deceased at her home in Broken Bow, Nebraska, April 23, 1932, having lived more than 74 years. She attended school in Greenfield, finishing her education at the St. Louis Mo., normal school thus fitting herself for teaching. She came to Nebraska at the age of 18, and began her work. Her first school was near Fremont, in Dodge county. She taught also at Jalappa and Logan schools in that county, and later at Hooper, Wahoo and Ashland. Thru the summer months she was one of the instructors in the county institutes. More than 50 year ago she became member of the Episcopal church and held to that faith, but was not locally identified with the church here. In her earlier life she espoused the Blue Ribbon crusade, and during the campaign of Fisk and Brooks, spoke at numerous meetings. A consistent temperance advocate, she was always earnestly in favor of the 19th amendment. She became interested in the Woman's Club movement and was active in the organization at Hooper. After moving to Broken Bow she continued her activities in the cause as much as her health would permit. "She was married to Russell L. Briggs June 1, 1882, at Wahoo, Nebraska, with whom she has lived almost a half century, and who survives her. They set up housekeeping in Logan township in Dodge county, where Mr. Briggs was engaged in the milling business and living on a farm. They came to Custer county in 1907, settling on the farm 12 miles south of Broken Bow which they still own. They came to Broken Bow to live in 1926 and have resided here since that time. Four daughters and three sons were born to Mr. and Mrs. Briggs, all of whom survive their mother. They are Mrs. Alta M. Brown, Beatrice; Mrs. Angeline M. Morrison, Lincoln; Frank J., Fremont; Arch L., Alliance; George E., Broken Bow; Mrs. Esther L. Banks, Clark, S. D.; and Miss Mary Lee Briggs, Broken Bow. There are eleven grandsons and three granddaughters. None of her father's family are living. "About eight years ago Mrs. Briggs had a stroke from which she never fully recovered and has had slight recurrences since. Friday of last week about 5 o'clock she was again stricken, and in a few hours was unconscious and never revived, passing on Saturday evening, practically 23 hours after the stroke. "Thus has passed a good wife and mother, and a loyal neighbor. A strong character, with a thoughtful, enquiring mind, and one whose convictions of right were intelligently acquired and firmly held. She has many friends in her home community and in Broken Bow." Briggs, Emma Simms ****************************************************************** Name on Tombstone = Cath Brochmoeller ?

Mrs. Catharine Eisley, aged 67 years, 6 months and 7 days.

In 1859 she came to Nebraska and was united in marriage to Fred Eisley. An only daughter was given to them, who still survives her.

The following item is a brief history of her father. History of the Elkhorn Valley Page 359 Hon. Charles F. Eiseley, one of the leading hardware merchants at Norfolk, was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, July 3, 1838, and emigrated to America in 1852, his brother being the first to establish the family name in this country. He fist located in Dodge County, Nebraska, on Logan Creek. He paid the government price for a quarter section of land and afterwards took a homestead which he partially developed. In 1866 he, with E. H. Clark, represented Washington County , in the Territorial Legislature, held at Omaha. At that meeting the Constitution of the State was formed, and ratified the following year. In 1874 he removed to the village of Hooper, where he opened the first hardware store, and continued to operate the same until 1882. He represented Dodge and Burt counties in the Legislature in 1877 and 1879. In 1882 he removed to Norfolk, and five years later, 1887, was elected as representative of Madison County. It was through his instrumentality that the enlargement of the Insane asylum was made at Norfolk, for which an appropriation of one hundred and seventy- five thousand dollars for the buildings, was obtained. It may truthfully be said that Mr. Eiseley is a self-made man. He received his education in his native country in the public schools, and followed teaching several years, after coming to America. He is deserving of much credit for the manly position he has taken on all public measures. He enlisted as a member of the Second Cavalry during the civil war period at Omaha, and participated in the Indian war; serving one year and was mustered out at Omaha in 1864. In 1865 he was married to Josephine Whitney, a native of Medina County, Ohio. By this union the living children are; Francis, Clyde and Horace. Our subject votes the Republican ticket, feeling assured as he does that by so doing he is best subserving the interests of the people. At the time he came to Nebraska all was one prairie wilderness, and its future brightness had not yet been dreamed of, much less realized. He has lived to see the prairies subdued, school houses scattered in every direction, with church spires pointing skyward. He has lived to see countless manufactories established in the Elkhorn Valley, while railroads cross and recross each other, penetrating every nook and corner of the commonwealth. Over telephone and telegraph wires, man is permitted to carry on conversation through all parts of the State. Surely the age of wonders is upon us.

Kriebel Dates on Tombstone = 28 Jan 1917 - 30 Nov 1927 Obituary The Hooper Sentinel December 8, 1927 Death Comes to Relieve Young Lad of Sufferings The home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur J. Kriebel, of northeast of Hooper, was saddened and darkened last Wednesday, November 30, 1927, when the specter of death entered therein at 8:45 that evening and took from them their only son, Marvin G. H., at the age of 10 years, 10 months and 2 days. A tumor of the brain is ascribed as cause of death. Although ailing practically all of his life, it was not until a year ago that the real seriousness of his condition manifested itself and since then he had been given the best medical attention that loving hands could do for him. About nine months ago blindness came upon him to add to his misfortune. But through it all Master Marvin bore his sufferings with much fortitude and was cheerful in spite of his affliction. Recent treatments were beginning to clear up his vision and reduce the cause of his ailment, but his vitality had become so weakened through his years of illness that he could not further withstand the ravages of the disease and on Wednesday evening went into that sleep that knows no awakening. Master Marvin was born on January 28, 1917, on the farm that had always been his home, and was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Kriebel. Despite his ailment he was a bright and cheerful boy and had regularly attended school until blindness came upon him. That he will be missed by his parents is needless to say, and in the time of their bereavement they have the deepest sympathy of their many friends as they had it during their young son's illness. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon with short services at the Kriebel home at 1:30 and then at the Zions Lutheran church in town, the pastor, Rev. G. F. R. Duhrkop, conducting them. The services were largely attended by relatives and friends, a number of the relatives coming from a distance. Interment was made in the Logan cemetery northeast of Hooper. Kriebel, Marvin G.

It was unintentional on our part and one that we regret. Mr. Langewisch, one of the old settlers of this community, was born in Germany, on February 10, 1839. In the year 1856 he came to America, locating in St. Louis Mo., which place he made his home until 1877, and where he was united in marriage on May 22, 1865, to Miss Mary Winker. In 1877 he and family came to Fontanelle, locating on a farm. He sold this place and in 1881 moved on to the farm in Dodge county, now occupied by his son, Adolf. About eleven years ago he and his wife retired from active farm life and moved to the home in Winslow to enjoy their declining days in the peace and quiet they had deservedly earned. He was the father of sixteen children, eleven of whom are living, and who, with the widow, have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. The children are Mrs. Henry Schroeder of Phoenix, Ariz., Mrs. George Geisler of Lyons, Henry, Edward, Fred, Otto, John, Julius, Adolph, Mrs. Fred Geisler, and Mrs. G. C. Panning of this city.

Lueninghoener. Until he recently retired Henry H. Lueninghoener, a prosperous farmer of Dodge County, was actively engaged in the prosecution of his calling and has been very successful in his operations, having made improvements of practical value on his estate, which is one of the most attractive and productive of any in Hooper Township. A son of the late Peter Lueninghoener, he was born May 30, 1860, in Quincy, Illinois. Born and brought up in Germany, Peter Lueninghoener, impressed by the wonderful stories he had heard of the glorious opportunities afforded the poor man in America, immigrated to the United States at the age of eighteen years, and soon secured work as a farm laborer. He lived in Illinois until 1868, when with his wife and children, he came to Nebraska, bringing with him the $800 he had accumulated by hard work. He came up the river as far as Omaha in a steamboat, and thence made his way to Dodge County, where he bought a tract of wild land. As his means increased, he bought other tracts, becoming owner of 800 acres of farming land ere his death, which occurred when about seven-eight. His wife, Anna Monke, was born in Germany, and as a lass of eighteen years came with her parents to this country. Nine children were born to their marriage, three sons and six daughters, a family of which they could well be proud. Eight years old when he came with his parents to Washington County, Nebraska, Henry H. Lueninghoener well remembers the desolate aspect of the country roundabout, and the arduous toil required of the courageous pioneer ranchmen. Familiar with agricultural work from his youthful days, Mr. Lueninghoener succeeded to the occupation in which he was reared, and at he age of twenty-three years bought the farm which he now owns, and in its management met with unquestioned success, it now being one of the best in regard to its improvements and appointments of any in the neighborhood. He recently turned over the management of the farm to his son, Irvin, and retired to Fremont to live. Mr. Lueninghoener married in 1884, Helen Eisely, who was born in Omaha, where her father, Carl Eisely, was an early settler, while her mother was said to have been the first white woman to settle west of Fontanelle, Dodge County, Nebraska. Three children bless their union, namely; Alma Marks, of Winslow; Irvin, operating the home farm; and Gilbert, living a home. Mr. and Mrs. Lueninghoener are valued members of the Evangelical Church. Politically an independent voter, Mr. Lueninghoener has served as a member of the local school board for ten years.

On January 7, 1884, she was united in marriage to Henry Lueninghoener, moving with him to Fremont in 1920 where they resided until his death on September 4, 1933, and where his widow continued to live until 1935 when she went to Winslow to make her home with her daughter where her death occurred.

This man is Martin Luther, sr., who passed away at his Colfax, Iowa, home on Thursday, March 29. He was in his 81st year, he having been born at Moehr, Germany in the year 1842. Mr. Luther came to America with his widowed mother when he was ten years of age. He started then to provide for his mother, to make preparations for the responsibilities that lay before him, and to become a true American citizen - a citizenship that to its full extent he enjoyed all thru life. At the age of 19 he volunteered his service and entered the military service of the United States, serving as a member of Co H, 2nd Reg. Wisconsin cavalry. On Nov. 3, 1862, he was honorable discharged at Keokuk, Iowa, by reason of surgeon's certificate of disability. He was married on April 29, 1864 to Miss Caroline Heller in Wisconsin. He embarked with his wife and other relatives for the west, driving through with a team of oxen and wagon, and took a homestead northeast of the present site of Hooper, this farm now being the home of his son, Albert. Here with his wife he settled down and started his career where the home place still stands as a monument to his success. To this union eight children were born, two sons dying in infancy, while Edward, George, August, Martin C., Carrie and Emma (now Mrs. C. J. Rabe of Saginaw, Mich.), survived to mourn the loss of their beloved mother who died here on December 10, 1876. With the responsibility of a large family on hand and facing the hardships of those days, he felt he needed a companion and a mother for his children, so on February 24, 1878, he was united in marriage to Wilhelmina Ulrich, who then took up the duties that lay before her. She departed this life on January 20, 1918, at the home of her son, Albert. To this union ten children were born, one daughter dying in infancy, leaving Minnie (Mrs. H. F. Sinske), Albert, John, Otto, Richard, Karl, Walter, Laura and Clarence to mourn for the companionship of their mother. Although cherishing his home with his son, he wished to spend some of his remaining days with his children at Colfax, his home for several years and there the end came. He was a good man, a good citizen, a faithful husband and father and a loyal Union soldier, and this latter loyalty to this county was exemplified in his offspring through four of his sons serving in the World War. He was a member of Hooper Lodge No. 72, A. F. & A. M., and in this lodge's early days was one of its most faithful workers, as also in the later years when he moved his family to Colfax, the change of residence being made for the benefit of his health. He was a professing Christian, and in early life joined the Lutheran church, and in this faith he always remained inviolate, and it was through his efforts that the Logan church was organized and built. He was its first secretary. While a resident of Colfax he served for fifteen year as president of its board of education and always took pride in the advancement of the schools. Mr. Luther faced the hardships of the west bravely, and all the trial and dissappointments that come in this life were met with the patience of a true man. Following funeral services at Colfax, the remains were brought here for burial. They came early Monday morning to Fremont and were taken to the home of his son, Albert, where services were held at 2 o'clock that afternoon. At the home the services were in charge of Rev. E. G. Williams of Colfax. At the Logan cemetery where lies his loved ones, his mother, children and beloved wives, the services were in charge of the Hooper Masonic lodge at the grave. This was followed by the volley and taps by the Cornelius Tillman post of the American Legion. Six sons, John, Otto, Richard, Karl, Walter and Clarence carried the body of their father to its last resting place. Music for the occasion was furnished by a quartet from the Masonic lodge. 3552 Luther, Martin Sr. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name on Tombstone = Caroline Luther Dates on Tombstone = 1841 - 1876 Tombstone Photo Spouse = Martin Luther Sr. (His 1st Wife) Maiden Name = Laura Caroline Heller Biography Laura Caroline Heller Luther, 35, was born in 1841 in Germany.

During the winter, he was a cabinet maker, but in the summer, he was a well-paid ship's carpenter. On a summer trip to Greenland, the ocean waters froze over before the crew could return, so they waited until spring. Eventually, they ran out of provisions, and he had to eat Eskimo food all winter long. America-Bound In Germany, the young men were trained to be soldiers and were required to serve in the Prussian army. The people had no voice in the government, so avoiding conscription was courageous. The family decided to immigrate to "free land" of the American West. Johann, Anna and their four sons--plus Anna's youngest sister, Lena--sailed across the Atlantic Ocean by ship to New York City. They took a train to Buffalo and went slowly by boat and on to Newton, Iowa. The trains averaged 20 mph, were smoky and sooty, and there were no sleeping or dining cars. The Havekosts... One-and-a-half years earlier, Herman Havekost and his wife, Beta Behrens, and their two sons had come to Newton, Iowa. (Herman had also been a ship's carpenter in northern Germany, Beta was the younger Behrens sister. After a three-week stay in Iowa, the Mosemans and the Havekosts bought teams and two covered wagons for their possessions. They came west on the old Mormon "hand cart" trail, reaching the Missouri River over a week later. Then they ferried across the river to Florence in the new state of Nebraska. On the Oregon Trail to Fremont, they continued to cook and camp along the wayside until arriving in the Logan Creek area north of Hooper. Renounced Old Country Johann and Anna settled in the Admah area in Sheridan township of Washington County, near Little Bell Creek stream. Herman and Beta settled in Logan township in Dodge County. Their prairie schooners served as dwellings until they could build their "claim shacks". On March 16, 1868, in Omaha, Johann Diedrich Moseman declared his intent to become a U.S. citizen by renouncing the Grand Duke of Oldenburg and his country. The soldiers from Ft. Calhoun provided protection to the early settlers of the territory. The Mosemans got their mail via a U.S. Calvary horseback rider from the fort until Admah's post office opened in 1874. Built Claim Shack Johann Diedrich broke a little prairie sod and built a small "claim shack" from trees growing along the Missouri River. This "sodbuster" plowed the tall grass prairie and cultivated 65 acres of land. The orchard was 4 1/2 acres of fruit and forest. Mid-winter, on January 29, 1869, inside the "shack" on the settlement near Admah, Anna's first birth was to a boy--the namesake Johann. During those cold winters, "cow chips", corn cobs, wood and even corn stalks were burned to keep warm. When the U.S. Congress passed the Homestead Act in 1862, it opened up 40% of Nebraska's land to be claimed by homesteaders. On March 4, 1869, Johann Diedrich Moseman paid $14.00 for his homestead application at the land office in Omaha. $800 for 80 Acres On May 15, 1869, the family moved into a house that Johann Diedrich had built. It was a shingled one-story house, 13 X 18 feet, and it had 3 doors and 5 windows. He also built a board frame stable that was larger, 22 X 40 feet. The 1870 U.S. Census shows that the 80 acres of land was valued at $800 and their personal property valued at $980. Anna 37, kept house for Johann Diedrich, 48; Heinrich, 15; Herman, 12, Arndt, 9: Diedrich, 6; and Johann, 1. The next children were born in the spring time; Bernard in 1870 and Annie in 1871. The community of Admah had a general store, a creamery, a blacksmith shop and a barber shop by 1870. 5c/Dozen Eggs could be carried 1 1/2 miles to the store--getting 5 cents per dozen in trade. When the post office opened in 1874, mail was brought in by horseback from Herman, Nebraska. Two pioneer physicians from Ft. Calhoun rode the area on horseback with saddlebags carrying liquid bottled medicine that tasted horrible. Johann Diedrich was declared a U.S. citizen on May 25, 1874, giving citizenship to his family and their descendants. He purchased 32 acres of private sod for $5 per acre and planted it to wheat. The wheat was hauled 40 miles by team and wagon to the Renard flour mill at Elkhorn City, Nebraska. Grasshopper Attack Anna gave birth to a girl, Lena, in the fall of 1874. On Saturday, August 11, 1875, the corn that had reached shoulder high was eaten to the ground by grasshoppers in one day. The slickened railroad tracks stopped trains, and farmers had to pay 60% interest to procure new seed grain. By 1876, the 46 school districts in Washington County employed 74 teachers and enrolled 2,323 students. Brandert country school #34 had 21 pupils in attendance in 1873-- but no privies. 2-Year Mail In October of 1877 the "New Oldenburg" church records the deaths of three children, Diedrich, Bernard and Annie. In the winter of 1881, Johann Diedrich died of dropsy. He was laid to rest in the Logan Cemetery near Winslow on a hill overlooking the creek that had become his vision of America. The 48-year-old widow, Anna, gave birth for the 12th time to a girl, Mary Betty, one month after her husband's death. The final homestead patent was received by mail in Admah on April 26, 1883--over two years after his death!

Diseased was ill about a week, cause of death being given as bronchial pneumonia. Adolph Panning was born on the old home farm near Winslow where his death (birth) occurred, on Aug. 31, 1891 being 27 years, 4 months and 21 days of age at the tine of his passing away. He spent his life in the community where he was born, taking an active part in its church and social life, growing to young manhood. And what a fine young man he was, robust good-natured and brimming over with life and enthusiasm. He was the friend of everybody and everybody was his friend. During the time our country was at war there was no more zealous a patriot than this young man. He was one of the October draft selects, but owing first to the prevailing epidemic and later to the signing of the armistice, he was never called. At the last Red Cross election he was elected as vice chairman of the Hooper Township Chapter, a position made vacant by his death. Besides his parents he leaves six sisters and three brothers to mourn his early death. They are Mesdames Ed Stuenkel, Herman; Albert Koch, Cologne, Minn.; Fred Hartung, Fontanelle; Will Henneman, Hooper; Lottie and Margaret at home; Henry F., Ernest and Fred P., near Winslow. To the sorrow of the relatives is added that of the people of this entire community. Private funeral services were held at the home Tuesday at 12 o'clock, his pastor, Rev. J. G. Lang, having charge.

His death followed several years of illness from ailments incidental to old age. He had reached the age of 89 years, 3 months and 21 days. Mr. Panning was born at Hanover, Germany, May 29, 1846. When a lad of 5 years, he came with his parents to the United States, his first home in the new country being at Watertown, Wisc., where the family lived until 1864. In July of that year, Mr. Panning, then a young man of 18 years, came with his parents along with a number of other families of hardy pioneers to this locality, the long, tedious trip being made by covered wagons drawn by teams of oxen, while the trip was one of hardships, to the then young man it was an interesting experience, and in his later years he delighted in the recounting of the journey as well as of the trials and tribulations that beset the early day settlers in their new homes in the unbroken prairie lands of this section of the country. On arriving here his father took a homestead right four miles east of the present site of Hooper and that place had since remained his home. In the passing years Mr. Panning labored hard and grew to see the barren land blossom into the rich and fertile fields now to be seen on every side. His was an active life and his labors were well rewarded. In his younger days he took an active part in the affairs of his community, becoming widely known for his services and helpfulness and enjoying the very highest respect of neighbors and a large host of friends.

His funeral, under direction of Wollmer & Warne, was held Monday afternoon with brief services at the home at one o'clock, and with the final service at 1:30 from the Immanuel Lutheran church of which Mr. Panning had been a faithful member for many years. The sermon was preached by Rev. E. Eckhardt, who touchinly spoke of the high attribute of the departed. The services were very largely attended by relatives and friends, who thus paid a final tribute to a highly respected resident. Music was furnished by a male quartet, and the choirs of the church, with Prof. F. A. Vonderlage at the organ. The pall bearers were Clyde Panning, Lavere Henneman, Louis Panning, Walter Stuenkel, Paul Panning and Harry Stuenkel, all grandsons of the deceased. Interment was made in the Logan cemetery.

The auto mishap happened two miles east of Thayer to where Mr. Panning, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kuss, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kuss were bound for a visit at the home of Mr. Panning's daughter, Mrs. Paul Schmidt. They were riding in the car belonging to Fred Kuss with Mr. Kuss driving. When near Thayer a tire blowout occurred, causing the auto to swerve and go into a ditch. Fortunately Mr. Kuss was driving slowly and when the auto went into the ditch it slowly toppled over on its side. The only damage to the car was a broken spring and a crushed fender. Though the occupants of the car were shaken, Henry Kuss was the only one to receive any injuries, these consisting of a bruised shoulder and a few cuts resulting in an endeavor to get out of the car. When the car upset, Mr. Panning who was in the front seat with Fred Kuss, toppled over onto Mr. Kuss, and it was not until other occupants went to assist Mr. Panning from the auto that it was noticed that he was dead. He bore no marks or bruises to indicate any injuries that might have caused death. Mr. Panning had been afflicted with a weak heart and the excitement of the accident is thought to have aggravated his case and caused death. When word was received here of the death of Mr. Panning, it came as a shock to relatives and friends, and the latter in turn expressed their deep sympathy to the family in their loss. His remains were brought back to Winslow the same day, and yesterday afternoon the funeral was held, with services at 1:30 from the late home and at two o'clock from St. Paul Ev. Lutheran church of Winslow, The pastor Rev. J. H. Gerdes conducting them. The funeral was a very largely attended affair, in due keeping with the honor and respect the deceased had been held in his many years of residence in this community. Interment was made in the Logan cemetery. Mr. Panning had attained the age of 85 years and 5 months, he having been born at Hanover, Germany on April 15, 1844. When a lad of eight years in 1852 he came with his parents to the United States, locating at Watertown, Wisc. Here he made his home for 12 years, and in 1864 he came by the ox team route with his parents to Nebraska, and settled on a farm five miles east of the present site of Hooper that his father purchased and which is now farmed by his son, G. C. Since then this community had been Mr. Panning's home and by reason of these many years he became one of the best known and prominent old settlers of the community, he always taking an active part in its affairs and holding positions of trust. He was very successful as a general farmer and stock raiser, and continued his work until twenty-one years ago when he retired from active farm life and turned the management of the farm over to his son G. C. About fifteen years ago he left the farm and with his wife moved to a new home he had built in Winslow, and since where he had enjoyed the comfort of life he had so justly earned through hard labors. On November 8, 1868, he was united in marriage to Meta Meyer, and last fall they were privileged to celebrate together sixty years of successful wedded life. To this union eleven children were born, five of whom survive to mourn with the widow the departure of an ever devoted husband and father. These children are Mrs. J. C. Bergt of Altona, Mrs. Henry Kuss of Winslow, Fred G. and Gus C. Panning of Hooper and Mrs. Paul Schmidt of Thayer. He is also survived by 24 grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

He was born April 15, 1844, in Hanover, Germany, and was eight years of age when in October, 1852, with his parents he reached the United States. His parents, Henry and Margaret (Wolf) Panning, located at Watertown, Wisconsin, but left there in 1864 and with wagons and ox teams crossed the country beyond the Missouri to Nebraska. Henry Panning, Sr., paid $1,200 for 360 acres of land partly improved, including a small house. At that time any amount of land was still open for homestead settlement, but he preferred this and was willing to pay a larger price for just what he wanted. On that farm he and his wife lived out the rest of their years, she dying at the age of fifty-eight and he at sixty-seven. Henry Panning early took his sons, Henry and Frederick, into partnership with him, and their holding increased to about 1,000 acres, were kept intact until after the death of Henry Panning, Sr., when the land was divided. Henry Panning, Jr., acquired most of his education after coming to this country and in the State of Wisconsin. He was just twenty when he came to Nebraska and many of his youthful years were devoted to the clearing up and improvement of the land in the community where the family settled. He was very successful as a general farmer an stock raiser, and continued his work in the rural district until 1916 when he turned the management of his farm over to his sons and then build his present house in Winslow and retired. He is on of the men of property in Dodge County, is a stockholder in both the Winslow State Bank and the Hooper Telephone Company, and has always assumed his share of duties and obligations in the community welfare. He is a stanch democrat and both he and his wife are valued members of the Lutheran Church at Winslow. Mr. Panning married Miss Meta Meyer, who was born in Oldenburg, Germany. Eleven children were born to their union, six dying young. Those to grow up were: Mary, wife of J. G. Berght, a farmer in Wayne County, Nebraska; Louise, wife of Henry Kuss, manager of the Nebraska and Iowa Gain Elevator at Winslow, whose individual career is sketched elsewhere; Anna, wife of Paul Schmidt, manager of an elevator at Thayer, Nebraska; Frederick G. and Gustave C., each of whom receives individual mention in this publication.

Panning, Sr. Dies at Winslow Mrs. Henry Panning, Sr., a resident of this locality and county since 1868, passed away at 6:40 Wednesday morning, June 7, 1933, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henry Kuss, at Winslow, at the age of 83 years, 9 months and 22 days. Her death was due to a stroke of apoplexy suffered earlier that morning, a contributing cause being an accident in which she sustained a broken leg about four weeks ago. Her passing removes another of this community's gradually diminishing ranks of pioneer settlers. Margaret Catherine Meyer was born August 15, 1849, at Hatten, Oldenburg, Germany, where she grew to young womanhood, received her educational schooling and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. 4th April 1868, she came with her parents to the United States and direct to Dodge county, Nebraska, this locality having ever since remained her home. In November, 1869, she was united in marriage to Henry Panning, and settled on the Panning homestead, east of the present sites of Hooper and Winslow. This farm was her home until 1915 when she and Mr. Panning retired from active farm life and settled in Winslow to enjoy a well earned rest. Mr. Panning passed away September 15, 1929, and for the past year and a half she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Kuss. In the many years of residence here she had gained a very wide acquaintanceship; and the high esteem of all. As a pioneer resident she endured the trials and cares of the early day life of a sparsely settled country and her reward has been to see the land become a real garden spot of the nation. As wife and mother she was highly devoted to her family and as a neighbor and friend she was ever beloved and respected. She was the mother of eleven children, six of whom have preceded her in death. The surviving children are Mrs. J. G. Bergt of Altona, Mrs. Henry Kuss of Winslow, Fred and Gustav Panning of Hooper and Mrs. Paul Schmidt of Thayer. 24 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren also survive her. Her funeral will be held Friday afternoon, with services at 2 o'clock at the Kuss home and later, from the St. Pauls Lutheran church in Winslow, Rev. J. G. Gerdes officiating.

She was born Nov. 24, 1885 and was consequently, at the time of her death 16 years and 2 months old. Sometime last September she was taken with an acute attack of inflammation of the bowels and for nearly three months she battled for life and several times it seemed as though she must give up the struggle, but careful nursing and a good constitution enabled her to rally and a week before her death she was thought entirely out of danger and her parents were happy in the thought that she would be saved to them, but their joy was of short duration. On Tuesday she was suddenly taken sick again and it was decided by her physicians that the only hope of saving her life was in an operation which was done last Thursday, but the little frail body was so weakened by disease that it had no strength to rally and she only lived about twelve hours. During her long and painful illness she was a patient sufferer and her death was to her a release for suffering.

I assume that the newspaper intended to say daughter instead of son. If so, the paternal grandparents were Mr. & Mrs. F. G. Panning and the maternal grandparents were Mr. & Mrs. Ed Fischer. Linda is buried near Henry & Meta Panning. I believe that they would be Linda's great grandparents.

The immediate cause of his demise was trouble incident to his old age, he being 93 years and six months old. Deceased was born in Rhenish(1) Bavaria June 14, 1809. He was married to Katherine Vight(2) and to them were born seven children, four of whom, Jacob, Adam, and Henry Schwab and Mrs. Theodore Uehling are still living and were with him at the time of his death. In 1855 Mr. Schwab, with his family emigrated to the United States settling first in Dodge County, Wisconsin, removing in 1861 to Dodge County, Nebraska, making the trip by ox team. When he first came here, he took a homestead and like many of the early settlers saw all the trials and suffering of pioneer life, but his faith in the country was not shaken and long before he died he had the satisfaction of knowing that his judgement was correct. Owing to failing health, he has not for a number of years taken any active interest in business matters and since the death of his wife about 7 years ago, he has made his home with his son, Jacob. Mr. Schwab was a man of sterling character, upright and the soul of honor and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. Funeral services were held at the German Lutheran Church last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. E. Walter officiating. The interment was in Logan Cemetery.

In 1855 he came to the United States and settled in Dodge county, Wisconsin, and in the spring of 1861 came to Nebraska. The trip from his Wisconsin home was made by an ox team. Crossing the river at Council Bluffs he came to Dodge county and located on what is now the Fieishhauer farm. He afterwards gave this up and in 1864 took as a homestead the se1/4, section 9, township 19, range 8. This farm is now the property of his son Henry. At the time of his coming here Mr. Schwab's family consisted of wife and four children; Catharine, now Mrs. Theodore Uehling, Jacob, Adam and Henry. Mrs. Schwab died in 1887. It was after Mr. Schwab came to the country that the first school house was built, and the Indian scare being over matters for the settlers were just beginning to get straightened out when the Civil war broke out. Volunteers were wanted to hold the Minnesota Sioux Indians in check, and in the fall of 1862 Jacob Schwab enlisted in the 2d Nebraska cavalry and was sent to Fort Randall. After eleven months service the regiment was mustered out without having seen any actual fighting. Politically and socially this family has been quite prominent in the history of this part of the country. In 1886 Henry Schwab, Jr., was elected a member of the Nebraska legislature and served one term. Mr. Schwab, Sr., is now 91 years old and is in the best of physical health, and for a number of years has made his home in Hooper with his son Jacob.

She had been sick for about six weeks with a complicated stomach trouble and finally death came, but found her prepared; she died as she had lived, at peace with all mankind. Her life has been an open book in which can be read all that is good in a wife and mother, uneventful, perhaps, in the accomplishment of any great deed, but a model worthy of example; an affectionate and devoted wife and a loving and self-sacrificing mother, a friend to be prized and trusted and one whom friends mourn and miss when death takes them.

On Wednesday Mr. Stecher had undergone a gall stone operation to secure relief from an ailment that had troubled him for some time. While he passed through the operation nicely, complications suddenly set in and the end came rapidly and as a surprise to his many friends here. His death removes a Dodge County resident of 69 years standing. Mr. Stecher had attained the age of 76 years, 11 months and 22 days, he having been born near Vienna, Bohemia, on November 25, 1857. At the age of 12 years he came to the United States with his parents and two brothers and settled on a farm near Dodge, and began a residence that made him widely acquainted in the county. On February 6, 1878, he was married to Miss Rose Wagner of Hooper. Following the marriage a home was established near Dodge followed later by a short residence in Kansas, after which they returned to Dodge county and settled on the farm four miles northeast of Hooper now managed by his son, Louis. In 1916 he and Mrs. Stecher retired from farm life to enjoy a well earned rest and moved to Fremont, which city remained his home for the next 16 years. In the fall of 1932 Mr. and Mrs. Stecher moved back to the old familiar landmarks to make their home in Winslow, but shortly afterwards or on January 15, 1933, death took away Mrs. Stecher and broke up a companionship that had lasted for fifty-five years. In his years of residence in this locality Mr. Stecher proved himself to be a successful farmer and stock raiser, keeping abreast with the times of those years. He was active and prominent in the affairs of the community in which he lived and gained the high respect of his fellow citizens. He was the father of four sons, one, Frank, dying in infancy and another, Francis, passing away in 1928. The two who survive him are Lester of Potter and Louis of Hooper. He is also survived by four Grandchildren. 0268 Stecher, Joseph - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name on Tombstone = Rosa C E Stecher Dates on Tombstone = 19 Mar 1853 - 15 Jan 1933 Spouse = Joseph Stecher Maiden Name = Rosa Catherine Elizabeth Wagner Obituary The Hooper Sentinel Jan. 19, 1933 Mrs. Jos. Stecher Called By Death Slowly, but surely, the real pioneer residents of this community are, being called to their eternal rest, and this week it becomes our duty to chronicle the passing of one who has been a resident of the locality since 1861. This is Mrs. Joseph Stecher, who passed away about 3 o'clock, Sunday after noon, January, 15, 1933, at the old farm home, the present home of her son, Louis, about four miles northeast of Hooper. An illness of a week which developed into pneumonia was the cause of her death. Previous to that time she had enjoyed good health. She passed away at the age of 79 years, 9 months and 26 days, and of the original family that came to Nebraska in the early days, Mrs. Stecher was the last. As Rose Catherine Elizabeth Wagner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Wagner, she was born on March 19, 1853 in Cleveland, Ohio. When a child of three she went with her parents to Madison, Wisc., residing there until 1861. On April 1st of that year the family in company with the Schwab family started for Nebraska by ox team arriving here on July 4. The trip, while a hard and tedious one, was, however, filled with much to interest a girl of eight years and according to a sketch give by her at the unveiling of the Logan Mills monument in 1930 was also filed with impressions that remained with her the rest of her life. The hardships of the trip and the rigors of the early winters moulded a depth of character in the pioneers which is difficult to find among the present day people. Her first home in this community was an abandoned two room log cabin about a mile from the Logan Mills that was shared for a time by both the Wagner and Schwab families. Her father then pre-empted a 160 acre claim which he later homesteaded and on which a log house was built in 1862. From then on this county has been her home and among its people she had become beloved and widely known. Her marriage to Joseph Stecher took place at Fremont on February 6, 1878. Following the marriage they located on the farm now the home of her son, Louis. Here she and Mr. Stecher resided until seventeen years ago when they retired from farm life to enjoy a well earned rest and moved to Fremont. Four months ago they came back to the old familiar landmarks and took up their home in Winslow, but death destined her not to remain long amid the circle of her old time friendships. As a wife and mother Mrs. Stecher was ever devoted to her family, as a friend ever faithful and helping and as a resident always held in the highest esteem by all. Her passing is sincerely regretted by everyone who knew her and all extend sympathy to the family in their loss. She was the mother of four sons, two having preceded her in death, Frank in infancy and Francis in 1928. Surviving sons are Lester of Potter and Louis of Hooper, who with the father now mourn the passing of a much beloved mother and wife. Four grandchildren also survive her. Following her death her body was taken charge of by the Wolmer & Warne mortuary service until the day of the funeral. This was yesterday with short services first being held at 1:30 at the Louis Stecher farm home and at 2 O'clock from the Grace Lutheran church, in which faith she had been reared and maintained. An audience that filled the church was present to pay their tribute to the memory of this beloved woman and pay heed to the words of comfort as pronounced by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Moeller. Interment was made in the Logan cemetery, which is a part of the original Wagner homestead and in which her father, who passed away in 1865, was the first interred. 0267 Stecher, Rosa C.

In the 1975 Logan cemetery survey by Mares and Petersen her date of death is shown as July 2, 1880 and that she was 65 year 9 months and 12 days old. Using this death date and age, her birth date computes to be September 20, 1814. I assume that this is the date she used. On April 12, 1836 at Witzelroda, Thüringen, Germany she became John Uehling's second wife. The following children were born to them in Germany before they emigrated to the USA; Dorothea Elisabetha (Odelia), Oswald, Barabara Margeretha, Evalynn Christina, Barbara Rosina, John Martin, Johann Martin and Elizabeth.

He also set out an orchard and an artificial grove. He added to his land until he claimed four hundred and eighty acres, three hundred acres of which are under the plow. He lived on this place twenty-eight years and still owns it. When he came to Dodge County his earthly possessions consisted of a set of blacksmith tools, two ox teams and eleven dollars in money.

His demise was sudden, as up to that time he had seemed to be enjoying his usual health and had partaken of a hearty evening meal. He had risen from the table and had started for another room when he was stricken, with death coming a few moments later. The death of this respected and well known man again brings us to the realization that the ranks of the real pioneers of this section is rapidly thinning. In his sixty years' residence in this community, Mr. Wagner shared the vicissitudes, trials and hardships of the early settler and had seen this country grow from a land of unbroken wilds and prairies to one of plenty and prosperity. In those early days he took a prominent part in the community's affairs and was a man always ready, and never failing, to do any task asked of him, and always unselfishly gave his aid to any friend in time of need. He had a large acquaintance and among these he was always held in high esteem. Carl Ludwig August Wagner was born in Middleschefland, November 7, 1845, and died at Hooper, Nebr., February 23, 1923, at the age of 77 years, 3 months and 16 days. He came to America in 1852, locating in Ohio and later removing to Wisconsin. In 1863 he made the overland trip to Nebraska and located on a farm near Logan Creek, northeast of the present site of Hooper. He was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Uehling on October 9, 1868, and thus a union of over fifty-four years is broken through the death of the husband. To this sacred union fifteen children were born, of whom twelve survive. They are Henry, Edward, Gilbert, Mrs. Henry Mallette, Mrs. Ben Ott, Mrs. Herman Janssen, Mrs. Alfred Stroh, and Mrs. Fred Dierking of Hooper, Mrs. John M. Uehling of Elizabeth, Nebr., Wm. Wagner of Neligh, Mrs. Isaac Mallette of Craig and Alfred Wagner of Ignacio, Colo. A sister, Mrs. Joseph Stecher of Fremont, also survives him. The funeral services were held at the Zion's Lutheran Church at 1:30 Monday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. J. Schrader, preaching the words of comfort to the sorrowing family and the large gathering of friends who had come to thus pay their last respects to a friend and neighbor. Interment was made in the Hooper cemetery(1). The pall bearers were grandsons of the deceased, Harry Wagner, Edward, Harold, Lester and Sherman Mallette and Fred Ott, Jr. Out of town relatives here for funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

(Paper No. 2) George Weigle with his wife and three children left Long Grove in May 1857 in a covered wagon drawn by an ox team. At this time Iowa was but sparsely settled consequently after leaving Iowa City the country was about all the same, prairie as far as the eye could reach. All summer, practically, was spent in making the trip. Many inducements were held out to him to locate in Iowa but having heard so much of the country west of the Missouri river he resisted all temptations to stop before reaching his destination. The crossing from Iowa to Nebraska was made by ferry at Council Bluffs. Fontanelle had opened up for business and the towns along the river were jealous of the prominence likely to be attained by the inland rival, so the land agents at the river directed them to Lyons, then a city on paper only, and from there they went to West Point, which was at this time a very small village. The winter of 1857 and 58 was spent in West Point where Mr. Weigle constructed a log house, then the fashionable material. Finding themselves running short of provisions, Mr. Weigle, in company with a man by the name of Frenchman, started for Council Bluffs to lay in a supply. They were gone so long that the family gave them up for lost. When they did finally get home they had but little left of their original purchases and the flour was so mouldy it was with difficulty that it could be used. Salt was a luxury and it was for years that none could be had. Cattle suffered for the want of it and many of them died. In the spring of 1858 Mr. Weigle moved to Dodge county and located on sw1/4 section 4, Twp 19, R 8, filing on the land and afterwards adding to it by homestead and pre-emption rights. His first house was built of logs thatched with slough grass. This soon gave way to one of frame and now the old place is adorned with as neat and modern a farm house as is to be found anywhere and is occupied by Gustav Weigle. Mr. Weigle was born in Germany in 1820 and came to the United States in 1853 and was followed by his family in 1855. At the time he came to Nebraska his family consisted of wife and five children, Paulina, now Mrs. Jake Schwab, Frederika, now married to Adam Schwab, and at present residing in Denver; Godfred, John and Louisa, the wife of Henry Schwab. Mr. Weigle died Feb. 15, 1893. His wife is still living and resides with her son Gustav on the old place. After building his first house he commenced, breaking prairie but the family had to live, and as food was scarce and as fish were abundant in Logan Creek the family lived at times on a fish diet for weeks. During the Pawnee Indian scare of 1858 the family was compelled to leave their home -as in fact did all the settlers at that time - and go to Fontanelle for aid and protection. While they were away the Indians ransacked their homes and carried off what of any value they could find. During one of these raids they killed one of Mr. Weigle's oxen thus breaking his team and for some time after he was compelled to put a cow to work in order to make out a team. While on another of these raids the Pawnees came to his house and compelled the family to give up all the flour, potatoes and meat-which happened to be about half a barrel of catfish. This left the family destitute and well nigh discouraged, but with indomitable pluck they persevered and like all others won out in the end. From 1860 to 1872 it was a hard and trying time but nothing to what the years 1873 to 1878 were. Drouth and hot winds burnt up most of the crops and the "hoppers" took what was left. Some of the settlers who came in later became discouraged and pulled up "stakes" but no so with this family and right well have they been rewarded, but it is safe to say that their early struggles won a foothold on the American desert and will never be forgotten by any of the family who participated in them. Up to this time the question of schools had occupied but little of the time of the pioneers and this will occupy a portion of our next paper. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ship's Passenger List; Germans to America CD#355 Ship = Johann George, Captain = C.

Kramer Obituary The Hooper Sentinel March 29, 1900 Mrs. Christiana Weigle was Born in Wittenberg(1), Germany, August 3, 1824, and died at the residence of her son Gustave, near Hooper, on Tuesday, March 27, 1900, the immediate cause of her death being dropsy. Mrs. Weigle came to the United States in 1855, and settled first near Buffalo, N. Y., removing to Illinois in 1856, and to Nebraska in 1857. In 1858 with her family she came to Dodge County, and settled on a homestead and died at the same place although not in the same house. During the early years of her Nebraska life she saw many hardships, and at times suffered from enforced privations, but a strong constitution enabled her to endure it with great fortitude. About seven years ago she was attacked with a dropsical affection but with good care practically recovered, but the effects of this severe illness were never entirely eradicated from her system. Mrs. Weigle's death will recall to many of the pioneers incedents in the early settlement of the county. Many times was she called on to go long distances to nurse the sick, and was always found willing and happy in the knowledge that she could help to relieve distress. In her home life she was devoted to her children and husband, kind and affectionate, ever looking after their comfort and wellfare. She was the mother of ten children, seven of whom survive her. They are Mesdames Jacob, Adam and Henry Schwab, Gotfred, John, Gustave and Mary Weigle. In religion she was a German Lutheran and the funeral services were held from the residence to the Logan German Lutheran Church, Rev. Grauenhorst being the officiating minister. The interment was in the Logan Cemetery by the side of her husband, who died in 1893. (1) She was born at Bittenfeld, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. In the 1860 and 1870 U.S. census she lists her birthplace as Württemberg. Wittenberg is a city southwest of Berlin. Württemberg, a state, is now combined with Baden to form the state Baden-Württemberg. 0100 Weigle, Christena F. ****************************************************************** Name on Tombstone = George Weigle Dates on Tombstone = 8 Feb 1859 - 23 Nov 1887 28 yr 9 mo 15 days Biography George Weigle Jr., 28, was born on February 8, 1859 in Nebraska. There is a question about his actual birth place. Some sources report his birth place as West Point, Nebraska, but if the family moved from West Point to the Logan Creek community of Dodge county in 1858, then he would have been born at Logan Creek in Dodge county. I believe that his birth place is Logan Creek in Dodge county. He died at Logan Creek, near Hooper Nebraska, on November 23, 1887, and is buried in the Logan cemetery. His parents were Johann George Weigle and Christena Friederika Kraemer. George Jr.'s parents are natives of Bittenfeld, Württemberg, Germany, and after emigrating to the USA they lived in Black Rock Dam, New York and Long Grove, Illinois before coming to Nebraska. On October 2, 1887 George Jr. married Maria Josephine Ithen at Hooper, Nebraska. His wife was a native of Switzerland. They had one son, George Anton, born May 4, 1888.
