Name on Tombstone = Kuhlman John D.
Dates on Tombstone = 01-12-1827 11-24-1917
Biography
John D. Kuhlman was born at Oldenburg, Germany on January 12, 1827.
He married Catherine Stover in Germany and they emigrated to the USA
in 1871. They crossed the ocean on the ship "Rhein" and landed in
New York on April 15, 1871. A 6 year old girl named Anna traveled
with them and it would appear that she was their daughter. However,
this is the only reference to this child that could be found. Three
16 year old youths, from the same village, also appear to have
travelled with the Kuhlmans. Their names are; Marie Stoever, Gesine
Moennich and Henry Memderloh. John D. and Catherine were the
parents of a son, John D. G., born on July 7 1877 in Burt County,
Nebraska. It appears that John D. and Catherine were divorced
shortly after John H. was born, but documentation has not been
found. A Catharine Margrethe Kuhlman died on Mar. 19, 1893 and is
buried at St. Paul's Cemetery north of Hooper, NE. I believe that
she was John D.'s first wife, but the this has not been verified.
John D. married Anna Marie Stover(widow of Henry Stover) on July 9,
1879 at St. John's Lutheran church north of Hooper, NE. Their
license was issued in Burt County. John D. and Anna did not have
any children, but Anna brought 4 children to the marriage. They are
John Henry, John Bernhardt, Kate and Mattie. John D. and Anna lived
on a farm in Burt County and later at Hooper, NE and Uehling, NE.
John D. died on Nov. 24, 1917 and is buried at St. Paul's Cemetery
in Burt County, Nebraska. John D. Kuhlman and Diedrich G. Kuhlman
are related.

Obituary - Henry Roggensack
The Hooper Sentinel
May 4, 1922
Page 4
As mentioned in these columns last week, Henry Roggensack, a pioneer
of this community, passed away at his home ten miles north of Hooper
on Tuesday, April 25, at the age of 61 years, 3 months and 9 days,
following an attack of heart disease.
Mr.Roggensack was one of the truly native pioneers of this vicinity
having been born on January 16, 1861, two miles north of the present
site of Hooper on the farm now occupied by Henry Schmietenknop, and
has eversince been a resident of this community. As a result of
this life-long residence in these parts he became widely known and
enjoyed the rspect of a host of friends who now extend sympathy to
his surviving sisters, Mrs. Chris Kroger of Hooper and Mrs. Lena
Koehler of Uehling. He was a carpenter by trade, and for a few
years was engaged in business in Uehling. He never married and his
two sisters are the only close surviving relatives. He was a kind
man and ever ready to extend a helping hand to those less fortunate
than himself. The funeral services were held at the D. Ellinghausen
farm home last Thursday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Reger
of Uehling. Interment took place in the Lutheran Cemetery north of
town.
