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.

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 Maiden Name = Emma L. Simms Obituary The Hooper Sentinel April 28, 1932 Mrs. Briggs Burial in Logan Cemetery Sunday word was received here that Mrs. Russell L. 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. Catharine Hennemann was born in Herschweiler, Rhine Province, Germany, on Feb. 21st 1831, where she lived until 1856, when she came to America and settled in the state of Ohio. 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. She has two brothers and two sisters, Chas. of Hooper, Nicolis of Wipple, Ohio, Mrs. Karl Kirsch of Enterprise, Nebr., and Mrs. Jacob Fauss of White Oak, West Virginia, who mourn the loss of a kind, devoted mother and sister. In 1888 she was converted and joined the Methodist Church. Several months Mrs. Eisley had been gradually failing, but always expressed herself as having a good hope beyond the grave. She will be greatly missed by the church as she has always been helpfully associated with it since the time of her conversion. But in "The Temple not made with hands," we feel assured that she is reaping her reward, waiting for those who she so tenderly loved, to join her. The funeral, a very large one, was from her home; Rev. Wagner, from Talbasta, conducting it. The interment was in Logan Cemetery. This closes another earthly life and one that has made the place where she has lived, better, more beautiful and happier by her indefatigable labor and affectionate and unselfish disposition. Those who loved and respected her covered her casket with beautiful flowers, which were the last tokens from those who will miss the bent form and faultering step, but always kindly face of one they dearly loved.

Eiseley, infant daughter of Charles F. and Josephine Eiseley, died on August 30, 1873. She was about 8 month old, and is buried at Logan cemetery. No additional information was found. 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.

A. R., and for over fifty years a resident of this community, will be grieved to learn of the passing away of that splendid old soldier on Wednesday evening, April 24, 1918, at 7:15 o'clock. Death occurred at the home of his son, George, following a six weeks' illness from kidney trouble. Deceased had reached the ripe old age of 82 years, 10 months and 24 days. Mr. Kriebel was born in Karzen, Silasia, Germany, May 30, 1835, and was a cabinet maker by trade. As was usual in Germany, he was called for military training at the age of 21, and served for three years and three months in the 11th Regt. Infantry, being a sergeant at the time of his discharge in November, 1859. The year following he came to Wisconsin and worked through the winter on a farm. In 1861 at the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in Co C. 1st Regt. Vol. Infantry, at President Lincoln's first call for volunteers for three months. Immediately after his discharge he re- enlisted, this time in Co. E. 10 Regt. Vol. Infantry. He served in this three years, receiving two wounds, one in thee face and one in the right arm, where he carried the bullet for the remainder of his life. He was discharged in November, 1864, with the rank of sergeant. After his discharge he returned to Wisconsin, where in April, 1865, he was united in marriage to Miss Henrietta Marquard, who preceded him in death thirty six years ago.
