Dodge And Washington Counties Otto Hoegermeyer Located in a rich agricultural region, Otto Hoegermeyer stands high amon the enterprising and self-reliant men who are so ably conducting the farming interests in Everett Twonship, the geater part of is land being in a yielding condition, and the improvements on his place being of a good, practical, and substantial character. Although native born, his birth having occurred November 18, 1887, in Dodge County, he is of foreign ancestry, his parents Henry F. and Mary Hoegermeyer, having been born on German soil. Brought up in Germany, Henry F. Hoegermeyer was educated in the public schools, and, in common with his youthful companions, served the required time in the German army. He subsequently learned the blacksmith?s trade, which he followed for a while. In 1872 he came to the United States, and having settled in Dodge County, Nebraska, secured work on a farm. Having accumulated some money, he wisely invested it in land, and having made good improvements on it continued life as a farmer and stock raiser, branches of industry that proved profitable. On his well cultivated estate he resided until his death, in 1914. He was not affiliated with any political party, being an independent voter. Religously he was a member St. John?s Lutheran Church, to which his widow, who is now a resident of Dodge County, belongs. Nine children were born to their union, as follows: Anna, wife of Mr. Heermann, a farmer in Stanton County; Louise, wife of William Moeller, who is engaged in farming in Dodge County; Minnie, wife of Otto Langewisch a Dodge County agriculturalist; Mary; Augusta; Henry, a farmer in Cuming County; Fred, engaged in farming in South Dakota; Herman, farming in Washington County; and Otto, subject of this sketch. Completing his early education in the rural schools, Otto Hoegermeyer worked with his father several seasons in the parental homestead. Starting n life for himself in 1914, Mr. Hoegermeyer has since carried on general farming with good results, making a specialty to some extent of raising a good grade of stock. He is a stockholder in the Hooper Mill and Grain Company, which is doing a extensive business. In politics he is independent, as a voter being bound to no party. Religiously, true to the faith in which he was reared, he is a Lutheran, being a trustworthy member of St. John?s Church.

Hooper NE Hi Harry, I was looking at the listing for St. John's Cemetery at Hooper, NE and saw the obituary for Henry F. Horst and his wife Anna Horst. For Anna Horst, you were looking for more information. I can fill in some details on her. She was a niece of John Christian Schulenberg that is also buried in the St. John's Cemetery at Hooper, NE. I believe her parents and most of her brothers and her sister are buried at the Scribner, NE cemetery. Anna Adaline Gerhardine Schulenberg was born 17 April 1892 at Babbtown, Osage County, MO. She was the daughter of Bernhard Dietrich Heinrich Schulenberg and Bertha Dorathea Johanna Ahlers. Anna married Heinrich F. Horst on 27 May 1915 at the St. John's Lutheran Church at Babbtown, MO. This information is from the Church Record Book at Babbtown. Babbtown was a small German community centered around the church. When the railroad came through that part of the country, it was not built near Babbtown, but closer to the river. People began building a community near the railroad, and that place became the town of Meta. Babbtown and Meta are only about 4 miles apart. Most of the Babbtown families came from several small communities near Oldenburg, Germany. There seems to be a strong connection between the families at Babbtown/Meta and the Hooper area. Many of the families that started at Babbtown later moved to the area around Hooper. Note: Richard Mueller sent this e-mail to me on 11-7-2006.

Mrs. Christian Kroeger passed away last Thursday evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chris Schulenberg, after a long illness which was complicated and rendered more serious by her age.

Langemeier Dates on Tombstone = 1873 - 1941 Tombstone Photo Obituary The Hooper Sentinel October 30, 1941 Hooper Man Dies of Car Injuries Family and friends of George Langemeier, retired Hooper farmer, were grieved and shocked when it became known early Tuesday morning that he had passed away at 6 o'clock from the effects of injuries received the previous afternoon when he was struck by an automobile while walking west with his son, John, on the paved highway near the Basler service station. The fatal accident occurred around 3:30 Monday afternoon when Walter Gosker of Washington county, driving in the same direction that the two men were walking, attempted to pass them. According to all reports, Gosker is exonerated from blame, since he was driving at a medium rate and sounded his horn as a signal that he would pass. It is believed that Mr. Langemeier became confused, stepping directly into the pathway of the oncoming car and sustaining shock and injuries from which he could not rally. George Bernard Langemeier, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Herman Langemeier, was born April 9, 1873, at Rising Sun, Ind., and died at Hooper, Nebr., October 28, 1941, aged 68 years, 6 months and 19 days.

Had Mr. Moeller lived until next spring, he would have been 98 years of age, an age vouchsafed to few of us and one which sees almost unimaginable changes in world history. During his more able days, Mr. Moeller loved to relate tales of the experiences he had lived through as a pioneer settler of a new undeveloped country. His life history is also a history of this community, of Hooper since its very beginning. Born March 30, 1844, in Westphalia, Germany, he grew to young manhood there and was united in marriage to Joanna Langemeier, and in 1869 they with their eldest son, C. Henry, left their native land, making their crossing in one of the slow sailing vessels of that time. They came directly to Dodge county in search of a favorable location, Mr. Moeller first finding employment near Arlington but not for long, as he soon purchased a 160-acre tract of school land three miles northwest of the present site of Hooper where they made their first permanent home, the place now occupied by his son, John H. C. Moeller. Mr. Moeller worked and prospered, adding to his land holdings from time to time and becoming generally known as a successful farmer and stockraiser, by his thrift and careful management attaining a place of prominence and influence throughout the county. Besides, his farm interests he was also active in other affairs of the community. He helped form the Farmers Mutual Home Insurance company in 1872 and remained its president for 42 years, being president also for a number of years of the former Dodge County Bank of Hooper. Mr. Moeller retired from active farm life in 1909 and came to Hooper to live in the home where his death occurred. His wife preceded him in death, passing away in 1925. He is survived by three daughters and one son, John H. C. Moeller. The daughters are Mrs. E. G. Niebuhr, with whom he made his home since the death of his wife: Mrs. J. H. Hartenberger, Redbud, Ills., and Mrs. E. J. Rink of Hooper. He is also survived by 25 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren. Funeral services for this highly respected citizen were held Tuesday afternoon, first from the home here in Hooper and then from St. John's Lutheran church, northwest of Hooper, which Mr. Moeller helped to found many years ago and in which he remained a faithful worshipper to the end of his days, attending its services as long as his health permitted. Rev. Theo. Norden, pastor of the church, conducted the services which were largely attended by old time neighbors and friends of the deceased and his sorrowing family. Interment was made in the church cemetery with Wollmer & Warne in charge.

A citizen of two counties, a resident of two countries. What great changes have taken place in his native land since the day of his birth. When he came into the world Germany was a confederation of states with Prussia as the strongest in the group. He was twenty years old when Schleswig-Holstein was taken from Denmark. He was a citizen of the German Confederation until 1866 then a citizen of the North German Confederation until he left for America in 1869. By coming to the United States when he did he escaped serving in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1874. The second year after coming to this country Germany became an empire and the King of Prussia was made the emperor of Germany. Since the World War Germany has become a republic and now under the dictatorship of Hitler. Mr. Moeller is a peer of his community and also of the state of Nebraska having settled here sixty five years ago, when Nebraska as a state was but two years old. It was his privilege to cross the Atlantic Ocean on one of the first steam ships used by Germany. The time he came over was the second trip the vessel had made. They were three weeks in coming. This was considered a remarkable feat in that day. He and his wife and a baby son Henry constituted the family. The baby was a year old on the second of March. On the seventh of the same month they started west. Severe storms were encountered all the way. The lightning and thunder were terrible. Everyone of them was desperately sick. The baby had started to walk before they left Germany but it was a month after they landed that he was able to walk again. The fear of storm and the dread of the sea sickness were so marked that though they longed to return to their native land they dreaded the possibility of going thru another such experience and never attempted it. They encountered fog so much of the way that travel was difficult and dangerous. While out in mid ocean their vessel collided with an English boat and sprang a leak. Fortunate for them that it was not more serious and that they were able to proceed on their way. Casper Moeller and his family came direct to Arlington, Neb. Here lived an uncle, one of the Storks. He soon registered for a quarter of section of land three miles north of Hooper. There was no Hooper then. It was school land and he bought it for $7 an acre. It was raw prairie sod. Securing some cotton wood lumber at the Uehling saw mill he built a two room house. Later as circumstances permitted he added a kitchen to their small prairie home. He used oxen to break up the sod. When asked why he did not use horses he replied "we could not afford it". His yoke of oxen cost him $320. He paid $500 for his first team of horses. When Mr. Moeller first settled here Indians were numerous. Often he would not see a white person for several weeks. He never had any trouble with the red men. In the earlier years he employed an Indian and his family. There was the man, his squaw and four children, two of them being boys old enough to assist. He used them during the harvest season. On one occasion a large band of Sioux warriors came from the north and were going south to battle with another tribe of Indians. All day long this band of war painted redskins, mounted on their ponies, rode across his farm. There were no modern means of communication then so he never knew what Indians they attacked or with what results. If any of them survived the battle they returned home by another route. The Munderloh family were their nearest neighbors. Along the Elkhorn river were the Gerd Monnich, the Rogensack, the Schwab, the Weigle, and the Busch families who had come in an earlier day. To the north of them was an open uninhabited prairie. Those earliest settlers selected land close to the streams so as to have plenty of water and timber for fuel and shelter. Before he finished digging a well on his place Mr. Moeller had to get his water out of Logan Creek. The knowledge of microbes did not haunt these early pioneers. Calhoun, near Omaha, was then their main trading post. There were no bridges across streams, they followed the earlier trails which led them to the places easiest and safest for fording the creeks and rivers. It required several days to reach their destination, they had to wait their turn at the mill. These were great occasions for fellowship. Here they gathered news about other sections of the county. In the dining room of their present home in this city is a clock purchased the year they came, 1869. It still is the family time piece and its presence is a constant reminder of the experiences of those first pioneering days. Coming across the Clark Creek bottom, the highway's ice and his horses not being shod, the first thing they knew the entire outfit slide off the grade into icy water. Provisions, clock and all got a good drenching. It is interesting to hear those aged pioneers tell of the prices they paid in their day. Of course time, place, circumstances varied the schedule considerable. The first heifer he bought was valued at $90. He bought it for $80, his uncle made this reduction as a gift to give encouragement to the new settler. Wishing to raise some hogs he bought a piggy sow for which he paid seventy dollars. Coal oil was sixty cents a gallon. No wonder they used it as little as possible and went to bed early. We probably would do the same if we had to pay such a price for it.hhw - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Hooper Sentinel April 5, 1934 90 YEARS OLD Casper Moeller, one of the very few remaining real pioneer settlers of this locality, was 90 years old last Friday, and in honor of this event a gathering of his children and grandchildren was held at the home of his son in law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Niebuhr, in this city that afternoon. Others also dropped in to pay their respects to this highly esteemed and well known pioneer citizen. Though his health is not what it might be and being kept to his home by his ailments. Mr. Moeller is able to be up and about the house and still maintains a great deal of interest in life, his reading keeping him well posted on the events of the day. Born in Germany March 30, 1844, he resided there until young manhood, and came to America in 1867 and took up a home on 160 acres of school land he purchased north of the present site of Hooper. His place is the present home of his son, John H. C. Moeller. By thrift and careful management Mr. Moeller acquired other tracts in that community and eventually became one of the large land holders in this locality. Besides his farm interests he also became active in other affairs of the community. He helped form the Farmers Mutual Home Insurance Company in 1872 and remained it's president for 42 years and for a number of years was president of the former Dodge County Bank. His long time residence in these parts is full of many tales of interest of early day life and he takes much pleasure in telling stories of incidents that made life interesting in pioneering days and worth the while to "stick it out" when many others became discouraged and left for other places. He retired from active farm life in 1909 and came to Hooper to live and enjoy the last years of life in the rest and comfort he had so well earned and the respect and esteem of friends. All join in extending him best wishes in having reached this venerable age in life.hhw Moeller, Casper - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name on Tombstone = Johanna F. W.

Death followed an illness of a week's duration and was due to ailments incident to old age, she having attained the venerable age of 82 years, 7 months and 29 days. As Johanna Langemeier, she was born at Westfalia, Germany, on July 10, 1842. There she grew to womanhood and in 1867 became the bride of Casper Moeller, and thus fifty- eight years of happy companionship is broken by her death. In 1869 she and Mr. Moeller came to America and settled on the farm three miles north of Hooper that is now occupied by the son, John H. C. For forty years this farm remained her home, enduring during that time all of the vicissitudes accompanying pioneer days and then the comforts that came with the years of toil and perseverance of the early day settlers. 1909 found her and Mr. Moeller retiring from the farm and moving to town to enjoy the sunset of life in the ease and comfort they so richly deserved. Since then our little city had continuou sly been her home. But the joy of the new home was somewhat saddened for her through blindness that came upon her about nine years ago, the duties of the home being looked after by her daughter, Mrs. E. G. Niebuhr. But in spite of her great affliction she was ever patient and became resigned to her fate of darkness. Of kindly disposition, gracious and friendly, she constantly added to her golden-chain of friendships and there were many who recognized her sterling worth. Always patient, loving and kind, more concerned about others than herself, a loving devoted wife and mother, a gentle Christian friend, she leaves a vacant place that cannot be filled. She was the mother of eight children, a daughter, Anna, and two sons, William and August, preceding her in death. The surviving children are C. Henry, John H. C., Mrs. E. J. Rink and Mrs. E. G. Niebuhr, all of this locality, and Mrs. J. H. Hartenberger of Red Bud, Ill. These and the aged husband have the deep sympathy of the community in their hour of bereavement. She is also survived by twenty-five grandchildren and eleven great- grandchildren. The funeral services for this estimable and beloved woman will be held this Thursday afternoon, with services first at one o'clock at the late home and at two o'clock at St. John's Lutheran church, 5 miles north of Hooper, of which she was a devout member. The pastor, Rev. Thoe. Norden, will conduct the services. In respect to Mr. Moeller, who has long been a director and for some years its president, the Dodge County Bank will close its doors during the hours of the funeral.hhw Additional Notes Johanna Langemeier Moeller emigrated from Bremen aboard the ship "Donau" arriving at New York on April 26, 1869.

An active, enterprising and practical farmer, John H. C. Moeller of Cuming Township, is an able assistant in maintaining the reputation of Dodge County as a superior agricultural and stock-raising region, his success as a husbandman being unquestioned. A son of Casper Moeller, he was born, September 22, 1885, in Dodge County, where he has always resided. Born, bred and educated in Germany, Casper Moeller left his native land in 1859, crossing the ocean in a slow-sailing vessel, and came directly to Dodge County, Nebraska, in search of a favorable location. Homesteading a tract of land, he improved a fine farm, and was not only very successful as a farmer and stock-raiser, but attained a place of prominence and influence in the community where he lived, having served at one time as president of the Dodge County Bank, and having, also been president of the Farmer s Mutual Insurance Company. Giving up active pursuits in 1908, he has since lived retired at his pleasant home in Hooper. He married Joanna Langermeyer, a native of Germany, and of their union five children were born, as follows; Henry, engaged in farming in Dodge County; Louise, wife of Rev. J. H. Hargtenberger of Red Bud, Illinois; Caroline, wife of Amiel Neiborn, a farmer; Fredericka, wife of Emil Rink, a Dodge County farmer; and John H. C. of whom we write. The father is an independent voter, and both he and his wife belong to St. John?s Lutheran Church. Completing the course of study in the common schools of Dodge County, John H. C. Moeller attended the Fremont Normal School, thus materially advancing his education. Working with his father, he early acquired a thorough knowledge of the modern methods of farming, and in 1908 embarked in agricultural pursuits on his own account. He has since carried on general farming extensively and prosperously, as a stock raiser, making a specialty of Poland China hogs, in the raising of which he has been very fortunate. He is also interested to some extent in other affairs, being one of the stockholders of the Hooper mill. Mr. Moeller married February 24,1908, Frieda Rink, who was born in Dodge County, where her father, Jacob Rink was a pioneer settler. Five children have been born of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Moeller, namely Lois, Agnes, Eugene, Elhardt and Etta May.

(Paper No. 2) The experience of Mr. Munderloh and family were very similar to that of the Monnich's. Mr. Munderloh's family at this time consisted of a wife who was a sister of Mr. Monnich, and two daughters, now Mesdames Herman Bohling and Wm. Hilgencamp. They settled near Monnich's on what the government survey afterwards called the S. E. 1/4, section 12, township 1, range 19. In 1858 Mrs. Munderloh died and in 1860 Mr. Munderloh married Mary Stork. George, Henry, Louisa, Lena and Amelia all now living were the children left when she died in 1880. Mr. Munderloh died in 1869. Of this family George now lives near Beemer, Henry and Louisa, now Mrs. C. H. Milverstedt, are residents of Hooper, Lena married Henry Klempke, and lives in Scribner and Amelia resides in Fremont, the wife of Mr. Kasebaum. Mr. Munderloh was born in Germany in 1820 and with his family came to the United States in 1854. He always believed this was destined to be a great country, but his death, eleven years after coming here gave him but little opportunity to see the fulfillment of his predictions. After his death the widow assisted by the family carried on farming operations with the same success as did her husband. Of course they in common with others saw hard times, but by the exercise of economy and much work they weathered the floods and blizzards, drouths, hot winds and grasshoppers firmly believing that deliverance would come sooner or later, and who can deny that their faith has not been rewarded while the transformation of the country has been great indeed.hhw The following entry is from the 1860 US census for Nebraska, CD M653\665\32 Name Age Sex Occupation Real Pers Born at Gerd Mundalow 40 M Farmer 1,500 200 Altenburg Kate " 5 F Iowa Annie " 2 F Neb Munderloh, Jared - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name on Tombstone = Mary S.

As a pioneer settler Mr. Raasch saw and went through all the struggles and hardships of those early days, but with a tenaciousness of purpose stuck thru it all and had seen this community grow into the garden spot of the country. His life was an open book and held the highest respect and confidence of all the people of this community.

G. Paulsen, of near Bancroft, at the age of 83 years, 11 months and 23 days.

As Barbara Uehling, deceased was born in Saxony, Germany, March 13, 1839. When still a young girl, she came to America with her parents, locating at Watertown, Wis., which was the first home of many of the first settlers of this community. There in 1857 she was united in marriage to John Raasch, who preceded her in death two years ago, and there she made her home until 1865, when the westward trip to the new home in Nebraska was made. The family took up a homestead north of our present city. This place, which is now farmed by B. H. Monnich, remained her home until 1902, when she and her husband removed to Hooper to occupy the home they had erected in the southeast part of town and spend the sunset days of their life in retirement and ease. A year ago last January she went up to Bancroft to make her home with her daughter. The passing of this beloved woman is once more a reminder that the sturdy pioneers who helped to make this land one of plenty are fast answering the final summons and passing to the Great Beyond. She was a woman who through the trials of pioneering bore her lot with much fortitude and her ever-ready willingness to lend a helping hand in those days to neighbors in need caused her to become well beloved by all; and so her demise is mourned by many. She was a Christian woman, a woman dutiful to her home ties and devoted to relatives, friends and neighbors. She was the mother of four daughters and seven sons, two of the former and four of the latter surviving. They are Mrs. H. G. Paulsen of Bancroft, Mrs. Wm. Hoefner of West Point, Casper of Prairie Home, Gottlieb of Denver, Emil of Omaha, and Henry of Ashland. She is also survived by two sister, Mrs. August Wagner and Mrs. John F.

The accident happened three miles west of West Point and occurred as young Sass and Walter Langemeier, a neighbor boy, were returning from a visit over Saturday at Beemer. On reaching this spot in the road, the Ford Touring car, with Langemeier driving, struck some loose gravel which caused the car to skid and to overturn, the two boys being pinned underneath the wreckage. Langemeier was able to extricate himself and then put forth his efforts to getting out young Sass in which he was assisted by passing motorists. Sass was taken immediately to a West Point hospital where it was found he had suffered a broken leg and serious internal injuries. He lingered until evening when death came to him with members of the family at his bedside. Young Langemier escaped with a bruised leg and a few other contusions about the body, and is now about recovered from his experience. The car was completely wrecked.

In 1881 he came to Scribner, Nebraska, near which place he rented land one season, and then bought wild land which forms a part of his present farm, which now contains five hundred and sixty acres. His residence is one of the best farm houses in the Elkhorn Valley. He is extensively engaged in stock raising and feeding; he usually keeps over one hundred head of cattle. He is a stockholder in the State Bank at Wisner. Politically he is a Democrat, always taking a great interest in public affairs. For two years he represented the township on the board of supervisors. He was also justice of the peace for several years and is now town treasurer. In educational matters he is quite active, and is giving his children a good educational opportunity. He belongs to the German Lutheran Church, and was a liberal contributor towards the church building erected in hs township. He was united in marriage December 3, 1871, to Gesine Luschen, a native of Oldenburg. Our subject and his wife have three living children and three deceased; Fritz accidentally drowned; Johanna, Anna, Emma, died of diphtheria; John died of scarlet fever, and Mary. The older children are being educated in German as well as English. Since Mr. Teebken first located farm land in his neighborhood has increased from four to five hundred per cent. When he arrived in Marengo, Iowa, he had seventy-five cents in money left, and owed thirty-five dollars of his passage money, which he afterwards sent back to the old country. But he has come to be one of the most prosperous and progressive farmers of Cuming County, Nebraska. To one who comes from the Old World without means and builds for himself a home in a new prairie county, and finally becomes wealthy, there must be attached no little credit. And be it said of the German people that they furnish a large per cent of the successful farmers and business men of this country today.hhw Teebken, Johann - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name on Tombstone = Emma A.
