Obituary
The Hooper Sentinel
January 4, 1900
Buer - Gerhard Frederick Buer was born in Hanover, Germany, Nov.
29, 1816, and died at the home of his son in Hooper, Nebr., Jan.
3rd, 1900 at the age of 83 years, 1 month and 4 days, of Bright's
disease, after an illness of about 4 weeks.
His boyhood and youth were spent in his native country, but in 1858
he emigrated to the United States, settling in Indiana where he
made his home until 1884 when be removed to Dodge county, Nebraska,
to make his home with his son, John F. Buer, and where he lived
until his death.
Grandfather Buer was naturally strong and healthy, and until about
4 weeks ago his health had been considered good, but the
infirmities of age were slowly but surely undermining his splendid
constitution and he was suddenly stricken down. His sickness
developed so quickly and was so painful that his attending
physicians decided on an operation, but even this would not do and
his strength was not sufficient to combat the disease and burden of
many years and he sank slowly but steadily until the summons came
to "cross the dark river."
He leaves of his immediate family but one son, John F. Buer, who
with his wife, 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren will mourn
his loss.
In religion Mr. Buer was a member of the German Evangelical
Lutheran church and his funeral services will be conducted by his
pastor Rev. Bergt from the home to the German Luth-church in Hooper
at 1 o'clock (tomorrow) Friday afternoon. The interment will be in
the German cemetery north of town.

John F. Buer, residing at Hooper, came to Dodge County, in the
spring of 1870, and located in what was then known as Logan
Precinct of Dodge County, where he took a homestead of eight acres,
upon which he made good improvements, and lived for about six
years, and kept adding to his land, until he had two hundred and
forty acres. At the time of his coming, his nearest neighbor was
one and a half miles away. In 1885, he moved from his place to
Hooper, where he was elected constable, collector and also Marshall
of the town. He also engaged at auctioneering, which he has
followed more or less for ten years, during which time he has
served as deputy sheriff of Dodge County for one and one-half
years.
Our subject was born in Germany, September 24, 1848, the son of
George and Mary Buer, natives of Germany, whose three children
were; Henry (deceased); Mary and John F. Our subject was ten years
of age when he came from Germany. They landed at Baltimore in
1858, and from there went to Jackson County, Indiana, where the
family remained and where he remained until he was twenty years of
age and came to Dodge County, Nebraska, where he has since lived.
He had a common school education, and was united in marriage
October 1, 1871, to Lizzie Trimple, the daughter of Gerhart and
Alesa (Weebold) Trimple, natives of Germany, whose three children
were; Lizzie, George and Hannah.
Our subject and his wife are the parents of eight children, born in
the following order; Lizzie, August 14, 1870, Louise, July 14,
1875; John, May 20, 1887; George, July 3, 1881; Hannah, June 1,
1884; Martin, August 27, 1886; Henry, July 16, 1889, and Alla,
December 22, 1891.
Politically, our subject affiliates with the Democratic party, and
in religious matters is a Lutheran. Being among the early settlers
of the county, it was his ill fortune to be in the country when the
grasshoppers made such sad havoc.

Obituary
The Hooper Sentinel
September, 1920
Herbert Frese Called
Death entered the home circle of Rev. H. C. Julius Frese, pastor of
the St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran church, northwest of town,
Monday, September 6, and took therefrom the son and brother,
Herbert, aged 9 years and 10 days. Master Herbert's death occurred
at the Fremont hospital to where he had been taken last week
Wednesday, and was caused by acute inflammation of the pancreas.
His illness dates back but two weeks when he complained of pains in
his legs. At first nothing much was thot of it, but the pains
gradually increased and went up higher into his body. All that
could be done by medical skill and loving hands was to no avail,
death coming to relieve him of his sufferings. Rev. and Mrs. Frese
were with their son when the final summons, the former having gone
down with Herbert to the hospital and Mrs. Frese being summoned on
Thursday when it was seen that life on this earth would not be
long.
Herbert, who had just passed his ninth birthday, was born on the
church premises of which his father is pastor, on August 26, 1911.
His short span of life had been spent out there and during this
time he had endeared himself to all who knew him. His death cast a
gloom over that community and the heartfelt sympathy of the friends
of the family goes out to them in their time of sorrow. Besides the
parents he leaves to mourn his untimely loss two brothers and two
sisters, Alfred, Elmer, Lydia and Else. The body was brought home
Monday evening. Funeral services will be held at the family
residence at 1:30 this afternoon and later at the church. Rev. H.
Pflug of Scribner conducting the services. Interment will be made
in the church cemetery.

Herman F. Havekost Dead
The community was greatly shocked to learn of the death of Herman
F. Havekost, one of our most prosperous and prominent young
farmers, at his home east of Hooper Sunday afternoon.
He was fist taken sick last Wednesday evening, he grew much worse
Thursday and after a consultation of doctors a surgeon was summoned
from Omaha and he was operated upon for appendicitis Friday
evening. The case was a very critical one and no hopes were
entertained for his recovery, although everything medical skill
could do was resorted to that his life might be saved.
Mr. Havekost was born, Sept. 25, 1879, and has resided in this
vicinity during his entire life time. He was married to Miss
Eliese Krueger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Krueger, on February
10, 1904, and to them were born three children, two sons and a
daughter, who with the grief stricken wife are left to mourn his
untimely departure. The parents of the deceased are Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Havekost, residing north of this city, and he also leaves
several brothers and sisters.
Until about two years ago Mr. Havekost lived on the home place with
his parents, he than purchased the Siebrasse farm, east of Hooper,
on which he has made extensive improvements and arranged into a
model country home. He was held in the highest esteem by the
entire community and was considered one of the foremost
agricultural men in this section of the country.
Funeral services were held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from the
German Lutheran church, east of Hooper, conducted by Rev. Lang, and
interment was made in the German Lutheran cemetery north of town.
Havekost, Herman

months illness from kidney and heart trouble, and though his health
failed rapidly during this time, yet Mr. Hoegemeyer kept up his
courage and tried to be up and around as usual every day until his
strength failed him, and the sleep that knows no awakening finally
came to him.
His death removes from this community a man highly respected by his
fellowmen, one, who as a pioneer staked his all on the future of
this country and eventually saw his faith in the country rewarded
through hard work with a number of fine and properties. As a
pioneer he suffered and endured the trials of the early days, but
his faith never faltered and he proved himself to be one the
successful farmers of the locality. He was an active man up to his
last, and always took a particular interest in matters that were
for the betterment of the community.
Mr. Hoegemeyer had attained the age of 79 years and eight months,
having been born on March 22, 1849, in Germany. In 1869 when a
young man of 20 years he came to the United States, coming west by
rail to Council Bluffs, Iowa, and then by boat to Washington county
where he worked as a farm hand for a couple of years. In 1871 he
took up a homestead in Dodge county later buying the farm northwest
of Hooper and since had been a resident of the county. On July 11,
1873, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Stork. To this union
eight children were born, a son, Henry, dieing in infancy. The
living children are William of Scribner, August and Mrs. Henry
Heitshusen of Lyons, Casper of Dodge, Christ, Mrs. Emil P. Miller
and George of Hooper. Mrs. Hoegemeyer died September 6, 1914, and
since then Mr. Hoegemeyer has made his home with his son, George.
The funeral was held Saturday afternoon, with services at 12:30 at
the late home and at one o'clock from the St. Johns Lutheran church
of which the deceased was an active member. The Pastor, Rev. Theo.

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.
Mr. Hoegermeyer married, in 1916, Lydia Whitman, who was born in
Indiana, and they have two children, Walter and Hugo.

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.

Christian Kroger, one of the enterprising agriculturists residing
on Section 8, Hooper township, Dodge County, came to these parts in
the fall of 1867, and first located in Cuming township, where he
took a homestead of eighty acres, which he improved, including the
erection of a frame house 16x24 feet and bought another eighty
acres of land. He had an artificial grove of five acres and a small
orchard on his place. In 1883 he sold out and moved to Hooper and
engaged in merchandising for one year, when he sold and bought the
farm which he now occupies, which consists of four hundred and
sixty-four acres of partly improved land. He has a good class of
farm buildings including barns, granary and double-cribs; also a
grove of five acres and an orchard of seventy five trees. He
commenced in Dodge County without one dollar's worth of property
and during the grasshopper years they destroyed nearly his entire
crop. Not having any oats he was compelled to feed his horses
wheat.
Christian Kroger was born in the German Empire, December 1844, the
son of John and Sophia Kroger, natives of Germany, who had a family
of six children; John Jr., Sophia, Christian, Catharine,
Christopher and Mary, all of whom are living. He remained in his
native land until twenty-four years of age, during which year he
landed in New York, and from there came direct to Nebraska. His
early advantages for an education were good.
He was married in October, 1869, to Sophia Rogensock, daughter of
John and Sophia Rogensock, natives of Germany, whose three children
were; Sophia, Lena and Henry, all of whom are living.
Our subject and his wife are the parents of seven children; Herman,
Anna, Malinda, Louisa, Frederick, Harry and Arthur.
Mr. Kroger is one of the directors of the Farmers Grain and Stock
Company, president of the Farmer's Butter and Cheese Factory, and
is in possession of a handsome property. He has seen many changes
in the country since he fist came to Nebraska, when Omaha was his
nearest market place.
Politically, he votes the Independent ticket, and in religious
matters both he and his wife are consistent members of the Lutheran
Church.

Mrs. Christian Kroeger Passed Away Dec. 27th
Again the Grim Reaper has passed through the ranks of the old
residents and garnered another of our splendid pioneer women unto
himself. 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.
Sophia Roggensack was born Sept. 8, 1850, in Mecklenburg, Schwerin,
Germany, and came to America with the parents at the age of 6
years. The family first settled at Chicago where they remained for
three years when they came to Nebraska locating near West Point.
Later her parents took a homestead one mile north of Hooper, the
farm on which Harry Kroeger resides. On October 1, 1869, she was
united in marriage to Christian Kroeger, who preceded her in death
about seventeen years ago. To this union eleven children were born,
six of whom survive. About twenty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Kroeger
retired from active farm life, moving to Hooper and making their
home in the east part of town. It was here that the husband and
father died in January, 1911. His widow continued to make her home
in Hooper until about four years ago when she went to live with her
children until her death at her daughter's home on December 27,
1928, at the age of 78 years, 3 months and 19 days.
Mrs. Kroeger was one of the finest types of the pioneer days, a
good mother, a true friend, and a kind neighbor. There are many
left to mourn the passing of such a woman.
The surviving children are Herman of Denver, Colo., Mrs. Chris
(Anna) Schulenberg, Mrs. Geo. F. (Linda) Rabe, Mrs. Carl (Eliese)
Schulenberg, Fred and Harry, all of Hooper. She is also survived
by sixteen grandchildren, one great-grandchild and one sister, Mrs.
Lena Koehler of Uehling. The many friends of these bereaved ones
extend to them the deepest sympathy in their time of sorrow.
The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon from the Chris
Schulenberg home at one o'clock and from the St. Johns Lutheran
church at 1:30, Rev. Theo. Norden, pastor of St. Johns church,
conducted the services which were very largely attended. Interment
was made in the church cemetery.

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. He came to Nebraska with his parents in 1882 and settled on a
farm northwest of Hooper in which neighborhood he lived almost
continuously excepting for one year at Central City and three years
at Atkinson, moving to Hooper from the farm when he retired last
year.
He was united in marriage to Miss Bertha Stover on May 25, 1899,
and to their union a family of ten children were born, two dying in
infancy. Surviving to mourn the sudden and tragic death of a
beloved husband and father are his widow, one daughter and seven
sons. They are, John, Edwin, Elmer and Clara (Mrs. Norman Keller),
all of Hooper, Walter and Arnold of Nickerson, Gilbert of Scribner,
and Wilbert of Snyder; two brothers, William of Plainview and Harry
of Hartington; two sisters, Mrs. Clara Schiemmeier of West Point
and Mrs. Louisa Nieman of Perham, Minn. Thirteen grandchildren
also survive as well as a host of friends who had learned to trust
and respect him thru out the years.

Pioneer Woman Called to Her Eternal Rest
Last Wednesday morning, July 24, at 10 o'clock at the Scribner
hospital occurred the death of another of the grand old pioneer
women of this vicinity when Mrs. Caroline Langemeier, aged 81
years, was called to her eternal rest. She had been a patient at
the hospital for the past nine weeks when she was taken there for
treatment after a fall which resulted in a broken hip. Her
advanced age made it impossible for her to rally from the effects
of this accident which culminated in her death.
Caroline Dipper was born at Rising Sun, Indiana, September 24,
1847, and died at Scribner, Nebr., July 24, 1929. She grew to
womanhood at the place of her birth and was there united in
marriage to H. H. Langemeier who preceded her in death about 14
years ago. They came to Dodge county 48 years ago and for nearly
half a century this county was her home. For over twenty years she
and her husband and family resided on a farm north of Hooper,
moving to Scribner about 26 years ago. Since the death of her
husband, Mrs. Langemeier had been making her home with her
children. She was the mother of nine children, three sons and two
daughters surviving to mourn the loss of a loving devoted mother.
They are George of Hooper; Harry of Wausa; Willie of Plainview;
Mrs. Wm Schiermeier of West Point, and Mrs. Herman Nieman of
Perham, Minn. She is also survived by 35 grandchildren and 12
great-grandchildren. Mrs. Langemeier was reared in the Lutheran
faith and was ever active in the service of her church. She was a
member of the Scribner Lutheran church and showed her true
Christian spirit by her many acts of neighborly kindness and her
devotion to home and family throughout the four score years of her
life.
Funeral services were held from the home of her son George,
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock and from the St. John Lutheran
church northwest of Hooper at 2:30. The English part of the
service was conducted by Rev. Lobeck of Scribner and the German
part by Rev. Theo. Norden of St. Johns. A large concourse of
relatives, friends and former neighbors were present to pay their
last respects to the departed. Burial was made in the church
cemetery. The following out of town relatives were present: Mr.
and Mrs. H. Nieman of Perham, Minn., Mr. and Mrs. Harry Langemeier
and daughter and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Enquist of Wausa, Mr. and Mrs.
Will Langemeier and son, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Langemeier, and Mrs.

years, and was highly respected by his neighbors in the community
in which he had lived so long.
Frederick William Luecking was born in Westfalen, Germany, July 21,
1841, and came to the United States and to this community in 1868.
He had been married twice. The first time to Margaret Becker in
1870. Of this union five children were born, three of whom are now
living. In 1887 his first wife died, and a few years later he
married Augusta Degner, of West Point, who survives him.
The funeral will be held this afternoon from St. John's church,
