Henry Schwab Sr. Dead
A resident of Dodge County for over 41 years Henry Schwab, Sr. died at the home of his son, Jacob, last Sunday evening, about 11 o'clock. 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 judgment 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.hhw
