Hebron Register-Champion, Hebron, NE, Oct. 19, 1922
Conrad Beisner, a pioneer resident of this county and prominent in county affairs for many years, died Sunday evening at his home in the northeast part of the city after a lingering illness that has lasted periodically over a number of years.

After enjoying the most robust health for all his life he began to fail during the last years of his life and last spring he was taken quite dangerously ill his illness later abating, only to recurr. He then submitted to an operation in July and slowly gained in strength and was improving until Saturday last he was taken again violently ill and he died Sunday evening.

Mr. Beisner was born October 27, 1840, in the village of Schoholden, Province of Hesse-Nassau, Germany. In 1868 he emigrated to America and in the same year was married to Louise Rohde. To this union were born eleven children, ten sons and one daughter. One son and the daughter died in infancy and another son, John George, died at the age of 25 years.

In America the family first settled near State Center, Ia., where they engaged in farming and stock raising. In 1879 they moved to Nebraska and settled on a farm near Friedensau. Here they lived for about twenty-six years and in the course of time Mr. Beisner became prominent in political affairs and was elected to the Nebraska legislature for two terms, in 1899 and in 1901. The family home was wrecked by a cyclone on June 5, 1908, the family barely escaping death. Mr. Beisner then rebuilt farther to the southeast on the upland where they lived for eleven years. When two of the younger sons were drafted into the service during the World War Mr. and Mrs. Beisner retired from the farm and moved to Hebron in March, 1919.

For many years Mr. Beisner and his family were members of Friedensau Ev. Lutheran church of Deshler, later uniting with the church here.

Mr. Beisner had but recently completed building a new home in the northeast part of the city, and they had occupied it for only two months when death came.

Surviving Mr. Beisner are his grief-stricken widow who has long been in feeble health, eight sons, twenty-three grandchildren, his twin sister who lives in Germany and a brother residing in Iowa, besides many other more distant relatives and a host of friends. The sons are William, Fred, August, Henry, Herman, Ernst, Lawrence and Albert.

Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon from the Presbyterian church, the Rev. W. F. H. Heuer, pastor of Grace Lutheran congregation, officiating, and interment was in Rose Hill cemetery.
