Old Settler Passes Away

Mr. Theodore Uehling at Uehling Gone to His Final Reward. Was a
Pioneer of the County

Tuesday morning February 13th, word came to Hooper that Mr.
Theodore Uehling, who has been in poor health several years and was
taken seriously ill a week ago last Monday, had passed away at his
home in Uehling at 9:37 o'clock.

All that loving hands, doctors and trained nurses could do, had
been done, but the Divine Father had willed that he should pass on
to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler
returned.

His demise was peaceful and quiet and as he called his loved ones
to his bedside for a last farewell, it must have been a wonderful
consolation to him to know that his children had grown to manhood
and womanhood and were all well to do and comfortably located in
homes of their own, that his life had been one that they look back
upon with pride and that on the accumulation of this world's goods
he had been successful to a large degree.

Mr. Theodore Uehling was born in Saxe-Meininger, Germany, 1836. In
1847 at the age of eleven years he came to Dodge county, Wisconsin.
On January 2nd, 1860, he was united in marriage with Miss Katherine
Schwab, who came to America in 1855 with her parents from Germany.
It was in May 1860, that he and his young wife left Wisconsin
traveling by ox team and arrived in Omaha July 2nd of that year.
They settled on Section 18, township 19, range 9, which in those
days was a part of Washington county but now belongs to Dodge
county. He homesteaded the land when the homestead act was passed
and lived on the place sixteen years, where he built a log house
and covered it with slough grass, which was used until 1870 when he
built frame buildings. He acquired by purchase the old home place
that joins Uehling on the east, where the family resided until he
built their modern home in the village of Uehling where they have
since resided.

In earlier days, Mr. Uehling was identified with the banking
interests of Hooper, was a member of Hooper Lodge No. 72, A. F. &
A. M., but after the town of Uehling was laid out on his farm land,
he moved to that place and has been actively identified with many
of the larger interests of that town. At the time of his death he
was president of the Uehling Townsite Co., vice-president of the
Uehling Hardware Co., and in earlier days has held positions of
trust with the gift of the people in the community in which he
resided. He built the elevator at Uehling now owned by the Farmers
Elevator Co., and the brick block occupied by the State Bank and
the Uehling Hardware Co.

He had the honor of being a charter member of Oakland Lodge No. 91,
A. F. & A. M. and it will be under the auspices of that
organization that the funeral services will be held at the home
Friday at one o'clock.

Besides his aged wife deceased leaves seven sons, two daughters and
a large number of other relatives and friends. The children are:
Otto, living 6 miles northwest of Uehling, Henry, 2 miles east of
that town, Ed., connected with the Townsite Co. and cashier of the
Uehling State Bank, Ludwig, lives on his farm adjoining the town,
M. A., resides north of Hooper; Fred is a member of the Uehling
Hardware Co., Frank is on the old home farm; Mrs. Jess Golder,
lives one mile east of Uehling and Mrs. Joel Preston, two miles
north of Oakland. Theodore was drowned when about seven years of
age.
His parents are Johann & Christine (Deusing) Uehling.
He married Katharina Schwab on 1-2-1860 at Richwood, WI.
Their 10 children are; Otto, Henry, Edward, Ludwig, Theodore, Martin, Friedrich, Lenora, Frank & Louisa.
