Joseph Stecher Called By Death
Another of the early day settlers of this community entered into his
final reward when death called Joseph Stecher of Winslow early last
Saturday morning November 17, at the St. Joseph hospital in Omaha.
On Wednesday Mr. Stecher had undergone a gall stone operation to
secure relief from an ailment that had troubled him for some time.
While he passed through the operation nicely, complications suddenly
set in and the end came rapidly and as a surprise to his many
friends here. His death removes a Dodge County resident of 69 years
standing. Mr. Stecher had attained the age of 76 years, 11 months
and 22 days, he having been born near Vienna, Bohemia, on November
25, 1857. At the age of 12 years he came to the United States with
his parents and two brothers and settled on a farm near Dodge, and
began a residence that made him widely acquainted in the county.
On February 6, 1878, he was married to Miss Rose Wagner of Hooper.
Following the marriage a home was established near Dodge followed
later by a short residence in Kansas, after which they returned to
Dodge county and settled on the farm four miles northeast of Hooper
now managed by his son, Louis. In 1916 he and Mrs. Stecher retired
from farm life to enjoy a well earned rest and moved to Fremont,
which city remained his home for the next 16 years. In the fall of
1932 Mr. and Mrs. Stecher moved back to the old familiar landmarks
to make their home in Winslow, but shortly afterwards or on January
15, 1933, death took away Mrs. Stecher and broke up a companionship
that had lasted for fifty-five years. In his years of residence in
this locality Mr. Stecher proved himself to be a successful farmer
and stock raiser, keeping abreast with the times of those years. He
was active and prominent in the affairs of the community in which he
lived and gained the high respect of his fellow citizens. He was the
father of four sons, one, Frank, dying in infancy and another,
Francis, passing away in 1928. The two who survive him are Lester of
Potter and Louis of Hooper. He is also survived by four
Grandchildren.hhw
