Mrs. Schwab was born in Bavaria, Nov. 30, 1816, her maiden name being Viet. She was united in marriage to Henry Schwab May 6, 1836, and with her husband emigrated to America in 1855, when they settled in Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. Schwab were pioneers of Nebraska, coming to Dodge county in 1861. She had been sick for about six weeks with a complicated stomach trouble and finally death came, but found her prepared; she died as she had lived, at peace with all mankind. Her life has been an open book in which can be read all that is good in a wife and mother, uneventful, perhaps, in the accomplishment of any great deed, but a model worthy of example; an affectionate and devoted wife and a loving and self-sacrificing mother, a friend to be prized and trusted and one whom friends mourn and miss when death takes them. She leaves, besides an aged husband, four children, Henry, Jacob and Adam Schwab, of Hooper, and Katie, now Mrs. Theodore Uehling, of Logan township, to mourn the loss of one so true. Mrs. Schwab was a member of the German Lutheran church, and the funeral services were conducted from Logan German Lutheran church yesterday at 10 o'clock a. m., Rev. Mr. Sieck, of Fontenelle, officiating, and the body was laid to rest in the Logan cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. - Sentinel. SCHWAB, KATHERINA ****************************************************************** Name on Tombstone = Henry Schwab Sr. Dates on Tombstone = d 14 Dec 1902 93 yr 6 mo Obituary Hooper, Nebraska Sentinel December, 18, 1902 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 judgement 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. (1) According to the IGI, he was born in Rieschweiler, Germany. Rieschweiler is now in Rheinland-Pfalz. Rhenish is a term for the Rheinland-Pfalz area of Germany. (2) Maria Catharina Veith - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Henry Schwab Sr. Family History 1876-1976 Centennial History of Hooper Page 208 The roots of the Schwab family and the culture thereof were transplanted into this United States of America from Bavaria, Germany near the French border. The paternal great, great, grandparents, Henry Schwab Sr. and his wife Katherine (Veight) were natives of Alsace Lorraine, Germany, born there in the later part of the eighteenth century. This was their home. They were born in Germany and they were married in the tradition German custom. To this union were born four(1) children, one daughter who later became Mrs. Theodore Uehling of Uehling, Nebraska, and three sons, Adam, Jacob, and Henry. All migrated to the United States in 1855 locating first in Dodge County, Wisconsin and subsequently in 1861 came to Nebraska. The journey began on April 1st from Madison not far from their initial home at Clyman where they had lived for nearly six years. Two families, the Wagners and the Schwabs traveled together to Nebraska by covered wagon and oxen, arriving on July 4th where the family settled down one and one half miles northwest of Winslow on a bluff which affords an inspiring view of the Logan and Elkhorn valleys. They found an abandoned log cabin about one mile from the Logan Mill. Both families moved into the one room below and one room above unplastered shelter. There were six Wagners and six(2) Schwabs sharing this dwelling with two stoves, two beds, table and chairs, besides a large chest which was used for a cupboard. The bill of fare was the same practically every day. There was toasted bread and milk (lucky they had two cows), their own cured meat. Finally two places were found where they could buy eggs at one place and potatoes at another. One large basin of eggs-5c please. Perishable foods were placed in large stone jars and put into the coolest places accessible in summertime. Feather beds were such a comfort through the hazardous winter weather of blizzards and heavy snows. Henry Schwab Sr. had his first farm in Dodge County which he gave up in favor of another which later became the Fleishauer place. In 1864 he took the homestead which later became the Henry Schwab Jr. farm northeast of Hooper. The mother passed away in 1887(3) leaving her husband and four children in the 160 acre tract of land for which they had paid $4 per acre. This tract of land remained in the Schwab family for many years. It was sold to Clarence Wollen in 1953 and at present is owned by the Horvatich family. It was after the Schwab family came that the first school house was built. Sometimes there was no money for school but it would resume during summer months or winter whichever was most feasible. In 1866(4) a log school was built with a man teacher in charge. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schwab Jr. attended the same school when they were youngsters. Their first teacher was Mrs. Christ Henneman, (Rachel Stork) and the school was held in the Rogensock home for the three summer months. Them came the log cabin school in 1866(4). There were Indian scares and problems but not any real serious trouble except for one incident when Henry Jr. was nearly killed. During one recess one of the boys challenged young Henry to snow ball an old Indian who was passing and boy fashion he did. The Indian could see no humor in this and hit the boy across the shoulders with a baseball bat. The teacher intervened, being a man, sent the Indian away, after putting an older girl in charge of the school so he could procure a revolver. Later the Indian tribe moved on. Farming and raising livestock was continuous employment until the elder Henry Schwab retired to Hooper where he lived in a small house below the hill near main street. He passed away in 1902 at the age of 93, leaving behind a Christian memory with his devout, worthy helpmate who were members of the Lutheran church. Politically he was a Democrat and active in civic affairs as they existed then. He lived his last years with his son Jacob. A resume of the four children of the senior Henry Schwab includes some interesting items some of which are noteworthy. Katherine Schwab, the only daughter married Theodore Uehling who were prominent residents of Uehling, Nebraska, where they homesteaded, built a log cabin covered with slough grass. Later, their lovely home was build east of the highway in Uehling. Their family, all who remained near the Uehling vicinity were; Mrs. Jess Golder, Mrs. Joe Preston, and seven sons Otto, Henry, Ed, Ludwig (father of Alma Osterloh) Martin, Fred and Frank. The only living member of this group is Mrs. Lena Uehling wife of Fred, and mother of Mrs. Marvin Fritz of Oshkosh, Nebraska. Jacob Schwab, a homesteader and farmer north of Hooper, married Paulina Weigle. They lived where Don Moseman now lives near the Logan Creek bottom land(5). Jacob and Paulina had no children but were very active in the Hooper Lodge. Jacob enlisted and served 11 months at Ft. Randall, where he was sent to help keep the Sioux Indians in check during the Civil War. When this Schwab couple retired they lived in a small house located where the Dale Sager residence in now situated. Later they lived in east Hooper until their passing. Adam Schwab, a homesteader, married Ricka Weigle to whom eight children were born; John, Reinhold, Ella, (mother of Walter Pfeiffer), Emma (her twin), Jacob, George, Matilda, Tina, and Alice. All are deceased except Alice Bangert of Ft. Lupton, Colorado. We will remember Rhenie as our own "Uncle Sam" in the Hooper parades. The Adam Schwab family in its entirety did no remain in the Hooper vicinity during their life long days but some as a family group moved to become farmers in Colorado. Henry Schwab, the youngest of the Henry Schwab Sr. family was three years old when his family came to the U.S. settling at Clyman, Wis. At the age of 9 he traveled to Dodge County and lived on the bluff overlooking the Elkhorn Valley. The Schwab family became neighbors of the Herman Monnichs, J.B. Rovinsons, Gerhard Munderloh, Joeum Rosensock and the George Weigle families who had already settled here. Henry Jr. remained with his father until 1874 when he bought his own land and became a successful farmer and stock raiser. In 1874 he married Louise Weigle, a neighbor girl. These were the days of frontier pioneering experiencing Pawnee Indian raids, stealing oxen and any available needed items. Mr. Schwab was a Democratic member of the legislature in 1886. He was director of District 15 for 20 years. A member of Blue Lodge of Masonic fraternity. He and his faithful wife were members of the Lutheran Church. He assisted in organizing and served on the board of directors of the original Farmers Elevator and Dodge County Fair in Hooper. He held the Fifty Year Gold Button and Jordan medal of the local Masonic Lodge. Henry and Louise worked diligently on their farm with the help of their children until 1910 when they moved into a newly built house where the Paul Parkerts now reside. Seven children were born to this couple, 2 daughters, 5 boys-all of whom earned their living resided in or around Hooper and raised their families here also. This was a delight to the elderly Schwabs who watched their sons and daughters progress through the usual ordeals of livelihood, Mrs. Schwab was a busy bee with flowers, made a high as 12 quilts a year, handiwork, cooking, church work, and general helping hand. She lived to be 86 years of age and left with us such pleasant memories. Henry Schwab after retirement was active until later years when blindness slackened his activities. His daughter Minnie lived with and took care of him in his last years. In the autumn of 1947 he became seriously ill and passed away on November 22 at his home after 95 years of an interesting pioneer life. The children of Henry and Louise Schwab all claimed Hooper as their home and have left some of their descendants to make the same claim. Many will remember these children, five who have died and two who still remain with us as of January '76. The eldest daughter, Minnie became Mrs. Henry Wagner to whom were born Norman, deceased: Leola -Mrs. Clark Shaffer of Hooper, Harry, deceased. Harry Schwab, who resided on the home place with his dear wife Catherine (Schwein) were parents of seven children; Verna, who passed away as a child in Ft. Collins, Colo., Esther -Mrs. Howard Row, Hooper; Harry -Parkview apartment resident of Hooper; Anita - Mrs. Gene Artrip of Seabrook, Md.; Mildred - Mrs. Ray Peele of Hyattsville, Md; Virgil -killed in air fight over New Guinea, married Madeleine Butts; Donald of Hooper who married Maralee Janssen. Frank Schwab married Anna Sommers who lived northeast of Hooper until his passing when Anna moved to Fremont. Their children are scattered over the great land of ours. They are Myrtle (Mrs. Stovall of Casper, Wyo.), Lois of Lincoln, James of Fremont, Barbara (Mrs. Johnson of Seattle), Stanley of Hastings, Inez (Mrs. Joe Moore of Akron, Ohio), Janet (Mrs. Hodges of Omaha). Edward married Martha Boyer. They had one son Clel who lost his wife in a car accident. Ed lived in Hooper with his family while he operated a hardware store. Martha was a dressmaker and artist. A daughter Louise who died young, was married to Peter Ewald who was in partnership with Elmer Schwab in the Ford business and garage. The had no children. Robert Louis was a banker who married Margaret Panning. They had one child who died at birth. Robert resides at Magil Hotel in Fremont, Nebr. The youngest (Babe) Elmer Schwab married Ida Bolte of Snyder. Mary Lou is their daughter. Babe and Ida live in Fremont. To the children of the afore mentioned five sons and two daughters have been born the present young ones who will carry on as have done the ancestors of the past. May God bless them as they do their utmost to keep our land the home of the free and the brave. (1) A fifth child, Charlotta, was born in Dellfeld, Germany on March 8, 1844, but must have died as a child since there is no further mention of her. The obituary for Henry Schwab Sr. states that there were seven children. (2) There were five Schwabs according to the Rose Wagner Stecher item in a "Historical Sketch of Logan Mills Community" in the Hooper Sentinel dated October 2, 1930. (Katharina married Theodore Uehling in 1860 and they had already moved from Wisconsin to Nebraska in 1860.) (3) The date of death on her head stone is 27 Feb 1888.

In 1855 he came to the United States and settled in Dodge county, Wisconsin, and in the spring of 1861 came to Nebraska. The trip from his Wisconsin home was made by an ox team. Crossing the river at Council Bluffs he came to Dodge county and located on what is now the Fieishhauer farm. He afterwards gave this up and in 1864 took as a homestead the se1/4, section 9, township 19, range 8. This farm is now the property of his son Henry. At the time of his coming here Mr. Schwab's family consisted of wife and four children; Catharine, now Mrs. Theodore Uehling, Jacob, Adam and Henry. Mrs. Schwab died in 1887. It was after Mr. Schwab came to the country that the first school house was built, and the Indian scare being over matters for the settlers were just beginning to get straightened out when the Civil war broke out. Volunteers were wanted to hold the Minnesota Sioux Indians in check, and in the fall of 1862 Jacob Schwab enlisted in the 2d Nebraska cavalry and was sent to Fort Randall. After eleven months service the regiment was mustered out without having seen any actual fighting. Politically and socially this family has been quite prominent in the history of this part of the country. In 1886 Henry Schwab, Jr., was elected a member of the Nebraska legislature and served one term. Mr. Schwab, Sr., is now 91 years old and is in the best of physical health, and for a number of years has made his home in Hooper with his son Jacob. This family endured all the hardships incident to pioneer life, but as that has been already given in detail before this it will be omitted in this connection, but of their connection with the development of the country we will have more to say in a future paper.
