WWI Letter From William Kallenbach

The Hooper Sentinel 
August 1, 1918

Some where in England.

Dear Folks: Hope this letter will find all you folks well and happy
and enjoying yourselves the best you can.  Pretty cool and windy
here today. l have a little cold, but otherwise I am getting along
my best. Pretty hard to write a letter now because I can't write
all that I would like to.  I could tell you lots of things that you
would like too know, but that is impossible for me to do now.  We
are being fed British war rations, and they are a lot better than I
expected.  If they keep on feeding us this way right along we will
get along nicely.  Going out on a eight mile hike tomorrow.  Just
for a little exercise.  Would like to get a hold of my barracks bag
to get some good old American Bull Durham tobacco.  This tobacco we
get here only makes a good fog, but I think we will be able to get
some soon.  At least I hope so.

How is the old town of Hooper.  I suppose it is pretty dead now.
The gardens here look pretty good.  The potatoes are blooming and
they are putting up their hay crop.  Some nice looking cattle in
this country and lots of grass.  Some of the fields are covered
with red poppies. They sure look nice. It gets daylight here pretty
early in the morning. Don't know where the Hooper boys are that
left with me.  Expect to run across them one of these days.  Have
they beard from Fred Janssen yet? Where is he at now?  Wrote you
folks a letter yesterday and perhaps you will receive both of these
at the same time.  Well it is getting late and about bed time so I
must close.  Will write again soon.  Good luck and good night. Your
son and brother, Bill.

Obituary - Louis Stroh

Louis Stroh at Rest

One by one the old-timers of Hooper are being called to their
reward. The last one to be called was Louis Stroh, whose death
occurred at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, July 18, 1920, from an attach
of heart trouble, which came over him about two hours before.  When
word of his sudden death was heralded about town Sunday morning, it
came as a great shock and surprise to Hooper citizens.  Although
ailing for some time past, he seemed to be in good health and was
to be seen about town every day. About Decoration Day he commenced
to complain, but nothing serious was thought of this, and on
Saturday he was about as usual, and as late as about 11 o'clock
that evening he was chatting with Will Schrade at Tunberg's garage.
He then left for home and as he stepped upon the porch of his home
was overtaken by the attack that caused his demise. His son,
Alfred, who lives next door, on hearing groans, surmised that
something was wrong. He hastily dressed and went over to his
father's place and there found Mr. Stroh hanging over the banister
of the porch. He called his sister, Mrs. Anton Tunberg and these
two were with him when the end came.  The other children were also
summoned, but they could not reach home in time.  A doctor was
called at the same time, but on reaching the bedside and examining
the patient gave out the sad news that the end was not far off, and
such proved to be the case, death coming to relieve him of this
world's sufferings at about 1 o'clock, and thus taking away one who
had been a resident of our fair city for nearly half a century,
forty-seven years to be exact.  His age was 67 years and 6 months.

Louis Stroh was born at Kiel, Germany, January 18, 1853. At the age
of seventeen he came to America, locating at Chicago.  Shortly
afterward Davenport, Iowa, claimed him as a resident.  In December,
1872, he came to Nebraska, locating at Omaha.  This place was his
home but a short time, for in 1873 he came to Hooper and has since
been a resident of this place. He was united in marriage in 1875 to
Henrietta Kallenbach, who preceded him in death on January 21,
1919.  To this union were born six children, all of whom still live
and are residents of Hooper and its vicinity.  Those who remain to
mourn the loss of father, and the memory of whom will be ever kept
are Mrs. Anton Tunberg, Mrs. C. H. Uehling, Louis, Edward and
Alfred and Mrs. Tom Cushman.  He is also survived by one brother,
Adoph, and a large number of sorrowing friends, whose sympathies
are with the bereaved children and relatives.

On coming to Hooper in 1873 Mr. Stroh engaged in mason work and
this he has followed, along with building contracting, ever since,
but for the past few years had not been actively engaged in this
work, his health not permitting of it, and a couple of years ago
disposed of his interest in the firm of L. Stroh and Son to his
son, Alfred.  He was an expert in his trade and a large majority of
the buildings of this vicinity are evidence of his craft.  He was a
man well respected by all and a booster for the upbuilding of this
community.  He was always willing to give whatever was in his power
to give to that of which was a help to Hooper, and ready to go to
the relief of a brother citizen in sickness or distress.

Funeral services were held at 1:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the
late home and at the Zion's Lutheran church at 2 o'clock, Rev. J.
Schrader having charge at both places. Interment was made in the
Hooper cemetery, beside the body of his late wife, and the services
there were in charge of Longfellow lodge, No.89, Knights of
Pythias, of which the deceased was a charter member.

Former Hooper Boy Takes His Own Life

Hooper relatives were greatly shocked on Monday when news of the
death of Earl Uehling, son of C. H. Uehling of Herman, came to
them. Death was self-inflected and occurred between six and 7:30
Monday evening while the father was at the home of a daughter for a
brief period.  Upon his return he found the body of his son, who
had used a shot gun to end his life.

The deceased, who was 36 years of age and unmarried, had never been
strong and recently ill health did not permit him to work.  This is
thought to have caused him to become despondent.

Funeral services, attended by many Hooper relatives, were held
yesterday afternoon at Herman and interment was made by the side of
his mother in the Herman cemetery.  Besides his father he is
survived by one sister, Mrs. Ben West, of Herman, and by a large
circle of more distant relatives.
