Basler legacy lives on in PLSD for three generations By Melissa
Anderson Times Staff Writer Published: Monday, August 24, 2009 9:19
AM CDT

Jodi Harper, her twin sons, Robert and Kyle, 6, and their
grandmother, Lynette Janssen, visited Walnut Creek Elementary
School, where the boys began kindergarten on Aug. 18. Janssen’s
father, Paul D. Basler, was superintendent for Papillion-La Vista
School District and now three generations of his family will have
attended PLSD schools.

Basler legacy lives on in PLSD for three generations


Ground breaks, stadium under way

Principal finds PLSD a family atmopshere The Papillion-La Vista
School District has seen generations of families walk through the
doors of its schools. The family of Paul D. Basler is the same — a
family with three generations of Papillion-La Vista students. But
Basler’s family has something more — he was the superintendent for
PLSD for 22 years before retiring in 1986. 

Basler was born on Sept. 24, 1917 in Hooper where he attended
elementary and high school, graduating in 1935. He went to Creighton
University on a football scholarship, then transferred to Midlands
College, also on an athletic scholarship. He came from a teaching
family. His mother, who graduated from Hooper in 1905, was a teacher
in country school, so it probably wasn’t surprising when he received
his bachelor’s degree in education in 1939 and went on to get a
master’s degree and a specialist in education degree from the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln. During the 1939-40 school year,
Basler began teaching in Beaver Crossing. He coached basketball,
football and track, and taught industrial arts. He then went to St.
Edward for the 1940-41 school year. 

In June 1941, Basler enlisted in the Army Air Force during World War
II and was a drill instructor, only serving in the United States. He
married Elvera Weitzenkamp in 1942. After serving during the war,
Basler taught a second semester in St. Edward and then became
principal and a coach in Wausa, Neb. for a short period of time.
When his daughter, Lynette (Basler) Janssen was born, he was
superintendent in Beemer, Neb. and his family stayed there for eight
years.  In 1957, he accepted a position in Plainview in northeast
Nebraska, which was a bigger school system than Papillion at that
time, where he served for seven years. Then in August 1964, after
Lynette’s brother graduated from Plainview, Basler moved his family
to Papillion, where he took the job as superintendent. He retired in
1986 after a 39-year career in education. He and his wife remained
in their home in Papillion until January 2004 when they moved to
Immanuel Trinity Village in Papillion and then to The Landing in
Lincoln in August 2004. Elvera passed away in 2005. 

Lynette graduated in 1967 from Papillion High School, which is now
the location of Papillion Junior High School. She kept the family
tradition alive and also went into the field of education. She said
one of her favorite classes in high school was home economics and
has now been a home economics teacher for 39 years, currently at
Papillion-La Vista South High School. She said teaching was in her
family’s blood. Lynette’s daughter, Jodi (Janssen) Harper, graduated
from Papillion-La Vista High School in 1994. Jodi said she remembers
her grandfather, or as she called him “Boppy”, coming to eat lunch
with her when he was the superintendent. He also taught her how to
swim. She then became a four-time metro and four-time state diving
champion. Lynette said that her parents would follow Jodi to all of
her meets. “My dad was really, really proud of that,” Lynette said.
“He would introduce her: ‘This is my granddaughter, Jodi, four-time
metro and state diving champion.’ So that was something he was very
proud of because he’d been a coach as well as superintendent.”
Basler’s favorite part of teaching was working with the children,
Lynette said. “He loved children. He liked working with them and it
didn’t matter whether he was a teacher or a father or grandfather,
he loved to have children around, do things for them, particularly
in athletics,” Lynette said. 

Basler died on Aug. 27, 2008, but his legacy at Papillion-La Vista
will live on, not only in those he guided and taught, but through
the next generation of his family as well. Jodi’s twin sons, Robert
and Kyle, 6, started their first day of kindergarten at Walnut Creek
Elementary on Aug. 18 just two days after their birthday.  They will
be in the graduating class of 2022. Jodi, who is a pharmaceutical
sales representative, said that Robert and Kyle are excited to start
school, which was apparent when the boys jumped up and down,
cheering that reading was the class they were looking forward to the
most this year. Jodi said she is excited as well for her boys to be
in a PLSD school because of the great competition throughout the
schools, especially between the two high schools. “I think within
competition breeds better students, better athletes so I think it’s
great that there is competition between the schools,” she said. “I
think it makes everything better.” Lynette said her father would be
proud to see three generations of his family go through PLSD. “He
would think it was great. He always felt that Papillion-La Vista
School District had the best quality education,” she said. “He
thought that for me and Jodi, and now he’d be very pleased that the
boys are going here. And that’s what he strived for in his
administration too.” She said that one thing people remembered about
her father was that he always wore a suit and tie, even to Nebraska
Husker games. He served on the Volunteer Fire Department in Beemer,
the church council in West Point, Plainview and Papillion, taught
Sunday school, the American Legion Commander in Plainview, was a
member of the chamber of commerce in Plainview, Isaac Walton League,
Phi Delta Kappa Education Fraternity, Nebraska Alumni Association,
and School Administrators’ Association. While in Plainview, he
reorganized 12 school districts, and he and Elvera were King and
Queen of Papillion Days.

Wm. Jeffers Dies of Heart Attack

News of the sudden death of William M. Jeffers, 50 year resident of
Hooper, came as a shock to family and friends at about 8:30
yesterday morning when he passed away without warning while resting
in a chair on the lawn of his home on north Main Street.

Henry Schemmel, who had been to the post office to get the Jeffers
mail found Mr. Jeffers apparently asleep in his chair and death came
just as Mr. Schemmel addressed him and attempted to hand him a
letter from his son which had come with the morning mail.

The deceased had been in poor health since last November, suffering
from a chronic heart ailment complicated by asthma, but lately he
had been feeling better and only that morning had enjoyed his
morning meal and had been walking about the yard before setting down
to rest.

William M. Jeffers was born near Osceola, Iowa, October 18, 1869,
died June 7, 1939, aged 69 years, 7 months and 19 days.  He was
married to Miss Sarah Rupert at Hooper on October 18, 1892.  Mr.

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 - Maxine Leslie

SALEM - Maxine Estelle Leslie was born April 16, 1922 in Hooper,
Nebraska to Ivan and Florence Jeffers. She passed away July 5, 2008.
Preceding her in death were husbands, Junior Little, Albert Bennett,
and Kenneth Leslie; and son, Eldon "Sonny" Little. She is survived
by her children, Donna (Bud) Ball of Salem, Sharon (Rich) Hansen of
Vancouver, Wash., Sandra "Cookie" Morriss of Salem, and Mike (Julie)
Little of Grande Ronde; 15 grandchildren; 32 great-grandchildren; 4
great-great-grandchildren; and siblings, Juanita of Dallas, Corky of
Ft. Collins, Colo., Don of Benton City, Wash., David of Dallas, and
Vonley of Salem.

The family came to Oregon when Maxine was a young girl. She married
and settled in Salem. Maxine moved to Vancouver, Wash. just two
years ago, but Salem was always home for her. She worked as a cook
and housekeeper for many years. Working for lawyers, judges, and
governors, plus many other dignitaries in Salem. She was assistant
manager of the Lee Apartments and she owned and operated Bennett's
Antiques. She was considered one of the most respected dealers in
the Willamette Valley, retiring gracefully. She was a joker and
loved to laugh. She would decorate for any and all holidays,
especially Christmas, once taking a limb and turning it into a work
of art. She'd cook for days before each holiday, baking her famous
sugar cookies, that no one could copy. Even using her recipe, they
weren't the same! (Personally, I think she left something out on
purpose!) We won't even mention the Chocolate Crunch.

Her greatest love was her family. They brought her so much joy, yet
sadness. She was always there for them, no matter what. She was
known by many and loved by all. She had many different names: Mom,
Old Grandma, Banana Grandma, Sis, Aunt Maxine, Max, and friend; but
to us, she will always be Momma. Viewing will be from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m. today. Funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Thurs., July 10 both
at Howell-Edwards-Doerksen. Burial will follow at City View
Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Howell-Edwards-Doerksen with

Obituary - Eldon Little


SALEM -Eldon L. Little died peacefully in his home with family on
July 18, 2007 in Grande Ronde, Oregon. Eldon was born the son of
Junior and Maxine Little in Salem in 1940. He was raised in the
Salem area, along with his surviving siblings, Donna Ball, Sharon
Anderson, Sandra Morris, and Michael Little. 

Eldon attended high school in Salem and then served in the U.S. Navy
until he was honorably discharged. Eldon was married in May of 1964
to Carrie Bates. This union gave birth to his two surviving
children, Robert Little and Christy Lebeau of Salem. Eldon was
employed primarily as a laborer and worked diligently to support his
family. Eldon worked for the Burkland Lumber Company until the
forest industry slowed. Eldon then went to work for Salem Sanitary
Service and retired at the age of 59. 

Eldon was a talented and gifted sportsman and athlete. His primary
passions were hunting, fishing, and baseball. Anyone who associated
with Eldon would quickly notice any conversation being altered to
talk about a hunting or fishing adventure. It is impossible to think
about Eldon without thoughts of him as a sportsman entering the
mind. Eldon's presence, humor and talents will be sorrowfully missed
by all. May God bless him and his family. A celebration of his life
will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 21 at the City View Funeral
Home, Salem.

Pioneer Woman Called by Death

Mrs. William Rupert, one of the few remaining pioneer women of this
locality, passed away last Friday morning, September, 25, 1931, at
4:25 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Shippee, and
Mr. Shippee, of Norfolk. Her death was due to heart trouble. Though
in failing health the past couple of years, it was not until two
weeks before her death that she was taken to her bed, and from that
time on her decline was rapid. Her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Jeffers, was
called to Norfolk last Wednesday and was with her mother when the
end came. The news of her demise was sorrowfully heard by the many
friends of this place and all extend sympathy to the bereaved
members of the family.

Her body was brought to Hooper and taken to the old home south of
the tracks to await the day of the funeral. This was held Sunday
afternoon at two o'clock from the Methodist church of which she had
been a faithful member for 56 years. The funeral sermon was preached
by Rev. E. S. Pangburn who gave a very glowing tribute to her memory
and her long-time membership in the church. It was a largely
attended funeral and the church could not near hold the people who
had come to pay her their last mark of respect. Interment was made
in the Hooper cemetery and the cortege was long that followed her
remains to their final resting place.

As Minnie Uehling, Mrs. Rupert was born at Watertown, Wisc., October
11, 1853, and thus she had attained the age of 77 years, 11 months
and 14 days. When a girl of 12 years she came with her parents to
Nebraska, the family locating at Logan Mills northeast of the
present site of Hooper, and during the interweaving 66 years this
place and community had been her home. Her marriage to Mr. William
Rupert occurred in September, 1869. Mr. Rupert died thirteen years
ago. After the marriage they resided on a farm, but five years
latter they moved to Hooper which then had been, but recently
founded and little city has since claimed her as one of its
citizens.

Mrs. Rupert was a devoted wife and mother, and kindly and helpful
friend and neighbor, always thoughtful for the feeling of others and
never too busy but that she could find time to lend a helping hand
whenever her services might be needed. Her motherly and friendly
nature endeared her to her friends, and her loss is just as deeply
felt by them as it is by her family.

Her close surviving relatives are four daughters and three sons, W.
J. Rupert of Sioux City, Iowa, Mrs. William Jeffers of Hooper, Mrs.
Emma Sanders of West Point Mrs. W. H. Shippee of Norfolk, Mrs.
George H. Moyer of Lamesa Calif., Lieutenant J. F. Rupert of th U.
S. Navy, and Julius Rupert of Oakdale. She is also survived by eight
grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Obitituary - John Sanders

The Hooper Sentinel March 20, 1924

PROMINENT ELEVATOR MAN DIES SUDDENLY 
Faithful Worker in Local Lodges and Hooper Gun Club.

A Deep pall of sadness overspread Hooper and community last Thursday
evening, March 13, when the news became known that John Sanders had
answered the final summons at 5:15 o'clock at his home in East
Hooper.  Death was due to heart trouble from which he had been a
sufferer for some years, the last two years showing a decided
increase in the seriousness of his ailment.  His final illness came
upon him Wednesday morning, and although his condition was
considered somewhat serious, it was not thought that death was so
near at hand, and none of our people were quite prepared to hear the
sad tidings so soon.  On the morning of the day of death, Mr.
Sanders was about his home for a short time.  But in the afternoon
he became worse and realizing that the end was near, he gave
instructions to visiting friends as to matters concerning his
personal affairs, and when death came it was to those at his bedside
as if he were just closing his eyes in peaceful sleep.  His work on
earth had been done.

Mr. Sanders was a native of Pennsylvania, having been born in Snyder
county on February 2, 1865.  His arrival in this locality was in
1878, making his home with his brother, Jacob, until 1886.  He was
united in marriage in May, 1892, to Miss Emma Rupert, who survives
him, and who now has the deepest sympathy of the community as a
comfort in her time of sorrow.  He is also survived by one brother,
Jacob, of this city, who is now the sole survivor of a family of ten
children.  His long residence in this community brought to him a
large acquaintanceship who mourn his passing.  He was a man of
kindly nature and commanded the respect of all.  He was ever helpful
and obliging by deed and ever sympathetic and willing in time of
distress of friends and neighbors.  For the past fifteen years he
had been in the employ of the Nye-Schneider company, holding
managerships for them at West Point, Emmett, Humphrey and Hooper,
taking the position here in July, 1918, following the death of the
late E. M Sharrar, and during these years held the utmost confidence
of his employers.  He was member in good standing in Longfellow
Lodge No. 89, Knights of Pythias; Francis Appleton Temple No. 39,
Pythian Sisters, and Hooper Lodge Knights of the Maccabees.  In the
former organization he held the office of Keeper of Records and
Seals for nearly five years and was one of its most faithful
workers.  He was also a member of the Hooper Gun Club.

The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, with short services at 1:30
at the home and at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church whose faith he
accepted shortly before death came to him.  The services were
conducted by Rev. R. D. Winker, who was assisted by Rev. R. W.
Livers of Grace Lutheran church, and were very largely attended, the
church not being near adequate enough to hold the friends who were
present to pay their last respects to his memory.  The Pythian
orders attended in a body, the Knights of Pythias having charge of
the services at their departed brother's final resting place in the
Hooper cemetery.

The out of town relatives present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs.
W. J. Rupert of Bloomfield, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dietz of Scribner, Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Shippee of Norfolk, and J. A. Rupert of Oakdale.

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.
