Obituary - Sophia Kroeger
The Hooper Sentinel
June 9, 1898
Sophia Kroeger died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Uehling, at
the age of seventy-nine years, eight months and nineteen days. She
was born in Wittenford, Mecklenburg, Schverin, Germany, September
14th, 1819(1), was married to John Kroeger in 1838 and emigrated
with her family to Dodge County in 1867, where she lived up to her
death. In 1870(2), three years after she came to this country, her

living. Three sons, John of Los Angeles, Cal., and Krist and
Christopher of Hooper, Three daughters, Mrs. Sass of Beemer, Mrs.

her home up to her death. Besides her own children she had 26
grand children and 28 great grandchildren.
The funeral services were held at the German Lutheran Church, of
which she for many years had been an active member. A host of
friends, who on account of her earnest Christian life and noble
character, had learned to love and respect her, were present at the
funeral. Her only desire and constant prayer in the last days of
her life was to be relieved from her suffering and transferred to
the mansions above where she knew God according to his promises had
prepared a place for her. As her life had been a constant battle
so her death was a grand victory. She is gone but her life still
shines forth in the memory of those who surrounded her as a worthy
example to follow.

June 3, 1898 and was 79 years 8 months and 17 days old, which would
give her a birth date of Sept. 17, 1818.

Compendium of History, Reminiscence and Biography
Fred Uehling
Mr. Fred Uehling of Bloomfield, is truly one of the pioneers of the
state of Nebraska, having been a resident of the state since the
fourth of July, 1864. On that day his father, John Uehling,
settled in Dodge county, four and a half miles north of where
Hooper now stands. Omaha, seventy miles distant, was the nearest
trading town and the trip took nearly a week in going and coming.
His was one of nine families who migrated across the country from
Wisconsin, their calvacade consisting of eleven teams; some owning
horses, some oxen.
John Uehling was a native of Saxony, as was the mother, Elizabeth
Toutfetter. The former died in the spring 1885, at the age of
eighty-six, and the latter in July, 1880, at the age of sixty-
eight. They came to America in 1852 in a sailship, embarking at
Hamburg. After a voyage of fourteen weeks, they landed in New York
and came direct to Wisconsin, settling in Dodge county in 1852.
Here he farmed for twelve years, until migrating to Nebraska. He
was in better circumstances than most of his neighbors, having two
wagons drawn by a yoke of oxen and team of horses. He had started
with four oxen, but traded for horses on the way. The father
homesteaded a quarter section and bought two hundred and forty
acres additional, and here he lived until his death, as above
stated, in the spring of 1885. The son Fred, was running the farm
at the time, the father having retired. The mother's death had
occurred five years before, while visiting with her daughter, Mrs.
Elizabeth Wagner of Dodge county.
Fred Uehling was born in Dodge county, Wisconsin, June 29, 1853;
his eleventh birthday was celebrated in Iowa on the way to the
west. Mr. Uehling began his own business career farming his
father's land until 1882, when he moved to Scribner, the father at
the time making his home with another son. In Scribner, Mr.
Uehling engaged in the furniture, and implement business.
In 1881 he moved to Oakland, and opened a meat market in which he
was engaged for nine years. Under the firm name of Holmquist and
Company, he entered the grain and lumber business in 1892, selling
in 1900 to come to Wausa. Here he built a mill and elevator, which
in 1901 he traded for a farm in Knox county and moved to Wisner.
In the spring of 1902 he came to Bloomfield and opened a lumber
yard and also a bank; he erected a business block on the main
street, and for a few years engaged in the hardware business. In
1909 he traded the stock of goods for a farm, and on May 20, 1909,
sold his interest in the bank, retiring to private life. He now
gives personal attention to his landed estates and town property
keeping them in good repair and occupied by thrifty tenants. As a
business man and manager, Mr. Uehling is a pronounced success.
What he has, was accumulated by his own effort, and invested in a
safe and profitable way under his own judgment.
Mr. Uehling was married in Dodge county, November 3, 1877 to Miss
Marie Kruger, a native of Mechlenburg, Germany, daughter of Joachin
Kruger, who emigrated to America in 1868. Mr. and Mrs. Uehling
have six children, namely: Ina, wife of W. H. Bosse, of Meadow
Grove, Nebraska; Feodor, in business in Omaha; Emil, Fred,
Henrietta, wife of George Bloodhart, a merchant of Bloomfield and
Dorothy.
Mr. Uehling is a democrat in politics, and a member of the Lutheran
church. He holds membership in both the Woodmen of America and the
Woodmen of the World.
During the first two years of their life in Nebraska, the Uehling
family occupied a dugout, building material being scarce as were
also money, and provisions. They had a cow, so enjoyed milk and
butter. A mill on Logan creek ground their scant supply of wheat.
The many blizzards that swept the plains are well remembered. Mr.
Uehling was living at Oakland at the time of the blizzard of
January 12, 1888. Mrs. Uehling, in attempting to get the children
at school was herself lost for a time on her way home.
Deer and antelope were plentiful when the family setled [sic] in
Dodge county, and wild turkeys were still to be found, Mr. Uehling
having bagged many of them in his hunting days. They have seen
hailstorms of the worst kind, one of them having come since the
family has been living in their present house; in the country they
have seen hail blown into hollows two feet deep.
Mr. Uehling is one of the substantial men of Nebraska, self-made,
self-reliant and self-sustaining. Of such is the best blood of the
community and the bulwark of the state.
UEHLING, FREDERICK
