Three sons, John of Los Angeles, Cal., and Krist and Christopher of Hooper, Three daughters, Mrs. Sass of Beemer, Mrs. Fred Uehling of Oakland and Mrs. Martin Uehling with whom she made 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.

Bosse of Meadow Grove), Feodor of Omaha, Emil, Fred, and Henrietta (wife of George Bloodhart) all of Bloomfield, and Dorothy. From the Bloomfield Monitor. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Omaha World Herald 3-13-1914 Fred Uehling Dies at The Home of His Son Fred Uehling died Wednesday at the home of his son, F.
