Mr. Bullock died Feb. 1 in Centennial. He was 79. A former student, Patty Meek, 45, still hears his voice in her head as she teaches special-education students at Sinclair Middle School in the Englewood school district. "Every time I bark at my kids about expectations, ever time I raise the bar, I think of Noel Bullock, because that is what he did" she said. It has been 30 years since Meek was a troubled, rebellious student in Mr. Bullock's American history class at Hinkley High School in Aurora. But she still remembers when she got wrapped up in her term paper on Leadville millionaire Baby Doc Tabor that she traveled the state doing research. She also remembers that days after someone broke into Mr. Bullock's classroom and destroyed his model airplanes, students slipped in early one morning and hung replacements they had made themselves. And she remembers that it had been more than a decade since she had seen her favorite teacher when she wrote him a letter thanking him for all he's done. Four days later, he wrote her back. He still remembered were she sat in the classroom and who she sat next to. Although beloved by his students Mr. Bullock was not, Meeks said , a "touchy-feely huggy bear teacher." After the tardy bell ran each period, he locked the classroom door. "You were always on time" Meek said. "He was very, very strict. You were just ramrod straight in his class. he cared about what you learned." Mr.. Bullock taught for 22 years in Aurora public schools and for seven years at the University of Denver. He believed not only in his student but also in aviation. Born March 29, 1925, in Denver, he was named for a pilot killed in the 1930's in an air race in Los Angeles. His brother Gerald flew reconnaissance mission during World War II. Another brother, Zeke, was at one time a pilot for Continental Airlines. He took his brother on his first plane ride in 1937. Mr. Bullock served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. In 1954 he help[ed organize the first aerospace education classes in the Aurora Public Schools. He went on to win numerous honors, including Federal Aviation Administration Award for Aviation Education and the Crown Circle Award for Aerospace Education Leadership. In 1969, he was Teacher of the Year. In 1981, he was inducted into the Colorado Aviation Hall of fame and the National Aerospace Education Hall of Fame. In addition to teaching high school and college students, Mr. Bullock also worked as a civilian regional director of aerospace education for the Air Force. In addition to his brother Gerald "Duke"Bullock, Mr. Bullock is survived by his wife, Ann; two sons, Mike and Tim; one daughter, Betsy Freudenberger; and four grandchildren.

Mr. Larson suffered his first stroke on Oct. 8, 1910, while on a hay sweep working in the hay field, from which he recovered but it left him crippled in his right arm and leg. After his recovery he became unusually active and came up town every day that the weather permitted. When the snow came it became necessary on account of his ailment to be confined to the house. From that time he gradually began to fail, dropsy having also set in, and towards the last he could only get around in the house by holding on to the back of a chair and pushing it ahead of himself. On the morning of his demise he had been up as usual and partook of a light breakfast and on becoming tired concluded he would lay down awhile. His wife and daughter, Mrs. Carl Kammerer, helped him to bed and left in a sitting position and stepped out of the room, when suddenly they heard a slight noise and they rushed back in to the bedroom and found that he had fallen back into bed. Thinking that he had fainted they applied a wet cloth to his head and summoned Dr. Perlee who upon arrival pronounced him dead. His death was not altogether unexpected. For a number of years before his first stroke he suffered from a peculiar fainting sensation when in a company of large gatherings which caused him to be of a retiring disposition and he avoided them if as possible. Oliver Larson was born in Limbeck, Wamhus, Sweden on Jan. 31, 1844. He landed in Castle Garden, New York, on July 29, 1863 and from there came to Chicago where he remained nearly a year, following the occupation of basket maker. In 1864 he came west to Omaha where he went to work for the Union Pacific which was then being built. Mr. Larson was married to Miss Anna Anderson in Chicago. She died about a year after marriage. July 5th 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Olson in Omaha. They came soon afterward to Dodge county and then on a homestead in Logan township. There they made their home until eleven years ago when they sold the place and bought one adjoining where they have since resided. He is survived by a wife, five sons, Oliver, Andrew, Daniel, Harvey, Edward, and four daughters, Mrs. Wm Ralph, Mrs. Aug. Koehler, Mrs. A. C. Kammerer and Miss Elsie Larson. The funeral services were held from the home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Arlander of Oakland officiating. Interment in the Baptist cemetery.

In September, 1864 Oliver applied for a homestead, application No. 417, for the NW quarter of Section 10 in Township 20N of Range 8E. The homestead papers state that he settled on this land on September 18, 1864 and was the head of a family.

Larson The Hooper Sentinel December, 29, 1927 Swaburg Community saddened by Death of O. Larson The Swaburg community was shocked and greatly saddened on Christmas morning upon learning of the sudden death of one of its most prominent and much esteemed citizens, Oliver O. Larson. Mr. Larson, who was apparently in his usual good health, had made a trip to Uehling, Saturday, to spend the evening. At eleven o'clock, he began to make preparations to return home when he was suddenly stricken with a heart attack, which was so severe that it was impossible to take him to his home, so he was removed to the home of his sister, Mrs. A. J. W. Koehler. He regained consciousness and was able to converse with the attending physician and with those about him, but later suffered a second attack and the final summons came at 5:50 o'clock, just at the dawning of Christmas day. Oliver O. Larson, the oldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Larson, was born on the homestead one-half mile south of Uehling, on July 27, 1867, and passed away at Uehling on December 25, 1927, at the age of 60 years, 4 months and 28 days. He was baptized in the home of his parents by a Mission pastor and in his youth taught a class in Sunday School for several years. He attended the Fremont Norman College and was one of Swaburg's pioneer school masters. On March 20, 1893, he was united in marriage to Miss Mattie Stover, at West Point, and they established their first home in Cuming Township in Burt County, later moving to Swaburg which has since been the family home. The deceased, who was a man of keen intellect, was one of Swaburg's most public-spirited citizens, being interested in all movements pertaining to the welfare of the community. He was possessed of a jovial and congenial personality and was a good friend and neighbor, one who will be greatly missed in Swaburg's circle of citizenry. Mr. Larson took an active part in politics and was widely known throughout Dodge county, having been a candidate for assessor several years ago, when he polled a large vote of confidence from his friends. For the past several years he had been the very efficient assessor for Logan township, which office he held at the time of his demise. When a resident of Burt county in the early days, he held a similar office there. He was a man of integrity, and always earned the special commendation of his superior officers in the work. He was also much interested in school affairs, and for many years served as the able director of the Swaburg school district. There remain to mourn his passing, the wife and seven children, Gertrude (Mrs. D. E. Conklin) of Craig; Walter, of Uehling; Luella (Mrs. Harry Wagner) of Hooper; and John, Lillian, Blanche and Elmer, of Swaburg. Surviving him also are two grandsons and four brothers, Daniel of Fremont; Andrew, of Hooper; Harvey, of Swaburg; and Ed. of Chicago; and four sisters, Mrs. W. H. Realph, of Swaburg; Mrs. A. J. W. Koehler, of Uehling; Mrs. Carl Kammerer of North Bend; Mrs. Bert Woodruff, of Julesburg, Colorado. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon with a short service at the late home, followed by the formal service at the Elim Lutheran church, interment being made in the family lot in the church cemetery. The passing of this respected citizen is made double sad, coming at the Christmas season, his death occurring also on the birthday anniversary of the daughter Blanche. With his taking away, the first link in the family chain has been broken, and the entire community is joined in extending sincerest sympathy to the sorrowing ones. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Obituary - Oliver O.

A skillful and progressive farmer of Dodge County, William Realph has had an extended practical experience in everything relating to agriculture, and is considered an authority on the various branches of this highly important industry. He was born October 19, 1870, in Dodge County, Nebraska, the son of John Realph, one of the sturdy pioneers of this section of the country. Born and bred in Ireland, John Realph left the Emerald Isle in early life, making his way to the United States, which was known across the ocean as the land of plenty, and for a time was variously employed, working industriously to support his wife and children. In 1870 he came by train as far west as Omaha, Nebraska, and from there, looking for a tract of good land, he walked into Dodge County, and having homesteaded eighty acres of land installed his family in a dugout and began the improvements of his newly acquired property. The country roundabout was in its primitive condition, and the wily red man was everywhere evident, while wild beasts roamed at will. Although somewhat hampered by the lack of cash, he labored with indomitable perseverance and not only improved a valuable homestead, but contributed his full share in advancing the growth and prosperity of the community in which he lived. His wife Mrs. Bridget Realph, died on the old homestead at the ripe old age of fourscore years. He is still living, making his home with a daughter in Custer County, this state. The fourth child in order of birth in a family of eight children, William Realph was brought up in pioneer days, and well remembers when Indians were numerous, and generally peaceful. Beginning life for himself at the age of twenty years, he selected the occupation with which he was the most familiar as his life work, and has since been actively engaged in general farming and stock raising and feeding, finding both pleasure and profit in his labors. His land, advantageously situated on section 30, Logan Township, is under an excellent state of culture, the buildings are in good repair, the farm well stocked, and everything about the place bespeaks the ability, industry and wise supervision of the owner. He also owns a half section of land in Colorado, near Julesburg. Mr. Realph is a good democrat in politics and religiously is not connected with any church organization. Mr. Realph married in 1895 Christina Larson, and into their pleasant home eight children have made their advent, namely: Mrs. Julia Bullock of Julesburg, Colorado; Harvey, Bryant, Edward, John, Mabel, Floyd and Norman, all of whom are at home with the exception of Mrs. Bullock. Harvey Realph, the eldest son, was drafted during the World war, giong into the Three Hundred and Fifty-Fifth Infantry, Company A, Eighty-Ninth Division, and during the year he spent overseas took part in various battles of note, including the engagements at St. Mihiel, on the Meuse, and in the Argonne Forest. Returning home after the signing of armistice, he was discharged at Camp Funston in 1919. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For The Uehling Centennial Book to be Published in 2006 William & Christina (Larson) Realph William Henry Realph was born in Dodge County, Nebraska on October 19, 1869 to John and Bridget (Rogan) Realph.

REALPH, WILLIAM HENRY - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Obituary - Christina Larson Realph The Hooper Sentinel October 4, 1928 Well Known Swaburg Resident Called by Death The Greatest of human sorrows was visited upon the William H. Realph home in the Swaburg neighborhood on Thursday evening when the angel of Death entered therein and summoned to her final reward the wife and mother, after an illness of but a few moments duration, death resulting from a blood clot on the lung. Mrs. Realph had been always thot of as being in robust health, so the news of her sudden demise came as a sad shock to the entire community. She had mentioned a strange feeling in her side a few days previous but she paid little attention to it. On the day of her death she went about as usual attending to her duties around the home. She was out in the yard, when members of the family heard her coughing, and she was removed to the house, where every effort was made to revive her. A physician was hastily summoned but before his arrival, her spirit had fled. Mrs. Realph was the type of woman whose every consideration was her home and her loved ones. Her sudden taking away leaves an aching void in the home circle, where the loss of her guiding, ministering hand of love is so keenly felt. She was possessed of an unfailingly happy disposition, always friendly, always kindly, and neighbors and friends alike, will miss her sympathetic companionship. Christena Larson was born October 23, 1873, on the homestead of her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Larson near Uehling, and there she spent her girlhood days. On June 25, 1895, she was united in marriage to William H. Realph, and since then the family home has been in the Swaburg community. She passed to the Great Beyond at 9:30 on Thursday evening, September 27, 1928, aged 54 years, 11 months and 4 days. Besides the husband, there are left to mourn the loss of a most devoted mother, eight children, namely, Harvey, of Lyons; Julia ( Mrs. Lyn Bullock) of Denver, Colo.; Bryan of Sacremento, Calif.; and Edward, John, Mabel, Floyd and Norman at home. One daughter, Ada, passed away at the age of ten years in 1915. She is also survived by six grandchildren, and also seven brothers and sisters, who are Daniel Larson, of Fremont; Andrew Larson, of Hooper; Harvey Larson, of Swaburg; Ed. Larson, of Chicago; Mrs. A. J. W. Koehler, of Uehling; Mrs. Carl Kammerer of North Bend, and Mrs. Bert Woodruff of Julesburg, Colo. The late Oliver O. Larson, who passed away from a sudden heart attack last year Christmas, was also a brother. The funeral was solemnized Sunday afternoon with a prayer service at the home, followed by the formal services at the Elim Lutheran church the pastor, the Rev. Arnold Thoren, officiating. Mrs. Thoren and Miss Luella Sampson sang three duet numbers, " Jesus, Lover of My Soul, "Saved by Grace" and "Through the Gates of Gold." There was a large attendance and a beautiful floral tribute to testify to the high regard in which the departed one was held. Interment was made in the family lot in the quiet God's Acre adjoining the church. The bearers were Andrew Bowman of Uehling, Emil Christensen, Charles Lindgren, G. A.

Wagner of Hooper Badly Burned in Blast Explosion Is Cause of Injury to Fire Chief Hooper, Nov. 10 - Harry M. Wagner, chief of the Hooper volunteer fire department, was seriously burned Sunday morning by a mysterious explosion in a burning home. The explosion occurred in the Frank H. Nelson home shortly after 11:30 o'clock Sunday morning, when Wagner and other volunteer firemen were fighting flames that threatened to destroy the residence. The fire chief was standing on the roof of the kitchen which adjoins the main building. A window near him was shattered, and fragments were thrown a distance of 50 feet. The roof of the house was raised a foot in the air, and when it dropped back the whole building appeared to bulge out. Wagner sustained burns on the left side of his body and head, his left eye was closed, and his left hand and arm were painfully scorched. The cause of the explosion is not known. The fire is believed to have started in a small clothes closet. The house was heated by a coal stove, and there was fire in the stove, but there were no indications that this figured in either the origin of the fire or the subsequent explosion. Mrs. Nelson and a daughter were at church at the time. The fire was discovered by Mr. Nelson while he was standing on the street a short distance away talking to a friend. By the time firemen arrived the blaze was gaining great headway. Note - This item was typed from a clipping of the newspaper item and was sent to me by Betty Shaffer McMaster in 1991.

Wedergren Wedergren Death Due to Exposure The death of Ivan J. Wedergren, 54, 234 W. 10th St., whose body was found Friday frozen in his station wagon near Uehling, has been ruled due to exposure. William Gilmore, deputy county attorney, said Saturday that a physician who had been treating Mr. Wedergren, examined the body late Friday and made the determination. Mr. Wedergren was found in the Baptist Cemetery about two miles south of Uehling near Hwy. 77 by relatives concerned about his absence. "There were no signs of violence on the body. He was just sitting behind the wheel." Gilmore said. "The ignition was off". Gilmore believes the man may have been in the cemetery since Monday because the station wagon was seen there Monday and acquaintances had not seen him since Monday. The small cemetery is over a hill in a field and the station wagon could not be seen from the highway, Gilmore stated. Mrs. Bernice M. Wedergren, wife of the deceased man, was buried in the cemetery Jan. 16. She died Jan. 14. Services will be Monday at 10 a.m. at Uehling Congregational church with Rev. Albert Becker officiating.
