Heller Dates on Tombstone = 14 May 1861 - 9 Oct 1909 Obituary The Hooper Sentinel October 7, 1909 Casper Heller Passes Away Died very Suddenly Tuesday at Noon Hour. Funeral to be Held Friday. This community was surprised and shocked Tuesday noon when the word was passed around that Casper Heller, a prominent farmer living five miles north east of Hooper, had passed way very suddenly while at the noon meal. When eating his dinner, he was taken with a fainting spell and a physician was hastily summoned, but the good man had passed to his final reward before medical aid could arrive. His death was due to heart failure. For several years Mr. Heller has not enjoyed good health, but this last year he was more vigorous than for several years and Tuesday forenoon had been out assisting in digging potatoes. He made no complaint of being ill and the blow coming so suddenly, must have been an awful shock to the wife, children, relatives and friends. Mr. Heller was a man 48 years, 4 months and 21 days of age and has been a resident of Dodge county some 45 years, coming here from Wisconsin when about three years of age. He is a man who is honored and respected by all who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance and the influence for good that he has exerted both in the home and the community, will be greatly missed. He leaves a wife and eight children, four sisters and two brothers, besides a large circle of friends to mourn his departure. The children are: Mrs. Frank Daubert, Leona, Bernard, Clara, Carrie, Elsie, Julia and Luella. The sisters are: Mrs. Edward Fleishauer, Mrs. W. C. Hecker, of Hooper; Mrs. Kusel of Watertown, Wis.; and Mrs. Buetow, of Oklahoma. The brothers are: William and August J. Heller, residing on farms near this place. Mr. Heller was a member of the Logan German Lutheran church, of which Rev. E. Osthoff is the Pastor, and the funeral will be held at that church Friday at 2:00 p. m., preceded by a short service at the home.Note: Florence Larsen sent this picture to me on 1-6-2003 HELLER, CASPER ******************************************************************* Name on Tombstone = Dora Monnich Dates on Tombstone = 20 Nov 1865 - 9 Jan 1945 Married Name = Mrs. Casper M.

Rev. W. J. Wolff will officiate and interment will be made in the family lot in Logan cemetery. A daughter of one of Dodge county's earliest settlers, Mrs. Dora Heller was the last of the thirteen children of the pioneer Gerhard Monnich family who came by ox team to take up a homestead claim in Everett township in the spring of 1857.

She was united in marriage to Casper Heller on February 23, 1884 thereby bringing into closer relationship two well known pioneer families. The couple made their home on a farm northeast of Hooper for 25 years until three years after the death of the husband and father which occurred on October 5, 1909. In 1912 the widow and her daughters moved to Hooper, leaving the son to operate the home farm. It was not until failing health about four years ago prevented Mrs. Heller from living alone that she left her Hooper home to be with her daughters in this locality, in Scottsbluff and in Lincoln, where he death occurred. Mrs. Heller was member of the Zion Lutheran church and by her Christian character, her love and her devotion to her family and her fine qualities as a neighbor and friend, she was ever held in the highest regard in this community which was home to her throughout most of her life. Surviving children are one son, Bernard, of Britton, Okla., and five daughters, Miss Elsie Heller, Lincoln; Mrs. Julia Reid and Mrs. Luella Hauser, both of Omaha; Mrs. Clara Eagan, Scottsbluff; Mrs. Carrie Dau, Hooper; also 19 grandchildren and 18 great- grandchildren.

She was born Febr. 15, 1887 on their farm five miles north-east of our city, and moved here with her mother and sisters about two years ago. She had been an invalid for about fifteen years suffering from nervousness and heart trouble. She was a patient sufferer and always hopeful of becoming strong and well again. She had been planning she would go to Omaha for an operation during the coming summer, after which she had no doubt she would be well. But in reality, she was slowly failing in health but seemed as well as usual when she retired Saturday night. It is not known when the end came but it is thought that it was not long after midnight. She no doubt fell asleep and did not awaken again as when a member of the family went to her bedside in the morning it was thought that she had not moved after lying down.
