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.

Mrs. Dora Heller Called by Death
Services will be held this (Thursday) afternoon at 1:30 o'clock
from Zion Lutheran church for Mrs. Casper Heller who passed away at
8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning at a Lincoln hospital after a lengthy
period of failing health. 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.
It was on this homestead that Mrs. Heller was born November 20,
1865, and at the time of her death on January 9, 1945, she was 79
years, one month and 19 days of age. 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. Two daughters preceded their mother in death, Lenora
on February 5, 1914, and Dora (Mrs. Frank H. Daubert) on December
27, 1943.

Obituary

February 19, 1914
Miss Lenora Anna Susan Heller died Sunday morning at her home in
this city on her twenty-seventh birthday
Deceased is the second daughter of Mrs. Caspar Heller. 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.
Funeral services were held from the Lutheran church in our city at
1:00 p. m., Wednesday. Rev. J. A. Matthiesen officiating. Interment
in Logan cemetery beside her father.
The bearers were: Messrs W. M. Kusel, W. A. Hecker, Ed and Maurice
Monnich, Julius and Will Heller, all cousins of the deceased.
She leaves her mother, six sisters, and one brother besides other
relatives and many friends to mourn her untimely death.
