Obituary - Edward Fleishhauer

The Hooper Sentinel 
September 2, 1915

The tolling of the bell of Zions Lutheran church Tuesday noon sent
out the message to the citizens of Hooper of the death of Edward
Fleishhauer, one of our city's most respected pioneer citizens,
which occurred at 12:10 p. m. that day. Edward Fleishhauer was born
in Germany, February 21, 1835, and died at his home in Hooper, Aug.
31, 1915, at the age of 80 years, 6 months and 10 days, of cancer
of the bowels.  He came to America in 1855, first settling at
Watertown, Wis., where he worked on a farm until 1862.  That year
he came to Nebraska, locating in Dodge county.  Soon after his
arrival in this state he enlisted in the 2nd Nebraska cavalry, Co.
A. and was sent with the company to Fort Randall, Dakota Territory,
to help protect the inhabitants there from a threatened outbreak of
the Indians in that neighborhood, during the absence of the men who
were serving in the War of the Rebellion.  After a short service
there he was mustered out with the rest, and came back to this
country settling on the homestead four miles northeast of Hooper,
and which he still owns.

In 1863 he went back to Wisconsin for the winter and on May 16,
1864, he was married to Miss Susana Heller at Watertown, and
immediately started on the return to his Nebraska homestead, making
the trip by team which consumed five weeks.  Since that time he had
been a continual resident of our vicinity, braving all the trials
and tribulations necessary to the settlement of a new locality in
the early days of this state. He and his wife lived through all of
these with great fortitude and shared his sufferings with the rest,
and lived to see this country grow into the richest and best of the
land.

After several years of residence on the homestead he moved to
Hooper in 1885 to make his home in the brick house in which he
resided until death called him.  Mr. Fleishhauer was a man of
strict probity, upright and honorable and in all the relations of
life maintained an even and consistent Christian course.  He was
held in high esteem by all who knew him and many were his acts of
kindness shown during the pioneer days, of which the benefittors
will never forget.

To the union of Mr. and Mrs. Fleishhauer no children were born, his
wife, with a number of relatives only be left to mourn his death.
He was member of the Zions Lutheran church since its conception and
also a charter member of the Upton Post No 133, G. A. R., members
of which will serve as pall bearers.

The funeral will be held from the house Friday afternoon at two
o'clock and from the church at 2:30. Rev. J. Schrader, the pastor,
having charge.

Condolences are extended to the bereaved wife and relatives.

Biographical Sketches of Pioneer Men Now living in Hooper

Edward Fleishhauer

Edward Fleishhauer was born in Germany, February, 21, 1835, and
came to America in 1855, going first to Watertown, Wis., where he
worked on a farm till 1862.

Mr. Fleishhauer came to Nebraska in 1862 and enlisted that year in
2nd Nebr., Cav., Co. A, and was sent to Fort Randall, Dak., being
stationed there to hold Indians back, who were at that time
threatening to swoop down at any time on the settlers, in the
absence of most of the men during war times.

After being mustered out he came back to Dodge county and entered a
homestead four miles northeast of Hooper.  In 1863 he went back to
Wisconsin where he spent the winter.

Edward Fleishhauer was married to Susanna Heller, May 16, 1864, at
Watertown, Wis., and started immediately for the Nebraska
homestead.

When Mr. and Mrs. Fleishhauer left Wisconsin it was on their
"honeymoon trip," which lasted five weeks without rain to
interfere.  They were accompanied by the following families -
Pannings, Wolfs, Hellers, Uehlings, Luthers and Kellers. There was
quite a bunch of young people in the company and the merriment of
the young people largely overcame the hardships of the older folks.
They drove ox teams and brought along herds of their native cattle.

Usually they had to ford the streams but on coming to a bridge
would go in camp and at night when the cattle was corralled, they
would dance on the bridge by the light of the moon.

Mr. and Mrs. Fleishhauer moved from their farm into Hooper in 1885
since which time they have lived a retired life.

Obituary - Susana Heller Fleishhauer

The Hooper Sentinel 
April 7, 1927

Final Summons Come to Mrs. Edward Fleishhauer

For the second time within a week, Hooper and its vicinity has been
called upon to mourn the passing of one of its esteemed and beloved
pioneer women.  The first was the death on Saturday of Mrs. Theo.
Uehling.  This was followed on Tuesday, April 5, by the passing
away of Mrs. Edward Fleishhauer at about 10 o'clock that morning at
the home of her nephew, W. M. Kusel, of this city.  Her death was
due to a complication of ailments incident to old age, she having
reached the age of 84 years and 12 days.  Her illness dates back to
last November when she was afflicted with a light paralytic stroke
from which she recovered.  However other ailments set in, and with
the exception of about a week, she had been bedfast since then.
Last Friday her condition became very critical, and from then until
Tuesday her sufferings were great, a merciful death at last coming
to relieve her of her sufferings.

Miss Susana Heller was born on February 23, 1843, at Hesse,
Germany, and as a young girl came to the states the first home
being near Richmond, Wisconsin.  On May 16, 1864, she was united in
marriage to Edward Fleishhauer at Watertown, Wisconsin, and
immediately, they with about twelve families started overland with
ox team for the new home in Nebraska, the trip to the west
requiring five weeks of travel.  On arrival here they settled on a
homestead, five miles northeast of the present site of Hooper which
she still owns.  On this place they lived until 1885 when they
retired from active farm life and moved to Hooper, and since then
this place had continued her home.  Mr. Fleishhauer passed away in
1915.

With 63 years of residence in this locality, Mrs. Fleishhauer was
indeed one of the real pioneer residents of this community.  Coming
here as she did in those early days, she suffered along with the
other pioneers the trials and tribulations of those days, but with
a perseverance characteristic of the first settlers she went thru
it all with much fortitude, and finally was rewarded with seeing
this section of the country turn out to be the prosperous one it is
today.

As a long time resident here, Mrs. Fleishhauer became widely known
among our people, and by her friendly and helpful nature to friends
and neighbors became much beloved by all friends, and her passing
is grieved by such.

Her close surviving relatives are two brothers, August J. and
William Heller of Hooper, and one sister, Mrs. August Kusel of
Watertown, Wisconsin.

The funeral of this highly estimable woman will be held this
Thursday afternoon with short services at 1:30 at the W. M. Kusel
home and at two o'clock from the Zions Lutheran church of which she
was a member, Rev. Duhrkop conducting them. Interment well be made
in the Hooper Cemetery.
