The great mons'er called death has again brought sorrow to this community. One more loved one stands waiting on Jordan's shore the arrival of those who today mourn her loss. The gray down of the future has became blackened and the star of hope lost on the sea of uncertainty to those who feel so keenly her departure. Catherine Margaretha Peters was born at Fammback, Germany Oct. 15, 1817. She was married to Mathew Heller Nov. 1, 1841 and with her husband and family emigrated to America in 1858 settling first in Wisconsin. In 1864 removed to Dodge County, Nebraska. Here she made her home until death which occurred Oct. 22, 1896. Such is the simple tale of one life. "We spend our years as a tale that is told." But how much of this life can never be told or written. Until the messenger of death hovered around and within the house-hold, not even the nearest and dearest to the departed one realized the beauty of her life or the grandeur of her character. Coming here in an early day she endured the privations and trials of the early pioneers but lived to see the country of her adoption "blossom as the rose." She leaves an aged husband and seven children, William, August, and Casper Heller, Mrs. Ed Fleishhauer, Mrs. W. C. Hecker, of Hooper, Mrs. Mary Beatow, of Hollowayville, Ill., and Mrs. Margaretha Kusel, of Watertown, Wisconsin, to mourn her departure for that better world. Early in life Mrs. Heller espoused the faith of the German Lutheran church and died a consistent member of that denomination. Rev. L. Grauenhorst officiated at the funeral services which were held last Sunday morning at the Logan German church and the remains interred in the church cemetery. As usual large number of sorrowing friends attesting by their presence at the last sad rites, the very high esteem in which she was held in the community.

HELLER, MATHIAS ****************************************************************** Bios of Casper Heller - son of Ambrose Heller Ambrose Heller is a brother of Mathias Heller) Howard Co, Iowa, 1919 History Author: Leonard Granger Date: 17 Oct 2003 The occupation of farming claimed the efforts and energies of CASPER HELLER, whose home was situated on section 6, Afton township, Howard Co. Iowa, where he engaged in the cultivation of a good tract of land. He was born July 22, 1840, in Germany, a son of AMBROSE HELLER. He spent the first twelve years of his life in the place of his birth and then came to the United States in 1852 with his parents, who after landing on the eastern coast at once made their way across the country to Watertown, Wisconsin. The father there rented a tract of land and remained in that district for several years, devoting his attention to farming there. Eventually, however, he and his wife took up their abode in the city of Watertown, where they continued to reside until called to their final home. CASPER HELLER was reared under the parental roof upon the old homestead near Watertown, Wisconsin, after he had attained his majority he wedded JOHANNA MEYER, of Watertown, who was also of German lineage, her parents having been born in Germany. The young couple began their domestic life upon a farm at Watertown which Mr Heller rented and there they continued to reside for several years. Two children were born to them before they left Wisconsin. In 1870 they severed home ties in that district and came to Iowa, taking up abode upon the farm on which Mrs. Heller yet resides. Mr Heller first purchased 100 acres of land and from time to time as his financial resources increased, he extended the boundaries of his farm until it comprised 370 acres of land, upon which he continuously made his home to the time of his death, which occurred on the 31st of March 1909. To Mr. and Mrs. Heller were born eight children, namely: Mrs. Frances Worple, Mrs. Dorothy Krueger, Mrs Annie Schmidt, Mrs. Lizzie Krueger, Willie, Theodore, Emma, and Casper A. Mr Heller belongs to the Luthern Church of Riceville and his family are also adherents of that faith. He voted with the republican party and was keenly interested in the questions and interests of the day. His was an active, useful and upright life which won for him the respect and confidence of all and by reason of his diligence and industry he was able to leave his famiy in very comfortable financial circumstances.
