Obituary
The Hooper Sentinel
Oct. 29, 1896
Gone to Her Reward "So Shall those go"
A sleep -A sleep in death. 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.

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.
