Obituary - Arthur L. Uehling
The Hooper Sentinel
September 23, 1926
Arthur L. Uehling
Never was the truth of the phrase, "In the midst of life there is
death" brought home more forcibly to the Swaburg community than
when the message of the sudden death of Arthur L. Uehling at Grand
Island was received on Tuesday morning, Sept. 14. Although Mr.
Uehling had been in poor health for some time, it was not thought
that his condition was serious. Two weeks before his death, he,
together with Mrs. Uehling, left on a motor trip to Colorado,
feeling that a change of climate and rest from his farm work would
be of benefit to him. He enjoyed his trip and it was while on their
homeward journey, when they had arrived at Grand Island, that he
was taken suddenly ill, and expired before the arrival of the
physician who was summoned to attend him.
Upon receipt of the tidings of his death, several relatives drove
to Grand Island to assist in bringing the remains home, and Mrs.
Uehling was met at Fremont late Tuesday night by relatives and by
her pastor, the Rev. J. S. Benson. The remains were held at Fremont
until Wednesday morning, when they were brought to the home in the
Bader hearse.
Arthur Lewis Uehling, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Uehling, was born
on the father's farm north of Swaburg on July 3, 1887, and passed
away on September 14, 1926, aged 39 years, 2 months and 11 days.
He attended the rural schools of this community and later the
Hooper high school from which he graduated. He was a World War
veteran, and left Fremont Oct. 2, 1917, with the second contingent
of the selective draft, being stationed for sometime at Camp
Funston, a member of the ammunition train. Due to an attack of
rheumatism he was not sent overseas with his company, but was
transferred to Brooklyn, where he was stationed as a guard at the
New York harbor. He received his honorable discharge on March 12,
1919. Since that time he has been a resident of Swaburg where he
was a prosperous farmer.
Mr. Uehling was united in marriage on March 4, 1919, to Miss Minnie
Mesmer of Brooklyn, N. Y. who together with two little daughters,
Irma an Zola, survive him. He is also survived by his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Uehling, two brothers, Ira and Ernest, and one
sister, Marie (Mrs. Elmer Von Essen) and also an aged grandmother,
Mrs. Theodore Uehling of Uehling.
Mr. Uehling was a member and a past commander of the L. Noble Lund
post of the American Legion at Uehling, and he was one of its most
ardent and faithful workers. He was a friendly, kindly man and
will be greatly missed in the circle of his many acquaintances.
Last year he and his family became members of the Elim Lutheran
church at Swaburg, where he was an esteemed co-worker.
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon from the late home and
the Elim Church, his pastor, Rev. J. Benson, having charge and
assisted by Rev. H. O. Rhode of St. Pauls Lutheran church of west
of Uehling. Music was furnished by the Swaburg male quartet.
American Legion posts of Uehling and Craig and the Woman's
Auxiliary of Uehling attended in a body. The flag sheltered casket
was borne by the comrades Will and Carl Egbers, Edward Daubert,
Walfred Linberg, Olav Pedersen and Ed. Mallette, escorted by the
pastors, the color bearers and the firing squad and Legion posts,
to the family lot in the church cemetery, where the final rites
were performed and taps sounded for the late comrade who now rests
in the quiet of God's Acre. Peace be unto his memory!

Henry Uehling
Henry Uehling. As one of the native-born sons of Dodge County,
Henry Uehling has lived to see many wonderful changes in the
development of his home community, both in numbers and class of
residents and in importance as an agricultural center. He was born
November 12, 1862, in Dodge County and is a son of Theodore
Uehling, a pioneer who drove through to this region with a team of
oxen.
During the period of his boyhood, Henry Uehling was better
acquainted with the Indians than with white people. The redskins
were peaceable and friendly and frequently stopped at the Uehling
home, where hospitality was extended them by Mrs. Uehling, and this
familiarity did not tend to increase the youth's awe of the
original settlers. Every year tribes of Indians would go west and
north in the fall, on hunting expeditions, and in the spring would
return to their camps, so that there was almost a constant
procession of the tribes coming and going. There were very few
settlers, the Uehling home eight miles north of Clark's Creek being
the first house reached from that point. With no fences, when the
early settlers desire to go anywhere they merely took the shortest
route. Omaha was the closest city of any size, and it required
three days to make the journey to that place, but of necessity all
the grain was hauled there, as the nearest mills where at De Soto
and Fort Calhoun. After the railroad was built to Fremont, that
place became the destination and distribution point of the early
farmers.
The education of Mr. Uehling was acquired in the public schools of
Dodge County, and as a youth and young man was associated in
farming with his father. When he reached the age of twenty-five
years he embarked upon operations of his own, first on his father's
eighty-acre farm and later on eighty acres of his own. From this
modest beginning he has extended his activities to cover farming
and stock raising on 600 acres of land, all located in Logan
Township. He is engaged in general farming and devotes a good
portion of his time to raising of thoroughbred live stock,
including Jersey hogs and Percheron horses. His labors have been
attended by satisfactory results and he is regarded as one of the
most substantial and prosperous farmers of his county. While
energetic and progressive, he is nevertheless careful and
systematic in his methods of operation, and his farm is one of he
most productive and profitable in this section. He and Mrs.
Uehling are members of the Lutheran Church, and as fraternalist is
affiliated with the Masons. While he devotes his attention
unreservedly to his farm, he is not indifferent to the duties of
citizenship, and a number of years ago served his township in the
capacity of treasurer.
Mr. Uehling was married in 1886 to Miss Marquerite Snyder, daughter
of John and Barbara (Krueger) Snyder, settlers of 1874 in Burt
County, Nebraska, who are now living in retirement at Scott's
Bluff. There were seven children in the Snyder family; one who died
in infancy, Peter, Adam, Marguerite, Andrew, Conrad and Marie
deceased. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Uehling:
Arthur, who is engaged in farming in Dodge County; and Ira, Marie
and Ernest, at home.
