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.

A member of that old and substantial family of Uehlings, who from pioneer days to the present have been decided factors in the agriculture, business and civic affairs of Dodge and Washington counties, Ludwig Uehling has applied his efforts almost entirely to farming, and in that vocation has achieved most substantial success, at the same time winning the confidence and trust of his home community. His farm and home are in section 10 of Logan Township. Mr. Uehling was born near Hooper in Washington County November 8, 1865, a son of Theodore Uehling, a prominent pioneer for whom the town of Uehling was named. A sketch of Theodore Uehling and family is found on other pages. Ludwig Uehling attended some of the pioneer schools of eastern Nebraska, but the best lessons were those he learned by practical contact with the land and with men. He was strong, self-reliant and ambitious and soon after reaching manhood had acquired some lands for himself. He married at the age of thirty, and since then has given a quarter of a century to the general farming and stockraising. He has always favored good stock, and his efforts have served to advance the standards of livestock in his section. His farm contains a herd of ten registered Holstein cattle. He also keeps a good grade of horses. His farm represents a growing business and a substantial degree of prosperity, all of which has been won from a very modest start. In a public way he has served his township as treasurer two years and for many years as treasurer of the school board. In politics he is a republican. In 1895 Mr. Uehling married a daughter of Henry Von Seggern. To their marriage have been born five children: Mrs. Alma Osterloh, Edna, Orville, Windsor and Kenneth.

Was a Pioneer of the County Tuesday morning February 13th, word came to Hooper that Mr. Theodore Uehling, who has been in poor health several years and was taken seriously ill a week ago last Monday, had passed away at his home in Uehling at 9:37 o'clock. All that loving hands, doctors and trained nurses could do, had been done, but the Divine Father had willed that he should pass on to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returned. His demise was peaceful and quiet and as he called his loved ones to his bedside for a last farewell, it must have been a wonderful consolation to him to know that his children had grown to manhood and womanhood and were all well to do and comfortably located in homes of their own, that his life had been one that they look back upon with pride and that on the accumulation of this world's goods he had been successful to a large degree. Mr. Theodore Uehling was born in Saxe-Meininger, Germany, 1836. In 1847 at the age of eleven years he came to Dodge county, Wisconsin. On January 2nd, 1860, he was united in marriage with Miss Katherine Schwab, who came to America in 1855 with her parents from Germany. It was in May 1860, that he and his young wife left Wisconsin traveling by ox team and arrived in Omaha July 2nd of that year. They settled on Section 18, township 19, range 9, which in those days was a part of Washington county but now belongs to Dodge county. He homesteaded the land when the homestead act was passed and lived on the place sixteen years, where he built a log house and covered it with slough grass, which was used until 1870 when he built frame buildings. He acquired by purchase the old home place that joins Uehling on the east, where the family resided until he built their modern home in the village of Uehling where they have since resided. In earlier days, Mr. Uehling was identified with the banking interests of Hooper, was a member of Hooper Lodge No. 72, A. F. & A. M., but after the town of Uehling was laid out on his farm land, he moved to that place and has been actively identified with many of the larger interests of that town. At the time of his death he was president of the Uehling Townsite Co., vice-president of the Uehling Hardware Co., and in earlier days has held positions of trust with the gift of the people in the community in which he resided. He built the elevator at Uehling now owned by the Farmers Elevator Co., and the brick block occupied by the State Bank and the Uehling Hardware Co. He had the honor of being a charter member of Oakland Lodge No. 91, A. F. & A. M. and it will be under the auspices of that organization that the funeral services will be held at the home Friday at one o'clock. Besides his aged wife deceased leaves seven sons, two daughters and a large number of other relatives and friends. The children are: Otto, living 6 miles northwest of Uehling, Henry, 2 miles east of that town, Ed., connected with the Townsite Co. and cashier of the Uehling State Bank, Ludwig, lives on his farm adjoining the town, M. A., resides north of Hooper; Fred is a member of the Uehling Hardware Co., Frank is on the old home farm; Mrs. Jess Golder, lives one mile east of Uehling and Mrs. Joel Preston, two miles north of Oakland. Theodore was drowned when about seven years of age.hhw - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Theodore Uehling History of the Elkhorn Valley 1892 Page 425 Theodore Uehling, of Section 2, Logan township, came to Dodge County in July, 1860, and located on Section 18, township 19, range 9, where he built a log-house and covered it with slough grass. This with the same kind of shedding for his stock served him until 1870, when he provided better buildings. He remained on that place sixteen years and in 1870 bought eighty acres, on Section 3, the same being Union Pacific Railroad land. He bought and traded land in various shapes, doing the necessary improvement, to make each tract valuable: finally traded his old home farm for a farm of one hundred and sixty acres on Section 3, and kept adding to his landed estate, until he now owns nine hundred and sixty acres of well improved land. When he came to the country he was obliged to go to Omaha for the necessities of life. He used to make the trip with ox teams, leaving his family at the mercy of the semi-savage Indians. Great were the hardships he and his family endured, in order that they might possess the goodly heritage, a portion of the Elkhorn Valley. Our subject was one of the few who remained until the storms of adversity had passed over, and was the gainer thereby. Mr. Uehling was born in Germany, January, 11, 1836, and is the son of Casper and Gotliebetta (Deusing) Uehling. His parents, dying when he was very young, left a family of six children: Frederick, Casper, Otto, Caroline, Louisa, and Theodore. In 1847 our subject, then eleven years of age, came with his brother Frederick and family to Dodge County, Wisconsin, and from there to Nebraska. Frederick died in Wisconsin, September 18, 1892. Theodore was united in marriage January 2, 1860, to Catharine Schwab, the daughter of Henry and Catharine Schwab, natives of Germany, whose four children were: Catharine, Jacob, Adam and Henry. Our subject and his wife are the parents of the following children: Otto, November 1, 1860; Henry, November 12, 1861; Edward, March 13, 1863; Lewis, November 8, 1864; Theodore, January 20, 1867, now deceased; Martin, August 20, 1869; Frederick ,November 4, 1873; Lanore, December 19, 1875; Frank, October 26, 1878; Louisa F., June 6, 1880. Politically, our subject affiliates with the Democratic party, and in his church relations is a Lutheran. He belongs to Oakland, Masonic Lodge No. 72. He has been one of the school board for twenty years, and has held other local offices. He erected his present house in 1882, which is one of the best in all this section. In the reviewing of this man's life we see what can be accomplished by energetic men with willingness to do and do well. Coming to this country as he did an orphan boy at the age of eleven years, battling in life for himself and finally making the success he has, both in a financial and social way, to much credit cannot be placed upon his career. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Hooper Sentinel January 13, 1910 Married Fifty Years Mr. and Mrs. Theodor Uehling of Uehling, Nebraska, Celebrate Their Golden Wedding. (We are indebted to Editor Honney of the Uehling Press for the cuts used in this article.) Editor Sentinel, Mr. and Mrs. Theodor Uehling celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary Saturday evening at their palatial residence on Fifth street. Surrounded by all their children they passed one of the most enjoyable events of their lives. It is an event that comes to but few couples to pass fifty years of wedded life passing thru the many trials and hardships incident to their early life on the Nebraska prairies, and emerge from them in strong healthy state with prospects of enjoying many years more of the comforts of this life, which they so richly deserved. Mr. and Mrs. Theodor Uehling have enjoyed the highest respect and esteem of their host of friends and neighbors. They have raised a large family in this community, all of whom reached maturity, but one Theodor who departed this life in early boyhood, and everyone of them are an honor and a comfort to this worthy couple in their declining years. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Otto Uehling, of Oakland, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Uehling, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Uehling, Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig Uehling, Mr. and Mrs. Martin A. Uehling of Hooper, Fred J. Uehling, Mrs. and Mrs. S. Golder and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Uehling, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Preston of Oakland. The presents were valuable and highly appreciated by the parents. Mr. Theodor Uehling was born in Saxe-Meininger, Germany, 1836. In 1847 at the age of eleven years he came to Dodge county, Wisconsin. On January 2nd, 1860, he was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Schwab, who came to America in 1855, with her parents from Germany. It was in May 1860, that he and his young wife left Wisconsin traveling by ox team and arrived in Omaha July 2nd of that year.

He homesteaded the land when the homestead act was passed and lived on the place sixteen years, where he built a log house and covered it with slough grass, which was used until 1870 when he built frame buildings. He acquired by purchase the old home place that joins Uehling on the east, where the family resided until he built their modern home on Fifth street, and has been highly successful as a farmer and stockman, having acquired several fine farms by hard work and economy. When they arrived in Nebraska, their worldly possessions were two yoke of oxen a wagon and $150 in money. The young couple were of the hardy stock of Germany and were determined to make a home, and few have done better than they, and have much to be thankful for, as both are enjoying very good health. Mr. Uehling has held different positions of trust in this community and now is connected with some of our best institutions, being President of the Uehling Townsite Co., Vice-President of the Farmers State Bank, and President of the Uehling Hardware Co. He has the honor of being a charter member of Oakland Lodge No. 91, A. F. & A. M. At former times he was connected with the banking institutions at Hooper and Oakland. After our little city was built he transferred his interests here, and has put forth every effort to make Uehling what it ought to be, one of the best towns in the country, having built the large brick block, occupied by the Farmers State Bank, the Uehling Hardware Co., on the first floor and one of the finest lodge rooms in the county on the second floor.

Sixty years ago when Dodge County was still part of the original Washington, one of the important accessions to the citizenship of the district was the late Theodore Uehling, who during a long life became prominent as a Nebraska pioneer and a man fitted by character, industry and integrity to adorn the annuals of early settlement. Born in Saxe Meiningen, Germany, January 11, 1836, son of Casper and Gottliebetta (Deusing) Uehling, German farmers who died when Theodore was young, he had a limited attendance at the common schools of his native land until 1847, when at the age of eleven years he came to America with his older brother, Frederick, who located in Wisconsin. Theodore grew to manhood in Wisconsin and achieved American citizenship there. In May, 1860, shortly after his marriage he left Wisconsin with an ox team, and after many days' journey reached Omaha on the second of July. From Omaha they came up into what was then Washington County, and settled in section 18, township 19, range 9. When Dodge County was set off from old Washington County, his location fell in the former division. After the passage of the Homestead Act he homesteaded his property and gave his labors to its development for eighteen years. Though he came to Nebraska with only a wagon, two yoke of oxen and $150 in money, he was able to see his affairs prosper and everything he touched respond to the benefit of himself or his community. He proved a true friend of education, serving as school director for a number of years, and in 1891 was elected supervisor of Logan Township. January 2, 1860, Theodore Uehling married Miss Kathrina Schwab, a native of Germany, who came to the United States in 1855. The children born to their union were Otto, Henry, Edward, Ludwig, Theodore, deceased, Martin A., Frederick J., Leonora L., Frank Theo. and Louise F. Most of the living sons have special sketches in this publication. Theodore Uehling after acquiring American citizenship allied himself with the democratic party and cast his vote true to that allegiance until 1897, after which he was equally stanch in his support of the republican ticket. He was a Mason and a member of the Lutheran Church. When in 1905 the Sioux City and Western Railroad built through his farm he accepted the opportunity and laid out a town, which bears the name of this honored pioneer. He had seen the little community grow to considerable proportions before his death, which occurred February 13, 1912, at the age of seventy-six years, one month, two days.hhw Uehling,Theodore - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name on Tombstone = Katharina Uehling Dates on Tombstone = 2-28-1838 - 4-2-1927 Married Name = Mrs. Theodore Uehling Maiden Name = Katherina Schwab Obituary The Hooper Sentinel April 7, 1927 Pioneer Woman of This Vicinity Dies at Uehling Mrs. Katherine Uehling, 89, one of the few real pioneer women of this vicinity and county, and widow of the man after whom the village of Uehling was named died at her home in Uehling, at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon following a lengthy illness. She had been seriously ill for several days. For several years she had been an invalid and for the past four years was able to get about only in a wheel chair. For the past two weeks she had been confined to her bed in a critical condition. Mrs. Uehling, who before her marriage was Katherine Schwab, was one of the earliest settlers of this locality. She was born at Dellfeld, Rhein Platz, Bavaria, Germany, on Feb. 28, 1839. In 1855 she came to the United States with her parents, the family settling in Dodge County, Wisconsin. On Jan. 2, 1860 she was united in marriage to Theodore Uehling and in the following May they left Wisconsin in an ox team to establish their residence in the new country in Nebraska. After a journey which took a couple of months they arrived in this county, taking a homestead a few miles north of the present site of Hooper. They remained on the homestead until 1876, when they moved to another farm located on what is now the site of the village of Uehling. Mr. Uehling continued farming until 1906 when he retired and they moved to the town bearing their name to make their home. Mr. Uehling died in 1912. After his death Mrs. Uehling continued to make her residence there. In her long residence in this community Mrs. Uehling became very widely known and she and her family were among the pioneers who were instrumental in forwarding the growth of the county and making it the prosperous section it is today. She was a woman beloved by all her many friends and they join with her family in mourning her demise. Surviving are nine sons and daughters, Otto and Mrs. J. F.
