Hilmer, Nebraska pioneer, who died here Thursday morning following a long sickness. He had reached the age of 84. Services were conducted from the Lutheran church with Rev. J. H. Beckmann officiating. Hinrich Christian Hilmer was born May 5, 1853, at Schwei, Grand Duchy, Oldenburg, Germany. He was the son of a peasant and therefore by occupation a laborer. Mr. Hilmer was exempt from the customary military duties because of his stature. In Germany he was united in marriage with Geske Friederika Wilbertz. She preceded him in death having departed this life Dec. 8, 1933. Five years before her death, July 15, 1928, the Hilmer's celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. The Hilmer's came to America in 1885 on free passage provided them by relatives. The ship Oder on which they crossed the Atlantic was lost on her return voyage and was never heard of again. Mr. Hilmer settled in Platte county. Three years after settling there they experienced the great blizzard. Mr. Hilmer was very ill at that time and therefore it became the work of the young wife and son Henry to cut a hole thru the roof of the sod shanty to let in the light and air. The only fuel was corn stalks which were gathered from a knoll not far away. For three weeks the family was buried in snow 18 feet deep and lived on beans cooked in snow water with a side dish of parched corn. In 1918 Mr. Hilmer moved to Albion where he purchased the Mundschenk farm two miles south of town. Mrs. and Mrs. Hilmer were blessed with a family of 11 children. Three sons and two daughters preceded him in death. Six children are living: Rev. Henry Hilmer of St. Louis; Frank of Columbus, Carl and Jacob of Albion; Mrs. G. Siebler of Albion and Mrs. H. Laudenklos of Boone. His death is mourned also by 28 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Mr. Hilmer was a life-long member of the Lutheran church. His was a quiet, reticent nature. He worked long and hard and like many others lived to see his life's savings vanish during the depression. He was ill the last year of his life and suffered much during the final few days. Yet he did not complain but waited patiently for the end. Mr. Hilmer was 84 years and 29 days old. Those attending the funeral from a distance were Rev. C. H.

Although he had suffered a great deal, and his friends could not but see that his strength was fast failing, the close of life came to him as quietly and peacefully as though he was going to sleep, and among his last thoughts communicated to those near him, were of his friends of the Maennerchor, and of meeting with them. He had been their music director ever since their organization, more than a score of years ago--faithful to the last, even in thought. He was born in Silesia, Germany, March 24, 1843; was educated in the public schools of that country and in the teachers' college. He served seven years in the Prussion army and took part in the war between Prussia and Austria. He came to the United States in 1867, worked two years on a farm, and clerked four years in a store in Wisconsin. He was married to Anna Hoppe, at Charlestown, Wisconsin, August 27, 187 In 1873, he came to Nebraska, engaged seven years in the agricultural implement business, three years in hardware, twelve years in groceries on Eleventh street, this city; two years, 1896 and '97, as county clerk, since which time he has been engaged in the insurance business. Mr. Pohl leaves to mourn their irreparable loss, his widow and children: Otto of Fremont, and Arthur, Meta, Emil, jr., and Elsie, who have the heartfelt sympathy of all their acquaintance in their affliction. Funeral services will be held this (Wednesday) afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the opera house, under the direction of the Maennerchor, Revs. Neumarker and Weed preaching. Our friends disappear from view and their mortal remains are consigned to rest in the earth, whence they came, but not so the spirit, which once animated them and lent them their activity, their charm, that abides always. Let us believe that, even now, in the realms where there is no discordant note, where even life, in all its functions, is a continued Song of Triumph, the soul of our friend is with kindred spirits who have passed into the Summer Land. _______________________________ From THE COLUMBUS (NE.)

Rev. R. Neumarker of the German Evangelical Protestant church, and Rev.

Mrs. Bade died at their home nineteen and a half miles northeast of Columbus, Wednesday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock, after a seven weeks' struggle against the dread typhus. Scarcely had relatives and friends met the shock of her passing, when the sad message came that her 11-year-old son, Willie, died in the hospital at Leigh yesterday morning. Mr. Bade's death occurred December 14; a daughter, Miss Dora, passed away December 17, and a son, Oscar, died December 19.

Miss Bertha, however, has been in critical condition again this week, though a slight improvement was noted yesterday morning. That they contracted the typhoid from drinking water drawn from a well on the farm has practically been established, according to Supervisor Ed Lueschen, relative of the stricken family. Mr. Lueschen says that a sample of the water has been sent to the state bacteriologist at Lincoln; that he has found it to be infested with typhus bacilli and has pronounced it unfit for drinking purposes. The old well is a shallow one, located close to a creek. Arrangements have been made for a double funeral service to be held at the German Lutheran church in Sherman township at noon Saturday, and the bodies of Mrs. Bade and her son Willie will be laid to rest in the cemetery near the church, where already three fresh mounds of earth bear mute evidence of the grief that has come to this Platte county family. Mrs. Bade was a daughter of one of the county's sterling pioneers, the venerable Herman Lueschen.
