DIED
LUSCHE--On last Wednesday evening, shortly after dark, between eight and nine o'clock, Henry Lusche and family, who had been in attendance at a wedding, started for home. They were traveling slowly in a three-seated, light wagon, and were congratulating themselves upon their good fortune in escaping accident, when suddenly the wagon was tipped to one side, throwing them all out,--the wagon, however, not going over. They were all more or less hurt, but all slightly, except Otto, a son of Henry and Katrine Luesche, aged 6 years and 1 month, who was instantly killed. His skull was struck in two places,--above the eye and in the temple, and his death was instantaneous. The horses were traveling slowly and stopped when the seats tipped out, and the sad death of the bright little lad was caused by the seat striking him in the temple. the spot where the accident occurred is a half-mile north of Edwin Ahrens's dwelling and on the side of a hill; the embankment where the accident occurred was only a foot down, and, had the seats been solid in their places, it is thought that none of them would have been hurt. Little Otto was sitting in the front seat between an older brother and his father. His remains were buried on Friday last, and the parents have the deepest sympathy of their friends and acquaintances in their time of sorest affliction. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]

JENNY--The following from the Leigh World tells of the tragic death of Rudolph Jenny, a prominent farmer of Sherman township, Platte county:

Rudolph Jenny was the victim of a terrible accident which occurred about three o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, at the Carl Barjenbruch corner one mile south of the Leigh cemetery. In company with his nephew, Bennie, eleven-year-old son of Mell Jenny, he was bringing to town a large Holstein bull, weighing 2,280 pounds, which was to be shipped to Omaha that evening. Mr. Jenny was leading the animal and the boy was following, driving it. At the Barjenbruch corner the animal became weary and uneasy from the long walk and made several attempts to get away from it's keepers. Mr. Jenny headed the animal off each time but finally it became so infuriated that it attacked the old gentleman, knocking him to the ground and crushing his chest by falling upon Mr. Jenny with it's knees.

At this juncture Bennie showed great presence of mind and courage by seizing the rope which was tied to the ring in the animal's nose and jerking the animal off his uncle's body. The beast then turned upon the boy who dodged behind a telephone pole and finally succeeded in wrapping the rope about the pole, thus binding the mad animal fast.

Carl Barjenbruch witnessed the terrible scene but was unable to render assistance owing to the distance between them. A physician was called at once and the injured man was brought to Leigh were he expired two hours later in Dr. Lowrey's office.

Mr. Jenny was conscious almost to the last and peacefully relapsed into the eternal sleep which knows neither pain nor suffering.

Rudolph Jenny was born in Switzerland, January 29, 1852. At the age of twenty years he came to America and after spending a year in Wisconsin together with his twin brother, Mell, located upon the Platte county farm, seven miles south of town, which was his home until his death. He was a member of the firm of Jenny Bros., who are operating one of the largest dairy and cheese farms in Nebraska.

Always industrious and frugal in his habits and showing his regard for his fellow men by his honesty to them and his loyalty to their interests, Mr. Jenny was one of our first citizens, one whose influence will live after him and one who has had much to do with the upbuilding of our nation. There are left to mourn this sudden death, four brothers, Mell and Daniel of Leigh, Caspar, who resides in Oregon and Henry, who has remained in Switzerland and one sister, Mrs. Barbara Legler, who lives in Oregon.

The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at one o'clock from the home. From there the remains were taken to St. Paul's church where Rev. Klotche conducted the last sad rites. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]

RICKERT--Mrs. Henry Rickert, aged sixty-four years, two months and five days, died at her home on East Eleventh street, Monday, death being due to diabetes. Katrina Marie Wilkie was born in Oldenburg, Germany, September 9, 1846. In 1869 she came to America and Colfax county, to the home of her uncle, J.H. Lutjelueschen, thirteen miles northeast of this city. In 1870 she was married to Henry Rickert, and they moved to the old home farm in Bismark township, which they occupied until about three years ago, when they moved to this city. Mrs. Rickert was the mother of eight children, two of whom died in infancy and two sons, Rudolph and Adolph, who died after reaching manhood. Those living are William, who resides on the old homestead, Mrs. Louis Grotelueschen of Columbus, and Ida and Louisa at home. Her husband, Henry Rickert, also survives her. Mrs. Rickert has been sick for some time and of late her ailment had become worse, so that death was not altogether unexpected. Funeral services will be held at the home Thursday at 10:30 a.m., and be conducted by Rev. Mueller of the Shell Creek church, and burial will be in the Shell Creek cemetery.

REED--Monday H.B. Reed received a telegram from Riverside, Cal., telling him of the death of his mother, who passed away suddenly on Sunday, and also stating that the funeral would be held on Tuesday. Mrs. Reed was well known to many Columbus people, having lived in this locality for many years. Mr. Reed did not learn any of the particulars of his mother's death, but will receive them later.
[...and...]
Sunday night, over the wires from Brother Fred at Riverside, Cal., came the sad message--"Mother died suddenly this afternoon." Poor Ma. Dark hour of death. Forbid the thought. But it was a release from life's burden. Mrs. J.H. Reed was well up in the seventies and has been an invalid for a number of years, and about two years ago it was necessary to remove both of her eyes, which left her as helpless as an infant. But she bore her affliction peacefully. In mentioning her death to a friend of the family, they said, "When I saw her a year or so ago in California, she seemed, so quiet, so patient, so sweet. Much comes before us as we write this, of the scenes at the old home on Ashland Hill in Ohio, and Longlook farm in Nebraska. But all we can say at this time, as we remember Ma, she was beautiful, and beautiful were the ministrations of life that were given her to fulfill. Angelic loveliness robed her, and a grace as it if were caught from heaven, breathed in every tone, hallowed every affection shown, and in every action, invested as a halo in her whole existence, and made it a light and a blessing, a charm and vision of gladness to all around her. But she died. Poor Ma. While we feel her death keenly, we are glad to know that she is relieved from the terrible suffering she underwent the last three years. It is sort of a pleasant sadness. We have heard people remark, how sweet a pleasure there is in sadness when we know that our loved ones are over their suffering and safe on the other side of the mystic and peaceful river. It is not despondency, it is not sorrow, it is not bloom, it is one of the moods of joy. At any rate it makes me happy, and yet it is a sober and sad happiness, it is but the shadow of joy upon the soul. May she rest in peace. [Route No. 3

BIRTHS-
AHRENS--Sept. 24th, to Mrs. Edwin Ahrens, a son.
Grandfather Ahrens is doing as well as could be expecte
________________________

From THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA, Volume II-

Edwin Ahrens, directing his attention entirely to farming interests, belongs to that class of representative business men who win success through perseverance, laudable ambition and unfaltering energy. He has been a lifelong resident of Platte county, for he is one of her native sons, his birth having occurred on the old home farm of the family in Bismark township, September 24, 1884, his parents being Edwin and Anna (Loseke) Ahrens. The father was born in Oldenburg, Germany, June 21, 1831, and acquired a fair education in that country. He also worked on a farm there and for about two years served in the German army. Coming to America, he made his way to Nebraska and homesteaded one hundred and sixty acres in Platte county. The entire district was then largely undeveloped and unimproved and on the tract which came into his possession not a furrow had been turned. He met the usual experiences and hardships of pioneer life when one has to break the sod and prepare the fields for cultivation before crops can be planted. He was energetic and resolute, however, and he bravely met the difficulties which confront the settler upon the frontier. In time his labors brought about a marked change in the appearance of his farm, which was converted into productive fields, bringing forth abundant harvests. In April, 1861, he had wedded Miss Anna Loseke, also a native of Oldenburg, Germany, who is now living in Leigh, Nebraska. To them were born the following children: John, who is a resident of Columbus; Minnie, who is the wife of Fritz Loseke, of Bismark township; Margaret, who gave her hand in marriage to Henry Sander; Herman, living in Bismark township; Anna, who is the wife of Louis Groteluschen, of Audubon county, Iowa; Bertha, who is the wife of Erich Wurdeman, living south of Leigh; Edwin, of this review; and Ella, at home with her mother.

The death of Edwin Ahrens, Sr., occurred on the 11th of January, 1892, and was the occasion of deep and widespread regret, for during the years of his residence in Platte county he had won a place among the substantial and highly respected citizens of the district. In politics he was a democrat and for a number of years was treasurer of his township, making an excellent officer, which fact is indicated by his frequent reelections. He belonged to the German Evangelical Lutheran church and guided his life according to its teachings.

Edwin Ahrens, whose name introduces this review, obtained a public-school education while spending his youthful days under the parental roof and through periods of vacation he worked upon the home farm, early becoming familiar through experience with the best methods of tilling the soil and caring for the crops. He has never sought to change his occupation and in fact finds farming a congenial pursuit and one which is bringing to him a substantial and gratifying annual income. He is now the owner of one hundred and sixty acres and the farm is divided into fields of convenient size by well kept fences, while all the farm work is conducted according to modern methods and exemplifies the ideas that science has put forth, while practical experience has proven their value.

On the 28th of October, 1909, Mr. Ahrens was united in marriage to Miss Emma Müller, who was born in Bismark township, this county, June 8, 1885, her parents being Friedrich and Magdalena (Karlin) Müller.. They now have two sons, namely: Paul Frederick, who was born August 23, 1910; and Arlo Edwin, whose natal day was February 2, 1912. Mr. and Mrs. Ahrens are well known in this county, having an extended acquaintance, while many come within the closer circle of friendship. Those who know them speak of them in terms of warm regard and among business acquaintances Mr. Ahrens is mentioned as one who is as reliable as he is enterprising. 		Ahrens, Edward Henry (I105)

HENKE--A Mr. Henke, father of Adolph Henke, who lives near Boheet, says the Leigh World, was hurt in a runaway last Monday which resulted in his death. Monday forenoon the old gentleman went out into the corn field for the purpose of gathering a load of corn when the team became unmanageable and started to run. Mr. Henke was thrown out of the wagon and the wagon box thrown on top of him. Dr. Miessler of Columbus was called and after an examination said that he would be all right in a few days there being only a few bruises apparent. He died Monday evening. It is thought that he must have sustained internal injuries that did not manifest themselves when Dr. Miessler made his examination. Mr. Henke was 70 years of age and an old settler in Platte county. The funeral occurred Wednesday at the Loseke Creek church where interment was made.

ERB--Last Friday night at half-past eight Minnie, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Erb, was taken from our midst to that brighter home beyond. She was taken sick at 9 o'clock in the morning of the same day; was at school the day before, but complained of a headache. Congestion of the brain was the cause of her death. She was unconscious from the first. Minnie was born on Shell Creek, Colfax county, April 28, 1882. She was a bright and intelligent girl beloved by all that knew her. The grief of her mother and brothers and sisters cannot be expressed in words. But a year and a few months since, her father died. She was papa's baby and could not live without him, so she left this world of trouble and has gone to join him in that heavenly home where she will know no sorry [sic], where she will know no care. The funeral took place from her mother's residence, two miles east of Columbus, and from there to the German Reformed church. Services were conducted by Rev. Fleischer and assisted by Rev. Elliott of the Presbyterian church. The funeral was attended by a very large number of friends and schoolmates. Miss Cal. Welch, her teacher, attended with her school in a body and strewed her casket with beautiful flowers; six little boys, her schoolmates, acted as pall bearers, and all that was mortal of our darling little Minnie was laid to rest by the side of her father, in the Columbus Cemetery.

Following a stroke of paralysis, Mrs. Herman Lueschen passed away at her home nine miles southwest of town, early Tuesday morning. Mrs. Lueschen arose as usual, at about five o'clock, but complained of a severe headache. She grew worse and a stroke of paralysis followed, death relieving her of her suffering within an hour.

In 1869 Mr. and Mrs. Lueschen came to Nebraska and settled upon the homestead nine miles south of town, which has been their home. To them were born eight children all of whom, with their father, survive.

Mrs. Lueschen was sixty-two years of age and a woman whose loss will be keenly felt not only by members of her immediate family but by a large circle of friends and acquaintances, over whom her quiet influence for the better and higher things in life was ever prominent. Her love for her family and her home and her devotion to them came before all other duties and the splendid family which she has given to the world is evidence of her real worth.
