From THE GRAND ISLAND (NE.) INDEPENDENT, February 18, 1999-

When Grand Island resident Maxine Williams learned that her mother needed to have a leg amputated last fall, she wasn't sure if her mother would make it through the surgery.

Afterwards, when she found her mother sitting up in the hospital bed and smiling, Williams knew she would have to celebrate her mother's next birthday in a grand way.

After all, she was 99 years old.

Alma Kamper, a resident at Lakeview Rehab/Nursing Center in Grand Island, will celebrate her 100th birthday today. Her family hosted an open house Sunday -- complete with 100 cakes -- in her honor.

"I told her, 'You're just plain tough,'" Williams said after her mother's surgery. It was then that Williams thought of baking 100 cakes in honor of her mother's achievement.

"She just smiled," Williams said.

In addition to the 100 cakes, some of which Williams decided would be cupcakes, the celebration included singing from family members and a five-generation picture.

Kamper was born on Feb. 18, 1899, north of Columbus in Platte County to John William and Johanna Amanda (Lueschen) Hake. She was one of 11 children and is one of only two still surviving. A younger sister, 90-year-old Hulda, lives in Chicago.

Williams said Kamper's parents were farmers during the "homestead years" and moved to Archer, northwest of Central City, when she was a teen-ager. She was raised in the Lutheran church and graduated from the eighth grade in 1913.

Her daughter, Grace Schutte, said Kamper oftentimes had to do field work on the farm and was very loyal to her parents.

"She stayed with her parents until she was 25," she said.

On June 3, 1924, she married neighborhood sweetheart George Kamper at her parents' home in Archer.

In those days, Williams said, entertainment included neighborhood parties, where families got together to play cards or dance. She said her mother never learned how to dance, though.

"She felt awkward," Williams said. "She was always shy."

In 1928, the couple moved into Palmer, and her husband bought a truck, which he used for hauling grain, livestock or whatever people needed. They later moved to Grand Island, and both Kamper and her husband worked at the Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant producing warheads for World War II. After the plant closed, the couple went to work at the Grand Island Air Force Base.

Williams, who was the oldest of Kamper's seven children, took care of her siblings at home while her parents worked.

"She was always a good example for the girls to follow," Williams said of her mother, "morally, spiritually and how to live in general."

"Mom was always a very loyal person," Schutte said. "We've always been a close family."

During their retirement years, the couple began traveling. They eventually settled in North Platte, where her husband worked part time and did odd jobs. The couple was honored on May 31, 1964, at a 40th wedding anniversary celebration.

Her husband died on July 9, 1968, and she continued to live in North Platte until 1982. Williams said Kamper spent much of her time baking and baby-sitting grandchildren, including Williams' 11 children.

"She loved children. She would just gaze at that child," Williams said.

For a time, she lived with Schutte and later with Williams before moving into the Grand Island Veterans Home in September 1989. In February 1998, she moved into the Lakeview Rehab/Nursing Center, where a daughter with multiple sclerosis is a resident.

Today, the quiet and soft-spoken centenarian suffers from arthritis in her back and has lost hearing in her left ear. She also has congestive heart failure.

Even so, Kamper has outlived three of her seven children. She has 36 grandchildren, 74 great-grandchildren and 16 great-great-grandchildren.

Kamper is a past member of the Ruth Society and received the Gold Star Mother status for raising her youngest brother-in-law, who was killed during World War II. She is the oldest living Gold Star Mother in Nebraska.

Williams said her mother credits her longevity to the Fourth Commandment, which promises a long life to those who honor their father and mother. She also thought a healthy lifestyle without smoking or drinking might have helped.

Schutte added that her mother has always enjoyed being outdoors and also had an older sister who lived to be a centenarian.

"The Lord has just given her a long life," she said.

"The Valley of Shell Creek has wonderfully improved in the last year. From J. P. Becker's mill, two miles west, in the last year, the following persons have built fine brick residences: J. Held, Carl Reinke and H. Lusche, and E. Ahrens, Michael Erb and W. Weather have completed residences of wood, which look tasty and neat. J. P.

William Richard, five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Dasenbrock, of Richmond, California, met death in an automobile near Wasatch, Wyoming, August 8, 1947. Announcement of the little boy’s death, which occurred about 3:30, conveyed in a telephone message from Mr. Dasenbrock to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dasenbrock of Leigh, the same evening.

Accompanying the Dasenbrocks were their small daughter, Patricia Marie, and Mrs. Dasenbrock’s mother and sister, Mrs. Harry Geiger and Jackie of Odgen, Utah. They were enroute home after a week’s visit at Leigh with relatives, the Dasenbrock families and Mrs. Geiger’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gerd Asche.

The accident occurred when a rear tire on the Dasenbrock car blew out. Eye witnesses said the car turned over twice into a ditch. Examination after the accident revealed a front tire also had blown out. The little boy, sitting on the front seat with his parents, was next to a window which was open, crushed beneath the car when it overturned. He lived only a few minutes after being taken from the wreckage. The occupants escaped with minor bruises. The remains were taken to a funeral home in nearby Evanston, Wyoming, and were sent to Columbus. They were brought to the Holmes Funeral home. They were accompanied by the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dasenbrock, and her father, Harry Geiger, of Ogden. Mrs. Geiger and Jackie went on to Ogden, 75 miles distant, following the accident, taking with them the baby daughter of the Dasenbrocks.

"Billy Dick," as he was affectionately known, was born at Leigh, October 10, 1941, and had reached the age of 5 years, 9 months and 28 days. When he was two years old his parents moved to California. Funeral rites were conducted by Rev. Karl Gigstad, from the home of the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dasenbrock, at 1:30 o’clock. Two hymns, Jesus Loves Me and Safe in the Arms of Jesus were sung by Norma Neuhaus, Jeanette Hobel, and Marlene Held, with accompaniment by Mrs. Theodore Mrstny.

Flower bearers were Linda Ann Luchsinger, Jean Dasenbrock and Mesdames Edw. Ehlers, Marvin Weber. W.C. Deichman and Marjorie Mackenstadt.
