| 1663 | _P_CCINFO 2-14330 Gene attended Wilbur Grade School and graduated from Wilbur, WA. High School in 1929. He served in the US Army- Air Force during World War II. He continued the conservation practices of his Father on his farm and also worked other jobs in addition to farming. From THE WILBUR REGISTER; December 12,1963- MILL ACCIDENT TAKES LIFE OF EUGENE BAHR Eugene Bahr, 53, lifelong resident of this vicinity, was killed instantly Tuesday afternoon, in an accident which occurred at the Boise-Cascade mill in Lincoln, where he worked as a maintenance man. He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Bahr and, with his family, lived on a farm north of Wilbur. He is survived by his wife, Lorraine Ehlers Bahr, at the home; three daughters, Judy, a student at Washington State University, Denice, a high school student, and Pamela, a grade school student. There are also one brother and three sisters- Clarence Bahr and Mrs. Enith Gerl, Wilbur; Mrs. Margaret Naff, Davenport; and Mrs. Hulda Tellefson, Spokane. Mr. Bahr was a veteran of World War II and a member of St. Paul Lutheran church. Funeral arrangements will be announced by Robertson Funeral Home. An inquest was held Tuesday evening, attended by the coroner, sheriff, mill officials, and safety officials representing the company and the state. It was determined that Mr. Bahr's deathwas purely accidental and was instantaneous. The accident occurred between shifts when the machines were idle and there were no witnesses. It is presumed that Mr. Bahr was performing routine maintenance chores and was working from acatwalk beneath the carrier where the logs are sawed. Apparently he lost his balance and to prevent a fall he accidently caught hold of a lightning rod connected to the log turner, thus starting the powerful machine. His body was taken up and badly crushed, and then dropped to the conveyor belt and transferred to the furnace where waste materials are burned. Officials are convinced that his death cameinstantly and was not due to being burned. People of the entire community extend heartfelt sympathy to the family at this tragic hour.

WORLD, January 18, 1935- The jury in the civil action in which Mrs. Mary E. Barrett and daughter, as owners of a farm in Colfax County, sought judgment against a group of eight Platte County farmers for $225 for a quantity of corn removed from their farm on February 21, 1933 on behalf of a dispossessed tenant, returned a verdict in district court at 10:45 p.m., yesterday finding in favor of the plaintiffs in the sum of $100 and interest. The verdict ran against all eight of the defendants, John H. Moeller, the dispossessed tenant; Henry E. Moeller, his father; Adolph Henke, his brother-in-law, Otto Wenk, George Michaelson, Henry Deyke, Henry Wurdeman and Fred Schwank. During the course of the hearing only John Moeller and Mr. Henke had admitted that they had actually participated in the removal of the corn from the farm, though the others had admitted being among the 100 or more farmers who gathered about the place at that time. Plaintiff's and defendants' contentions as to how much corn was actually removed differed, the former placing the amount at 1,500 bushels or more, and the later at not to exceed 1,100 bushels. In entering judgment after receiving the jury's verdict, Judge Lightner figures the interest at $11.40. The verdict automatically charges the costs, amounting to approximately $82, to the defendants. The case had been appealed by the plaintiffs to district court from county court where a jury had held in favor of the defendants. ______________________ From THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA, Volume II- George Michaelsen, a progressive and efficient farmer of Sherman township, was born in Shell Creek township, Colfax county, Nebraska, on the 28th of July, 1878. His parents, Ludwig and Catherina (Hollman) Michaelsen, were both natives of Germany. The father was born in Oldenburg in 1851 and many years ago emigrated to America, now living at Odessa Station, Washington. The subject of this review received his education in the district schools and during the period of his boyhood and youth also devoted considerable time to assisting his father with the work of the homestead. He thus gained valuable knowledge which enabled him to succeed when he rented a farm at the age of eighteen years. After cultivating rented land for a few years he purchased one hundred and sixty acres on section 18, Sherman township, Platte county, which he has since cultivated, and he also operates a farm of one hundred and sixty acres belonging to his wife. He uses the most improved machinery to facilitate his work, and the sale of his grain and stock returns to him a good income. Mr. Michaelsen was married on the 19th of February, 1901, to Miss Anna Hembd, and their children are Julius Ludwig, Emma Louisa, Elsa Alvina, Walter George and Melvin Milton. Mr. Michaelsen is a staunch democrat and is now ably serving as township treasurer. He holds membership in St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church, to the support of which he contributes, and his influence is always on the side of right and justice.

| 1687 | _P_CCINFO 2-14330 Gilbert, the third child born to Emil and Rosa, was stricken with sickness shortly before he was confirmed. He spent the rest of his years (until his death at age 47) in a wheel chair or in his bed. Pain was his constant companion. In spite of the pain, he proved to be a sterling example to his family and friends by never complaining and by always wanting to be occupied and helpful. His busy correspondence kept him in touch with many people. He had a healthy interest in his church, community and family. One of his doctors in Omaha said, "Don't think we haven't noticed how he reads his Bible every day." Gilbert would have to go to the hospital at certain times during his illness. He was at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, for seven months. A neighboring Pastor, Rev. Kaiser, said, "When l really have a down day, I like to drive out and visit Gilbert". Emil Grotelueschen's family experienced many wonderful blessings and helpful lessons from watching Gilbert. As he lived with his illness and pain, he always rejoiced and praised God for His goodness, serving Him in whatever way he could. _______________________________ From THE COLUMBUS (NE.)

| 1695 | _P_CCINFO 2-14330 Grandson John Charles Inglis related- Eric Wurdeman was my Grandfather...my Mother's father. He lived in the Leigh/Columbus area all his years. I remember him as stoic, without much to say. Not to say that he was mean or grouchy...just quiet. While a small boy living in Omaha, our family visited " the farm" frequently...it seems to me we went out there every two to four weeks. Grandpa Wurdeman often smoked a pipe. They lived on the "home place" with his bachelor brother, Adolph, living in the small cottage adjacent to the main house, that was originally built for their mother. They had electricity for as long as I can remember but Mom grew up without it. Although an electric water pump was available, I remember it was not turned on, and water was carried into the house in pails for drinking and flushing the toilets. Apparently Adolph controlled the place, because I remember Mom complaining that her Mom and Dad had to carry the water because Adolph was "too cheap" to turn on the pump. My cousin Donnie(Donald Wurdeman) and I would usually spend a week or two at the farm during the summer. I usually got homesick but wouldn't tell anyone. Adolph had two horses in the barn that I can remember- two huge work horses, one black, the other white. One was named Bell, and the other, Star. Grandpa and Grandma were really retired from farming at this point, but kept some chickens and a few hogs. Now that I think about it, Grandpa would have been 74 when I was 10 years old and visiting out there there on the farm, and Grandma would have been 76, since she was two years older.
