| 1781 | _P_CCINFO 2-14330 In early boyhood, Rudolph came with his parents to Nebraska and the family home was established on the farm four miles south and four miles west of Leigh, NE., which is today occupied by his son, Henry. After Rudolph and Mary were married, they made their home on the farm of his parents until they retired in 1917 and moved to Columbus, NE. When his infant daughter, Alma, died of scarlet fever in 1904, Rudolph was in Germany visiting the birthplace of his parents. The first trans-Atlantic cable ever sent from Leigh was the one which his wife sent him advising of their daughter's death. Within ten hours a return cable was sent, stating that he was taking a fast steamer, the vessel "LEHN" bound for America. Pending his arrival, the remains were held for nine days and he was able to be present for the funeral. Rudolph was a member of the Modern Woodmen, the Odd Fellows, and the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He was also a vice-president of Maple Valley Bank.

Wurdeman is engaged in general farming on section 10, Sherman township, and finds this occupation a profitable one owing to his intelligently directed efforts. A native of Wisconsin, he was born in Mayville, Dodge county, November 26, 1866, and during his early boyhood was brought to Nebraska and pursued his education in school district No. 23, in Sherman township, Platte county. He was reared to the occupation of farming and at the age of twenty-two began farming on his own account on section 10, Sherman township, where he has lived continuously since 1869, or for a period of forty-seven years. He has seen wonderful changes in the county, which at the time of the arrival of the Wurdeman family was largely an undeveloped district. The labors of the family have contributed to the pioneer development and agricultural progress of the county. For a long period Rudolph H. Wurdeman has been numbered among the active and representative farmers of Sherman township, where he owns three hundred and sixty acres Of valuable land in the home place and eighty acres on section 5 of the same township. He has made about one half of the improvements upon his farm in the way of buildings, and at all times he keeps his land under a high state of cultivation, his fields producing excellent crops of corn, wheat and other cereals. Mr. Wurdeman is also engaged extensively in feeding and shipping stock. He keeps a large herd of cattle and specializes in the Aberdeen Angus breed. Into other lines he has extended his business activity and several important concerns have felt the stimulus of his enterprise and co-operation. For a time he was the vice president of the Maple Valley State Bank at Leigh but resigned when it consolidated with another bank. He is still a stockholder in the Farmers Union Elevator Company and in the telephone company at Columbus, which he helped to organize. He is likewise identified with the Farmers Union. On May 31, 1889, Mr. Wurdeman was united in marriage to Miss Mary Hagelman, who was born in Oldenburg, Germany, in 1868, a daughter of Gerhard and Cording Hagelman, who were also natives of the same place. In the year 1878 they arrived in Wisconsin and afterward came to Platte county, Nebraska, where Mr. Hagelman still lives at the age of eighty-four years, but his wife is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Wurdeman have become the parents of eight children: Henry, who is married and has one child and who still lives upon the home farm; Ernst; Reinhold; Elsie; Walter; Olga: Louis; and Ewald. Mr. Wurdeman is well known in fraternal circles, holding membership with the Modern Woodmen camp, the Odd Fellows lodge and the United Workmen lodge, all at Leigh. His religious faith is that of the Lutheran church, to which his wife and family also belong. In his political views he is a republican and for six years filled the office of justice of the peace, discharging his duties with promptness and impartiality. The greater part of his life has been passed in Platte county, and he is one of its worthy and honored pioneer settlers, its history in all of its varying phases being familiar to him, so that his memory forms a connecting link between the primitive past and the progressive present.

| 1787 | _P_CCINFO 2-14330 In the United States, Hinrich was known as HENRY LUESCHEN. _____________________ From THE PAST AND PRESENT OF PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA- VOLUME II- Henry G. Lueschen, who has for many years been identified with agricultural interests in Bismark township, is entitled to honor as a veteran of the Civil war, having proved his loyalty to his adopted land by enlisting for service in the Union army. He was born in Oldenburg, Germany, on the 7th of February, 1855, of the marriage of Henry and Kate Margaret (Kuhlman) Groteluschen, both now deceased. Owing to an error made by the army officials at the time of his enlistment, the name became officially Lueschen and it is by this name he and his brothers are now known. He remained in his native land until he was twenty-five years of age and then, in 1860, emigrated to America, making his way to Mayville, Wisconsin. His sympathies were entirely with the north and accordingly at the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in Company E, Third Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He made an excellent record as a soldier, never faltering in the performance of his duty, and he is justly proud of the fact that he offered his life if need be to preserve the Union. During his military service he had many narrow escapes from death and can relate a great many interesting stories of army life.

[ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW] In the United States, Hinrich was known as HENRY LUESCHEN. _____________________ From THE PAST AND PRESENT OF PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA- VOLUME II- Henry G. Lueschen, who has for many years been identified with agricultural interests in Bismark township, is entitled to honor as a veteran of the Civil war, having proved his loyalty to his adopted land by enlisting for service in the Union army. He was born in Oldenburg, Germany, on the 7th of February, 1855, of the marriage of Henry and Kate Margaret (Kuhlman) Groteluschen, both now deceased. Owing to an error made by the army officials at the time of his enlistment, the name became officially Lueschen and it is by this name he and his brothers are now known. He remained in his native land until he was twenty-five years of age and then, in 1860, emigrated to America, making his way to Mayville, Wisconsin. His sympathies were entirely with the north and accordingly at the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in Company E, Third Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He made an excellent record as a soldier, never faltering in the performance of his duty, and he is justly proud of the fact that he offered his life if need be to preserve the Union. During his military service he had many narrow escapes from death and can relate a great many interesting stories of army life. In 1869 Mr. Lueschen came to Platte county, Nebraska, and homesteaded one hundred and sixty acres of land, which he at once began to improve and cultivate. He has since added eighty acres and his place, which is known as the Oldenburg Valley Stock Farm, is one of the valuable farm properties of Bismark township.

He was one of the thirteen men on May 29, 1856 to found the town of Columbus, NE. He became a forceful personality in Platte County. He sent back positive reports to Germany. He had left his fiance behind in Germany and in 1858, she, along with his sister, Anna, and her husband, John Loseke and family, emigrated. Knowing that the train was approaching Columbus, Henry rode horseback heading east and met the group near Fremont, about forty miles east. When his fiance saw him, she was afraid of the man with the long, black beard who met them. He looked like a wild ugly man. They all went west together and the Loseke family and Henry's fiance all lived in his log house until the Loseke's could create a dugout on the land that John Loseke homesteaded. ______________________________ From THE COLUMBUS (NE.) JOURNAL, February 14, 1906- An excerpt from the obituary of CARL (Charles) REINKE, neighbor of Henry Lusche, Mr. Reinke is a friend of the Indians, and thinks they have been given a worse name than they deserve. The only trouble he ever had with them was in August, 1857. He and Henry Lusche were on top of his house shingling the roof, when some Omaha Indians came along and ordered them to give them food. They gave them what they thought sufficient, but they wanted more and finally Mr. Reinke put them out of the house bodily. This enraged one to shooting with his bow several arrows through the windows, but upon aiming a good gun at him the Indian with his companions left. _______________________________ From ANDREAS HISTORY OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA- Platte County, Published 1892, HENRY LUSCHE, farmer, residence Section 23, Town 18, Range 1, P.
