Gerhard G. Lueschen, who is successfully carrying on farming on section 17, Sherman township, was born November 24, 1840, in Oldenburg, Germany, a son of Henry Groteluschen and Kate Margaret (Kuhlmann) Lueschen, both now deceased. In 1859, when about nineteen years of age, he emigrated to America and, making his way to the middle west, settled at Mayville, Wisconsin, where he remained for twenty years. At the end of that time he came to Platte county, Nebraska, and bought a quarter section of railway land in Sherman township. He still resides upon that place, which he has farmed since it came into his possession, and in addition to raising the usual crops he devotes considerable attention to stock-raising. He has gained financial independence and owned at one time about seven hundred acres of land but since has disposed of all of his holdings, save his home farm of forty acres.

In November, 1866, Mr. Lueschen married Miss Margaret Kuehlmann, a native of Saxony, Germany, by whom he has five children: Edward, a farmer of Sherman township; William; Dr. A. G., of Columbus; Adolph, at home; and Annie, who died at the age of three years.

Mr. Lueschen votes the republican ticket and in religious faith is a German Lutheran. He is well known and highly esteemed in Platte county and throughout life has adhered to high standards of conduct.

Mrs. Margaretha Lueschen, 83, pioneer Platte county woman, widow of the late G.G. Lueschen, passed away at 6 a.m. today at the home of her son, Adolph Lueschen, two and a half miles south of Creston.
Her death was due to an intestinal tumor and complications incident to her advanced age. Her health, which had not been of the best since she experienced a slight stroke of apoplexy about 15 years ago, had been failing steadily the last two years, but she was bedfast only the last two weeks.

As Margaretha Kuhlmann, she was born in Saxony, Germany, Mar. 20, 1848. When she was three years old she came to America with her parents, the family locating in Iron Ridge, Wis. Her marriage to Mr. Lueschen was solemnized in Mayville, Wis., in 1866. They resided there until 1878 when they came to Nebraska, Mr. Lueschen buying railroad land in Sherman township.

With the thrift and energy characteristic of the sturdy pioneers, they achieved well merited success in their farming operations and in the course of the years that ensued they acquired extensive land interests in Sherman, Grand Prairie and Creston townships.

About 10 years ago they retired from active farming and moved from the old home place to live with their son, Adolph, in Creston township. Three sons and two daughters were born to them of whom one daughter died at the age of 3 years, and one son, William, died last October. Mr. Lueschen passed away in March, 1929.

Mrs. Lueschen is survived by three sons, Ed Lueschen, former county supervisor, who farms the old home place in Sherman township; Dr. A.G. Lueschen, of Los Angeles, Calif., and Adolph, of Creston township; 12 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

Throughout the years Mrs. Lueschen was a devout member of St. John's Lutheran church in Grand Prairie township and the funeral services will be held at that church at 2 p.m. Thursday, following a prayer service at the Adolph Lueschen home at 1 p.m. Rev. Holm, pastor of the church, will officiate and burial will be made in the cemetery there. Word was received from Dr. Lueschen in Los Angeles this afternoon that he would be unable to come to attend the funeral. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
