_____________________

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. His work has been well planned and his labors have returned to him a gratifying annual income so that he is now living largely retired.

In 1867 Mr. Lueschen was married to Miss Mary Brandes, who died in 1905 at the age of sixty-eight years. They were the parents of nine children, of whom five survive. Mr. Lueschen is a republican with independent tendencies, voting according to the dictates of his judgment when he believes that the public welfare will be best served by so doing. In times of peace he manifests the same devotion to the general good that in the '60s led to his enlisting in the Union army. He is a man of wide knowledge, as he has always read a great deal, and he also has the power of thinking independently, arriving at his own conclusions rather than blindly accepting the opinions of others. His religious faith is that of the German Lutheran church, and his life has always measured up to high standards of manhood.

Henry G. Lueschen, pioneer of Bismark township and veteran of the Civil war, died yesterday morning at 3:15 o'clock at the old homestead, 9 miles northeast of Columbus. During the past two months he had been suffering from various ailments incident to old age, and he was bedridden for five weeks. The death of Mr. Lueschen removes from Bismark township one of its real pioneers and most successful farmers.

Born in Oldenburg, Germany, on February 7, 1835, he remained in his native land till he was twenty-five years old. In 1860 he came to America and located at Mayville, Wis.

Early in the Civil war he enlisted with the Third Wisconsin regiment of volunteers, and served to its conclusion. Four years after the war he came to Platte county and homesteaded in Bismark township, later acquiring ownership of adjacent property.

In 1867 Mr. Lueschen was married to Miss Mary Brandes, who died twelve years ago. One son, five daughters, twenty-nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren are the surviving members of the household.

The sons and daughters are Henry Lueschen, who resides on the old homestead; Mrs. Henry Cattau, Columbus; Mrs. Otto Loseke and Mrs. William Muth, Creston; Mrs. William Hake, Central City.

Dr. A.G. Lueschen, of Columbus, and Supervisor Ed Lueschen, of the Creston district, are nephews of the deceased.

GROTELUSCHEN-GROTELUESCHEN

There are two variations in spelling. The information from a German source indicates that the spelling in Germany was and still is GROTELUSCHEN with the "u" having an umlaut (") over it. The umlaut is a diacritical mark that is added to a vowel that changes the sound of the German vowels a, i, o, and u. The variation in spelling came from the fact that there is no umlaut in the English language. For a phonetically correct English substitution, an "e" was added. The variations caused some problems. Other German names have the same characteristic. There is no definite answer as to which spelling is correct and neither is more correct than the other.
