| 5513 | _P_CCINFO 2-14330 The Columbus Daily Telegram, November 23, 1923 DIED LUTJELUSCHEN--John Henry Lutjeluschen, 90 years old, who had the distinction of being one of the oldest living pioneers of Platte county, died at his old home farm on Shell creek, 13 miles northeast of Columbus, at 5:30 a.m. today. His death was caused by pneumonia and followed an illness of only two days. Up to the time he was stricken this week he enjoyed exceptionally robust health for one of his extreme age and retained the use of his faculties to a rare degree. Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Hugo Welchert at the Shell Creek Lutheran church at 1:45 p.m. Monday, following brief services at the home at 1 p.m. Burial will be made in the cemetery near the church. Mr. Lutjeluschen was born in Oldenburg, Germany, Oct. 14, 1833, and observed his 90th birthday anniversary just a month ago. In 1869 he brought his wife and family, and his aged parents, to America, coming directly to Columbus. Arriving here on Aug. 2, of that year, he homesteaded in the Shell creek valley and there he made his home throughout the 54 years which have ensued. He is the last of the old settlers of that community, with exception of Gerhold Loseke, who is a younger man, having come here as a boy. Mr. Lutjeluschen's parents, who died here many years ago, were the oldest of the settlers who came from Germany to Platte county, both of them having been born in the 18th century. Laboring steadfastly through the years of hardship and privation incident to pioneer life, Mr. Lutjeluschen not only acquired a competency, but lived to see the barren prairie transformed into the garden spot of the world. Mrs. Lutjeluschen, who, before her marriage was Anna Maria Borchers, of Oldenburg, Germany, passed away June 2, 1900. Two sons, George and Henry, also preceded Mr. Lutjeluschen in death. Surviving members of the immediate family are three sons and three daughters--Fred and Louis Luschen, who reside on the home farm; John R. Luschen, prominent Columbus business man; Mrs. William J. Voss, residing northeast of Columbus; Mrs. Frank Adams, of Yoder, Wyo., and Mrs. Henry Leflers, of Creston, Neb. Mr. and Mrs. Adams arrived this afternoon from Wyoming to attend the funeral.

| 5515 | _P_CCINFO 2-14330 The Kumpf name in Germany may be spelled KAMPF. John Kumpf's parents were probably not married. In a letter from Jurgen Wermich; Berlin, GE, March 24, 1996 he relates that he found a document with a note regarding hearings at the guardianship court from December 20, 1833 to May, 9, 1834 and a judgement from September 2, 1834 that Johann Wilhelm should get "all the rights of legitimate children." This may concern the right to become an heir to his father. John Kumpf came to the US in about 1855 or 1856, settling for a short time in Ohio before coming to Platte County, Territory of Nebraska in 1857. He settled in the Shell Creek Township. In March 1869, the Nebraska Legislature divided the huge County of Platte and formed a new county to the east, naming it Colfax and Shell Creek became one of its townships. John Kumpf died in November or December of 1863 during a winter storm which had been swirling in the region for days. As reviewed in "The History of Platte County, Nebraska" by Margaret Curry, published in 1950, page 44: On Shell Creek northeast of Columbus, John Kumpf set out with John Marohn to go to the county seat for supplies. The storm, which had been swirling about the region for days, grew worse and Kumpf, who had delayed longer in Columbus to wait for the mail, was lost on the return trip. He was found the next day frozen in the snow, clutching a crucifix as he knelt in a final desperate prayer. Facts about this person: Baptism September 25, 1837 Jeruselem Lutheran Church, Berlin, GE.

JOURNAL, February 14, 1906- An excerpt from the memoirs of CARL (Charles) REINKE, neighbor of John Kumpf- Mr. Reinke tells many interesting stories of pioneer life of the long snow storms lasting several days at a time, when it was dangerous to be out of doors at all. The last week of November, 1856, Mr. Reinke says the snow was four feet on the level; in ravines in many places the snow was twenty feet deep. The storm had continued so long that everybody thought the world was near the end. In these early storms, wild animals such as elk would often break through the snow, sinking to the body and then perish, unable to help themselves. The only person who perished in these dreadful storms in this neighborhood was John Kumpf, father of Mrs. William Bucher, Mrs. Lusche (SIC) and Charles Kumpf. Mr. Kumpf lived near Mr. Reinke. In returning home from Columbus one day he lost his way in the storm and was found first by Mr. Reinke frozen stiff. This was about the 30th of December, 1863.

| 5519 | _P_CCINFO 2-14330 The Sander name was among the early pioneers that came to settle in Platte County in Sherman Township. On July 27, 1881, Henry Sander, on the day of his 17th birthday sailed into New York harbor with his maternal grandfather, Heinrich Hadelar. They came from Hanover which is located in the northern part of Germany. There they were farmers, and in spite of the fact that they worked hard, they were very poor. In hopes of finding a better life they came to the new country to escape the strict military obligations and the undesirable political and economic conditions of their homeland. It was Henry who was sent because the eldest son, Louis, was at that time in the military service. If they waited for him to finish, it would have been time for Henry to start his two years. When Henry and Grandfather arrived, they journeyed to Nebraska to the Herman Bakenhus home. Mrs. Bakenhus was Heinrich Hadelar's sister. Here they sought to establish a place to live so the rest of the family could join them. A couple of years later the grandmother, Christine Hadelar, her daughter Dorothea, and her husband Henry Sander and their nine other children came to this so-called "wild and uncivilized land" to make their home. All ten children spent their entire adult lives in Nebraska. Mrs. Sander died at the young age of 49 years, and Henry lived on to be 92 years old.

He lived there until he quit high school in Audubon and worked for his sister Elna and her husband Bill Joens outside of Manning, Iowa. While there he met and married a country schoolteacher, Laura Viola Sander on December 21, 1926. They moved to Coon Rapids where Ted (as he was known) managed a branch of his fathers John Deere Implement Company. The first four children of Ted and Laura were born in a farmhouse just outside of Coon Rapids, Iowa. Bob was born in 1927, Lila Jean in 1931, LuAnn in 1933 and Bill in 1935. They moved to Audubon, Iowa in 1936 where Ted and his brother, Carl, bought the implement business from Louis. In 1940 Ted became the sole owner of the business and at that time built a new building on the old site using beams from the original building. After their move to Audubon, a son, James was born in 1941 and a daughter, Joan, in 1944. Ted stayed in the John Deere business until his death August 10, 1972. He was a highly respected businessman. Both Ted and Laura were strong community workers and very well liked. Even though Ted was busy with his own business, every year the family had a week long vacation to Lake Okoboji so he could fish and enjoy his family. Ted loved to play cards and golf with his friends. He owned a farm and enjoyed driving through the countryside to view other farms and share his observations with others in the car. He was a calm man who moved deliberately and slowly. He helped others out many times when he saw a need and always enjoyed a good joke. Ted was a good provider and he always hung up his clothes.
