Mrs. Dora Heller Called by Death
Services will be held this (Thursday) afternoon at 1:30 o'clock
from Zion Lutheran church for Mrs. Casper Heller who passed away at
8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning at a Lincoln hospital after a lengthy
period of failing health. Rev. W. J. Wolff will officiate and
interment will be made in the family lot in Logan cemetery.
A daughter of one of Dodge county's earliest settlers, Mrs. Dora
Heller was the last of the thirteen children of the pioneer Gerhard
Monnich family who came by ox team to take up a homestead claim in
Everett township in the spring of 1857.
It was on this homestead that Mrs. Heller was born November 20,
1865, and at the time of her death on January 9, 1945, she was 79
years, one month and 19 days of age. She was united in marriage to
Casper Heller on February 23, 1884 thereby bringing into closer
relationship two well known pioneer families.
The couple made their home on a farm northeast of Hooper for 25
years until three years after the death of the husband and father
which occurred on October 5, 1909. In 1912 the widow and her
daughters moved to Hooper, leaving the son to operate the home
farm.
It was not until failing health about four years ago prevented Mrs.
Heller from living alone that she left her Hooper home to be with
her daughters in this locality, in Scottsbluff and in Lincoln,
where the death occurred.
Mrs. Heller was member of the Zion Lutheran church and by her
Christian character, her love and her devotion to her family and
her fine qualities as a neighbor and friend, she was ever held in
the highest regard in this community which was home to her
throughout most of her life.
Surviving children are one son, Bernard, of Britton, Okla., and
five daughters, Miss Elsie Heller, Lincoln; Mrs. Julia Reid and
Mrs. Luella Hauser, both of Omaha; Mrs. Clara Eagan, Scottsbluff;
Mrs. Carrie Dau, Hooper; also 19 grandchildren and 18 great-
grandchildren.
Two daughters preceded their mother in death, Lenora on February 5,
1914, and Dora (Mrs. Frank H. Daubert) on December 27, 1943.
