Henry Uehling. As one of the native-born sons of Dodge County,
Henry Uehling has lived to see many wonderful changes in the
development of his home community, both in numbers and class of
residents and in importance as an agricultural center. He was born
November 12, 1862, in Dodge County and is a son of Theodore
Uehling, a pioneer who drove through to this region with a team of
oxen.
During the period of his boyhood, Henry Uehling was better
acquainted with the Indians than with white people. The redskins
were peaceable and friendly and frequently stopped at the Uehling
home, where hospitality was extended them by Mrs. Uehling, and this
familiarity did not tend to increase the youth's awe of the
original settlers. Every year tribes of Indians would go west and
north in the fall, on hunting expeditions, and in the spring would
return to their camps, so that there was almost a constant
procession of the tribes coming and going. There were very few
settlers, the Uehling home eight miles north of Clark's Creek being
the first house reached from that point. With no fences, when the
early settlers desire to go anywhere they merely took the shortest
route. Omaha was the closest city of any size, and it required
three days to make the journey to that place, but of necessity all
the grain was hauled there, as the nearest mills where at De Soto
and Fort Calhoun. After the railroad was built to Fremont, that
place became the destination and distribution point of the early
farmers.
The education of Mr. Uehling was acquired in the public schools of
Dodge County, and as a youth and young man was associated in
farming with his father. When he reached the age of twenty-five
years he embarked upon operations of his own, first on his father's
eighty-acre farm and later on eighty acres of his own. From this
modest beginning he has extended his activities to cover farming
and stock raising on 600 acres of land, all located in Logan
Township. He is engaged in general farming and devotes a good
portion of his time to raising of thoroughbred live stock,
including Jersey hogs and Percheron horses. His labors have been
attended by satisfactory results and he is regarded as one of the
most substantial and prosperous farmers of his county. While
energetic and progressive, he is nevertheless careful and
systematic in his methods of operation, and his farm is one of he
most productive and profitable in this section. He and Mrs.
Uehling are members of the Lutheran Church, and as fraternalist is
affiliated with the Masons. While he devotes his attention
unreservedly to his farm, he is not indifferent to the duties of
citizenship, and a number of years ago served his township in the
capacity of treasurer.
Mr. Uehling was married in 1886 to Miss Marquerite Snyder, daughter
of John and Barbara (Krueger) Snyder, settlers of 1874 in Burt
County, Nebraska, who are now living in retirement at Scott's
Bluff. There were seven children in the Snyder family; one who died
in infancy, Peter, Adam, Marguerite, Andrew, Conrad and Marie
deceased. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Uehling:
Arthur, who is engaged in farming in Dodge County; and Ira, Marie
and Ernest, at home.
