Ludwig Uehling

Ludwig Uehling. A member of that old and substantial family of
Uehlings, who from pioneer days to the present have been decided
factors in the agriculture, business and civic affairs of Dodge and
Washington counties, Ludwig Uehling has applied his efforts almost
entirely to farming, and in that vocation has achieved most
substantial success, at the same time winning the confidence and
trust of his home community. His farm and home are in section 10 of
Logan Township.

Mr. Uehling was born near Hooper in Washington County November 8,
1865, a son of Theodore Uehling, a prominent pioneer for whom the
town of Uehling was named. A sketch of Theodore Uehling and family
is found on other pages. Ludwig Uehling attended some of the
pioneer schools of eastern Nebraska, but the best lessons were
those he learned by practical contact with the land and with men.
He was strong, self-reliant and ambitious and soon after reaching
manhood had acquired some lands for himself. He married at the age
of thirty, and since then has given a quarter of a century to the
general farming and stockraising. He has always favored good stock,
and his efforts have served to advance the standards of livestock
in his section. His farm contains a herd of ten registered
Holstein cattle. He also keeps a good grade of horses. His farm
represents a growing business and a substantial degree of
prosperity, all of which has been won from a very modest start. In
a public way he has served his township as treasurer two years and
for many years as treasurer of the school board. In politics he is
a republican.

In 1895 Mr. Uehling married a daughter of Henry Von Seggern. To
their marriage have been born five children: Mrs. Alma Osterloh,
Edna, Orville, Windsor and Kenneth.
