The Hooper Sentinel June 3, 1909
Herman F. Havekost Dead
The community was greatly shocked to learn of the death of Herman
F. Havekost, one of our most prosperous and prominent young
farmers, at his home east of Hooper Sunday afternoon.
He was fist taken sick last Wednesday evening, he grew much worse
Thursday and after a consultation of doctors a surgeon was summoned
from Omaha and he was operated upon for appendicitis Friday
evening. The case was a very critical one and no hopes were
entertained for his recovery, although everything medical skill
could do was resorted to that his life might be saved.
Mr. Havekost was born, Sept. 25, 1879, and has resided in this
vicinity during his entire life time. He was married to Miss
Eliese Krueger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Krueger, on February
10, 1904, and to them were born three children, two sons and a
daughter, who with the grief stricken wife are left to mourn his
untimely departure. The parents of the deceased are Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Havekost, residing north of this city, and he also leaves
several brothers and sisters.
Until about two years ago Mr. Havekost lived on the home place with
his parents, he than purchased the Siebrasse farm, east of Hooper,
on which he has made extensive improvements and arranged into a
model country home. He was held in the highest esteem by the
entire community and was considered one of the foremost
agricultural men in this section of the country.
Funeral services were held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from the
German Lutheran church, east of Hooper, conducted by Rev. Lang, and
interment was made in the German Lutheran cemetery north of town.
