William Uffelman was born Oct. 13, 1844, in Prussia, Germany. He secured his education in the counry schools of Germany. He was confirmed at the age of 14 years in the Lutheran church, having good educational advantages. He learned the trade of barber and came to America in 1868, remaining in N.Y. city for one year where he followed his trade. He spent some time in St. Louis and finding his trade was too close and confining, he engaged in farm work in Missouri.
In 1872 he came to Nebraska and made a homestead entry on a farm. In 1877 he was united in marriage to Miss Matilda Schmidt, and to this union were born 16 children, five of them dying in infancy.
In July 1908 his beloved wife passed away. During the four or five years following the death of his wife he made two trips to the old country. In 1913 he moved into the village of Waco. During that year he was married to Mrs. H. Brodfnehoer of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Uffelman passed away in 1919.
Mr. Uffelman passed away at the Lutheran hospital at York on February 23, 1922 after a short illness. There are left to mourn his departure, 11 children, 25 grandchildren and one great grandchild. The children are: Mrs. Clara Tappe, Perry, Okla., Mrs. Lena Schlechte, McCool Junction, Nebr., Fred Uffelman, Monroeville, Ind., Wm. Uffelman, North Judson, Ind., Theodore Uffelman, Melfort, Sask., Canada; August, Carl, Arnold and the Misses Matilda and Louise of Waco.
The children were all here for the funeral. Over six hundred people attended the funeral, which was held in the southeast Lutheran church.
Mr. Uffelman will be missed by his many friends who knew him to be a good neighbor and ever ready to help those in need.
