TERRITORIAL PIONEER HENRY STOLTENBURG

In 1856 George Rohwer’s father, Hans Rohwer, and Paul Stoltenburg bought the homestead right of Geo. Homan who went to Omaha to start a livery stable and the first omnibus line; and on the Homan farm half a mile north of our present Ft. Calhoun post office, Henry Stoltenburg was born in 1858. When we came here in 1871 the family lived half a mile south of the post office on what is now the Allison farm, later owned by James Riddler, and for years after they moved to Douglas county, Paul used to often visit me and give me lessons in fruit, flowers and potato culture. After his father’s death, Henry went to Florence and sometimes came to visit me here. His brother, Charley, also born on the same farm, tells us his brother, Henry, has been blind for two years, and died in an Omaha hospital October 24, 1922, and was brought up from Omaha October 26 and buried near his parents and other friends. He leaves three brothers, Charles of Ft. Calhoun, Edward of California, and George of Bennington and three sisters, Mrs. W. Kruse of Ft. Calhoun, Mrs. Voss and Mrs. Melotz of Douglas county. He was a very quiet man and was blessed with a host of friends. W. H. Woods
