#2 4 Oct., 1894 - The Pilot - Carl Moeller

FUNERAL Of AN AGED GERMAN CITIZEN.

September 27, 1894, gentle hands tenderly placed to rest in Fort Calhoun Cemetery the body of Grandfather Carl Moeller, aged about 76 years.

About 22 years ago to please his daughter Mrs. Hans Schwager he came from Holstein. And well do we remember how pleased the young folks were when father and mother Moeller and four children arrived here in Calhoun. The good old people were so neat, and clean and so quiet with such a pleasant nod and smile for everybody they soon won all our hearts.

The older children were soon all out at work and a shoe shop opened by the old gentleman, where now lives veteran Chase and a few years after they moved to the farm where he died Tuesday, Sept. 25

He was an old veteran of the Schleswig Holstein Denmark war of 1848 to 1851 where he got a bullet in his leg. A good citizen and loyal to his birth place. He was moreover a citizen of this free republic the minute he landed in New York down in the very bottom of his heart and we hope our neighbors may speak as well of us when we are dead.
