Frank Eich of Halbur Died Friday

 

     Early Friday morning at his home at Halbur, there was called hence another pioneer of that part of the county, Mr. Frank Eich. For some years he had suffered with dropsical and heart troubles, but had until lately seemed better.

 

     Departed was born at Kirchdorf, Geisdingen,  Siegburg, Regb. Koeln Oct. 10, 1836. He was therefore 71 years, 4 months and 26 days old. He attended the common schools and grew to sterling honest manhood in his native land. January 27, 1865, he was united in marriage to Miss Katharina Walterscheid, whom he left a sad bride to follow the call to military duty in the Prussian Austrian war. After his honorable discharge the young people came to America, locating at Troy Grove, Ill. Later they resided at Mendota, and in 1874 came to Carroll County, locating on a farm a little south of the present town of Halbur. There they resided and reared a family of respected sons and daughters, who now mourn the beloved father. About a year ago Mr. and Mrs. Eich removed to their new home in Halbur, a son retaining the homestead.

 

     There survive besides the sorrowing wife the following children: Gertrude, Sister M. Lucia, Alton, Iowa; Jos. F. Eich, druggist, Panama, Iowa; Catherine, Mrs. John Eltgroth. Carroll, Iowa; Lizzie, housekeeper for Rev. Father Baumler, Halbur; Chas. Eich, Halbur, and Frank Eich, Butte, Neb. One son, Henry, died in 1896, at the age of 12 years. There survives one Sister in Germany.

 

     All the children were present at the funeral except Sister Lucia, who was too ill to come. The funeral was held from Holy Angels' church, Roselle, Monday, and interment took place in the family burial lot there. Charles Walterscheid of Wichita, Kans., brother to Mrs. Eich, was one of those from a distance who attended the funeral.

 

     Mr. Eich was a good citizen, a kind obliging neighbor, a loving husband and father. He was industrious and saving and leaves his family well provided for. He was generous to those in need and gave freely to all worthy causes, charitable and otherwise. The writer has known Mr. Eich for 27 years. We can sincerely attest that he was the soul of honor, a model clean, Christian gentleman. His conduct was at all times that of a man who thinks of another life to come and prepares for it by a moral irreproachable life. May he be fitly rewarded in the Better Life, is a wish we can heartily voice.

Pioneer Woman Is Called To Reward

 

Mrs. Joseph Friedman, Aged Carroll County Resident, Claimed By Death

 

Resided here 50 Years

 

Came to Iowa in 1865 and to Halbur in 1872 - Survived by Husband and Nine Children.

 

       Mrs. Joseph Friedman died suddenly Friday, April 7. She had been enjoying good health until about 10 days prior to her death when she had an attack of heart lesion, but Friday evening about 9 o'clock she was suddenly seized with another attack. Medical aid was immediately summoned but her condition grew rapidly worse and she succumbed within an hour.

 

      Mrs. Friedman's maiden name was Marie Goezinger. She was born at Luxemburg, Germany, November 1, 1848. She came to America in June, 1865, and located in Dubuque county, Ia., where she resided with her mother, sister and four brothers for a period of six years. June 27, 1871, she was married to Joseph Friedman. In March, 1872, they came to Carroll county and settled on a farm one-half mile southwest of Halbur where they lived until March, 1912, when they moved to Halbur.

         

Nine Children Survive

 

      She is survived by her husband and nine children. They are: Mrs. F. J. Halbur, of Iona, Minn.; Mathew Friedman, of Halbur; Catherine, of Larchwood, Ia.; John, of Ogalalla, Nebr.; Magdalena, Peter and Joseph, of Halbur; Mrs. H. J. Eischeid, of Elgin, Neb ., and William, of St. Joseph, Mo. A son, Anton, and a daughter, Elizabeth, former wife of Henry Haverman, of Roselle, preceded her in death.

  

     Mrs. Friedman's life was a beautiful and useful one. She played her part in the development of the middle west. This section of the country was but an expense of prairie when she and her husband settled here. She braved the hardships and dangers of the early pioneer days.

         

"She Lived for Others"

 

     She was a devout Catholic; a person noted for her gentleness and her self-sacrificing efforts to help others, always counting the greatest services as small. She was a faithful wife, a kind and loving mother, always setting a splendid example, a great influence for good.

 

     Interment took place Tuesday morning, April 11, in the Catholic cemetery at Halbur, and was attended by those of her family who survive her and a large number of relatives and friends.

19.  Genevieve (Reinart) Gehling  (1920-2005)

(The Colorado Springs Gazette, 18 Feb 2005)                                                                                  

 

     Genevieve Mary Reinart Gehling, 85, a resident of Colorado since 1982, passed away on Wednesday, February 16, 2005, at Cedarwood Health Care Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

 

     Genevieve was born February 19, 1920 to Peter and Mary Reinart on their farm four and a half miles southwest of Halbur, Iowa. She attended St. Augustine's Catholic School in Halbur. On October 28, 1937, she was married to Lawrence Gehling from the nearby town of Carroll, Iowa. For the first ten years of their married life the newlyweds rented a series of farms in Carroll, Humboldt, and Pocahontas counties. Along the way, Genevieve gave birth to four sons and three daughters.

 

     In 1946, Genevieve and her husband quit farming and moved their family to town. They spent most of their remaining years together in Gilmore City, Iowa where Genevieve worked first as a caregiver for several local families and then as an aide in a nearby retirement center. During the late 1970's Genevieve also found time to pursue her interest in family genealogy. She not only wrote down her own personal memoirs, but also researched the many branches of the Herman Gehling line of descendants.

 

     After the death of her husband in 1982, Genevieve moved to Colorado Springs to be nearer to the families of her children. She soon busied herself in organizing family outings, learning china and landscape painting, piecing together quilts, and embroidering pillowcases. Genevieve spent the last four years of her life at the Cedarwood Health Care Center in Colorado Springs where she continued to work on her pillowcases and greeting cards until the very end. Everyone who knew her will always remember her shy, but warm, smile and the unfailing positive attitude that was her trademark. She leaves behind the enduring image of a gentle, loving woman who enjoyed nothing so much as the company of her family and friends.

 

     Genevieve was preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence Gehling; daughter, Lois Mulroney; and her two sons: Donald Gehling and Thomas Gehling. She is survived by two sisters: Mary Buccholz of Jasper, Indiana, and Bertille Thielen of Manning, Iowa; by two daughters: Connie Bachoroski of Colorado Springs and Bonnie Clark of Rolfe, Iowa; by two sons: Richard Gehling and Charles Gehling, both of Colorado Springs; by 15 grandchildren; 40 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

 

     Memorial services will be 2:00 p.m., Saturday, February 19, 2005 at the Blunt Mortuary Chapel, 2229 W. Colorado Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80904 with Pastor Donald Leigh officiating.
