    Text Notes for Heinrich Loseke,Sr.:
    From THE COLUMBUS TELEGRAM, June 26, 1923-
    HENRY LOSEKE, SR., DEAD- At 2 o'clock this afternoon occurred the death ofHenry Loseke, sr., at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. H. Leavy, at the ageof 85 years. He had been in fairly good health until two weeks ago whencomplications from his advanced years rendered him bedfast. Mr. Loseke wasnumbered among the oldest of the pioneers of Platte county, coming here in1868, shortly after the town of Columbus was founded. From the soil, as afarmer and stock-raiser, he wrung a comfortable fortune, and has always been aleader in the agricultural interests in the county. Mr. Loseke was born inOldenburg, Germany, October 11, 1837. He came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.John H. Loseke, and three other children to America in 1858, the familysettling on the creek that now bears the Loseke name. In 1864, he was marriedto Mrs. Kumpf, who died in September, 1909, and was buried in Columbuscemetery, where Mr. Loseke's remains will be interred beside those of hiswife. After her death, Mr. Loseke made his home with his daughter, Mrs. L. H.Leavy. Besides this daughter, six other children survive him- Mrs. Wm. Reese,of Kearney, who arrived this afternoon; Henry Loseke, jr., of this city; LouisLoseke, on Route 1 out of Columbus; August Loseke, living north of Columbus,and Mrs. Wm. Bucher of Columbus, and Mrs. Henry Grotelueschen, of Columbus,the last two named being step-daughters. One brother, Gerhard Loseke, sr.,also survives him. Funeral arrangements have not yet been perfected. Mr.Loseke, throughout his life was a devout member of the Lutheran church, andwas one of founders of the Loseke Creek church, affiliating with the Columbuscongregation when he moved into the city. Coming as he did in the early daysof Platte county history, he had witnessed its progress from a barren prairieto a rich farming community, in the development of which he played no smallpart.
