Carl Barz/Anna Ollerman
The Snyder Centennial Book
Carl Barz (9-14-1860/2-8-'28) was born in Germany, the third child
of Wilhelm and Johanna Amalia Wofler (Voefler) Barz. He had a
brother, Wilhelm, and a sister, Henrietta. Carl immigrated to
America in 1882, but his family remained in Germany. His trade was
listed as kegler.
Carl went to work for Franz Ollerman as a hired farm hand. He fell
in love with Franz's daughter, Anna.
Anna Ollerman (7-24-1857/9-13-'34) was born in Germany. She came to
America with her mother, four brothers and a sister to join their
father in Snyder. He came a year earlier to find a home and then
sent for his family. Anna was nine when she arrived here. She was
confirmed in the Trinity L.C. - "Gamerish zu Pebbla Creek" on March
29, 1874.
When Carl and Anna were refused permission to marry, They eloped
and were married March 25, 1884. They homesteaded in Pebble Twp.
Their three children were born there on the farm - Wilhelm Edward
(12-15-1884), Ottilie Henretta (6-18-1888) and Valeska Elfreda (4-
28-1893/8-21-1895) who died of summer flu.
Wilhelm (Willie) Barz married Mary Pateidl, daughter of James and
Mary Pateidl. The 1910 census lists them in Dodge Co., Pebble
Twp., Snyder. They had one son, Carl James Barz (9-10-'10). They
moved to Fremont and lived there until their deaths in the 1970's.
Ottilie married Walter Leroy Gustin in 1911 in Fremont. Carl, at
different times owned the brickyard, ran the saloon in the old
Opera House and farmed. After the farmhouse burned, he built a
two-story house in 1901 on a corner east of the general store and
planted a birch tree in the yard. Both were still standing in the
1970's.
Carl became a naturalized citizen on May 4, 1903 in Dodge Co.
District Court in Fremont.
Carl and Anna, along with several other families from Nebraska
including Alvin Frahm, Benie Klug, Anthony Bolte, and ___Draper
bought land in Pointe Coupee Parish, LA near Morganza from a real
estate agent. They moved by train Oct. 15, 1915, taking everything
they owned including livestock. The animals died from the humid
heat. Most of the families returned to Nebraska.
Carl became an overseer for the Ely Realty Co. and stayed in
Louisiana. He lived on Ely property at first and then started to
buy a plantation from Ely. He became ill and his grandson, Carl J.
Gustin took over the payments. The property remains in the family,
now owned by Carl Barz's great-grandson, Perry G. Gustin.
Carl died of cancer. Anna lived with her son-in-law and daughter,
Walter and Ottilie Gustin, until her death.
Both are buried in St. Mary's Episcopal Cemetery in Morganza, LA.

William E. Barz
Dodge and Washington Counties
Page 565
William E. Barz. In a comparative sense Nebraska is to be
designated as one of the younger commonwealths of the Union, even
though she has maintained the dignity of statehood for more than
half a century, and it is gratifying to record that within her
borders are now found many native sons whose loyalty and
eligibility are shown in their incumbency of various offices of
public trust. In Dodge County Mr. Barz has maintained his home
from the time of his birth and here he has been called upon to
serve in various official positions, including that of county
clerk, of which he is the present efficient and popular incumbent.
Mr. Barz was born on a farm near Scribner, Dodge County, December
15, 1884, and is a son of Carl and Anna (Ollerman) Barz, both
natives of Germany and both pioneers of Dodge County, where their
marriage was solemnized. Carl Barz was active in the development
of farm industry in this county and after having been engaged in
agricultural pursuits a number of years he operated a brick yard at
Snyder, this county, for another term of years. He finally
purchased a farm in the state of Louisiana, and there he and his
wife have resided since 1916, his attention being given mainly to
the improvement and cultivation of his farm. Of the two children
William E. of this review is the elder, and Ottilie is the wife of
Walter Gustin, their home being now in the State of Louisiana.
He whose name introduces this sketch acquired his preliminary
education in the district schools of his native county, and
thereafter he continued his studies in the Fremont Normal School
and Business College. After a due experience in connection with
farm work he attended the public schools at Snyder and in the
meanwhile clerked in a local drug store. Thereafter he served a
few years as deputy postmaster at Snyder, and his later activities
in that village were in the operation of a brick yard, besides
which he gave considerable attention to the feeding of cattle for
the market.
After removing to Fremont, the county seat, he was appointed deputy
county assessor and served in 1908-1909. His next occupation was
in connection with a lumber yard and grain elevator at Snyder, and
he has served as clerk in a number of the retail mercantile
establishments of Snyder. In 1912 he was appointed deputy county
clerk and served until 1917. Mr. Barz was elected county clerk,
and the best voucher for the ability he displayed in this office
was that given in his re-election 1918. He has given a very
efficient administration of the multifarious affairs of this
important county office and his service has net with unequivocal
popular approval.
Mr. Barz has been unwavering in his support of the cause of the
democratic party, and he is prominently affiliated with both the
lodge and encampment bodies of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, in which he has passed the various official chairs in
both, and he is identified also with the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
In 1908 Mr. Barz was united in marriage to Miss Mary Pateridl, who
likewise is a native of Dodge County, and they have one child,
Carl, who is a student in the Fremont schools.

Obituary - Bertha Wichert Ollerman
Fremont Weekly Herald
January 8, 1884
West Point has been having another suicide case, as we hear from
the Progress. Last Monday week Miss Bertha Wichert, a lady of
mature years, aged about forty-five, was married by Judge Mewis to
Mr. Ollerman, Sr., of Scribner. The lady had been residing for
years with her stepfather, August Wichert, who lives six miles east
of town. After the marriage the bride and groom separated, the
former going to her father's house, and the latter to Scribner to
complete a residence which he was building there for her reception.
He was to have called the day after the suicide, and taken her to
her new home. To Mr. Wichert she expressed herself as being fearful
of having made a mistake in getting married, and appeared very
downcast and disheartened. Soon afterwards she took a dose of
laudanum. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to
her death by poison administered by her own hand while laboring
under a temporary fit of insanity.

Obituary - Franz Fredrich Herman Ollerman
Scribner News
November 27, 1903
Death inflicted a painful surprise on the community early Sunday
morning by suddenly claiming Franz Friedrich Herman Ollermann at
the advanced age of 79 years. For several weeks Mr. Ollermann had
been more or less indisposed with kidney trouble, but he was about
the house last Saturday and ate a hearty supper. During the night
he got up, but was taken with a fainting spell and had to be
assisted back to his bed. medical aid was summoned, but shortly
after the physician arrived the patient who was sitting up in bed,
suddenly fell backward and expired in about a half an hour. The
funeral was held from the house Monday afternoon. Numerous
relatives and friends were present to pay their last respects to
the dead. Interment took place in Pebble cemetery. Mr. Ollermann
was born in Kreitzig, province of Pomerania, Prussia, on December
12, 1824, and for many years followed his vocation as a tailor in
his native land. In 1867 he emigrated to America and located in
Wisconsin. Two years later he came to Dodge county with his family
and took up a homestead. There he remained until some nineteen
years ago, when on account of advancing years, he took up his abode
in Scribner. Beside his wife six children survive him. Rev. M. B.
Harrison's remarks at the funeral included the following; "
Deceased was musical in his tastes and was devoted to reading as
well. He was tidy in his habits, as any passerby might recognize
from the remarkable trim appearance of his yard and walks and
flowers and petunias. All his neighbors knew him to be kindly,
accommodating, helpful and friendly. He was a lover of his house
and a devoted assistant to his wife in all her labors."
Card of Thanks. I desire to thank the neighbors and friends for the
many acts of kindness extended during the illness and death of my
late husband. Franz Ollermann. Mrs. Christine Ollermann

H. O. L. Ollermann
Dodge and Washington Counties
Page 577
H. O. L. Ollermann. A resident of Blair since September, 1881, and
consecutively identified for nearly forty years with the jewelry
business in the county seat of Washington, County, Mr. Ollermann
represents a pioneer family in Dodge and Washington counties. Apart
from their substantial enterprise as homesteaders, business men and
citizens, the Ollermanns particularly with the older settlers, are
widely known all over this section of Nebraska on account of their
musical gifts and abilities. The Blair merchant was for many years
prominent in all musical events in his home city.
Mr. Ollermann was born in the Province of Pomerania, Prussia,
Germany, January 5, 1855, son of Franz and Othelia (Krahn)
Ollermann. His father was a thoroughly educated musician and gave
his son the benefit of musical instructions in Germany. The father
at one time was a traveling musician with a concert band and spent
one season with a circus band. By trade he was a tailor.
The Ollermann family came to America and settled in Dodge County, a
half miles from Snyder in section 32, township 20, range 6. The
mother lived on the homestead until her death, while Franz
Ollermann died at Scribner. They were devout Lutherans, and the
father followed the fortunes of the democratic party in politics.
There were six children, two daughters and four sons. The three
now living are : Gustave, a farmer near St. Charles, South Dakota,
H. O. L.; and Anna, wife of Carl Barz, owner of extensive
plantation interest and a banker at Morganza, Louisiana.
H. O. L. Ollermann learned to play the violin when a child and at
the age of nine played for a wedding in his native country. He was
twelve when he came to America and settled on the homestead in
Nebraska. He and his three brothers and their father comprised a
family orchestra that forty years or more ago was in constant
demand to play at all the dances in Fremont and adjacent towns.
They were musicians of sound taste as well as skill in the use of
their respective instruments.
After his removal to Blair H. O. L. Ollermann organized a band and
for a number of years played both in the band and orchestra. On
locating at Blair in September, 1881, he took charge of the jewelry
department of the local drug store. He had learned the jeweler's
trade in Fremont, and he was actively identified with the jewelry
business at Blair until September, 1911, when he opened a jewelry
store of his own. He now conducts the leading establishment of its
kind in the county seat, carries a large and well selected stock of
jewelry of all kinds, and also does repair work. He keeps two
people employed in the business.
In 1880 at David City, Nebraska, Mr. Ollermann married Hattie S.
Woodruff, a native of Hartford, Connecticut. Four children were
born to their marriage; Parker, who served in the United States
navy for five years, and is now at home assisting his father in
business; Agnes, a teacher in the schools of Weeping Water,
Nebraska; Hermine, at home; and Frederick, still attending school
at Lincoln, taking the agricultural course and in his senior year.
Mr. Ollermann attends the Lutheran Church while his wife is a
Universalist. He is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, casts his vote independently, and is a citizen who has
given close attention to business but incidentally has exercised a
good influence on the community and achieved the thorough respect
and esteem of his fellow citizens.

Mrs. Wilhelmina Ollerman after brief disease of two or three days,

eight days. Mrs. Ollerman, her maiden name Caroline Wilhelmina
Augusta Froemming was born Dec. 24, 1841 in the province of

ten, and Otto, six years of age. Three years later, in 1883, she
came to America with her two sons and to Scribner because here her
father and a sister Mrs. Bauman had preceded her.
In Scribner Mrs. Dallman, met an old country neighbor and friend,

happily together for eighteen years, and then some seven years ago
by his death she became for the second time a widow.
Mrs. Ollerman was warmhearted and friendly and found much happiness
in her home and because of her active temperament she had time also
for neighbors and friends. She was conspicuously tidy and
attractive in appearance. She had never known in her own
experience much of sickness, but she realized in the severity of
her last illness that the end of life was perhaps near, and she
hoped that she was ready to live or die. She will be pleasantly

Mrs. Ollerman was a warm hearted and friendly, and found much
happiness in her home: and because of her active temperament she
had time also for neighbors and friends, who join the relatives in
mourning her death.

Death of Aug. Schroeder
For the second time within a comparatively short period death has
entered the home of Aug. Schroeder, and this time the head of the
family was called. Mr. Schroeder's illness was of only about a
week's duration. He caught a severe cold which rapidly developed
into pneumonia and he succumbed to the disease last Saturday
morning.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. B. Harrison at the
Congregational church Monday afternoon. The arrangements were in
charge of the local G. A. R. post and the ladies of the G. A. R.
The later organization also assisted in the services in accordance
with their beautiful ritual. Floral offerings were numerous and
the flag of his country which the deceased had served faithfully,
added to their beauty. Many of those who were not able to gain
admittance to the church joined in the procession to the Pebble
cemetery, where the dead soldier sleeps his last peaceful sleep.
Following were the pallbearers; Carl Kreibel and J. C. Corliss, of
Hooper; E. C. Burns, Jacob Wuite, G. G. Stone and W. L. Golder, of
Scribner. All were old soldiers and the first named served in the
same company with the deceased.
Aug. Schroeder was born in the kingdom of Prussia on Jan. 13, 1841.
At the age of sixteen he came to America with his parents and
Watertown, Wis. was his home until 1861, when, at the age of
twenty, he enlisted in a Wisconsin regiment, serving the full term
of three years. He came to Nebraska in 1870 and has since made his
home on the homestead which he then took. Besides the widow a
large number of children, the youngest about four years of age,
survive him. As a soldier and as a citizen Mr. Schroeder's conduct
was always such as to win for him the highest respect of his
comrades and friends. He was prominent in G. A. R. circles and at
the time of his death was adjutant of the local post. In politics
he affiliated with the republican party and last fall was the
candidate of his party for county supervisor. The sterling
qualities which he exhibited in his youth on the field of battle
were exemplified in his pioneer days and entered his every day
affairs during the remainder of his life.

August Schroeder, a farmer living on Section 8, Everett township,
came to Dodge County in the autumn of 1870, and first located on
the farm he now occupies. He took a homestead of eight acres of
wild land, upon which he placed good improvements, including a good
residence 18x30 feet, built in 1883; also a barn, cribbing, good
granary, and a bored well provided with windpower. He also set out
an orchard of one hundred trees. The farm now consists of one
hundred and eighty acres, one hundred and fifty of which is under
the plow. He brought about one thousand dollars to the country
with him, but being here through the terrible ravages of the
grasshoppers, he saw many hard times, but all in all has made a
successful farmer.
To acquaint the reader with this man's earlier career, let it be
stated that he was born in Germany in January, 1841, the son of
William and Charlotte Schroeder, natives of Germany, who had six
children, named as follows; Robert, August, Charles, Bertha, Minnie
and Emma.
Our subject remained in Germany until seventeen years of age, when
he emigrated with his parents to America. From New York they came
direct to Dodge County, Wisconsin, where he worked out for a time
and bought a farm upon which he remained thirteen years, and then
came to Dodge County, Nebraska. In 1861 he enlisted in Company E
Tenth Regular Wisconsin Volunteers, under Captain John H. Ely. He
was mustered in at Milwaukee; belonged to the Fourteenth Army
Corps, was sent to Kentucky, and was in the engagements at
Perryville, Chichamauga, Stone River, and Murfreesboro, but came
out of the service without receiving a wound, after having served
three years.
Our subject's advantages for an education were fair. He was
married October, 1868, to Johanna Bushky. For his second wife our
subject married, March 4, 1872, Maria Ollerman, daughter of Franz
and Ottilie Ollerman, who had six children; Gustav, Frank, Maria,
Herman, Anna and Edward.
Our subject and his wife are the parents of nine children; John,
Emma, Walter, Adline, Ottilie, Meta, Edwin, Elsie and Herbert.
Politically, Mr. Schroeder believers in the principles of the
Republican party.
SCHROEDER, AUGUST

Mrs. August Schroeder met with a terrible accident at her home in
the eastern part of town Monday noon which resulted in her death
about 12:30 yesterday morning. Mrs. Schroeder was engaged in
heating a can of turpentine and floor wax on the stove. The fluid
caught a blaze. She picked up the can with her apron and started to
carry it out doors. At the door the blaze shot up and set her
clothing on fire. Her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Reetz, tried to
smother the flames with a blanket, but the fire was not
extinguished until most of the clothing was burned from the body.
Mrs. Schroeder fell down exhausted out doors. She was taken into
the house and medical aid was summoned at once. It was found that
two-thirds of her body was charred. Everything possible was done
for her, but she lingered in agony until her death. Funeral
services will be held from the Congregational church Saturday
afternoon, services beginning at the house at 1 o'clock.
