      Dueker article from 1979 Washington County History book
      Ernest Henry Dueker was born sometimes around 1820, in Preus-Minden, Westphalia, Deutschland. He was a stone mason by trade. His wife, Frederika Rodekopf, was born February 2, 1820, at Unterlube, Regierungs Bezirkt, Minden, Germany.
      To this union nince children were born, two dying in infancy. the seven who grew to adulthood were: Caroline (Mrs. Fred Bartelsmeyer); Frederika (Mrs. Fred Gerling); Wilhemmia (Mrs. Ernest Quern, 2nd marriage. Mrs. August Schmale);Charlotte (Mrs. Karl Krueger); Henry; maria (Mrs. William Brink); and William (adopted son), Mrs. Uphoff.
      In 1858 the Duekers were to set sail for America. Just before they were to set sail Ernest Henry, the father, died and was buried in the old country. Then, for some reason, his wife, was told she had to remain in Germany for one year. She kept the youngest children, Maria and William in Germany, and the other five children came to America with Fred Gerling, where they joined their sister Caroline, who came earlier to North Prairie.
      The following year Frederika and her two children arrived. "Mother Dueker" made her home with the Gerlings until she died on February 28, 1880.
      I was unable to find out if they came by way of New Orleans, or by way of Philadelphis, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Mattoon and Centralia. The latter was a route used by many in the 1860's. We do know that they came by train to Centralia. Incidentally, Centralia was just seven years old at that time.
      Henry, brother of Caroline, was nine years old when he arrived in this country. From the time of his arrival until he was sixteen he lived in the home of his sister, Caroline. William settled in Kansas. The family has lost trace of this branch of family.
      Soon after his sixteenth birthday, Henry went to Kansas City, Missouri to learn the trade of a butcher, which he was, until his marriage to Elizabeth Huck, after which he purchased land for farming. It was to be known as the Dueker home place in North Prairie and today his grandson Warren Dueker is still farming there. To this union were born six children. Walter, born March 9, 1886, married Ida Bierman, died 1950; Dorathea, born August 27, 1888, married Elmer Hake, died January 13, 1942; Agnes, born June 30, 1891, married Rev. Carl Opp; Lillian, born January 13, 1894, married Arthur Rixmann; Arthur, born May 26, 1897, married Louise Garnholz, died January 5, 1966; and George, born January 24, 1903, married Lucella Hake, died April 31, 1967.
      After their marriage, Arthur and Louise resided on the home place where Arthur cont9inued with his chosen occupation. To the union was born three children. Warren, born April 5, 1923, married Arlene Hagebusch; Bertram, born April 4, 1925, married Doris Bedel; Mary Louise, born August 10, 1927, married Dean Haege.
      Bertram and Doris were married at North Prairie Church by Rev. Gerald Weiss. After their marriage, Bertram became a carpenter and they took up residency in Nashville. To their union were born two children: Douglas, born April 11, 1949, married Arlene Brune; Barbara, born May 14, 1953, married Thomas Reel.
      Douglas and Arlene were married at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Nashville. Douglas is a professional mechanical engineer. Douglas and Arlene reside in Powell, Tennessee. To this union was born a son Chadwick. Barbara and Thomas have two sons Ryan and Sean.
      May this family history be a small memorial to those ancestors and dear relatives who have gone before us. By the example of their noble lives, may we in turn be worthy.
