| 601 | I03872 | AN OLD PIONEER CALLED AWAY SUDDENLY "In the middle of living we are embraced by death." This unpleasant truth was confirmed anew through the sudden death of Mr. Friedrich Hake from North Prairie. Apparently he had left his home and had gone with his son Alfred to the Illinois Southern Railroad to go to Huegely where he planned to board the trin to Nashville. About 40 acres from the house of Mr. Wm. Brink, Sr., Mr. Hake suffered a stroke and fell to the ground. mr. Wm. aussieker, who had set out in the woods and likewise was going to the railroad, saw him fall and hurried quickly to the place, but the soul had already passed. the deceased had fallen backwards and lay with the right hand stretched out and the left hand on the chest. Without pain, without struggle, he went to eternal rest -- he would never reach his earthly goal but did reach the heavenly goal, which he had always anticipated. As soon as Mr. Aussieker was sure that the life was gone, he lifted the departed from the track and notified Mr. Wm. Brink, Sr., who with Mr. Friedrich Neuhaus, brought the body home. The sorrow of his relatives from the heavy blow of fate which took from them their husband and father is more to be contemplated than described. He had already had two strokes from which he fully recovered; in the past year he enjoyed good health. The post-mortem examination was held on Tuesday evening and the report read death by heart attack. The jury consisted of Dr. Walter Burgess, Henry Hake, Jr., J. H. C. Wiese, Friedrich Wacker, Friedrich Krughoff, Sr., and Henry Maschhoff. Mr. Hake was born on February 8, 1834, in the farming community Hordinghausen, the parish of Lindorf, (Post Office Wittlage) in Hanover, Germany, and came in 1848 with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Friedrich Hake, Sr., to the United States. From St. Louis they moved to North Priarie about a year later. On the 12th of August, 1860, Mr. Hake married Miss Sophia Hartmann, daughter of Mr. Heinrich Hartmann, the union of which was blessed with 15 children of whom 3 sons and a daughter preceded the father in death. He leaves behind, besides his grieving widow, 11 children: Louis Hake, Mrs. Lizzie Huck, Mrs. Martha Krughoff, George, Edward, Frank, and Miss Sarah Hake, Alfred, Joseph, Albert ad Lorenz Hake, as well as 22 grandchildren, a foster son and two brothers, Heinrich and Ernst Hake. Mr. Hake was one of the first German settlers of this county and from very modest beginnings he brought it to prosperity through diligence, caution and thrift. When he came to North Priairie, everything was still a wilderness, but the hard working hands of the good German changed forest and prairie into fine farmland. The hard work and the self-denial radiated the character, and in the rigorous school of life, Mr. Hake became a man of unbending will and energy. His fellow citizens proved to him their respect because they frequently bequeathed honorary offices to him. He was, therefore, repeatedly Township Assessor, Justice of the Peace, and for over 20 years a school trustee. In famly life he was a loving husband, a caring father and saw his children grow up to be useful, honest people. As a young man, he attended the German Methodist Church and helped to establish the first Methodist parish in North Prairie. About 40 years he presided as Superintendent of the Sunday School there wand worked at the same time as a local minister. Just last Sunday he preached in the Methodist Church in Hoyleton, but the thought never occurred to his listeners that they had heard his voice for the last time. The Sunday School pupils whom he had instructed so many years in the scriptures and the parishioners to whom he showed the way to salvation will preserve fond memory of him and through him the promise will be fulfilled: "The teachers will give light as the splendor of heaven and they direct so many to righteousness as the stars, always and eternally." The funeral will take place tomorrow (Friday) afternoon in the church in North Prairie, whereupon burial will follow at the cemetery there. Our sincere sympathy is extended to the sorrowing survivors. (Illinois Volksblatt, 15 January 1903) FRIEDRICH W. HAKE LAID TO REST On Friday afternoon the funeral of Mr. F. W. Hake was held in the German Methodist Church in North Prairie. At the house of mourning a short funeral service was held under the direction of Rev. Miller. Rev. Pannwitt said the prayer. The exceptionally large funeral procession moved to the church here, which was filled to such capacity with mourners that many could not gain entrance. The Chorus sang the favorite song of the deceased: "Eternally with the Lord, Shall be my life's fate These words shall always be my hope It shall close heaven's gate." Rev. Pannwitt gave the prayer after which the elder superior F. Mahle from Belleville gave a comforting message about the words: Christ is my life, dying my victory." The deceased had chosen these words as his life's motive. At the end of the service, the mourners sorrowfully looked for the last time upon the countenance of their friend lying in peaceful slumber. The pastors Eirich, Katthain and Schroedel were present at the funeral service. Because the deceased departed so suddenly and the possibility of an apparent death could not be excluded, the burial was postponed. After the service on Sunday morning, the deceased was buried at the parish cemetery. His grave site is near the church in which he worked with great blessing almost a lifetime as a local minister and Sunday School Superintendent. While he slumbers in teh narrow chamber toward resurrection day, he will live on in the memory of loving friends. (Illinois Volksblatt 22 January 1903) |

| 618 | I0435 | Ulrich left Switzerland probably in the 1670s according to German records that say he arrived in the Palatinate around then. His history as written in 1766 by his grandson Martin, the Mennonite Minister at Mannheim, states that Hans Ulrich was a "Bernerman" from the area of Aargau. The Canton of Bern did include the area of Aargau. This fits with the earliest records for Mellingers in Switzerland. Though documentation is weak, it appears Hans Ulrich was in the Palatinate as early as 1674 at which time he was apparently 34 years old. The child of Hans Ulrich, Vincenz, died at Ruchheim in 1748 at the age of 80--Ruchheim was where Benedict was identified in 1654--just 6 years after the end of the Thiry-year War that had devastated the Palatinate. This timing would also indicate that Benedict also came from Switzerland. In 1674 he rented an estate belonging to the Count of Leiningen. He settled on Franchensteilbschen, or bei Gunthers Blum about 1680. In 1684 he was temporarily on Cherry House Garden Farm about 2 hours from Mannheim where he died. His son Martin stated that "he was a small person, but very hearty with a great and fresh soul." |

| 620 | I04378 | The greater part of Edward's and Opal's married life has been spent working the Huck Farms in Hoyleton Twp., one mile southwest of Huegely Station. The Missouri and Illinois Railroad runs through their farm. Near the track, one-fourth mile east of the residence, is a well, which is all that remains of Popp Station (1896), named for Mr. Popp who had a general store at the site. Henry Huck was postmaster there. Later the station was moved one-half mile up the track to be used by Huegely Milling Company as a grain-buying station. Soon Huegely Station grew to a general store, post office, blacksmith shop, brickyard, creamery, elevator, and a few homes. the houses remain, but the business places are gone. A sawmill, now in operation, replaced the creamery and the brickyard. Interstate 64 was built through Huck Farms in 1974. An irrigation system was installed on the farm in 1975 as a joint venture by the owner and the present tenants, Lloyd and Virgil Spenner. There are five miles of undergr ound pipe and four pressure pumping units. The Edward Hucks now reside in Nashville. By: Mr. and Mrs. Edward Huck. From: 1979 Washington County History book |

| 641 | I0460 | The McCullar or McCullough family traces its ancestry to Cullo of Neil of Scotland, who fought under the Bruces for the independance of Scotland. The immediate families of McCullars emmigrated from County Antrim, Island, Northern Ireland, Magee Island, prior to the Revolutionary War, about 1772. Alexander McCullar Sr. was a Revolutionary War Soldier and many of his descendants have joined "The Daughters of the American Revolution" on his services in the Revolutionary War. (See Pension #S-4196) Alexander McCullar, born Dec 22/24, 1758 in County Antrim, Ireland, came to America with his family and the Magee family in 1771 and landed at Savannah Georgia. About 1789, he married Esther Magee, a sister to Patrick Magee. She was a small baby when they came from Ireland. She is buried at Bethel Springs, McNairy Co., Tn. and her tombstone shows she died Aug 25, 1852 aged eighty years and six months. She is buried next to Martha (Patsy) (Magee) Rowsey, the ninth child of Patrick Magee and Rosanna (McCullar) Magee. Here we have brother and sister married to brother and sister and the two families stayed together for many years and cousins married cousins until we have a hard time figuring what kin they are to each other. The first place we find our Magee and McCullar families for certain is in Greene Co., Ga.. Will give a few records to show they were there. Greene County Georgia Land Deeds Deed Bk 1, pg 671 Patrick Magee and John McCullough bought land from Robert McLowell on the South Fork of Ogeechee River on Oct. 9, 1792, which they divided between them. We do not know if this is Patrick Magee's brother-in-law or father-in-law.

George Walton. Recorded 6 March 1804. These Deeds and Land Grants covered property in the South-Eastern part of Greene County, which is now Taliferro County, Ga. Most of this land was acquired by Ezekiel Veasy and is still owned by the Veasey family. We went to this land in August 1962 and Mr. John (Jack) Veasey who now lives on the place showed us where the old homestead and blacksmith shop was located. Mr Veasey's address is Crawfordsville, Georgia. The land is on Highway 22, in Taliferro Co., Ga. Next we find that our Magee family drew land in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, as follows. We have not checked on the McCullars, but they probably drew land in the lottery also.

We remained in Garrison at this place for a long time guarding that place from the British and to keep them from assending the river, here I was discharged after my turn of three months was out.
