Lydia Hook - Obituary
Lydia Hook, wife of Stephen Hook (deceased) May 6th, 1885. Mrs. Hook was born in Connecticut Feb. 21st, 1821; married July 5, 1841; came to Wisconsin in the fall of 1842; has resided in the town of Oregon about 40 years. She had been a christian from childhood, and a member of the M. E. church over 50 years. She was a kind neighbor and retained the confidence of all who knew her. She evinced the fact that a christian life - a life measuring up to the profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ - is the sweetest and best on earth. Her last words to her children were, "meet me in Heaven." She suffered much during her illness but bore up with great fortitude. Seven children - four boys and three girls, - with many relatives, mourn their loss. The funeral took place from the Brooklyn church May 8th, conducted by the pastor, C. C. Swartz.

Notes:
OLD SOLDIERS WHO HAVE LIVED IN O'BRIEN COUNTY, IA
Compiled by Geo W. Schee and O.H. Montzheimer
1909, Primghar, IA
Prepared for the Internet by Don Harrington
The Book, "Old Soldiers Who Have lived in O'Brien County, Iowa" was published in 1909. Mr Montzheimer did most of the work and Mr Schee furnished most of the funds for publication, printing and postage. It appears that the book was not sold, but a copy was furnished free to each veteran's family. The information on these approximately 500 veterans provide much information on their families in addition to providing their military records. I wish to thank Colleen Boose for making a copy of the book available to me so that it could be placed on the O'Brien website.

Notes:
To make a record of the death of young Sam F. Hengstler, the night telegraph operator here, which occurred shortly after nine o'clock, while attending to the regular duties of his office on that night. There were frequent and heavy flashes of electricity coming into the office, and once or twice had set papers on fire, and which he had succeeded in putting out, by the aid of Mr. Albert Hook of Oregon, who was in the depot, waiting for the 9 o'clock train, to go north. He once asked Mr. Hengstler if he had broken a lamp chimney, and was told that it was lightning that had exploded in his office. Soon more papers were on fire and Mr. Hook rushed in to extinguish these which he did by throwing them upon the floor and stamping the fire out. Sam (as he was familiarly called) stooped down with his hand resting upon the table, to remove some papers that were yet on fire in the little cupboard under his table. He had scarcely commenced to do so when another bolt came and knocked him senseless upon the floor. Mr. Hook kept calling to him, asking if he was hurt &c., and when he had got the fire out, took hold of him to raise him up but was astonished to find him yet insensible, and carried him out into the sitting room, where other persons were in waiting. Finding that something must be done, sent up town and Doctor Evans responded without any delay. The Dr. applied restoratives but noticing that his pulse was gone pronounced him dead. He was taken to the Central House, where he was properly laid out and placed in a refrigerator.
The bolt struck him in the region of the heart, passed diagonally across his bowels, down his right leg and passed off at three or four places in his shoe. His friends--a widowed mother, brothers and sisters--live at North Freedom, and to whom telegrams were sent, as well as to a brother, an operator at Sleepy Eye, Minn. A reply from the latter was received in fifteen minutes, stating that someone would be there by the first train. The 9:25 a.m. express brought a brother and brother-in-law from North Freedom and returend with the remains by the afternoon train. By request of the brothers, prayer was offered before the corpse was removed, by Rev. F. M. Washburn, of the F. W. Baptist church.
That it was sad, does not adequately express the feelings of his young associates here; they had learned to love him for his mental and moral worth. He was a German by birth; was 19 years of age, and had been night operator here four months. Agent Potter did all he could to inform the young man's friends, and in procuring the necessary means for refrigerating the body; likewise the same from day operator Frank Rowley. Other Thanks are expressed elsewhere.
