Author:   Pastor J. P. Kuehnert
Text:   — Lyons, Nebrs., 6. Febr. — Aus der hiesigen St. Johannisgemeinde sind zwar nach und nach eine ganze Anzahl Glieder fortgezogen, aber in einem Zeitraum von neun Jahren haben wir keins der stimmberechtigten beerdigen müssen. In den letzten neun Monaten jedoch hat Gott vier derselben abberufen. Am 15. April 1912 entschlief der Ehemann Georg Miller im Alter von fast 52 Jahren und schon zwei Tage später unser ältestes Mitglied, der Witwer Friedrich Ruhe im hohen Alter von 84 Jahren und 7 Monaten. — Am 8. August entschlief nach kurzem Krankenlager an Altersschwäche unser nächstältester Glaubensbruder, Herr Jürgen Riesche, ein Gründer unserer Gemeinde, im Alter von 80 Jahren. Und am Montag morgen den 27. Jan. wurde unsre Gemeinde schon wieder in große Traurigkeit versetzt durch die unerwartete Nachricht: unser lieber Mitbruder Friedrich Rewinkel ist gestorben. Gleich nach der Rückkehr von unsrer Synode in Seward gegen Ende August, an der er, wie öfter, mit rechter Herzensfreude teilnahm, wurde er durch ein plötzliches Lungenbluten einige Zeit recht schwach, erholte sich jedoch scheinbar wieder. Nachdem wir aber am 29. Dez. seine Nichte, Frau Alma Wilhelm, geb. Rewinkel, die, in Kansas City wohnhaft, nach zweimaliger Operation in einem dortigen Hospital, erst 32 Jahre alt, gestorben war, von seinem Hause aus beerdigt hatten, konnte er nach dem Neujahrstag unser Gotteshaus nicht mehr besuchen, obwohl er nicht gerade bettlägerig war. Obgleich er selbst ernstlich an sein Ende dachte, hat es dochniemand so bald erwartet. Friedrich Rewinkel wurde am 20. Juli 1847 zu Langendorf bei Dannenberg, Hannover, geboren. Im Jahre 1868 landete er nach manchen Gefahren zur See an der Küste seiner neuen Heimat und hielt sich zunächst vier Jahre bei Eitzen, Minn., auf. Am 6. April 1872, also vor beinahe 41 Jahren, kam er nach Lyons und diente zunächst bei Mr. Lyon, dem Gründer unsers Städtchens. Im Okt. 1874 trat er in den heiligen Ehestand mit Jungfrau Anna Spannuth, seiner ihn tief betrauernden Witwe. Der damalige Reiseprediger Pastor A. W. Frese vollzog die Trauung. Die sehr glückliche Ehe segnete Gott mit 5 Söhnen und 5 Töchtern, welche, obwohl sie bei seinem Abscheiden zum Teil weit entfernt waren, doch alle beim Begräbnis des geliebten Vaters zugegen sein konnten. Im Juni 1875 hatte er sich mit seiner jungen Gattin auf seiner Farm, eine Meile von unserer Kirche, niedergelassen, auf welcher er bis zu seinem Ende tätig gewesen ist. Die Beschwerden und Kämpfe der ersten Ansiedler hat auch er reichlich erfahren, doch erinnerte er sich derselben immer gern und mit Freuden und mit Dank gegen Gott. Wiederholt haben Heuschrecken und Hagel in jenen ersten Jahren die Ernte vernichtet, so daß mancher alles im Stich ließ; die aber wie unser Freund Rewinkel Ausdauer bewiesen, hat Gott später auch reichlich gesegnet. Im Mai 1874 schon half er, noch unverheiratet, die hiesige Gemeinde mit acht andern gründen, von welchen ihn nun noch drei überleben, nämlich sein älterer Bruder Heinrich, A. Eggert und H. Strelo. Er war durch Gottes Gnade ein sehr fleißiger Hörer des Wortes Gottes, ein eifriges Gemeindeglied, hatte ein warmes Herz und eine offene Hand für das Reich Gottes, ließ zwei seiner Söhne willig zum Dienst in der Kirche Christi ausbilden und hat auch der Gemeinde in ihrem Vorstand viele Jahre treu gedient. Sein Abscheiden war fein sanft und stille im Vertrauen auf Christi Verdienst. Er hinterläßt seine treue Lebensgefährtin, zehn Kinder: Wilhelm, einer unsrer Vorsteher, Friedrich, Anna, Louis, Lehrer in Columbu, Nebr., Hermann, Arthur, Lehrer bei Wilcox, Nebr., Melinde, Emma, Else und Ida, zwei Schwiegertöchter, zwei Enkel und andere Verwandte. Er brachte sein Alter auf 65 Jahre, 6 Monate, 4 Tage. Die Beerdigung fand unter großer Beteiligung am 1. Februar nachmittags statt, bei welcher sein Seelsorger die deutsche Leichenrede hielt über 1. Joh. 3, 2, und Pastor Homann die englische über Phil. 1, 21. Unser Herr und Heiland, durch den wir im Tode siegen, sei der Hinterbliebenen Trost und Beistand und helfe ihnen und uns, daß wir im Glauben, Leben und Sterben dem teuren Bruder nachfolgen. J. P. Kuehnert.

Note:   August. Sailor, lumberjack, farmer. Already in 1848 he was no longer listed in the census as living with his parents. He went to work at age 11 on a riverboat on the Elbe, hauling clay products (brick and tile). The family story is that his father arranged a position with the merchant marine out of Hamburg, he was hired to work on a transatlantic freighter, and on his first voyage to America at age 27 he jumped ship in New York. He gave his money to some Germans in New York and got a railroad ticket west, leaving only a few dollars for his food. But in fact he was issued a passport on 11 March 1869 with the stated intent to emigrate, and passenger ship records indicate that he sailed for the US on the Hammonia, age 29, departing from Hamburg and Havre 24 March 1869, and landing at New York City 6 April 1869. He never served in the military, either in Germany or in the US. He worked in a forest near Eitzen MN for three years, where he came to know the Spannuth family. He may have lived in St. Paul briefly in 1870, as there was an August Eggert working in a lumberyard at that time. But an August Eggert was also living in St. Paul in the 1880s, so the St. Paul connection is probably incorrect. On 6 November 1871 he filed his declaration of intent to become a citizen of the United States, in Caledonia, Houston County, Minnesota. At that time he could not sign his own name.

Note:   He moved to Burt County NE in 1871 (EE4) or more likely 1872 (FYH) and worked as a farm laborer for Waldo Lyon, for whom Lyons Nebraska was named. He was a charter member of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church near Lyons, Nebraska, on 23 April 1874. He purchased his farm southeast of Lyons by grant from the US Government in 1879. This farm was on the southwest quarter of section 5, Everett Township (later Bell Creek Township), Burt County, Nebraska. He met his wife while delivering a load of grain to Norfolk Nebraska, where she worked as a waitress in a café. Their first eight children were born in the small house that was later turned into a chicken house. The remaining children were born in their new larger house on the farm. He had an extensive orchard and large garden. He raised grapes, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, many kinds of apples, cherries, plums, and apricots and peaches. His huge garden provided many vegetables for the family table. August became a naturalized citizen on 23 Sep 1890. In 1891, a Maria or Catharina Klusendorf/Klüßendorf died suddenly at his residence. She had been living with H. A. Doescher and was seeking to sue him for breach of promise of marriage, when she suddenly fell ill while milking cows at the Eggert farm and died within four hours. August was naturalized in 1896 (CEN1920). In 1897 his house was burgled unsuccessfully, two pocketbooks having been recovered, but the perpetrator not found. He also owned a farm at McLean, in Pierce County, which he sold in 1914. They moved to Lyons in May 1922 after son Herman took over the farm.

Note:   The 1870 census gives his age as 27, though it is likely this is the incorrect person. The 1880 census gives his age as 32. EGG20 gives his name as Johann Friedrich August. CEN1910 says he immigrated 1870, CEN1920 says 1865, EFC.1, EGG2.1, EGG3.1, and EGG20 say 1868.
