Edward F. Uphoff, son of E.M. Uphoff and his wife, Ida, nee Heyen, was born August 20, 1889 at Kramer, Nebraska and was received by God in infant baptism. Later, being duly instructed in the Christian religion, he confessed the Faith and by the rite of Confirmation was received into communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Kramer, Nebraska.
He and his parents came to Bruning in 1909, residing here about two years. Then the family moved to Deshler and engaged in business.
On November 26, 1911 the deceased was united in marriage with Miss Clara Elizabeth Hessheimer. Their union was blessed with two sons. Six years later, in 1917, they moved on a farm northeast of Belvidere.
Mrs. Uphoff died in 1932 and in 1936 Mr. Uphoff entered into wedlock with Miss Anna Wagner.
Mr. Uphoff sold the farm last spring and took up residence in Belvidere to engage in business. He had been enjoying good health until last Saturday. Then he was taken sick suddenly and was placed under medical care in the hospital at Hebron. He died there Sunday evening, July 21, 1940 at the age of 50 years, 11 months, and 1 day. [Note: the stone has the wrong death date on it. It should be the 21st instead of the 19th.]
The immediate mourners are his widow; two sons, Paul and Carl of Hebron; foster son, Paul Reiss of Belvidere; one grandchild; his brother, Ernest of Hebron; his sisters, Mrs. Friedericka Johnson of Lincoln; Mrs. Charles Brettmen of Hebron; Mrs. Louis Schultz of Deshler; Mrs. Theo. Sagehorn of Kramer; and Miss Amanda Uphoff of Lincoln; many more distant relatives, and a number of friends. Peace to his ashes!
Funeral services were held on Wednesday, July 24, at 9:30 a.m. at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Bruning, conducted by Rev. J.B. Cronek. Interment was in the Church cemetery.
"To Christ I now stretch but my arms, / And gladly hence betake me; / I sleep at peace from all alarms, / No human voice can wake me. But Christ is with me through the strife, / And He will bear into life, / And open heaven before me."
