Henry Soloman Eitelgeorge was born in Aurora, Kane county, Ill, March 21, 1869 where he started to school at the age of six years. At the age of seven years he came with his family to Storm Lake, Iowa and started life in the pioneer style by breaking the sod and building a home. Then the family moved back to Aurora where the deceased received thirty six months of schooling. From Aurora the family moved to the Ohio river in Southern Indiana in 1885.
He was married to Miss Bertha Elizabeth Fricke of Papillion on March 5, 1896, after one year moving to the Conrad Sinner farm on the county line. In 1901 they moved to the farm now owned by Fred Thompson, next they bought the farm southeast of Papillion. Nine children were born to Mr and Mrs Eitelgeorge, three of whom survive. They are Mrs Lydia Norton, Miss Louise Eitelgeorge of Omaha, Mrs Sophia Schmidt of Papillion, five grandchildren: Eva Mae, Elaine, and Ethel Norton of Omaha, Marilyn and Robert Schmidt of Papillion; by two brothers: Rev Samuel Eitelgeorge, Higginsville, Missouri and Rev Benjamin Eitelgeorge, Cannon City, Colo; four sisters: Mrs Lydia Schuermayer, Louisville, Kentucky; Mrs Anna Macaulay, Great Falls, Montana; Mrs Fred Schwask and Miss Minnie Eitelgeorge of Canton, Ohio.
The deceased became a member of the Methodist church at the age of thirteen years and had served in an official capacity in some department of the same most of his life. No member was more respected and revered than he. Quiet of manner, cooperative in spirit, industrious, inspiring confidence in religious values he lived a good life and has left a legacy of triumphant faith in the goodness of God manifest in the brotherhood of all men. He read the church's literature to be a good Methodist and read his bible to be an informed Christian. He passed to his reward Tuesday in Omaha aged 76 yrs, 1 month, 10 days. We will miss him but life has been made the richer because he lived. He sang in the St Paul's choir for fifty years.
