Funeral services will be Saturday afternoon at Barstow, California for Dr. E.O. Koeneman and his grandson, Tom Osman, who were killed instantly when the car in which they were driving was struck by a fast freight. The car was completely demolished and it was not possible to tell which one was driving. Dr. Koeneman, veteran Eldora physician and his grandson left last Saturday by car for the west planning to arrive at the home of his son, John in Barstow Thursday morning. Mrs. Koeneman and her daughter, Mrs. John W. Moffett and two children, Nan and Billy left Des Moines Tuesday by train and arrived in Barstow Thursday morning, presumably a few hours after the accident. Eugene O. Koeneman was born in Saint Louis August 13, 1878. The family came to Whitten, Iowa, where the father operated a drug store nearly 60 years ago. Dr. Koeneman worked in the drug store and later studied medicine in Chicago and had practiced in Eldora for nearly 50 years. He held several official positions of honor in his profession among them member of the legislative committee of the state medical association. His wife, the former Bessie Kenter was also a native of Whitten. They were the parents of three children, Mrs. Margaret Osman, who died in December 1945; Mrs. John W. Moffett, who with her husband is removing from Des Moines to Minneapolis where Dr. Moffet is associated with the Minneapolis Star Journal and John Koeneman, Barstow, California. Miss Gene Osman, daughter of the deceased daughter and sister of Tom Osman is a student at Drake University. Also surviving are four sisters, Mrs. James L. Brown, Eldora, Mrs. Calvin Boylan, Iowa Falls, Mrs. Aaron Boylan, San Diego, California, Mrs. W.O. Reed, Pasadena, California and a brother, W.T. Koeneman, Seattle. Past and Present of Hardin County Iowa, 1911 Eugene O. Koeneman, M.D. Hardin County has been fortunate in the high grade of her professional men. Especially is this true of the medical fraternity and of this class the name of Dr. Eugene O. Koeneman, of Eldora, is deserving of special mention, he being one of these strong, self-reliant and determined characters who are occasionally met with and who are of such a distinct type as to seem to be born leaders of their fellow men. Not that Doctor Koeneman courts that distinction, for he is entirely unassuming, but his record proves that he is the possessor of such traits and attributes as to insure success in any walk of life and the medical profession has been fortunate in securing him. Dr. Koeneman was born in St. Louis, Missouri, August 13. 1870 and he is the son of W.E. and Helen (Guenther) Koeneman. When he was about ten years of age the family moved to State Center, Marshall County, Iowa, where they lived four years, then moved to Odebolt, Sac County and in 1889 came on to Hubbard, Hardin County. After receiving a good education in the public schools, the subject began life for himself by clerking in a drug store at Odebolt from 1885 to 1889. Coming with the family to Hubbard, he worked there six months. Then opened and managed a drug store at Whitten for G.W. Reynolds, of Conrad, having charge of that store from 1889 to 1892, when he purchased it himself. In 1895 he turned the store over to his father and entered Drake University at Des Moines, from which he was graduated in pharmacy. He then went to the University of Illinois, where he took a medical course and was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1899. He was registered as a pharmacist in 1889 and was the youngest registered pharmacist in the state at that time, being only eighteen years of age. In 1897 he took the degree of Graduate Pharmacist at Drake University. On June 15, 1899, he located at Eldora, this county, where he has engaged in the practice of his profession ever since, being successful from the first and building up a very lucrative and satisfactory practice with the town and county. He has been very successful as a general practitioner and has kept up with the trend of medical science in all branches. The Doctor is a member of the Hardin County Medical Society, also the State Medical Association and the National Medical Association. Fraternally, he belongs to the Masonic order. He is a Knight Templar and belongs to the Ancient Arabic Order of nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is one of the prominent members of this time-honored order in this section of the state and would judge from his daily life that he tries to live up to its high precepts. Doctor Koeneman was married in 1891 to Effie Miller, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Miller, of Whitten, Iowa, a complete sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work. Mrs. Koeneman passed away on August 17, 1892, leaving one daughter, Vera [1894-1956; married to Miles W. Sayer]. The Doctor was again married in 1898 to Bessie K. Kentner, of Whitten. She is the daughter of C.H. Kentner and wife, a highly respected family of this county. To the Doctor's second marriage two daughters and one son have been born, Margaret, Janette and John.
