He is now actively engaged in agricultural pursuits upon his fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres in precinct C. Mr. Barghahn is a native of Germany, born September 5, 1840, and is a son of Fredrerick [sic] and Mary (Lutzhia) Barghahn, who, as farming people, spent their entire lives in that country. There our subject was reared and educated in the usual manner of farmer's sons, and on starting out to make his own way in the world worked for fourteen dollars per year. With the hope of bettering his financial condition he came to America in 1870 and settled in Clayton county, Iowa, where he worked by the day for three years. In 1873 he became a resident of Seward county, Nebraska, and took up a homestead in precinct C. He had borrowed some money of his father-in-law, and with this he built a small frame house upon his place. Being industrious, persevering and energetic, he has made a noble record as a successful farmer, and stands to-day one of the substantial and reliable citizens of the county. His farm of one hundred and sixty acres is now under a high state of cultivation. In Germany Mr. Barghahn was married, in 1867, to Miss Catherine Maak, who died in Nebraska in 1874, leaving one daughter, Elizabeth, now Mrs. Clabber [sic]. He was again married, in 1875, his second union being with Miss Dora Rahsa [sic], who was also born in Germany, and the children born to them are Leana, Fredie, Henry, Vena and Johnnie. The parents belong to the German Lutheran church, of which Mr. Barghahn was one of the founders. In politics he is independent, always voting for the man whom he thinks best qualified to fill the office, and for several years he was most creditably served as road overseer. Article from the "Journal" of Seward, Nebraska dated 5 Nov 1920: Staplehurst Mr. Henry Barghahn sr. died Monday afternoon of dropsy. Mr. Barghahn was a little past eighty years old. Obituary next week. Obituary from the "Journal" of Seward, Nebraska dated 12 Nov 1920: Henry Barghan [sic] Henry Barghan was the son of Johann J. Barghan and his wife Catharina Maria, nee Luebbert. He was born September 4, 1840, at Luettenmarck, Mecklenburg Schwerin, Germny. Life on the farms of that part of the country in those years was full of hardships, much hard labor being required with little wages given in return. Being industrious, of economical turn of mind, and making no demands upon the luxuries of life, these people, in general, appear to have been happy and contented. Yet many there were who, on account of the dense population, saw little or no prospect of success and no room for expansion, so they pulled their stakes and set out for the United States, which, at the time, cheerfully opened its gates and bid welcome to Europeans that were willing to work, till the productive soil, and help build up this great country. Henry Barghan was one of these, With his young wife, Catharine, nee Maack, whom he had married in 1867, and a baby daughter, called Louise, he set out and directed his course westward until he reached Clayton county, Iowa. There he sought to make a modest living working as a farm hand. Prospects seemed bright for this young and willing laborer in the hills of Clayton county, when suddenly a thick gloom settled over him - he became seriously ill, for a long time being confined to bed. That was a serious setback for a man who had no financial resources. But he had friends coming to his assistance in the hour of distress, friends whom he never forgot. When he had partly recovered he at once took up employment again this time with more success. In May, 1873, a number of friends decided to seek their fortune in Nebraska, so Henry Barghan prepared to join them. He settled in Seward county, two miles north of Marysville, where he remained until his death. His wife Catharina having died in April, 1874, he was married again in June of the following year, Dorathea Rehse this time being his choice. Of this second union three sons and five daughters wore born. Mr. Barghan was a successful farmer, acquiring a liberal share of wealth. Since settling in Nebraska he was a member of the Lutheran congregation at Marysville, this being the church of his confession. For a number of years he had suffered from a weak heart, this in conjunction with his old age causing his death. He died November 1, at the age of 80 years, 1 month and 27 days. His widow is still living though seriously ill and hardly expected to live. Recently as a result of a fall she broke her leg; she could not attend the funeral. The following children mourn the father's death: Mrs. Louise Klepper. Mrs. Henry Fehlhafer, Fred, Henry and John Barghan. All are married except John. Then also are ten grand children. Funeral services were conducted Friday at the Marysville Lutheran church, Rev. W. F. Rittamel officiating. Interment was at the Marysville cemetery. - - - - - - - - - We desire to express to all our friends our sincere gratitude for, and appreciation of, their kind services, assistance, and sympathies in the days of our distress and bereavement. May the Lord be your strength and comfort, especially in your sad hours as He has been with us. The Family. He married (1) Catherine Maak in 28 Apr 1867 in Hamwarde, Herzogtum Lauenburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. He married (2) Dorothea Margaretha Elisabeth Rehse 26 Jun 1875 in Seward County, Nebraska.
