The year 1843 brought Thomas Hook to section 35 where in 1844 his son Stephen was born, the first child born in Oregon. Later in the same year came Stephen Hook, brother of Thomas, C. Sargeant, Abram Kierstead and C. P. Mosley to section 12; Horace Wautrous on section 1. C.P. Mosley's house, very near where the present watertower stands, apparently became the nucleus of not only Oregon hostlery, but of Oregon village as well.

OLD SOLDIERS WHO HAVE LIVED IN O'BRIEN COUNTY, IA
Compiled by Geo W. Schee and O.H. Montzheimer
1909, Primghar, IA
Prepared for the Internet by Don Harrington

The Book, "Old Soldiers Who Have lived in O'Brien County, Iowa" was published in 1909. Mr Montzheimer did most of the work and Mr Schee furnished most of the funds for publication, printing and postage. It appears that the book was not sold, but a copy was furnished free to each veteran's family. The information on these approximately 500 veterans provide much information on their families in addition to providing their military records. I wish to thank Colleen Boose for making a copy of the book available to me so that it could be placed on the O'Brien website.

To make a record of the death of young Sam F. Hengstler, the night telegraph operator here, which occurred shortly after nine o'clock, while attending to the regular duties of his office on that night. There were frequent and heavy flashes of electricity coming into the office, and once or twice had set papers on fire, and which he had succeeded in putting out, by the aid of Mr. Albert Hook of Oregon, who was in the depot, waiting for the 9 o'clock train, to go north. He once asked Mr. Hengstler if he had broken a lamp chimney, and was told that it was lightning that had exploded in his office. Soon more papers were on fire and Mr. Hook rushed in to extinguish these which he did by throwing them upon the floor and stamping the fire out. Sam (as he was familiarly called) stooped down with his hand resting upon the table, to remove some papers that were yet on fire in the little cupboard under his table. He had scarcely commenced to do so when another bolt came and knocked him senseless upon the floor. Mr. Hook kept calling to him, asking if he was hurt &c., and when he had got the fire out, took hold of him to raise him up but was astonished to find him yet insensible, and carried him out into the sitting room, where other persons were in waiting. Finding that something must be done, sent up town and Doctor Evans responded without any delay. The Dr. applied restoratives but noticing that his pulse was gone pronounced him dead. He was taken to the Central House, where he was properly laid out and placed in a refrigerator.
The bolt struck him in the region of the heart, passed diagonally across his bowels, down his right leg and passed off at three or four places in his shoe. His friends--a widowed mother, brothers and sisters--live at North Freedom, and to whom telegrams were sent, as well as to a brother, an operator at Sleepy Eye, Minn. A reply from the latter was received in fifteen minutes, stating that someone would be there by the first train. The 9:25 a.m. express brought a brother and brother-in-law from North Freedom and returend with the remains by the afternoon train. By request of the brothers, prayer was offered before the corpse was removed, by Rev. F. M. Washburn, of the F. W. Baptist church.
That it was sad, does not adequately express the feelings of his young associates here; they had learned to love him for his mental and moral worth. He was a German by birth; was 19 years of age, and had been night operator here four months. Agent Potter did all he could to inform the young man's friends, and in procuring the necessary means for refrigerating the body; likewise the same from day operator Frank Rowley. Other Thanks are expressed elsewhere.

Obituary -

Floyd Hook, 62, Dies in Seattle
Music Dealer Left City 10 Years Ago

Floyd B. Hook, 62, former Madison music dealer, died Dec. 29 in Seattle, Wash., after a brief illness with pneumonia.
Mr. Hook left Madison for the west coast about 10 years ago. Born in Oregon Apr. 7, 1880, he was in the music business at Baraboo several years before coming to Madison in September, 1912, to establish Hook Brothers Piano Co., which for many years occupied the corner store at State and W. Mifflin sts.
A civic leader and outdoor sports enthusiast, Mr. Hook in 1927 donated a piano and phonograph as grand prizes for the Dane county girl and boy doing the best agricultural club work. He was inspired to make the gift by talks of state and county club leaders before the Madison Rotary club, of which he was an early member. In the same year he was elected vice president of the Wisconsin Association of Music Merchants.
In Seattle he lived at the Lowell apartments, 8th and Spring sts.
Survivors are his widow and two brothers, Harley, formerly of Madison, and Carroll, Janesville.

The guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene C. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lindley. The dining room was prettily decorated with ferns and flowers, and was in charge of Miss Honor Stair. The table was decorated with white satin ribbon and ferns. Delicious refreshments were served by the Misses Hazel Hankinson and Ethelyn Smith; Misses Maud Gillies and Nettie Knudtson presided over the chocolate urn. A musical and literary program was a pleasant feature of the evening's entertainment. The married ladies were entertained at the Smith home on Wednesday afternoon.

Brooklyn Man Is
Killed In Collision


Harry Hook, 71, Brooklyn, was killed Tuesday night when his car collided with a semi-trailer truck 4 miles south of Oregon on Highway 14.
Mr. Hook was killed instantly, according to Dr. David C. Atwood, Dane county coroner. The truck had started to pass a car and house trailer when Mr. Hook's car rounded the curve just ahead of the truck, according to witnesses.
The car driven by Mr. Hook was demolished by the impact, which drove it partly under the trailer. It struck the trailer's rear wheels, shearing them partially off.
The truck, owned by the Brady T and S Truck Co., was driven by Eugene W. Von Bank, Ft. Dodge, Ia., who was uninjured. He was hauling several tons of lobster from Chicago to Minneapolis.
Mr. Hook was driving home, according to Robert Hickman and Emil Schmale, Dane county traffic officers, who investigated.
Mr. Hook is survived by his wife and two sons, Leslie, Brooklyn, and Ansel, Cambridge.
