Theodore farmed on property in section 19, Military Township (highlighted in blue above), just south of the William Doerr farm. His father Ferdinand acquired the property from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on March 10, 1856. This is where he and Anna would raise their family.
The following story was written by Theordore and Anna’s grand-daughter, Bernadetta “Bonnie” Woodward:1
“Grandpa (Theordore Uhlenhake) died October 20, 1899. He had severe quincy. The doctors came to the house, lanced the neck glands, they burst on the inside and he choked to death.
Anna (Einck) Uhlenhake sold the 174 ½ acre farm for $230.00 per acre in 1920.”
[Quinsy is a medical term for a peritonsillar abscess. It’s an uncommon complication of tonsillitis that can happen when a throat abscess develops after infection spreads from the tonsils. If the abscess grows large enough, it can block the airways, causing breathing difficulties, so it’s important it’s treated early.]

Theo’s daughter, Sophia, is my great-grandmother. She married Anthony Heiman (who I knew as a little girl) and moved from Iowa to Warsaw, Indiana with Tony. Their daughter, Eloise, was my grandmother.
I never knew Sophia (or Eloise), she passed 8 years before I was born. We think she is so cute in the above photo and have a copy of it ourselves.
So sorry for the delay in responding. I was out of the country and failed to see your post. Anyway, I do find Anthony Heiman in my tree. Can you tell me Sophia and Eloise maiden names? I’d love to update my tree with your information and not sure which post you’re referring to. Thank you so much for sharing.
