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.]
