Bio
Birth date per WWI Draft Registration was December 30, 1875. ~~~~~~~~~~ From The Palmer Journal, September 21, 1944, page 2, transcribed by Linda Berney: Henry, son of Jost and Anna Tschudy, was born in Green County, Wisconsin, December 30, 1876, and died September 16, 1944 from a heart attack which occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Darling. At the age of two years Henry came with his parents to North Bend, Nebraska. From there the family moved to West Point and subsequently resided for brief periods at Ewing and Grand Island, arriving in Merrick County Nebraska in 1888, where since that date the deceased has continuously resided. On March 22, 1900 Mr. Tschudy was married to Miss Pearl Semple and two daughters, Maude and Margaret were the fruit of this union. An unflagging industry was an outstanding characteristic in the life of Henry Tschudy. Hard work was his meat and drink and without it his days would have been restless and unhappy. He loved to till the soil and was engaged mainly in agricultural pursuits. From his father, who was an expert worker in woods, he acquired some skill in carpentry and occasionally lent himself to this form of service when it was badly needed. In his youth he had the misfortune to have an arm and shoulder badly mangled in a cornsheller, an injury from which he never fully recovered. Despite this handicap he carried on to the very day of his death, always kind, obliging and helpful. There are few long time residents of our community who cannot remember some helpful service rendered by the deceased. Henry had no bad habits whatever. He was entirely free from those vices which lay their clutches upon so many boys and men. In this he has set us an example well deserving of emulation. Assisting in the care of his mother, who for 28 years was a confirmed invalid, was doubtless a factor in disciplining his life to meet the many trials with which he was confronted. Quite unpretentious, upright in all of his dealings with others, he was moreover a good husband, a kind father and brother who always tried to keep alive the old home ties. Survivors are his wife, his daughters, Mrs. Chas. Goldsmith (sic, should be Goldfish) of Scotia and Mrs. Frank Able (sic, should be Abel) of North Loup; a sister, Mrs. Ernest Weller of Bayard, Nebraska; his brother John of Palmer; six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
