Helen J. Havel was born to Jaroslav and Anezka Hendrych on Oct. 16, 1921 on a farm northwest of Milligan and passed away Wednesday, June 4, 2014 at her home at the age of 92.
Helen attended public school at Milligan, graduating in 1938 with a Normal Training Certificate. She taught in rural schools for four years, one year with a special permit due to the shortage of teachers during WWII.
Helen married Donald Havel on Dec, 31, 1945 in Wilber, making their home in Milligan. They had one daughter, Norene Kay born April 21, 1955. Don passed away April 27, 2000.
The family moved to Exeter in 1958 and back to Milligan in 1986. Helen worked many different jobs in her lifetime in addition to teaching; in drug and grocery stores, at a produce station and as a nanny in Lincoln before and after marriage. While living in Exeter Helen worked at Barkmeier's part and full time for over 25 years. She concluded her "work life" at Heritage Crossings in Geneva from July 1993 to 2002 and retired at age 80.
Helen was a charter member of the Friend Hospital Auxiliary and 8/40 Bleu Valle Salon #766. She held Unit, County and District 11 offices in the American Legion Auxiliary of which she was a member for 68 years and a member of the W.B.L.A. for over 75 years. She was received into full membership of The Methodist Church Dec. 20, 1953. While living in Exeter she was active in the United Methodist Church, American Legion Auxiliary, and First Thursday Club.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years Don; parents; sister, Agnes Halama; brothers, Jerry Hendrych and Adoph Hendrych; son-in-law, William Fitzgerald; brothers-and-sisters-in-laws, nieces and nephews.

At the time of the 1930 census, 18 year old Jerry was listed as a laborer in the household of Fred Biba, and involved in road construction. The home was in District 21, Liberty Township, Fillmore County, Nebraska.
He also worked for Laun Implement and Repair and farmed northwest of Milligan.

After Libbie's death, he married Lillian ONDRACEK SHUTTS, and they lived in Friend, Nebraska. (Milligan, p 299).
This appears to be Jerry, as listed on the SSDI:
JERRY A HENDRYCH 19 Sep 1911 28 Oct 1991 (not specified) (none specified) 505-16-1214 Nebraska
This is most likely the listing of his second wife:

She was married first to a Birdwell, and was later the second wife of Joseph Fuller. They had two children together, and sadly Blanche died of tuberculosis some five years after her second marriage. Her stepsons, Price and Brooks, died of this as well. Her step-daughter, Ethel was also infected, and was confined to a tuberculosis santitarium in the Dallas area as a young woman. Ethel survived, however, living into her eighties.

Not listed in the Biography of Conrad Herbert published in "The History of Seneca County, Ohio" that was published in 1883. She is on the 1880 census, however, as a seven year old. Might her name actually be Barbara instead of Samantha? Or was she the "infant" listed as deceased in the biography.

Said to be the son of Hans Adam and Eva Catherina Herboldt.
Baden was a small principality on the river Rhine beside the Palatine; this area was later to become part of the heart of modern Germany. Hans Adam Herboldt is not recorded arriving in Philadelphia with his young family, which means that he may have died prior to the date of their emigration. No records have been found of him in the New World. The family was almost certainly Protestant.
1738-Nicholas arrived as a child in Philadelphia with his mother and young brothers aboard the British belinder (two-masted ship) the "Thistle." It should be noted that on disembarkation in the new world his age was thought to have been recorded in Philadelphia as "8" on the ship's captain's list. Later evidence suggests that this was probably a misreading by the transcriber of the numeral "3" in the perhaps poorly written original record held in the archives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is much more likely Nicholas was in fact three years old. (From "Harpole Cousins"). His family name was spelt both as Herbolt and Herbold by transcribers of the original ship's list. The family name was probably written either as Herboldt, Harpoldt or Harbold in the German script. It is also probable that the spelling had not been standardized in German written form by 1730. It would probably have been vocalised by native German speakers as Hairbolt (emphasis on hair) to the English speaking ear. It should be noted that in German "b" and "p" were used interchangeably both at the beginning and in the middle of words.
It is probably that the family stayed in the Philadelphia area. The assumed remarriage of Anna Herboldt ca 1740 and marriage of Nicholas ca 1754 should be researched at the local parishes. It is probable that Nicholas went to a German church school, and it is almost certain that he was fluent in English by the time he moved to Virginia.
It is noticeble that Nicholas does not appear to have been involved in the hostilities of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). If he had been a soldier in the Virginia Militia, he would have been. This suggests he did not arrive to Virginia until after 1763. Indeed, He was involved in a lawsuit that same year (Peter Steenberger vs. Nicholas Harbold--Defendant [living] on [the valley of the] South Branch [of the Potomoc], [and in this lawsuit it was indicated that he was] not [a resident] in this County [of Augusta, West Virginia as of February 1763]. However, according to the book A HISTORY OF PENDELTON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA (1910) by Oren Morton, Nicholas Harpole (age 28) moved to the frontier in what was then Augusta County, Virginia in 1763. {Augusta County, (West) Virginia Court Judgements}.
The following land transactions were also recorded: "Same to Nicholas Harpole, $15, 195 acres, on Mill Creek [This creek was a branch of the South Branch of the Potomoc River. It was an area later to be located in the jurisdiction of Hampshire County] as above, &c. [dated 24th May 1763] Delivered Nicholas Harpole, October, 1766 {Augusta Co Deed Book 11, pg 458}
"Nicholas Harplore (sic), Paul Shaver and Jacob Wees, to view road on North Mill Creek from the Upper Tract to the County line below Jacob Peterson [dated March 21, 1765]. {Augusta Co, (West) Virginia Court Records. Order Book IX , page 251}.
"[195 acres, on Mill Creek] Delivered Nicholas Harpole, October, 1766. {Augusta Co, (West) Virginia Deed Book 11, pg 458}.
In 1767 Processioners (an Episocopal Church position) appointed, viz; ... .... Nicholas Harpole and Martin Peterson on North Mill Creek... ... (Augusta Parish Vestry Book, page 429.)
1772-George Fult's (Foltz) will--To wife Catherine Barbara, .... etc. ....Teste: Adam Loff, Adam Harpole, Nicholas Oswedy. Proved, 16 March 1773 (written in the "German Tong" and translated by Anthony Ayler) by Adam Lock and Adam Harpole. Widow Catherine Barbara qualified with Nicholas Harpole, Adam Lock." (Chalkley, Lyman (1912) Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County 1745-1800 (Published in three volumes) Vol 1, page 173.)
1773--Nicholas Butcher's bond (with John Poage, Nicholas Harpole) as administrator of Valentine Mischoris Butcher [dated 16 March 1773]. (Augusta County, (West) Virginia Will Book No, V, pg. 47).
1773--Nicholas Harpole qualifies (to act as an) Ensign (on 17 August 1773). An ensign was a commisioned officer in the Augusta county Colonial Militia. The rank was between a second Lieutenant and Cornet. The entry in the Court minutes records him, in effect, taking the requiste oath of office to the Crown. (Chalkley, Vol 1, page 173).
1774--On petition of John Hopkins, Samuel Moral, Peter Vaminon, Michael Wolf, John Gordon, and Nicholas Harpole--to view a road from the widow Moses's to Gabriel Cock's (dated 18 May 1774). (Augusta County, (West) Virginia, Court Records. Order Book No. XV, page 471)
--[Adam Harpole] Volunteered [in Lord Dunmore's War] in August, 1774 under Capt. John Skidmore, Lieut Robert Davis and Ensign Nicholas Harpole (his father or uncle?) in Augusta County, Virginia; marched from there to Kanahay (Kanawah River, now in West Virginia) to a place called Point Pleasant where he met the Indians and had a battle [on 10 October] in which we were successful. We were about 1,500 [militia men]....we had about 80 killed and wounded. Thence to near the town of Chillicothe and peace being made with the Indians we were marched home....[Adam] served on this tour something more than three months....[Adam Harpole (?) Revolutionary War Application No. 4632 held at the National Archives] Presumably Nicholas Harpole served about the same length of time as his close relative, Adam Harpole, recounted that he had served. Nicholas' name has not yet been found on militia lists of this period.
1775--There is no record of Nicholas Harpole, now forty years old, serving in any rank as a Revolutionary War soldier between the years 1775 and 1783. [Gwathmey, John H. (1938) HISTORICAL REGISTER OF VIRGINIANS IN THE REVOLUTION---SOLDIERS, SAILORS, MARINES 1775-1783
This is in stark contrast to his son, Solomon's, maternal uncle-in-law, Nicholas Harper, also born in Germany; who lived locally and was the same age. Many German colonists were loyalists. Clearly, Nicholas Harper did not fit this category. Nicholas's son (or nephew) Adam was later refused a revolutionary war pension as he could not prove six months continuous service.
1776-Nicholas Harpole and Adam Lock, securities for Barbara Oldham, widow and administratix of George Fultz, but now wife of John Oldham, demand counter security [Augusta County, (West) Virginia, Court Records, Order Book No. XVI, page 101]
1782-Nicholas Warpole (sic) [made a successful claim for financial compensation, recorded at the Rockingham County Courthouse for two impressed bullocks, dated Monday 23rd September 1782. Mathias Dice, both spelled correctly and incorrectly and on the same list in another place totally incorrectly, is listed a number of times just below. Mathias' daughter, Anna Christina, was to marry Nicholas Harpole thirteen year old son, Solomon, nine years later and lived nearby. Also listed near Nicholas as claiments are the Harpers, Jacob and Philip; Anna Christina Dice's uncles. The DAR records that Nicholas Harpole had provided patriotic (as opposed to military) service in Virginia. Presumably this was the service so described. [Abercrombie, Janice L & Slatten, Richard (c. 1980) VIRGINIA PUBLICK CLAIMS, 3 Vols.---Vol 1 reference to Rockingham County Court Revolutionary War Public Service Claims Booklet dated 29 August 1782)
1786-A Nicholas Harpole paid tax in Hardy Co, (West) Virginia [Fotherfill, Augusta B. and Naugle, John Mark (1940) VIRGINIA TAX PAYERS 1782-87] The parent county of Hardy was Hampshire, in turn Hardy's parent count was Augusta. Could this have been a reference to a namesake son of Nicholas?
1794-Nicholas Harpole purchased 19 acres on Mill Creek in Pendelton Co, (West) Virginia in 1794 [Pendelton County, West Virginia, Deed Books Vol 1, page 115] Might this also have been a namesake son instead of 64 year old Nicholas?
