I found Carl Uecker in Beadle County in 1900 and 1910. It appears he died
between 1910 and 1920. Minnie and Caroline are both listed as widows in 1920
and 1910. I believe the Carl Uecker in Clark County, SD bio. is probably the
same Carl Uecker in Beadle County. The wife's name and number of children are
similar to the Beadle County census information.
Carl Uecker Biography
This biography appears on page 1880 in "History of South
Dakota" by Doane Robinson, Vol. II (1904) and was scanned,
OCRed and edited by Maurice Krueger, .

organizations for their private use.
Any other use, including publication, storage in a retrieval
system, or transmission by electronic, mechanical, or other
means requires the written approval of the file's author.
CARL UECKER was born in Anklam, Germany, and was reared and
educated in the fatherland, where he learned in his youth the trade of
ship carpenter, to which he there continued to devote his attention
until he emigrated thence to America, believing that here were afforded
superior opportunities for the gaining of independence through personal
effort. In the following year he came to South Dakota and took up a
tract of government land in Clark county, where he turned his attention
to farming, this original homestead being a portion of his present
estate. He was not conversant with the language of the country, was not
experienced in agricultural pursuits and had to contend with the many
hardships and privations which ever fall to the lot of the pioneer, but
he pressed steadily forward, never flagging in courage and
determination, and in the course of time prosperity crowned his efforts
and he came into his just deserts. He was married to Carlina Nuske, who
was born in Greifsvalt, Germany, and they have five children.

Also found a Bertha Uecker married to a Harry KNOKE, had a child CARL KNOKE

also a Bertha Uecker and Fred Kleuber who had a daughter in McCook County SD in
1892 and a child in Minnehaha county, SD in 1895.
