For anyone looking for info on the Beste Family of Nebraska, here is what I have. I am NOT related.

Heinrich Adolph Beste
b. 10 June 1835 Germany
d. 30 March 1889 Gosper County, Nebraska
buried: Salem East Cemetery, Gosper County, Nebraska

married: 29 Dec 1861 Germany

Caroline Sophie Luise Welge
b. 3 July 1835 Germany
d. 9 April 1919 Nebraska
buried: Elwood Cemetery, Elwood, Gosper County, Nebraska

Children of Heinrich & Caroline;

1) Marie Frederike Wilhelmina Beste
b. Sept 1864 Germany
d. 20 Sept 1936 Gosper County, Nebraska
buried: Elwood Cemetery, Elwood, Gosper County, Nebraska
married: Adam Weismann (1862-1931)

2) Frederick A. Beste
b. 6 Jan 1870 Germany
d. 1 May 1942 Nebraska
buried: Eustis City Cemetery, Eustis, Frontier County, Nebraska

3) Henry Beste
b. 4 March 1875 Germany
d. 24 Sept 1928 Nebraska
buried: Elwood Cemetery, Elwood, Gosper County, Nebraska

This family immigrated over to America sometime between late 1875 and 1878. It is possible that Heinrich & Caroline had additional children.

As far as my research has shown, sons Frederick & Henry never married or had children.
