Facts about this person:

Burial
Christ Lutheran Cemetery; Columbus, NE.
From THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA-

Louis Wilken makes his home upon a farm on section 9, Bismark township; where he has two hundred and eighty acres of land. This constitutes the old homestead property of the family and thereon he was born February 18, 1884. His parents were Herman and Anna Wilken, who were natives of Oldenburg, in the northern part of Germany. They came to the United States in l866 and following the outbreak of the Civil war. Herman Wilken responded to the call of his adopted country for aid and enlisted in Company G, One Hundred and Fifth Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He went to the front and did active service in defense of the Union until the cessation of hostilities. When the war was over he came to Nebraska and settled upon the place which is now the home of his son Louis. There he carried on general farming until his life's labors were ended in death in December 1889. In his passing the county mourned the loss of a worthy citizen.

Louis Wilken attended the district schools. He was only five years of age when his father died and when still quite young he assumed the management of the home farm for his mother. In all the intervening period to the present time he has diligently and carefully cultivated the place and has added many excellent improvements thereto. He has built a comfortable and attractive residence and a large barn and has also added other modern improvements. Aside from tilling the soil he raises shorthorn cattle and finds it a profitable source of income.

On the 4th of January, 1905, Mr. Wilken was united in marriage to Miss Freda Hilmer, a daughter of Christ and Vipeka Hilmer. She died October 11, 1907. and Mr. Wilken has since married again, his second union being with Miss Emma Krumland, a daughter of Gerhard Krumland. His second marriage, which was celebrated September 20, 1910, has been blessed with three children: Luella, Clarence Herman and Wilbert Louis.

The parents are members of the German Lutheran church and in his political views Mr. Wilken is a republican, having supported the party since age conferred upon him the right of franchise. He is interested in matters pertaining to public welfare and his cooperation can be counted upon to further measures for the general good, but his time and attention are largely demanded by his farming interests, and the excellent and well kept appearance of his place of two hundred and eighty acres indicates that he leads a busy and useful life.
