Bernard H. Hageboeck. In the southern part of Deepwater township, southeast of 
the town of Montrose, is one of the finest and best improved country estates in 
all Missouri, owned and operated by Bernard Hageboeck, and consisting of 480 
acres, 400 acres of which is located in Henry County and eighty acres just over 
the line in St. Clair county. The Hageboeck land embraces a tract of the richest 
prairie soil, which has produced good crops from year to year as the seasons 
were propitious. However, Mr. Hageboeck has the faculty of adapting an ingrained 
knowledge of the science of agriculture to local conditions and he generally has 
good crops. Recently he has deeded 160 acres to his son, Frank. This year, 1918, 
Mr. Hageboeck has harvested sixty acres of wheat which yielded twenty bushels 
to the acre; forty acres of oats which gave a yield of thirty bushels to the acre; 
and has mowed sixty acres of meadow which yielded thirty tons of hay. This farm 
produces annually about 125 head of hogs, and Mr. Hageboeck keeps about twenty-
five horses and mules for the farm work. Bernard Hageboeck was born in Osage 
County, Missouri, February 6, 1855, and is the son of Frank and Elizabeth 
(Kemnar) Hageboeck, natives of Germany who emigrated to America when young. 
Frank Hageboeck was born in 1805 and died in 1885. Elizabeth (Kemnar) 
Hageboeck came to this country with her parents. Frank Hageboeck emigrated 
from his native land about 1830 and landed at New Orleans from a sailing vessel. 
From the southern city he made his way by boat to St. Louis and from there 
located in Osage County and lived his entire life in that county after coming to 
America. Bernard H. Hageboeck was reared to young manhood in Osage County, 
Missouri, and began for himself when twenty-four years of age. He tilled his 
father's land for ten years and in 1889 he inherited the home farm in that county. 
He sold this farm in 1891 and the following year came to Henry County and 
purchased his present place, beginning with 240 acres, to which he has been 
adding land until he now has 480 acres. Mr. Hageboeck has made many 
improvements on his land and is constantly improving and adding to its 
attractiveness and fertility. In 1879 the marriage of B. H. Hageboeck and Mary 
Brooms occurred. Mrs. Mary Hageboeck was born in Osage County, Missouri, the 
daughter of Herman Brooms, a native of Germany and early settler of Osage 
County. The children born of this marriage are: Frank, Joseph, Louis, Rosa, who 
died at the age of seventeen years, Mary, Elsie and Effie. Frank Hageboeck, the 
eldest son of the family, was born June 11, 1880, in Osage County. He is an 
independent Democrat, a member of the Catholic Church of Montrose and is 
affiliated with the Knights of Columbus of Montrose. Bernard H. Hageboeck is a 
Democrat but is inclined to an independence of thought and action in casting his 
vote. He is an intelligent and progressive citizen who has taken a prominent place 
among the best citizens of Henry County. He and the members of his family 
worship according to the Catholic faith and attend the Montrose Catholic Church.
