Victor Leo Hoogensen was born on May 21, 1915, in Jackson Township in Shelby County, Iowa, to Hans and Sena (Behrens) Hoogensen. He attended Jackson No. 9 Country School and graduated early because he and his classmates took and passed the 8th grade tests at the end of their 7th grade year.

Victor continued to farm until he turned 62 when he retired and went to work for the Shelby County Soil Conservation Service where he did the no-till planting.

Victor and Dorothy were members of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Jacksonville. They were proud of the fact that they belonged to the church longer than any other couple because they were both baptized and confirmed there. Victor was active in the church, serving in many capacities including treasurer and deacon. He also served on many local boards including the Harlan Community School Board for ten and half years.

Victor and Dorothy enjoyed traveling together and spent fifteen winters in their mobile home in Apache Junction, Arizona. During their many travels, they visited every state except Alaska.

Victor enjoyed camping, playing and watching sports, playing many kinds of cards, and farming. He continued his harvesting skills even after he became a resident of Elm Crest Retirement Community, leaning over the fence to harvest his tomatoes!

Glendeen N. Wiig
(May 17, 1928 - November 5, 2009)

Glendeen Naomi Wiig, 81, of Bancroft, Nebraska passed away on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at the Pender Care Centre in Pender, Nebraska. Funeral services will be held on Sunday, November 8, at 2:30 p.m. at the Bancroft Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Charity Potter officiating. A visitation will be held on Saturday from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Munderloh Funeral Home in Bancroft with the family present from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Interment will be in the Bancroft Cemetery.

Glendeen was born on May 17, 1928 in Orosi, California to Earl Henry and Mabel Hope (Combs) Link. In her own words, Glendeen stated: “ In my first year my parents moved back to Grant City, MO so my parents could show me off to the relatives. In my youth we lived in Grant City, Mo, Winnetonca Heights, MO, and Phillipsburg, KS where I entered 6th Grade, progressing through high school graduation. The next four years were spent at Kansas State University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education. I moved to Norcatur, KS where I taught vocal and instrumental music for two years. My next move was to Beaver City, NE, where I taught vocal and instrumental music for one year. Here I met a handsome young banker, Hilmer Irving Wiig, the love of my life. We met in the fall and the next summer we married in the Christian Church in Phillipsburg, KS on June 14, (Flag Day) 1953. We moved to Bancroft, NE in July where we both had a job. Hilmer as Cashier and CEO of the First National Bank and I taught vocal and instrumental music in the Bancroft Public School. To this union Trudy Kay and Leslie Lynne were born. After teaching for one year, I retired to volunteer status within the community. I was a member of the Bancroft School Board for eleven years, was an Elder, Deacon and Choir Director for the First Presbyterian Church, started the Girls Softball program in Bancroft, worked as a volunteer for the Homestead Presbytery, Presbyterian Church, USA, and volunteered teaching chimes at Logan Valley Manor in Lyons, NE, and the Bancroft Senior Center. I praise God for sending us to Northeast Nebraska and Bancroft to live this good life among God’s caring people.”

Glendeen had many other varied interests which included watching her grandchildren grow up into young adults, Husker Football, garage sale-ing, fishing, camping, playing the trumpet, league bowling and spending time with dear friends. In her last years of life she was blessed to have two special caregivers, Sondra Bennett and Ruby Johnson, plus many volunteer drivers to take care of her and get her to dialysis. For these people she was truly grateful.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Hilmer, two sisters-in-law and two brothers-in-law.

She is survived by her children, Trudy Wiig of Dallas, TX, and Leslie Gatzemeyer and her husband Kurt of Bancroft, NE, a sister, Roma and her husband Dennis and their children and families, and a brother Jerry and his children and families, two sisters-in-law, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and her grandchildren, Kristen, Jace and Janae Gatzemeyer.
