HAESELER, ALICE—Mrs. Alice Haeseler of Geneva passed away at the Fillmore County hospital in Geneva, July 31, 1970, aged 82 year, 11 months and 14 days.
Alice Burke Haeseler, the oldest daughter of John J. and Mary Keenan Burke, was born August 17, 1887, at Grafton, Neb. Shortly afterward the family moved to Geneva where Alice attended the Geneva public schools, graduating from high school in 1904.
She then began an outstanding career of teaching, first in Geneva, next in Hastings, and in Lincoln and finally in New York City. Meanwhile she continued her own education, receiving a B. S. Degree from the University of Nebraska and a Master’s Degree from Columbia University, New York.
During World War I, Alice left Nebraska for Washington D. C., where she made her contribution to the war effort by using her unique talents in teaching and rehabilitating World War I veterans. It was during this period she mad application and was accepted as an instructor in the New York City public schools, teaching here until her retirement.
In New York her work was largely in boys’ high schools in depressed areas of the city. There her special skills as a teacher and the appealing quality of her personal presence had a powerful impact on the lives of many “problem boys.” The fact that the majority of these boys became reliable citizens was extremely gratifying to Mrs. Haeseler.
She was married to Francis J. Haeseler of Philadelphia, Pa., in 1930. Frank being a newspaper man associated with the Long Island Star-Journal. He came to love Alice’s home town, adopting it as his own, and they spent many vacations in Geneva. Upon Frank’s death in 1963, he was brought to Geneva for burial, as he had requested.
Mrs. Haeseler subsequently moved to Geneva, where her two sisters, Miss Julia Burke and Mrs. John H. Koehler, live. She passed away July 31, 1970.
Throughout her life Alice Haeseler related to people of all types with great warmth and charm and her interest were exceedingly varied. Her fine influence on students, her family and friends can scarcely be reckoned.
The Burke family moved to Geneva when the father, J. J. Burke, was elected Fillmore county superintendent of schools. Later he was a member of the Sloan law firm many years. Mrs. Haeseler was pre-deceased by two brothers, James and Thomas, and three sisters, Frances Burke, Anna (Mrs. Clarence Kenney) and Katherine (Mrs. Edmond Rock.)
