The following website, mentions Otteles [Susie's father and uncle] as the first settlers of Raeville, NE: "The first Catholic settlers of Raeville were Nicholas Henn, Michael Ottele and Nicholas Ottele, Luxemburgers from near Dubuque, Iowa. They had intended to settle near Columbus, Nebraska, but being told that cheap and good homestead land was to be had three miles northeast of the Raeville postoffice, they located there. This Catholic settlement, too, became known as Raeville." Source: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/religion/catholic/Franciscans/pages/pt2/fine0021.htm
