Reuben Elbert Mather .- The Mather stock farm located in section 20, Illinois township, is widely known for the fine live stock, which is produced thereon.

He also spec- ializes in Angora goats. Mr. Mather takes great pride in his fine live stock, and has exhibited the product of his skill very frequently with suc- cess at the county fairs and stock exhibits.

the family and subject of this review; Mrs. Alice Miller, widow living at Centralia, Kans .; James I., a farmer of Illinois township; Minerva, de- ceased. Edward Mather, the father, was born in New York, August II, 1848, and came to Illinois with his parents when a boy. When the Civil war broke out, he enlisted in 1862 as a member of a company forming part of an Illinois regiment of volunteers, and fought at the battles of Shiloh and Vicksburg. Much of his service was devoted to scout and outpost duty, and he served until the close of the war. He was well- to-do and a son of wealthy parents, which enabled him to make a trip to Kansas in 1869, and invest in an entire section of land. He removed his family to this tract in Illinois. township, Nemaha county, in 1887, at which time he bought more land and accumulated a total of 1,280 acres, which he has since divided among his children. His main object in in- vesting in such a large tract of land was to provide homes and farms for his children, as they grew up and started out in life for themselves. Dur- ing his second trip to Kansas, he made a stay of some years, and im- proved his home farm with substantial buildings and fencing and placed the land in cultivation. Two years after his second trip here, his first wife died, and he returned to Illinois for a time, but came again for a permanent stay and engaged in the grain and lumber business at Cen- tralia. Five years later he was married to Cordelia Royce, a native of New York. Mr. and Mrs. Mather now reside at Centralia.
Reuben Elbert Mather was educated in the Centralia schools, and also attended Baldwin University. He has always been a farmer, and was reared to the life of a farmer. Mr. Mather is owner of 320 acres of land, which is considered to be one of the best improved stock farms in Nemaha county. He is a believer in the advantages of having live stock of the purest strains on his farm, and is convinced that it does not pay to keep inferior breeds of cattle or horses on the place. Mr. Mather prides himself rightly on his fine live stock, and has become a specialist in breeding Aberdeen Angus cattle and Duroc Jersey swine, which have been exhibited with success at the county fairs and stock shows. As a diversion he breeds Angora goats.
Mr. Mather was married, in 1891, to Miss Estella Hailey, who has borne him six children, as follows: George E., a farmer living near York, Neb .; Ray A., a resident of Idaho; Ruth E., at home with her par- ents and who is a graduate of the Centralia High School, and has been a teacher in the public schools ; Nettie, died in infancy ; May M., and Clara W., at home. Mrs. Estella Mather was born in Henry county, Illinois, May 3, 1871, and is a daughter of William and Lucretia (Barnes) Hailey, natives of Illinois, who made a settlement in Nemaha county in 1887. Mrs. Mather is a graduate of the Centralia schools, and taught in the public schools for three terms.
Mr. Mather is a Democrat politically, and has filled the post of clerk of Illinois township. He is a member of the Congregational church, and takes a decided interest in religious and Sunday school work, being at

William H. Briggs, farmer and stockman, and owner of 120 acres in Gilman township, was born in Vermilion county, Illinois, February 15, 1860, and is a son of Isaac and Sarah I. (Courtney) Briggs.
Isaac Briggs, his father, was born in West Virginia, in 1832, and in 1853 migrated to Illinois; worked as farm hand for a time, rented land, and in 1872 bought an eighty-acre farm where he resided until his im- migration to Kansas in 1880. He bought a half section of land in section 20, Gilman township. Nemaha county, farmed it until 1888, then rented his land and moved to Seneca for one year, returning to the farm in 1889 for another four years, after which he engaged in the lumber bus- iness at Oneida, a business which he followed until his demise in 1898. Sarah I, wife of Isaac Briggs, was born in Ohio, September 8, 1836, and her marriage with Mr. Briggs occurred in August. 1855. Nine children were born of this marriage, namely : Jennie,, deceased : William H., sub- ject of this review ; John, in the lumber business in Summerfield, Kans., has seven children; Mrs. Cora Gilmore, on a farm near Oneida : James, lumberman at Emporia, Kans. ; Harry, lumberman at Bunker Hill, Kans. ; Mrs. Dora Hanson, Sabetha, Kans .; Mary and Charles, dead ; Cora, has three children ; James, has three; Harry, seven, and Dora is the mother of one child. Mrs. Isaac Briggs was a genuine old-fashioned mother, who in her younger days operated a spinning wheel and wove all the homespun which she used in making the clothing of her children. She died April 5. 1916.
After the Briggs family located in Kansas, William H. assisted his father for one year and then rented fifty acres from his father on shares and lived at home for five years, and was then enabled to buy eighty acres from his father. . He lived on the home place for another five years, and in 1888 he built a four-room cottage for himself and a barn, 28x24 feet in size, together with a granary and buggy shed, and lived on his own land for six years. In 1894 he rented out his land and bought his present farm of 120 acres. One year later he sold his eighty-acre tract, and in 1898 he erected a comfortable seven- room farm dwelling, and has a frame barn, 36x40 fcet. erected in 1907. Mr. Briggs keeps about twenty head of cattle, six horses, and seventy- five head of hogs and feeds all of his grain to live stock on his place, often buying feed for his stock. For the past twenty years Mr. Briggs has sold no grain from his farm and consequently his acreage is kept up to a high standard of fertility.
William H. Briggs was married to Alice Meisenheimer, February 15, 1888, and this marriage has resulted in the birth of three children, as follows: Mrs. Erma Benedict, on a farm near Oneida, mother of two children, Mildred G. and Donna ; Mrs. Edna Butz, on a farm in Rock Creek township, has one child, Ione; Alfred, student at Baker Univer-

She departed this life in 1910. The second marriage of William H. Briggs occurred August 6, 1914, with Zannah Todd, born December 23, 1863, in Ohio, and a daughter of William and Rosa Todd.
