HISTORY OF NEBRASKA.

ber of that year. Ile served on the school board for twelve years in Adams County. and has always taken an active interest in schools. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Hastings. Their marriage has been blessed by the birth of seven children: John M., Oscar R., Edwin H., Fannie Bell, Thomas, Charles and Clyde. Mr. Armstrong has seen the complete growth of Adams County, and has experienced three seasons of grasshopper raids. He is practically a self made man, having accumulated all his property by his own exertions. He is engaged quite exten- sively in stock raising.

W. G. Aylsworth is a proper representative of the energetic business men of the county, and he seems admirably suited to his present calling. He was born in Erie County, N. Y., in 1844, and is a son of Aaron and Julia (French) Aylsworth, the former of whom was an agriculturist throughout his long life of seventy-five years, his death occurring in 1883. His wife died three years later, having borne him nine children, two sons and seven daugh- ters, W. G. Aylsworth and his sister, Mrs. Bennett, being residents of Juniata. The former's youth was spent in learning the intricacies of farm labor, and until he was twenty years of age he was an at- tendant of the common schools, where he acquired a thorough knowledge of the English branches. In 1864 he enlisted in Company B, Ninety-eighth New York Infantry, but on account of the war being practically over, he was discharged on September 22 of that year, and returned to his former occupa- tion of following the plow in his native State, which received his attention until 1870, when he moved to Michigan and settled in Barry County, and was en- gaged in clerking in a store for three years. He then returned to his native State and farmed two years, at the end of which time he again returned to Michigan, which State was his home until 1884. During this time the occupation of merchan- dising received his attention at Nashville, but on March 30, of the above named year, he settled in Juniata, Neb. , and after residing for a few months on a farm of eighty acres south of the town, he re- moved to Juniata, and engaged in clerking in the store of D. H. Freeman, remaining in his employ

two years, renting out his farm. In 1886 he moved to Keith County, Neb., where he located a home- stead, and after proving up on it and making it his home for about a year, sold out. He was one of the early settlers of the county, and was thirty miles from any store or postoffice, and the township in which he settled was only occupied by three or four families. Upon his removal from there one year later every quarter section was occupied. The day after settling on his claim he started for Ogallala, thirty-five miles distant, and purchased $7 worth of lumber, with which to build his dugout, sleeping at night on the road, but was greatly annoyed by wolves that kept prowling around his wagon. The next night an old neighbor from Michigan, Conrad Pies- ter, settled on the claim across the road from his, and during the week seven more families arrived. Upon his return to Adams County he went to his farm and made one crop, but in October, 1888, sold his land and is now engaged in general merchandis- ing in the town. Besides his stock of goods he owns a large hotel and livery barn, which he rents. He was married in 1872 to Miss Hattie M. Burling- ham, a native of Michigan, and by her has four liv- ing children: Fannie, Helen, Clarance and Mary. Murray died in 1884 at the age of five years. Mr. Aylsworth and his wife are members of the Bap- tist Church, and socially he is a member of Lodge No. 28, K. of P., of Hastings.

Frank C. Babcock, D. D. S., was born at Galva, Ill., March 18, 1865, and is a son of Dr. Asa D. and Elizabeth (Mott) Babcock, the former of whom was born at Cortland, N. Y., in 1830, came to Illi- nois in 1855, and for five and twenty years was a prominent and successful physician at Galva, his death occurring at this place in 1880. His wife was born at Kalamazoo, Mich., in 1840, and is now a resident of Hastings. Frank C. Babcock is the second of three living children born to their union, and in his early youth secured a good education in the schools of Galva. In 1883 he began the study of dental surgery in the office of Dr. J. P. Huston, and in the fall of 1885, he entered the Dental De- partment of the University of Michigan, from which institution he graduated on June 30, 1887, and July 23, of the same year, came to Hastings, Neb.,

ADAMS COUNTY.

which place has since been his home. In the fol- lowing August he opened his dental office over the First National Bank, and here he is now actively en- gaged in practicing his profession, having already acquired a liberal and paying patronage by the ex- cellence of his work, his reasonable prices and his genial manner. He is a member of the State Den- tal Association and in his political views is a Re- publiean.

Calvin Ball has been a resident of Adams County, Neb., since March, 1873, and has proved a valuable acquisition to the farming interests of the commu- nity, for he is a man of energy, progressive spirit and clear perception, and is reliable beyond suspicion in all his business transactions. His property consists of 160 acres of fine farming land, and it is fairly improved with buildings of all kinds, an orchard, etc. He was born in Fulton County, Ind., Novem- ber 22, 1841, and from here enlisted in April, 1862, in the Union Army, becoming a member of the Twenty-sixth Indiana Infantry, and was a faithful servant of Uncle Sam until he received his discharge at the end of his term of service in April, 1865. He was a participant in many important engage- ments, among which may be mentioned Prairie Grove, Ark., siege and surrender of Vicksburg. He was captured near Morgan's Bend, Miss., on the Sterling plantation, and after being kept in captivity at Tyler, Tex., for about nine months, he was ex- changed and immediately rejoined his army at New Orleans, and a short time after took part in the eight days' fight at Mobile in front of Spanish Fort. Af- ter being discharged he returned to Indiana, and after clerking in a store for some time, bought an interest in the establishment and sold goods at Silver Lake for about four years. From that time until 1873 he followed farming, then came to Nebraska as above stated. He is a Republican in his political views, and in November, 1882, was elected township assessor, and served two terms. He was married in Indiana, October 18, 1866, to Miss Elizabeth Creager, a native of that State, and a daughter of Adam Creager, and by her has had a family of six children: Myrtie, wife of William Warden, by whom she has one child, Cyril Thomas, married and resides at Juniata; Charles E., Clarence C., Ettie May and

Naomi W. Mr. and Mrs. Ball are members of the United Brethren Church, and he is a member of Geary Post No. 81, G. A. R., at Juniata. His parents, C. M. and Nancy (Woolf) Ball, were born in Tennessee and Indiana , respectively, and were inar ried in the latter State, the father having been taken there by his parents when a child. After their mar- riage they resided in Indiana a number of years, and in 1872 Mr. Ball moved to Illinois, thence to Nebraska in 1877, the father being now a resident of Garfield County. His wife dfed about 1854. Mr. Ball served one year as postmaster at Oswego, Ind., in 1878, resigning on account of moving from that place.

David L. Barlass, the popular sheriff of Adams County, Neb. , although born in Rock County, Wis., September 10, 1854, has been a resident of Adams County, Neb., since 1874. His parents, Andrew and Margaret (Clink) Barlass, were born in Scot- land in 1822 and 1824, respectively, and in 1840 left their native land to seek a home in the New World. They settled in Rock County, Wis., on what is known as Rock Prairie, being among its first settlers, and there opened up a large farm. On this farm David L. Barlass was reared, and in addition to assisting his father in tilling the land on which they had settled, he attended the common school, near his home, and, being persevering and intelligent, he acquired a good education. This he supplemented by a two years' course at Milton Col- lege, in Milton, Wis., then in 1874, as above stated, came to Nebraska, and the first nine years of his residence here were spent in following the plow on a farm three miles south of Hastings. Being a Re- publican politically and a strict party man, he was elected on that ticket, in the fall of 1883, to the office of sheriff, with a majority of 555; was re- elected two years later with a majority of 800, and in 1877 was again honored with the position, his majority this time being more than 1,000. This shows beyond question his popularity as an official, and he has proven himself to be a competent, faitli- ful and fearless officer. Socially he is a member of Hastings Lodge No. 28, of the K. of P. Ilis mar- riage with Miss Ella M. Hill was celebrated Sep- tember 2, 1884. She was born in Illinois, and

B. F. Barr, lumber dealer, Prosser, Neb. The business interests of this town are ably represented by Mr. Barr, who not only represents the city in that capacity, but who is also recognized as a pleas- ant, genial gentleman. He owes his nativity to Logan County, Ill., and was born there on Septem- ber 4, 1859. Ilis father, George Barr, is a native of the Buckeye State, and in about 1852 emigrated to Logan County, Ill., where he married Miss Maria Jackson, also a native of Ohio, but who had emigrated with her parents some time previous to Illinois. Of the three children born to their mar- riage, B. F. Barr is the eldest. He passed his boy- hood days in Illinois, received a good education, and in January, 1880, he came to Nebraska, where for two years he was engaged in farming near Hast- ings. He subsequently went to Oregon, spent some time traveling through that and other Western States, but finally returned to Bloomington, Neb., where he accepted a position with the White Lake Lumber Company. From there he went to Hastings, Neb., engaged with the Paine Lumber Company, and in April, 1885, he accepted the position of general manager and superintendent of their lumber and coal yards at Hansen, Neb. On July 1, 1889, he opened his present business at Prosser, Neb., and is the pioneer lumber dealer of the place. On No- vember 26, 1883, he married Miss Eva C. Richards, a native of Wisconsin, who, when a child, went to Dakota with her parents, and later to Nebraska. To this union have been born two children: Mabel C. and Grant. Mr. Barr is a member of the Masonic fraternity, a member of the I. O. O. F., and also of the order of Heptasops or Seven Wise Men. Mrs. Barr is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and both are much esteemed citizens.

Herman Bentert, farmer and stock raiser, Hast- ings, Neb. Of that sturdy and independent class, the farmers of Nebraska, none are possessed of more genuine merit and a stronger character than he whose name s ands at the head of this sketch. Mr. Bentert was born in Sheboygan County, Wis., in 1859, and was the youngest of two children born to the union of Frederick and Dora T. (Kibbos) Bentert, natives

of Germany. The father was married in his native country in 1834, emigrated to America in 1857, and at once began working on a farm in Sheboygan County, Wis., receiving fifty cents a day for his ·labor. Finally he purchased eighty aeres of land, improved it, and in 1874 came to Nebraska, where he purchased 160 acres. Since then he has added to his original tract, and is now the owner of 400 acres, and is also the owner of considerable property in Hastings. He is still living and makes his home with his son, Herman. The mother died in Wiscon- sin in 1860. IIerman Bentert's early life was divided between assisting on the farm and in receiving an education in the common schools of Wisconsin and Nebraska. He came to Nebraska at the age of fif- teen years, and being the only one of the children now living, is directly connected with his father in business. They came to Nebraska with only $2,500 and now, by their industry and good business abil- ity, own property to the value of $25,000. They are engaged extensively in stock raising, feeding from fifty to one hundred cattle and hogs yearly. Herman Bentert takes an active interest in politics and his vote is cast with the Democratic party. As treasurer of Highland Township (having been elected to that position in 1888, and re-elected in 1889) he is a man who has the perfect confidence and respect of the people. He is progressive in his views and has borne a prominent part in promoting the various interests of the county. He is the tallest man in Adams County, if not in the State, measuring six feet, eight inches in height, and is one of the best known men in the county. He aids all public enter- prises of a laudable nature, and is Lutheran in his religious belief.

F. M. Betteys, county superintendent of schools, Hastings, Neb. To undertake to introduce to our readers the subject of this sketeh would be some- thing entirely unnecessary, for his extensive ac- quaintance and long connection with the affairs of the vicinity, have rendered him well and popularly known. Born in La Porte County, Ind., April 29, 1844, he was the son of Alonzo and Julia (Lykins) Betteys. The father was born in New York in 1809, and is now a resident of Boone, Neb. The mother was born in Kentucky, and died in 1871. In July,

1863, F. M. enlisted in Company B. Twelfth Missouri Cavalry. He served until June, 1865, after which he returned to Iowa and taught school in that State until 1884. He then came to Hastings, Neb., and spent five years in the county clerk's office as deputy county clerk. In polities he is a Republican, and in 1889 he was elected superintendent of the public schools of the county. Mr. Betteys selected for his companion in life Miss Virginia J. Wade, a native of Will County, Ill., born in 1850, and was united in marriage to her in 1874. The fruits of this union have been four children: Eugene, Mamie, Edward and Winnie.

Ilarm J. Bierman, farmer and stock raiser, Hastings, Neh. In his farming operations in this country Mr. Bierman has pursued the sturdy, in- dustrious and enterprising principles which charae- terize the customs of those of foreign birth now re- siding in Adams County, Neb. He was born in Germany in 1840, and was the fourth child in order of birth. His father, John Bierman, was born in Germany in 1804; was a farmer by occupation, and remained in his native country until 1863, when he crossed the ocean to the United States, and set- tled in Woodfor 1 County, Ill. Here he followed farming, and was very successful in this occupation. Ile died in Illinois in 1875. His wife, Miss Johanna Severs, who bore him six children, died in 1867. Both were members of the Lutheran Church, and he in his political views was Independent, vot- ing for principle not for party. Their children were named as follows: Henrietta, Francis, Harm, de- ceased, and Harm who is living and is the subject of this sketch; Peterke (living), and John (deceased). In early life Harm J. Bierman assisted his father on the farm, and at the age of sixteen years went on the sea, which he followed for some time. He then went to Illinois, settled in Woodford, near Minonk, and there followed agricultural pursuits for twelve years. He was married in 1867 to Miss Katie Flyr, who was born in Germany and who moved to Illi- nois with her father, William Flyr, when but two years of age. The father died in Illinois in 1883. To the marriage of Mr. Bierman were born nine children, eight now living: Albert (deceased), Henry, Christina, now Mrs. Knapp, and resides in

Hastings, Johanna, John, Harry, Albert, Herman and Theodore. Mrs.' Bierman moved to Adams County, Neb., in 1876, settled on the prairie where he now lives; bought 320 acres of good land, and this he has improved very much. Ile and his wife are members of the Lutheran Church, and are much respected citizens. He was road supervisor of the township for one year, and he takes a deep interest in school and church matters. Ile is a wide-awake, industrious farmer, as may be seen by the improve- ments made on his farm. He is a Republican in polities.

Luther A. Boley, Kenesaw. Neb. Since his res- idence in the county, Mr. Boley has been very prom- inently identified with the material affairs of this community, indeed far more so than the average of men. He was born in Huron County, Ohio, Sep- tember 29, 1839, and received his education in the high schools, supplementing the same by attending the seminary at Auburn. In 1859 he began teaching in the public schools of Indiana, and followed that oeeupation for four years. He then worked for the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Company as section foreman, and eight years later turned his attention to farming, which he followed until 1874. when he came to Nebraska, locating on a homestead near Kenesaw. There he remained eleven years and then accepted a position as manager of the Burling- ton & Missouri River Railroad Company's coal busi- ness at Kenesaw, which he still continues to hold. In 1876 he was elected assessor for Kenesaw pro- cinet and served six years; was a member of the town council for two years, and is a member of Ken- esaw Lodge No. 144, A. F. & A. M. He selected as his companion in life, Miss Kate J. Hodges, a native of Huron County, Ohio, and their marriage was solemnized in 1862. To this union have been born three children: Edith Camilla, now Mrs. Harry Mitchell, resides at Cheyenne; Walter F., and Madge A. Mrs. Boley is a church worker and takes a deep interest in all charitable enterprises. Mr. Boley's parents, Martin and Sarah Ann (Hodges) Boley, were natives of New York, and came to Ohio about 1835. When the subject of this sketch was an infant only a few weeks okl they moved to Kent County, Ontario, where they remained four years,

and then returned to Ohio, residing on the original farm for four years. In 1847 they moved to Indi- ana, locating in De Kalb County, where they were pioneer settlers, and where they both passed their last days, the father dying in the fall of 1859, and the mother in 1874. The former was one of the original Abolitionists.

Harry Brooks Borley, drayage and transfer, Hastings, Neb. This successful and enterprising business man was born in the County of Suffolk, Eng- land, on June 3, 1854, and is the son of John and Sarah (Brooks) Borley, natives also of England. The union of the parents was blessed by the birth of six children, three now living, and Harry Brooks Borley is the fourth child in order of birth. The latter at- tained his growth in London, England, attended the schools of the same, and for two years prior to com- ing to the United States, was engaged in the book and newspaper business for W. H. Smith & Sons in London. He emigrated to the United States in 1873, located in Hastings, and in 1874 bought eighty acres of railroad land, the south half of the southeast quarter of Section 35, Township 7, Range 10, which he still owns and has greatly improved. . For six years he was a clerk in what was then the St. Joe & Denver Railroad, but what is now the St. Joe & Grand Island. In 1880 Mr. Borley began the drayage and transfer business in this city, and this he still continues. He was married on December 31, 1884, to Miss Henrietta Wallace, daughter of Martin F. and Nellie Wallace. Mrs. Borley was born in Indiana in 1865, and came to Adams County, Neb., with her parents in 1873. To this marriage have been born two children, Harry W., whose birth occurred on February 27, 1886, and William E., who was born on December 23, 1887. In politics Mr. Borley is a Republican, and in 1879 he joined the Masonic Fraternity, Hastings Lodge No. 50. He is one of the early settlers of Adams County, and is practically a self-made man, having accumulated the most of his property by his own efforts.

Isaac Boyd is a wealthy tiller of the soil of Adams County, Neb., and comes of an excellent stock, his ancestors having been prominent and in- fluential citizens of the different localities in which

they resided. Born in Seneca County, Ohio, on August 28, 1843, he learned the intricacies of farm labor from his father, and this, in connection with stock raising, has continued to be his calling ever since. John Boyd, his father, was born in Penn- sylvania, but was reared in the Buckeye State, and was married in Seneca County to Elizabeth Eckley, a native of Ohio, and after farming there for a period of twenty years, and becoming well known throughout that region as an honorable, upright and worthy man, he passed to his long home in August, 1856, deeply mourned not only by his immediate and sorrowing household, but by all who knew him. Soon after his death his wife and family moved to Stark County, Ill., and here the mother made her home for some twenty years, but is now residing with her son Isaac. The latter grew to mature years in the State of Illinois, but in 1871 went to Guthrie County, Iowa, where he was engaged in following the plow for about two years, and taught school one year, having received a good education in his youth, being an attendant of Knox College, Ill. , for about two years, and a college at Hayesville, Ohio, one year. He was married in Guthrie County, Iowa, December 25, 1872, to Mary E. Mizen, a native of Wisconsin, reared and educated in Dean County, and a daughter of George Mizen; and shortly after their marriage they removed to Ne- braska, and in March, 1876, arrived in Adams County, and settled on the farm where they now re- side. He now has land to the amount of 240 acres, all in a good state of cultivation, on which are good buildings, orchards, etc. He is a Republican in politics, and has served two successive terms as assessor, and has been a delegate to county and State conventions. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and are the parents of five children: Laura, Lena, Maud, Frank and Effie. Two children died in infancy.

Robert M. Boyd is accounted a prosperous farmer and stockman of Adams County, and like the ma- jority of native Ohioans is progressive in his views and of an energetic temperament. His birth occurred in Seneca County, March 1, 1844, and he is a son of John and Elizabeth (Eckley) Boyd, also natives of that State, and prosperous agriculturists. The

ADAMS COUNTY.

father's death took place in his native State, August 13, 1857, and soon after his family removed to Stark County, Ill., where they made their home for many years. R. M. Boyd grew to manhood in this county, but after attaining his majority he began farming for himself, and in 1874 came to Nebraska, having come here in 1872 and homesteaded some land. Nearly all the county was prairie land at that time and there were very few houses, and these were nearly all sod houses, and the connty seat was then at Ju- niata. Mr. Boyd built a good frame house, which at that time was among the best in the township, and set energetically to work to put his land in tillable condition, which he succeeded in doing in a short time. He has since purchased 160 acres of land ad- joining his home place, and his farm now comprises a traet of 320 acres, all in a good state of enltiva- tion, ninety-five being devoted to corn, twenty acres to millet and sugar cane, and eighty acres to small grain. He has been feeding cattle and hogs for the market for the past ten years, and ships on an aver- age of one ear load each year. He has two thorough- bred Hereford animals for breeding purposes, also some good graded stock. He has a peach orchard of about 300 trees, and an apple orchard of about three acres, the yield from the latter being some 300 bushels in 1889. In May, 1862, he enlisted in the Union Army, Sixty-ninth Illinois Infantry, and served four months, at the expiration of which time he was doing guard duty in Chicago. He is a Republican and has served as a delegate to county and State conventions, but has never had any desire for office. His union to Miss Eliza E. Addis was celebrated in Stark County, Ill., Februray 3, 1874, a danghter of Daniel Addis, a native of New Jersey. She was born in Fulton County, Ill., but from the time she was twelve years of age until she reached woman- hood was a resident of Stark County. Her union with Mr. Boyd resulted in the birth of four chil- dren: Frances V., Frederick, and a son and daughter who died in infancy.

Nathan L. Brass is a prominent citizen of Juni- ata, Neb., and throughout life has followed the teaching of the Golden Rule to the best of his abil- ity, and as a result has gained the respect and esteem of all who know him. A native of Michigan,

born in 1843, he is the fifth child born to Samuel Brass, who removed from Rochester, N. Y., to Clinton County, Mich., of which he was one of the pioneer settlers. After the death of his first wife the father married Margaret Doty at Ann Arbor, and by her became the father of Nathan L. He was a farmer and boot and shoe maker by occupation, and died in March, 1864, his wife's death occurring in 1858. After being engaged in farm labor and attending the district schools until he was eighteen years of age, he enlisted in Company D, First Mich- igan Cavalry, and was sent to Maryland, but his company was soon detached from the regiment and assigned to scouting duty after Mosby's buslı- whackers, serving in this capacity until nearly the close of the war, when he was injured and trans- ferred to the Eighth United States Regiment, and with his company was detailed to guard prisoners that were being tried for the murder of President Lincoln. Before his duties were ended he became thoroughly familiar with Mrs. Mary Surratt, Dr. S. A. Mudd, L. P. Payne, D. E. Herrold and others, and so vigilant was he in the discharge of his duties that for thirty days he had not time to remove his clothes. His regiment led the funeral procession through the city to the train. ' He received his dis- charge November 16, 1865, and was mustered out at Washington, D. C. Upon his return to Miehi- gan he resumed farming, but a few months later was taken ill, the result of an injury received in the service, and for two years was incapacitated for work. After recovering he engaged in butchering, but in 1869 gave up this work and removed to Wisconsin, where he resnmed agricultural pursuits, but upon his health again failing him at the end of about a year, he came to Nebraska and settled near Juniata, where he homesteaded 160 acres of land, imme- diately erecting a dwelling thereon with lumber that he hauled from Sutton. His house was the fifthi frame house erected in the township, and Juniata then consisted of only four houses. Many interest- ing anecdotes are told by Mr. Brass concerning some of his early hunting experiences, but want of space forbids their repetition. He resided on his farm near the town until 1880, making many very valuable improvements, then moved to Juniata and
