ADAMS COUNTY.

leyan University at Delaware, and upon leaving this institution was engaged in teaching the " young idea " for some time. In 1882 he began his medical studies in the office of Dr. L. A. Merriam, and later attended lectures in the Ohio Medical College, at Cincinnati, and graduated therefrom in the month of March, 1886. After practicing in his native State for one year he came to Nebraska, in October, 1887, and first settled in St. Paul, Howard County, but in June, 1889, was appointed to his present position by Gov. Thayer, and came to Hastings. He has met with the best success in the practice of his chosen calling, and is well fitted to successfully discharge the duties of the position which he is now filling. He has always supported the principles of the Re- publican party, and socially is a member of the K. of P., in which he is Past Chancellor, and in the month of October, 1889, he represented his lodge in the Grand Lodge of the State.

Walter Theesen, farmer and stockman, Glen- ville, Neb. Among those prominently identified with the farming and stock-raising interests of Adams County stands the name of Mr. Theesen, who was born in Germany in 1854, and is the elder of two children, the result of the union of Jacob and Lena (Deaken) Theesen, both natives of Germany. The father was a successful agriculturalist, and followed this occupation during his younger days. He died in his native country in 1860. The two children born to his union were named as follows: Walter and Charley. After his death the mother was mar- ried in the old country to Dirk Geerdes, and in 1864 emigrated to the United States, settled in Lee County, Ill., and here Mr. Geerdes followed farm- ing. They became the parents of one child, John. The mother died in 1889 in Nebraska, whither she had moved in 1874. Walter Theesen began life for himself in about 1877, although he had emigrated to Nebraska in 1873 or 1874, and had purchased railroad land in 1872. He was married in 1878 to Miss Maggie Snep, daughter of Henry Snep, a native of Germany, who came to the United States in 1865. Mr. Theesen has 400 acres of land, all well improved, and is one of the wide-awake, ener- getic farmers of the county. He was elected super- visor in 1887, and has been a member of the school

board in Distriet 71 for five or six years. He is in- terested in the building np of schools, and all else for the good of the county. In politics he affiliates with the Democratic party. He was in the county when the towns were organized. His brother Charley is located in Clay County, and his half brother Jolin, who is young yet, resides in Hanover Township, Adams County.

Abel Spaulding Thompson, postmaster and phar- macist at Holstein, Neb., was born in Delaware County, of the "Buckeye State," March 25, 1832, and is a son of Matthew and Martha (Spaulding) Thompson, the former of whom was born in Cum- berland County, Pa., a descendant of those sturdy Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who settled in the fertile valley of the Cumberland near Carlisle, Pa., about

the year 1794. Martha Spaulding was born in the " Green Mountain State," a daughter of Abel Spaulding, who served from that State in the Revo- lutionary War, and also in the War of 1812, after- ward settling in Delaware County, Ohio, during the very early history of that State. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson lived to a good old age, and reared a family of seven sons and two daughters to honor- able manhood and womanhood, five of the sons serv- ing in the Civil War. Abel S. Thompson, the im- mediate subject of this sketch, grew to manhood in his native State, and in early life learned the busi- ness in which his father was engaged, that of coop- erage, but upon the opening of the war he volun- teered his services in defense of the old flag, and enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and Twenty- third Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and followed the for- tunes of that command through all the vicissitudes and hardships incident to army life until the close of the war. Upon his return home he resumed liis former occupation, continuing until 1866, when he spent about six and a half years equally between Illinois and Iowa, after which he came to Nebraska and entered a homestead in Kenesaw Township, which he tilled for six years, leaving it to engage in the drug business at Kenesaw, serving Uncle Sam honorably for seven years as postmaster. He re- mained here until the spring of 1889, then came to Holstein, and is engaged in business, as above stated, also serving as postmaster here. He was

married in Wyandot County, Ohio (where he had grown to manhood), to Miss Maria James, a native of that county and a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Miller) James, natives of Pennsylvania, and early settlers of Wyandot County. Mr. and Mrs. Thomp- son have three daughters: Luella A. (wife of Mar- tin Depriest, of Ogalalla, Neb.), Sylvia E. (wife of Eben L. Dutton, of Cottonwood Township), and Marie Antoinette (wife of Frank H. Cole, a builder by occupation). Mr. Thompson and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he is a member of Mathias Post No. 155 of the G. A. R., and belongs to the Blue Lodge in the Masonic fraternity.

J. W. Thornton, farmer and stock raiser, Hast- ings, Neb. Adams County is indeed fortunate in having among her foreign-born element men whose industry, strict attention to business, economy and perseverance have produced such substantial results in the different affairs with which they have con- nected themselves. Mr. Thornton belongs to this class, for, originally from England, his location in this county dates from 1884. He was born in 1842, near Lancaster, in Westmoreland, of the union of John and Margaret (Braithwaite) Thornton, the other children besides himself being James, Fannie, Thomas, Alice, Ann (deceased), Robert (deceased), Richard (deceased), and two who died in infancy. The father followed overseeing in the mills of Eng- land, and was quite successful in this occupation. He and wife were both members of the Episcopal Church. They moved to the United States in 1856, settled in Buffalo, N. Y., and there remained until 1859, when they moved to Illinois, settling in Grundy County, where the father died in July, 1870. He was a Republican in politics and a public spirited man. The mother is still living and makes her home with a daughter in Michigan. J. W. Thorn- ton was about eleven years of age when he came to this country with his parents. In 1866 he started out for himself as an agriculturist, and has followed this ever since. He was married, in 1870, to Miss Henrietta J. Walker, daughter of Robert Walker, who was one of the early settlers of La Salle County, Ill., and one of the first judges of election in Grundy County. He died in 1855. Mr. Thornton

settled on a farm five miles west of Morris, Ill., where he was very successful in agricultural pur- suits, but in 1884 he concluded to try his luck in Nebraska. He located first in West Blue Town- ship, but in 1886 he came to Blaine Township, pur- chased 160 acres of land, and here he has since resided, perfectly satisfied with the State. He also owns 160 acres in Verona Township. He is a Re- publican in politics, was elected treasurer of the town in 1886, and has held this position for two years. He is interested in all things for the good of the county, and is universally respected. He and wife are members of the Baptist Church. While in Grundy County, Ill., Mr. Thornton was town clerk, also school trustee for four years in his township.

P. H. Thrasher, farmer and stock raiser, Hast- ings, Neb. What is usually termed genius has little to do with the success of men in general. Keen perception, sound judgment, and a determined will, supported by persevering and continuous effort, are essential elements to success in any calling. Mr. P. H. Thrasher was born in Monroe County, N. Y., on September 8, 1831, and was the youngest of a fam- ily of twelve children, the result of the union of John and Roxana (Holdridge) Thrasher, natives of Connecticut. The parents were married in their native State, moved from there to Monroe County, N. Y., and in 1844 to Sullivan County, Ind., where the father cultivated the soil. Two years later he moved to McLean County, III., and made that his home until his death, which occurred in 1856. The mother received her final summons in 1850. Their children now living are named as follows: Elnathan (married and lives in Indiana), Gersham (married and lives in Sioux City, Iowa), Thankful E. (now Mrs. Harlan, of Belle Plain, Iowa), and P. H. Thrasher (the subject of this sketch). The latter was reared to farm labor, and received his education in the schools of New York, Indiana and McLean County, Ill. When twenty years of age he was united in marriage, in McLean County, to Miss Mary E. Bessie, a native of Ohio, who bore him two liv- ing children: Roxy Ann (now Mrs. Grimes, of Liv- ingston County, Ill.), and Arthur (married and lives in Adams County, Neb.). Mr. Thrasher lost his ex- cellent wife in November, 1858, and in 1860 was

ADAMS COUNTY.

married in La Salle County, Ill. , to Miss Emma El- vira Coats, a native of La Salle County, and the daughter of Peter A. and Eliza (Manville) Coats, natives of Connecticut, who at an early day settled in La Salle County, Ill. Mr. Coats with his family took an overland trip to California in 1852, but returned in 1857, and settled in La Salle County, where the father made his home until his death in 1859. His wife died in California in 1855. After marriage Mr. Thrasher settled on a farm in La Salle County, Ill. , and there remained until 1883, when he moved to Adams County, Neb., and located on his present place. In 1886 he purchased 160 acres of improved land, and has since been engaged in farm- ing and stock raising. Mr. Thrasher is quite aetive in politics and votes with the Democratic party. He was elected justice of the peace in 1889, and will be magistrate of the township. To his marriage were born six living children: Ida (now Mrs. Winter, of Garfield, La Salle County, Ill.), Pliny (married and resides in Hall County, Neb.), Adna (now Mrs. Stebbins, of Ayr, Neb.), Nellie (now Mrs. George, of Hall County, Neb.), and Clara and Mortimore, who are still at home. Although not as early in the county as some, Mr. Thrasher has seen many and vast changes since his residence here, and has taken an active interest in all that relates to the good of the country. He was here at the organization of the township.

George W. Tibbets is the senior member of the successful and widely known law firm of Tibbets, Morey & Ferris, of Hastings, Neb. He was born in Allegany County, N. Y., July 25, 1848, and is a son of James and Lucy A. (Raymond) Tibbets, who were also natives of the State of New York, born in 1822 and 1824, respectively, the former's death also occurring there in 1876. George W. Tibbets received his education at Genesee Valley Seminary, N. Y., and in the Iowa State University, but in 1874 he turned his attention to the study of law in the office of Richardson, Flannigan & Smith, at An- gelica, N. Y., and after a thorough preparation of three years, he was admitted to practice in all the courts of the State of New York. He then prae- ticed his profession in his native State until 1886, at which time he came to Hastings, and in April of

that year the law firm of Tibbets & Morey was estab- lished, Mr. Ferris becoming a member of the firm in January, 1890. Politically, Mr. Tibbets has always been a Democrat, and socially is a member of the Masonic fraternity. He was married August 2, 1882, to Miss Mary A. Capron, a native of New York, by whom he has one child, Raymond M. Charles F. Morey, a member of the above named firm, is a native of Wyoming County, N. Y., his birth occurring there on November 17, 1855. Ilis father, Reuben Morey, was a Baptist clergyman; and was also a native of the "Empire State," his birth occurring in 1805. He was a graduate of Brown University, and was ever noted as a man of fine intellect, and in his ability as a minister was far above the average. In 1871 he moved with his family to Wisconsin, where the mother, whose maiden name was Abbie Bogman, died the same year, Mr. Morey passing away from life in the same State in 1880. Charles F. Morey received an unusually good education, and was first a faith- ful and painstaking student in the Institute of Beaver Dam, Wis., and in 1879 graduated from the Chicago University, his course there being also marked by conscientious application. In 1877 he began his legal studies in connection with his col- lege work, and in 1882 was admitted to the Chicago bar, and, after a residence of four years in that city, he came to Hastings (in 1886), which place has since continued to be his home. His marriage was sol- emnized in June, 1883, his wife being Miss Anna M. Riordan, a native of Columbus, Ohio, by whom he has one child: Clive R. Mr. Morey is a Repub- liean in his political views. Elmer E. Ferris, the junior member of the firm, was born in Wisconsin in 1862, and, like Mr. Morey, was an attendant of Beaver Dam, Wis., Institute, and the Chicago Uni- versity, also graduating in the class of 1884. After spending one year in the Chicago Union Law Col- lege he, in 1888, came to Hastings and the same year was admitted to the Adams County bar, form- ing his present partnership in 1890. They have gained an excellent reputation throughout the State, and show ability and sagaeity in the management of their cases. Mr. Ferris was married July 6, 1889. to Miss Minnie F. Lum, of Wisconsin.

Henry Trier, like all native Germans, is enter- prising, industrious, frugal, and therefore success- ful. His birth occurred in Hesse Cassel, Erksdorf, December 12, 1856, and he is a son of Valentine and Elizabeth (Linker) Trier, the former of whom was a farmer of good standing in his native land, and died about the year 1870, still survived by his widow. Henry Trier is the fourth of their six chil- dren, five sons and one daughter, and when only sixteen years of age he determined to seek his fortune in a new land, and upon reaching the United States he located at Peru, La Salle County, Ill. , where he remained about eleven years, a portion of his time being spent in town, and the rest in farming. While there he invested in some farming property in Lyons County, Kan., on Eagle Creek, and after tilling this property two years he sold out and returned to his Illinois home, and a few years later came to his present abode. He settled on his present farm in 1885, but in the latter part of 1889 moved to Hol- stein, where he is now living. He was married in Peru to Mrs. Elizabeth (Peters) Keutzer, who was born in Peru, and their union has resulted in the birth of one son and three daughters: Emma (Keut- zer), Louisa (Keutzer), George and Lydia Trier. Mr. and Mrs. Trier worship in the Lutheran Church, and Mr. Trier is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. In addition to conducting his farm he is engaged in conducting a livery stable, which is one of the best in the county, and is proving quite profitable.

John Valentine, dealer in wines and liquors, Hastings, Neb. Ever since his connection with the affairs of Adams County, Mr. Valentine has dis- played those sterling characteristics of men of Ger- man nativity-industry, perseverance and integrity, that have resulted in awarding him a representative place in matters pertaining to this community. His birth occurred March 22, 1841, and he is the son of Harn and Auka (Hendrichs) Valentine, natives of Germany, the former born in 1811, and the latter in 1809. The father died in his native country in 1884, but the mother came to the United States in 1886, settled in Adams County, Neb., and here died three weeks after her arrival. John Valentine re- ceived a thorough education in the schools of Ger-

many, and there followed agricultural pursuits until 1865, when he came to the United States. He set- tled in Illinois, carried on farming, and was also in the wine and liquor business. He came to Hastings in December, 1880, and has since been engaged in his present business, at which he has been quite successful. He has a brick building, 22x66 feet, at the corner of Hastings Avenue and First Street, which was erected in 1888. Mr. Valentine was mar- ried on December 5, 1870, to Miss Jurkea Engel- barths Siebens, who died at Jacksonville, Ill., in 1881, leaving two daughters: Auka and Anna. In 1882 Mr. Valentine was married to Miss Anna Mal- steadt, and to this union were born five children: William, John. Martha, Chris. and Mara. In poli- tics Mr. Valentine is a Democrat.

William Van Boening belongs to that sturdy, in- dependent class, the farmers of Nebraska, and none of the residents of Adams County possess more genuine merit or worthy characteristics than he. He was born in Germany in 1838, and was one of nine children born to Simon and Elizabeth Van Boening, the former a prosperous farmer of Ger- many, who died in his native land in 1862, having been an earnest member of the Presbyterian Church. In 1866 the mother came with the children to the United States and settled in Illinois, where her death occurred the following year. Their children are: Cynthia, Egbert, William, John, Klaas, Emily, Lena, Tilda and Simon. William Van Boening farmed near Emden, Logan County, Ill., for seven years, and was there married, in 1874, to Mary Johnson, a native of Germany. Two years later he removed to Nebraska, and bought land to the amonnt of 400 acres, all under cultivation, and well improved with buildings of all kinds, all necessary stock, and good fences and orchards. He takes considerable interest in political matters, and is a Republican in his views. He and wife are members of the Lutheran Church, and to their union a family of three children have been born: Rammar (married, and resides in Adams County), Simon (at home), and Ettie (who died at the age of two years).

John Van Boening is a brother of the above named gentleman, and, like him, a successful tiller of the soil and a prosperous stock raiser. His birth

also occurred in Germany in 1840, and there he, like all German youths, received an excellent school- ing. In 1866 he settled in Tazewell County, III .. and here his wife, whom he had married just prior to leaving Germany, died in 1868. Her maiden name was Fankel (Kries) Stikker, and by Mr. Van Boening she became the mother of one child, Frank, who is at present residing with his father. Mr. Van Boening wedded his second wife in 1870, she being a Miss Hebrieg Lolling, a daughter of II. Lolling, of Germany, who died there in 1876. Her mother, Auke Lolling, also died there in 1849, having borne two children: Hebrieg, and Arbetta, who died in III- inois in 1877. In 1876 Mrs. Van Boening came to the United States, and with her husband emigrated to Nebraska in March, 1866, where he purchased 160 acres of some of the best land in Adams County. From 1869 until his removal here he had resided in Logan County, Ill. His labors have met with well merited results, and he is now one of the prosperous agricultorists of this county. He has always voted the Republican ticket, and while a resident of Logan County, Ill., held the position of school director. He and wife are members of the German Presby- terian Church, and are the parents of the following named children: Swanetta, Harm, Elizabeth, Simon, Katie, Arbetta and Lena.

Simon Van Boening has resided on his present farm of 160 acres in Section 23-6-9, Adams County, Neb., since he made the purchase in 1880. His property is well improved, and the manner in which it is conducted speaks highly of his good judgment and ability as a manager. Born in Germany, in 1857, he was the youngest of a family reared by Simon Van Boening. In 1869 he emigrated to the United States, and settled near Lincoln, in Logan County, III., where he remained ten years, his at- tention being given to farming and stock raising. In 1879 he came to the State of Nebraska, settling in Hanover Township, and for two years made his home with his brother William, after which, in 1881. he bought and moved to his own property, which he has since been actively engaged in cultivating. ITis property has been accumulated by his own personal hard work, close application and good management, and he has transformed it from a vast extent of

prairie land to a finely tilled farm. This he deems one of the fairest of farming communities. Ile is a Republican in politics, and is a supporter of schools, churches, and all good works having for their objeet. the npbuilding and development of his adopted home. He and wife are members of the German Presbyterian Church, and he was its first trustee. Angust 28, 1881, Miss Ida Schmidt, a daughter of 1. R. Schmidt, became his wife, she being a native of Peoria County, HI., born July 21, 1860. They have four boys: Hiram, Simon, Class and George. Mr. and Mrs. Van Boening are highly respected throughout the community.

Jans Van Hove is a prosperous farmer and stock- man of Adams County, Neb., and from this brief and incomplete view of his life record it will be seen that his days from his earliest youth up have not. been uselessly or idly spent. A native German, he was born in 1827, and possess all the characteristics of his race, that of sterling integrity, industry and frugality being among the number. His father, Tirde Van Hove, was a sailor, and died in 1860; his wife, Catharina O. Van Hove, passing from life in her native land in 1884. Jans Van Hove was mar- ried in his native land in 1858 to Miss Anna Dinkale, by whom he has reared the following family: Tirde. Siemtje (Mrs. Boontjer), Catharina, Geentje (Mrs. Dykhuisen), Angenete, Ede and Johan. Upon first coming to the United States Mr. Van Hove settled in Ogle County, Ill. , in 1864, and after making that county his home until 1878, he came to Nebraska and purchased 160 acres of railroad land in Hanover Township, Adams County, and on this has since made his home, having improved it to a very great extent. His property has been acquired by honest toil, and he gives every promise of becoming a wealthy man, if hard work and enterprise can accom- plish the desired results. He is a deacon in the Reformed Church, and on the northwest corner of his property has been created a substantial church, in which he and his family, as well as their neigh bors, worship. Mr. Van Hove is independent in his political views.

Frederick C. Van Veghten, farmer, stock raiser and furniture dealer. The life of this well known gentleman affords an example which might well be

HISTORY OF NEBRASKA.

imitated by the young men of the present day. Upon starting out in life for himself it was with little means and as a farmer in Cook Connty, Ill., and this occupation continued to receive his atten- tion there until the spring of 1884, when he came to Nebraska and located on 160 acres in Roseland Township, Adams County, where his enterprises have resulted successfully. Besides tilling his land he gives considerable attention to the raising of stock, especially to the propagation of Hereford cattle, and is also engaged in dealing in furniture at Holstein, and his efforts to build up and develop trade at this point have been very successful. He was married in Kankakee County, Ill., to Miss Jennie M. Storrs, a native of Essex County, N. Y., and a daughter of Hiram and Jane (Ferris) Storrs, also of that State, and well-to-do agriculturists, now residing in Kankakee County, Ill.

Y., on Decem- ber 12, 1849, and is a son of George and Florilla (Crofutt) Van Vechten, who were born in New York and Vermont, respectively. The father moved with his family to Maywood, Ill., in 1861, but is now re- siding in Kankakee. His aneestors were among the early Duteh settlers of New Amsterdam. His wife belonged to an old Vermont family of English and Scotch extraction.

Napoleon B. Vineyard, police judge of the eity of Hastings, Neb., was born in St. Clair County. Ill., February 10, 1835, being the only surviving member of a family of seven children born to George W. and Elizabeth (Hendershott) Vineyard, who were born in Fauquier County, Va. , in 1810, and Trum- bull County, Ohio, in December, 1812, and died at Lebanon, St. Clair County, III., in 1845, and in Henry County, Iowa, in 1865, respectively. The father was a contractor and builder by occupation, and his father, Robert Vineyard, was a Virginian by birth, born in 1780, and passed from life in St. Clair County, III., in 1840, he having moved to this location as early as 1818, the year of its admission into the Union as a State. David Hendershott, the maternal grandfather, was born in Washington

County, Pa., in 1789, and departed his life in Henry County, Iowa, in 1864. To this county Napoleon B. Vineyard was taken by his parents at the age of nine, and here he remained ten years, receiving his education in the common schools. He then took up his abode in Iowa County, and as he was always a stanch supporter of the Republican party he was elected on that ticket in 1856 to the office of county sheriff; was re-elected in 1858, his term expiring on January 1, 1860.
