to Miss Minnie Carroll, who was a native of Bedford county, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of H. Carroll and Ruth Carroll. From this union two children were born - R. Wal- ter, and Gladys G. Walter graduated from the high school and at present is attending the State Agricultural School at Lincoln, Nebras- ka. Gladys G. is in attendance at the Western Union College, at LeMars, Iowa. Mrs. Sam- son, mother of the children, died May 12, 1903. Mr. Samson was again married March 28, 1912, when Miss Allie V. Stoughton became his wife, she being a representative of an old English family.

Mr. and Mrs. Samson own 320 acres of land, three and one-half miles northwest of Oconto, and by thrift and industry have accummulated a competency for old age. Both are members of the Evangelical church at Oconto. Mr. Samson is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen of America. He is a Republican in politics. He is always called in the community con- sultations of his neighbors, and he is one of the upright and valued men of his community.

GEORGE W. HAMMOND. - Among the farmers of recognized moral and material worth whose labors have largely helped to develop the interests of Custer county, is George W. Hammond. Mr. Hammond's suc- cess in life, which has not been inconsiderable, rests wholly with himself and his abilities, for his equipment at the outset of his career was of only an ordinary character, and he was compelled to rely solely upon his own re- sources.

Mr. Hammond was born in Harrison county, Indiana, August 5, 1860, a son of George and Rachel (Schwartz) Hammond. The parents were early settlers of Indiana and followed agriculture there in a small way until their migration, in 1884, to Custer county. Here they passed the remainder of their lives in the cultivation of the soil and the develop- ment of a home, and they here rounded out honorable and useful careers, leaving many to mourn their loss when they were called to their final rest. They were the parents of eight children, of whom three survive: Ab, who is engaged in farming on a property near Ansley ; George W., whose name initiates this article : and Alexander, who follows farming. in Kimball county, this state. George W. Ham- mond received only limited educational advan- tages, in Indiana, and his entire training during his youth was along agricultural lines. He reached his majority in Indiana, but continued

to be associated with his father, and with him, in 1884, he came to Nebraska. Upon his ar- rival he filed on a homestead, and this has con- tinued to be his home to the present time, al- though it has greatly grown in size by reason of numerous purchases, and now, in acreage, comprises a half-section of land. All of this has been accumulated by Mr. Hammond through legitimate channels of business, and his reputation in the business world is one that will bear the closest scrutiny. He has devoted himself to general farming in all its depart- ments, raises all kinds of live stock, and is known to be thoroughly familiar with the most approved methods and processes in farm in- dustry, being, all in all, a thorough, systematic, and successful farmer who is typical of the most worthy and substantial agricultural ele- ment of the county.

January 30. 1882, Mr. Hammond married Miss Mary Hannell, who was born in Harrison county, Indiana, a daughter of Michael and Matilda (Brown) Hannell, the former a native of Germany, and the latter of Indiana. To Mr. and Mrs. Hammond there have been born twelve children, of whom eleven are living: Charity, who is the wife of Bert Jones, of Kimball county. Nebraska; Sam, who is en- gaged in farming in Custer county ; May, who is the wife of Clarence Evans, a farmer twelve miles east of Broken Bow: Elsie, who is the wife of C. B. Edwards, of Yankee Hill, Cali- fornia ; Bill, who farms in Kimball county, Ne- braska, and is a homesteader of Wyoming; Joe, of Kimball county, who prepared himself to enter the United States military service ; Pearl, who is the wife of George Miller, of Kimball county; Edith, who died at the age of twenty years; and Dewey, Mabel, Gladys, and Lloyd, who remain with their parents. Mrs. Hammond is a member of the Lutheran church. Mr. Hammond belongs to the local lodge of the Modern Woodmen of America. He is a Republican in politics, but his only public office has been that of school director, in which he rendered efficient and conscientious service, for eight years.

JOHN ROBERTSON. - This is the plain story of a plain man who has run the expe- riences common to Custer county settlers, one who has made here his farm home and here reared his family to creditable manhood and womanhood.

Mr. Robertson is a native of Kankakee coun- ty, Illinois, where he was born February 21, 1865. He is a son of Walter and Margaret (Johnson) Robertson, both of whom were

1160

HISTORY OF CUSTER COUNTY, NEBRASKA

born in Scotland. The parents, a splendid Scotch couple, maintained, in strict conformity to Scottish customs, an ideal Scottish home, in which were born seven children - George, Gavin, Walter, Margaret Lang, John, Martha Williams, and William (deceased). The fa- ther's occupation in Scotland was that of a coal- miner. He married in Scotland but came to the United States in 1878, and settled at Clark City, Illinois, where he followed coal- mining as a business for nine years. He then quit the mines and came to Custer county, Ne- braska, which in those days was a domain of almost endless opportunity. He located a claim on the Cottonwood, eight miles south of Callaway, and there established his home, and arranged for the maintenance of his family. It was here that the boyhood years of John Rob- ertson were spent. It was here that he received the common education of the Custer county youths, and here that he learned by practical experience all details of practical farming and stock-raising.

After passing through the experiences com- mon to youth, John Robertson married, June 28. 1911. Miss Sadie McGuigan. Mrs. Rob- ertson, like her husband, is of Scotch extrac- tion, and is a daughter of John and Mary ( Armour) McGuigan, both of whom came from Scotland. The young couple established their own home and they now have two chil- dren - Georgia A., six years old, and Verla S., four years old (1918). Mr. and Mrs. Robertson are living on the home place of the former's father, but Mr. Robertson has just bought 240 acres adjoining on the east, and this property he expects to improve for a home of his own, in the very near future.

Mr. and Mrs. Robertson are both well and favorably known, and the neighbors predict that their energy and thrifty habits will pro- vide amply for the years of their retirement. They bear a splendid name in the neighbor- hood and are known as obliging. desirable neighbors. Their religious affiliations are with the Catholic church.

Mr. Robertson's farming operations are of a mixed nature, large dependence being placed upon live stock, and cattle, hogs, and sheep have prominent place in his operations. Mr. Robertson says that his first dollar was earned when he was a mere lad, by herding cattle for Theodore Lang, but he does not remember now whether the money so earned went for candy or peanuts. He kept no book accounts in those days, and only one thing concerning his first financial exploit is fixed in his mind

and at the present time -and that is that the money is gone.

WILLIAM C. JOHNSTON was born Oc- tober 26, 1855, in the county of Victoria. Province of Ontario, Canada. His father. William Johnston, was born January 6, 1819, in the parish of Inver, county of Donegal, Ire- land. His mother's maiden name was Isabelle Cassidy, and she likewise was a native of Ire- land. Mr. Johnston's parents were married in 1846, and in their family were eleven chil- dren, five of whom are still living - William C., James O., Margaret E. (wife of James K. Morrison), and Lucy (wife of Wood C. Gray).

William C. Johnston came to the United States in 1879 and located in Saginaw, Michi- gan. Thereafter he spent two years in Minne- sota, and in 1882 he came to Nebraska and located one mile north of Lodi, Custer county. where he has resided ever since. After his arrival in the county he kept bachelor quarters for two years, at the expiration of which time his sister Margaret came from Canada and relieved him of household duties. Four years later she became the wife of James K. Morri- son. This gave Mr. Johnston a hint that it might be in order for him to take unto himself a wife, and accordingly, July 24, 1889, he married Miss Louise Cornish, who was born in the state of New York, and was a daughter of Lyman C. Cornish, her father having be- come a well known citizen in Custer county. and her mother, Eunice A. ( Lowe) Cornish, having been a New York woman.

During the married life of Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, six children came to bless their home. and four of the number are still living - Isabelle M., who is a graduate of the Grand Island Baptist Academy, fitted herself for teaching. but she now lives at home with her father: Louisa MI., also a graduate of the same school, is a teacher and is at the paternal home: Algena M. is attending the Kearney Normal School; and Edwin C., of the home circle, is in the sixth grade of his school career.

The happiness of this home was oversha- dowed with a great sorrow on August 16. 1916. when the loved wife and mother was sum- moned to the life eternal, leaving her devoted family to mourn her loss.

Mr. Johnston owns 640 acres of land. which is well improved and makes a splendid home for his children. He says that when he landed in Custer county there were only two houses

between his place and Oconto. He has about 275 acres of land in cultivation and in farming and stock-raising he has made the money which constitutes a modest Custer county fortune. When a boy he earned his first money by pulling the tops from carrots in a neighbor's garden.

The Johnstons are excellent people and rated in the community as fine neighbors. Re- ligiously they are Baptists and faithful sup- porters of the little church at Lodi. In politics MIr. Johnston is independent.

HENRY S. POSTON, whose story is told here, is a native of the historic Old Dominion state. He was born at Fairfax Courthouse, Virginia, March 27, 1861. His parents, Will- iam and Susan ( Hamilton) Poston, were like- wise born in Virginia. In the family of Will- iam Poston were eleven children. Only three are living - Mrs. Susan Long, Mrs. Araminta Brigham, and Henry S., the subject of this sketch1.

Mr. Poston's parents died when he was twelve years of age. and he then went to make his home with one of his sisters. He worked on the farm in the summer time and attended school in the winter. Recalling conditions under which Virginia farming was conducted, he says: "I remember working day after day hoeing corn and thinning out by hand, for fifty cents a day." In work of this kind young Henry did as much as any full-grown man could have done. When he was nineteen years of age he went to the city of Washing- ton, where he worked with his brother at the carpenter's trade. After a few years, thinking that he liked farming better. and hearing the call of the west, he came out to Kansas, where he worked in Marshall county about four years. In 1887 he turned his face to the northwest and crossed the line into Custer county, Ne- braska, where he located a pre-emption claim, five miles northwest of Callaway.

In November. 1889, at Broken Bow, Mr. Pos- ton married Miss Clara Schreyer, a daughter of Frederic Schreyer, who was one of the first settlers on the South Loup river west of Cal- laway, and to whom was given the honor of naming Triumph Precinct. Frederic Schreyer was born in Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Poston are the parents of nine children : Mrs. Aramin- ta Ridden ; Mrs. Alice Olson ; Mrs. Virginia Rookstool: Mrs. Lela Butler ; Miss Mande Poston, who is recent graduate of the high school in Gothenburg, and who still resides under the parental roof; Mrs. Opal Ridden; Frederic, who assists his

father on the farm and at present is a student in the Callaway high school : Albert ; and last. but not least, Master Richard Poston, who has reached only his third year but is nevertheless the dictator of the entire situation. The Pos- tons own 200 splendid acres in the North Loup valley and have now reached the place where they feel able to build a splendid farm home, which is in the course of construction at the time this article is written, and which is to be a model farm house. An elaborate water sys- tem, by which a hydraulic ram lifts water from a never-failing spring into the house, yards, and barns, is now being developed. Mr. Pos- ton maintains an artificial pond, in which he is raising fish on a small scale, yet sufficient for home consumption.

Mr. Poston states that he earned his first money by turning a grindstone, and the mem- ory of that old grindstone he claims gives him the backache still. For this service, on one occasion, he received ten cents in paper or script currency. It was more highly prized than any money he has received since. It was never destined, however, for profitable invest- ment. He carried it around in the pocket of a pair of linen trousers, and one luckless day the trousers went into the washtub ; money and all. And when they came out the ten cents in script had faded into a scrap of white paper.

Mr. Poston is a prominent member of the Modern Woodmen of America. Ile takes a lively interest in politics, generally affiliating with the Democratic party. He is progressive in spirit and stands for everything progressive, helpful, and honest. The family are attend- ants of the Evangelical church.

AUGUST W. F ROHDE AND OTTO ROHDE. - It is ever and again the same old story. Old-country thrift, replanted on wes- tern soil, brings success and develops the com- petency that renders life independent. Both August and his brother Otto are German farmers, natives of Germany and representa- tive of the frugal, thrifty German type. They came to this country in April, 1882, and in Ne- braska they first came to Grand Island, Hall county. They have made Custer county the stage of their operations and they are num- bered among the successful and substantial farmers of the community in which they reside.

For extended mention of their parents. ref- erence may be made to the sketch of Albert Rohde, elsewhere in this volume. In 1884 they came into the Custer county south region, where they located a homestead, and they now

1164

HISTORY OF CUSTER COUNTY. NEBRASKA

have the father's homestead and each owns three quarter-sections of good land. Otto owns one-quarter section in Custer county and two in the adjoining county of Buffalo, on the south. They are painstaking farmers and stockmen of a very practical type. They keep good horses, breed the best grade of cattle and hogs, and seem thoroughly convinced that it pays better to produce the blooded types than to waste feed and time on inferior breeds of scrub stock. They have their places well im- proved and are supplied with modern ma- chinery and every kind of equipment required for modern, profitable farming. Farms well fenced and in a high state of cultivation, show that much work has been done, and the sur- roundings denote that the toil has been re- munerated. Miller is their closest town, and there they are well known and enjoy the con- fidence of the business interests. They are Protestants in religious faith and are inter- ested in every progressive enterprise that tends to better the community. They manifested in every possible way their loyalty to the govern- ment during the progress of the great world war, by assisting in every possible way and by contributing to all the war drives. They were liberal contributors to Red Cross and Young Men's Christian Association work and purchased bonds to the extent of their ability. The Rohde boys have a wide circle of friends and are held in goodly esteem by all who know them.

JOHN HELMUTH, who is one of Custer county's most respected citizens, is also one of of its real pioneers and has the distinction of being the first man to locate on Red Fern Table - thirty-four years ago. He has wit- nessed wonderful changes during that long period and has seen men and whole families come and go, but never, even in the days of greatest hardship, has he entertained the idea of parting with his land and home. More than that, he has given encouragement to others and they, relying upon his practical judgment and good sense, have likewise weathered the storm and are safely in harbor. He has been active in promoting local enterprises that he deemed of general benefit to farmers and stockmen. and has always been foremost in maintaining schools and churches.

John Helmuth was born November 2, 1857, in Oberlanerengen, Bavaria, Germany. His parents, John and Mary N. ( Benkert ) Hel- muth, were born in Germany, and they had four children: William E., John, Christ, and Caroline Mary, the last named being the wife

of George Mary, and having one son. By a second marriage, the mother had one son, August Wirsching. The father of Mr. Hel- muth was a farmer and belonged to the Luth- eran church.

In February, 1870, John Helmuth, the im- mediate subject of this sketch, came to the United States and located first in Jo Daviess county, Illinois, where he worked for five years on the farm of General John .\. Logan, who was one of that state's distinguished mil- itary men and statesmen. Although he did well in Illinois, Mr. Helmuth wanted land and a home of his own, and that brought him to Custer county, Nebraska, in February, 1884. when he located on the southeast quarter of section 12, township 13, range 23, where he still lives. It was lonely at first, but Ernest Schneider came soon afterward, and before spring had passed Christ Helmuth, James Whitehead, John Muller, Chris and Henry Muller, Harvey Stockham, Otto Jester, Will- iam Greenfield, and Charles and Fred Drum had settled in the neighborhood. These settlers all suffered from lack of wells, and for five years they had to haul their water a consider- able distance. Mr. Helmuth, always a leader in enterprise, was the first one to put down a well on the Table, finding water at a depth of 456 feet. This was in 1889, and since then he has put down three other wells. Almost every settler of the present day has a fine flowing well, and the lack of sufficient water is practically no more a matter for consider- ation. The early settlers made little preten- sion, all living at first in dugouts or sod houses. While these primitive domiciles were usually of rather small dimensions, they had the ad- vantage of being warm in winter and cool in summer.

Mr. Helmuth was married June 8, 1884, at what is now the flourishing town of Lexington, Nebraska, to Miss Lillie Schneider, was was born in Jo Daviess county, Illinois, a daughter of Ernst and Johanna ( Kaeb) Schneider, na- tives of Germany. The following named chil- dren were born to Mr. and Mrs. Helmuth : William C., who lives at home, is farming with his father on shares; Bertha D. is the widow of John McNulty, who died Septem- ber 28, 1918. he having been a farmer near Oconto, and being survived by two daugh- ters ; Charles C. is at home and is helping his father operate the 800-acre farm, with 400 acres under cultivation, in corn and small grain ; John G., who was in the training camp at Camp Dix, New Jersey, but since Septem- ber Ist in France, is in the United States service as a member of the Three Ilundred

1167

HISTORY OF CUSTER COUNTY, NEBRASKA

and Thirty-fifth Field Artillery, Eighty-seventh Division, and he arrived with his command in France in the early part of September. 1918; and Emma C. and Lillie A. remain at the parental home.

Mr. Helmuth is a Democrat in politics. He has always taken much interest in the public schools and for many years has been a mem- ber of the school board of his district, which

was organized in Grant township in 1885. He belongs to the Oconto camp of the Modern Woodmen of America, and Mrs. Helmuth is a member of the Royal Neighbors. They are members of the Lutheran church. As a loyal and patriotic citizen of the United States, Mr. Helmuth has served as a committeeman in Grant township for the Council of Defense.
