tion was the middle of a field of wheat. The town grew rapidly and was particularly lively in the summer of 1888, when the B. & M. Railroad grade was built, and it was expected that the cars would be running into the town that fall. Owing to a big strike on the sys- tem, the road was not completed at that time. The drouth years of the carly '90s caused the town to dwindle down to a mere shadow of its former proportions. In the fall of 1899, how- ever, the railroad was built from Arcadia to Sargent, making the latter the terminus, and since that time the town has had a very sub- stantial growth. The Independent Telephone Company, of Broken Bow, extended its line to Sargent in the fall of 1900. The same fall was erected a fine, two-story frame school

ANSLEY

Ansley is an enterprising town of 1,000 pop- ulation, located in the southeastern part of Custer county, on the main line of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad to the north- west.

The county around it is adapted to farming and stock-raising and these are the chief occu- pations of the people. The first settlement was made in the year 1886, in which year the Lin- coln Land Company purchased from Anthony Wilkinson, a ranchman, the land upon which the town now stands, and platted the town, naming it in honor of a lady by the name of Ansley who had invested considerable money in real estate here. The first frame building erected was occupied by a lawyer by the name of George Snell. The second building was the store building of Edgar Varney, which he moved over from Westerville. These struc- tures were soon followed by others, among them the Van Sant House, later known as the Commercial hotel, the drug store of Sam Royds, two bank buildings, the stores of E. H. Burrows and A. H. Shepard and the Eureka hotel. The private residences of E. H. Gaines and Dan Hagin were crected in 1887 and that of C. J. Stevens in 1888. Among the first citizens of Ansley may be mentioned A. H. Turpen, O. P. Allphin, Mrs. H. Stevenson, C. J. Stevens. Edgar Varney, Dan Hagin, E. H. Gaines, E. H. Burrows, D. A. Van Sant, Sam Royds, Thomas Blowers, A. H. Shepard. C. MI. Dorr. James Davis, F. E. Gosselin, and A. I. and E. A. Butler, to whose enterprise and business judgment in those early times are largely due the later progress and prosperity of this community. Mr. E. H. Burrows, one of the old citizens, describes his first visit to Ansley in these words :

"I first struck the town in the middle of May, 1886. At that time, there was a tent and a wagon-load of lumber to mark the spot where

the future metropolis of the southeastern part of Custer county was to be. I selected my lot for a building site at that time and went back cast for a while, to await developments, re- turning about the 7th of July. On my return, I found more tents and more lumber on the ground, and a few shanties in the course of erection. We were compelled to haul our lumber for building purposes by wagon from Kearney, over sixty miles, which brought the price of six-dollar-a-thousand knot-holes up to the price of 'B' select. While staying at An- sley this time, I boarded at the West End ho- tel, a fine structure built of 'B' select, with kitchen, dining room, office, parlor, bathroom, and bedroom combined. Everybody was good- natured and the landlord expected his guests to 'double up' every night with whoever he saw fit to assign us, and at the first peep o' day the clerk would come and shake us, say- ing. 'Time to roll off them tables; the girls want to set the tables for breakfast,' with which request we cheerfully complied, pulling on our shoes as quickly as possible, going out of doors and leaning up against the knot-holes until the bell rang for breakfast, when we sat up to the table. The waiter then called out from the kitchen. 'Tea or coffee, which? you fellows on the north end.' Of course we said 'coffee' because it had more body than tea, which prevented us from seeing what was floating about between the bottom and top of the cup. The waiter brought in a plate of hot biscuits and another with eggs and bacon, set them on the table and said, 'Now, boys, help yourselves.' We waited for some time, won- dering if we were expected to use our hands for plates and our fingers for knives and forks. We finally asked the waiter if that was the intention. He replied, 'Come off the dump ! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! There is your tableware.' And sure enough there it was. We had failed to remove the cover of fat, saucy flies that had taken possession of our plates as if they had expected to be waited upon first. Such was my first experience with Ansley. When I ar- rived a third time. after an absence of four or five weeks, I found that a great change had been made - from a brown prairie to a busy

village. I found about twenty buildings, in different stages of erection, my own among them, which was partly inclosed. 1 scraped a lot of shavings together, spread down my blankets and slept under my own vine and fig tree. But, alas ! not alone. After I fell asleep. I dreamed I was a boy again and went down to the creek to take a swim, and just as I was ready to take a plunge into the water, I fell backwards into a bunch of nettles. I awoke. and as soon as I got myself located, I realized that it was not nettles, but fleas."

The railroad was put through Ansley in the fall of 1886. Mr. Fred Gosselin was the first operator. The putting of the railroad through not only brought Americans, but also folks front across the seas to share in the bounties of this western country. One of these, Mrs. Anna Thessen, in a letter from Mason City addressed to Mr. E. P. Gaines and dated June 16, 1918, tells of her first visit to Ansley:

"As I read the question in your advertise- ment, I thought that I would send in a few items. It is thirty years ago, the 21st of this month, that I, a young girl of seventeen, fresh from Germany, came to Ansley. As I couldn't talk American, I did the next best thing and got an English-German dictionary, in which I looked up such words as 'hotel,' breakfast,' 'how much,' 'coffee,' 'tea.' 'team,' 'livery barn," and so on, and that way found the hotel. asked for breakfast, paid for it, hired a team and was taken to the farm of John Graf. The hotel was called the 'Cottage Hotel' and was kept by either Mrs. Van Sant or Mrs. Alex Moore : anyhow it was one of the two. The livery barn was kept by Ed. Sloan and was standing west of Harry McNulty's restaurant. I also bought candy at Edgar Varney's store. The bank, I think, was run at that time by C. J. Stevens."

The motto of Ansley is: "Push, that's .\n- sley." and the enterprise and thrift of its busi- ness men have proved its proper applicability. They are, and have generally been, men of unselfish service, broad vision, and community pride - men whose aim is, and has been, to serve the community as well as themselves. And whatever this town may become, it will

owe much to those sturdy pioneers who, in (lefiance of hail, hot winds, and drouth, blazed the trail that others have followed to success and opulence.

ANSLEY'S BANKS

The first bank in Ansley was established in the year 1888, by C. J. Stevens, F. M. Rublee, and B. F. Haeke, and was known as the Ansley Banking Company. In 1902 C. Mackey, Frank Young, and T. T. Varney bought out the banking company and reorganized it as the First National Bank. It continued as such until 1916, when it was changed to the State Bank of Ansley. Its present officers are : President, C. Mackey : vice-president. B. J. Tierney; cashier, R. A. Studley ; assistant cashier, E. O. Morris : other stockholders and directors. Andrew Sherbeck and Anthony Wil- kinson. Its present capital and surplus aggre- gate $40,000 and its deposits $500.000.

In the year 1887 Peter Fowlie and William West organized the Bank of Ansley, but this failed in the year 1890.

The Farmers' State Bank was organized in 1905. Its first president was Walter E. New- comb and its first cashier was George E. Richtmyer. Mr. Newcomb was succeeded by Frank Baker and he by George E. Richtmyer, who continued as president up to the time of his death, October 1, 1917. The present offi- cers are: President, Frank Baker ; vice-pres- ident, Lewis S. Newcomb ; cashier, Grover A. Holeman ; assistant cashier. A. C. Van Horne. In the 1907 panic this bank never refused to cash a check. Its present authorized capital is $25,000 and its deposits amount to over $200.000.

The Security State Bank was organized February 5, 1915. Its first president was .1. P. Dobesh and its first cashier was F. N. Austin. Its present captial and surplus amount to $21,000 with deposits of $220.000. Its re- sources have increased from $57.840.97 in August. 1915, to $244,983.89 in August, 1918. Its present officers are: President, William Ililow : vice-president. Henry Schmid ; cashier, E. P. Gaines ; assistant cashier, D. C. Thomp- son.

ANSLEY'S MERCANTILE ESTABLISHMENTS

The first merchant in Ansley was Edgar Varney, who moved his store over from Wes- terville and put it in charge of his son, T. T. Varney, in the early part of the year 1886. The same year, Thomas H. Blowers also moved from Westerville. About the same time, W. D. Fritz opened up the first hard- ware store, in the building with Edgar Varney. The following year saw the advent of E. H. Burrows, A. H. Shepard, Gaines & Hagin, and the Butler Brothers. Burrows continued in business up to the year 1912, when he disposed of his interests to E. L. Kelley and removed to Los Angeles, California. A. H. Shepard was in business up to 1916, when he disposed of his stock of goods to his son, Archie H., and his daughter, Myrtle C., and entered the post of- fice. Gaines & Hagin ran their business until 1909, when they dissolved partnership, Hagin disposing of his interests to Gaines and. later, starting a new store, which he continued to run until 1913. Gaines continued at the old stand up to the time of his death, January 2, 1915, when his sons disposed of his stock of goods. Thomas H. Blowers, in the early part of the '90s, traded his mercantile business for the milling interests of A. W. Hawk, who operated it with C. J. Stevens and I. Clark about ten years. Of the present merchants, C. J. Stevens started his present store in 1895, J. H. Kerr in 1899. F. P. Hawk in 1903, L. F. Landmesser in 1907. J. H. Varney in 1914, and Shepard & Shepard in 1916.

The first furniture and undertaking estab- lishment in Ansley was run by Fred Gosselin, who opened it in 1889 or 1890. The R. G. Applegarth Furniture and Undertaking Com- pany have been in businesss since 1906. Mr. Applegarth died in the year 1916, since which time the manager, H. D. Reed, who has been with the company from the first. has had sole charge. Mattley & lloover and C. J. Stevens both carry a line of furniture, while the for- mer also do an undertaking business.

The first hardware dealer was W. D. Fritz. but the Butler Brothers and Gaines & Hagin also carried a full line of hardware and farm machinery. In 1902 W. S. Mattley began sell-

221

IHISTORY OF CUSTER COUNTY, NEBRASKA

ing hardware and farm machinery, disposing of his business to his brother, Charles E., in May, 1914. In April, 1916, the firm became Mattley & Hoover, through the admission of C. B. Hoover. D. W. Thompson sold farm machinery from 1903 to 1913. The present dealers in farm machinery are J. D. Knapp and Hiser & Detwiler. Mr. Knapp has been in his present business since 1906 and Messrs. Hiser and Detwiler since 1914.

From the start, all of the general mercantile stores carried lines of clothing. Our present clothier is Roscoe G. Secord, who keeps a full line of men's furnishing goods - hats, boots, shoes. rubbers, neckties, and collars. Our tailor. Otto Winter, who came in September, 1916, also takes orders for suits, besides doing a cleaning and pressing business.

The first milliner in Ansley was Miss Wil- helmina Mengel (now Mrs. M. C. Warrington, of Mason City), who opened a shop the year that the village was started. Then came Miss Nettie Worden ( now Mrs. R. M. Hayslip). She was followed by Mrs. Mary Wakelin, and she by Miss Augusta Worden. Later the Worden sisters, then Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. Holman, entered the millinery business and · conducted it for several years. The present milliner is Miss Mary Geeseman, who has been in the business since 1914. Others who have carried a line of millinery since the be- ginning of the town have been E. H. Bur- rows. A. H. Shepard, and C. J. Stevens.

ANSLEY'S MILLS, SHOPS, LIVERY STABLES, ETC.

The first blacksmith was C. M. Dorr. who came at the founding of the town, or soon after. A few months later, William Davis entered into business with him. This part- nership continued for several years, when Davis sold out his interest to Dorr, who con- tinued to run it for a few months longer. when he finally dsposed of it to Joel F. Lan- num. Later William Burdett went into the carriage and wagon business in the same build- ing, hiring a blacksmith to do his iron work. Shortly after the location of Dorr, Charles Gessright opened up a wagon shop on the lot where the home of T. N. Southard now stands.

Dana MI. Saville was also a blacksmith here, removing from Westerville in May, 1904, and continuing in business until October, 1914, when he was forced to quit, by reason of ill health. The present blacksmith is George Gravley, who came to this place in 1914.

The first barber shop was run by A. H. Turpen. The present barbers are S. P. Var- ney and R. D. Breeden.

In the fall of 1886, A. W. Hawk and his son, C. W., bought from the Martin Brothers the Algernon flouring mill, which, in 1890, they moved to Ansley. This mill they later traded to Blowers & Clark. It finally came into the hands of C. J. Stevens, and it was burned in the year 1906.

Ansley's first carpenters were O. M. Geese- man, Sid. Harris, Ed. Harris, Racine Wiget, Henry Klick, Jack Storey, Henry Hogg, and Al. Hoover. The first baker was J. A. Mauler. He came in 1903 or 1904. He was followed in 1909 by J. F. Russell, who has been in the business ever since.

Joe Moore opened the first garage, in 1908. In 1915 Templin & Wozney built their large garage, at a cost of $6,500. This garage is now run by the Marsh Auto Company, com- posed of H. Guy Marsh. G. H. Holeman, and A. C. Van Horne. The garage of E. A. But- ler & Son was erected in the fall of 1916, and. including stock and fixtures, represents the value of $20,000. E. A. Butler and his son, Harry, are salesmen for the Ford automobile company, of Detroit. The Hollenbeck garage, which makes a specialty of repairing cars. is run by the manager, C. R. Woolley. E. H. Norden runs a machine shop and makes a specialty of automobile repairing.

The first shoe repairer was Henry Abbey. Next came E. Clark, who sold his shop to Frank Mills, who in turn, in 1905, disposed of it to its present owner, Perry Foster. Mr. Foster also carries a full line of footwear.

.A. J. Hookum has just installed a new Sano mill. with the capacity of fifty barrels of flour per day. The first meat market was run by Anthony Wilkinson. Others who have en- gaged in the meat business are John Davis. William Zimmerman, Clerk Hanna, O. H.

HISTORY OF CUSTER COUNTY, NEBRASKA

Moomey, Wes. Moomey, Jake Paine, Norton Amsberry. Fred Simpson. E. B. Hyatt, George Hatfield, Will Garten, and Al. Govier. The present markets are the Ansley market, con- ducted by Perry Lanum, and the Sanitary market. conducted by Fred Maulick.

The first to engage in the well business was George Haines, about 1889. Henry Wakelin and Al. Harvell also were engaged in this business in the early years of Ansley. E. A. Butler sold windmills and well material from the commencement of the town. Hiram Cur- tis has been in the business since 1897, moving into his new building in 1917.

In 1887, Joe Rambo opened the first livery barn, where Butler's garage now stands. This building was later removed to the Lan- um lots and is now one of the buildings be- longing to Grand and John Lanum, who use it for a feed and sale stable. Others who have been engaged in the livery business are Alex. Moore, At. Sloan, James McMannus, Wallace Busic. F. P. and C. W. Hawk, Russell & Lan- um. W. O. Phillips, and E. F. Hollenbeck.

D. A. Van Sant opened the first hotel in Ansley, the Commercial House, in August, 1886. It was afterward sold to Mrs. Eggle- ston, who ran it for a number of years. It is the building now occupied by Pat's Cafe. The Central hotel was opened by Fritz & Michael. on the lot that lies just east of the postoffice. The Cottage hotel stood where Harry Mc- Nulty's restaurant now stands and was con- ducted for a number of years by Mrs. Alex. Moore. Harry McNulty and Mrs. Edna Gay- Jord now conduct the two restaurants of the place, while our large rooming house is owned by Mrs. R. M. Hayslip.

J. W. Comstock has been in the harness business continuously since the beginning of the town. in 1886 - first with a partner. Henry Abbey, and latterly. in 1907. with Fred Mills. since which the firm has been known as Com- stock & Mills.

The jewelry business in Ansley was first represented by Henry Kirk, who came either in 1886 or 1887 and occupied a building near where the postoffice now stands. After three or four years, he disposed of his stock and left

the town. He was followed by Elsa Harsin, who had his shop with Walter Theobald, drug- gist. When Charles Hare bought the Theo- bald drug store he also purchased Harsin's jewelry equipment, and he continued to mend watches up to the time of his death. In the meantime a jeweler by the name of Snook opened a shop in the little building formerly occupied by S. P. Varney as a barber shop. He must have been a very good man. for. al- though we have consulted a score of the old citizens, we have been able to obtain but three facts in regard to his life : he was a jeweler, a Seventh-day Adventist, and his name was Snook. When Charles Hare died. in 1905, A. L. Butler purchased the jewelry business. which he has conducted ever since.

D. A. Van Sant was the first drayman and the first to make a business of moving build- ings. He moved the flouring mill of Hawk & Son from Algernon to Ansley, in 1890. The present draymen are Clyde Pinckley and Andy Case.

The Star Theatre is owned by Mrs. Joyce Wellman and is operated by her manager, William Burdett.

There are at present seven creamery agen- cies in Ansley. The David Cole Company, of Omaha, is represented by A. W. Kimball ; the Lincoln Pure Butter Company by Norton Amsberry: the Beatrice Creamery Company by J. D. Knapp: the Kirschbaum & Sons Creamery Company. of Omaha, by Fred Maulick ; and the Farmers' Shipping Associa- tion, and the Fairmont Creamery Company by .A. J. Hookom and William Mannen.

ANSLEY'S LUMBER AND COAL YARDS

The first lumber company to do business in Ansley was the Chicago Lumber Company, which entered the fiekl in June. 1886. Its representative was a young man by the name of Cox, and he. with a small pile of lumber. landed here before any buildings were erected. In the fall of 1885 the Stevenson Lumber Company was established. Its manager was Brome Stevenson. The father of the manager was the first man to die in Ansley - from the effects of injuries received in being thrown

from a buggy. In this same year E. A. and A. L. Butler went into the coal business, re- maining in the same until 1894, when E. A. went to work for the International Harvester Company and A. L. engaged in the restaurant business, removing the fixtures from Seward. The Dierks Lumber Company, which has been on the ground for a number of years, is rep- resented in this place by its genial manager, O. D. Dean. Its investment here is $60,000. The J. H. Melville Lumber Company, succes- sor of the Turner Lumber Company, repre- sents an investment of $27,000. Its manager is Percy Reed. Both yards deal in coal and lumber. The Farmers' Shipping Association also deals in coal .:

ANSLEY'S SHIPPING ASSOCIATION

B. J. Tierney began in the grain and live- stock business in Ansley in the year 1887 and has been engaged in this line continuously ever since. In 1917, alone, he transacted business to the value of $100,000. The Farmers' Grain & Livestock Shipping Association was organ- ized in 1909. Its organic capital is $10,000. Its stockholders number 125 and it has paid-up capital of $21,000. Its president is A. P. Dobesh ; secretary, James Allen ; and manager, Sam. P. Negley.

ANSLEY'S DRUG STORES

The first druggist was Sam Royds, who was also postmaster. He came in 1886 and, upon his death. in 1888, his wife (now Mrs. B. J. Tierney ), succeeded him. She conducted the business until it was sold to Charles H. F. Steinmeir, in 1906. Mr. Steinmeir now con- ducts a Rexall store and the value of his en- terprise is estimated at $40.000. The second drug store in Ansley was that of Rev. Walter Theobald, a Baptist minister, and it was opened shortly after that of Royds. This store was later disposed of to Charles B. Hare and was run by him for a number of years -until his death, in September, 1905, when the stock was sold to C. H. F. Steinmeir. Shortly after the death of Royds, his clerk, O. P. Allphin, opened a drug store, and he continued in busi- ness until 1912, when the stock was disposed
