EARLY HISTORICAL REMINISCEN- CES OF MAYFIELD TOWNSHIP

BY R. C. PERKINS

On the tenth day of September, 1872, a party of five men, including myself, left Boone County, Kentucky, to look over the

Great American Desert with a view to making homes in its bosom if our investigations proved satisfactory. Two days later we ar- rived in Omaha, on the western limits of civilization. After consulting with Colonel Noteweir, who was then immigration agent for the state, and obtaining from that excel- lent gentleman much valuable advice, we started the next morning for the heart of the desert. After brief stops at Columbus, Osceola, Lone Tree, and Chapman, we finally reached Grand Island, having explored much intervening territory but found no place that exactly filled the requirements. On the morn- ing of September 19, after having been ad- vised by the late E. W. Arnold to go to Prairie Creek, we secured a team and finally reached our destination. As we entered the limits of township 12, range 11, the first settlement that we discovered was that of Hans Kruger, on the southeast quarter of section 34. Proceed- ing a mile farther we pulled up at the resi- dence of the late Carl Schaub. We also found Judge Garn there. They were delighted with the prospect of our stopping with them and did all in their power to show us the sur- rounding neighborhood. We soon decided to look no farther and at once returned to Grand Island and filed declaratory statements on the north half of section 32 and all of 28. The following day we started on our return to the east where we were to spend the winter. Arriving in Omaha we found one member of the party whom we had lost a day or two before. He had gone back to Osceola and taken up a very desirable quarter section which laid a short distance outside the village. Our six months of furlough having elapsed on March 10, in the following year we started again for the west, this time intending to remain. The number was slightly increased over that which had gone before, and con- sisted of John E. Lewis, L. and William C. Calvert and wife, John Sandford and four year old son Jack, Jacob P. Phipps, Thomas A. Blythe, and myself. Phipps and myself had left our families among friends and they were to follow as soon as arrangements could be made for their residence. We arrived safely at Grand Island and procuring a small

supply of lumber from G. H. Bush, and a few provisions from Cornelius & Peterson, we hit the road for what has since developed into Mayfield precinct. We found the place and within two hours after arrival had built a shanty and were eating supper. Investigation proved that during our absence Peter Clausen had settled near us, also that W. W. Mann, Edward Bussell, E. D. Kent, and possibly others had taken up land and begun improve- ments. There was also a little settlement started below us by George Dean, Z. B. Part- ridge, and others. The summer of 1873 was very seasonable and we broke and planted considerable patches of sod corn which yielded well. During the summer Alex Thompson and C. Lozier settled very near us. I think there were also a few families on and near the bluffs. We did well the first year and the next season a number of people joined us, among them were J. H. Hulett and C. L. Alford. Soon after our arrival we were visited by the school director in the per- son of H. C. Streator. He informed us that we were a part and parcel of the present Cameron district. I think the unmber is 14.

During the latter part of the summer of 1873 we had built some sod houses and in the last days of September the families of Phipps and myself joined us. We felt then that we were at home. As the time for elec- tion of county officers approached we decided that we would exercise our right of suffrage. So we drove to the site of old Wood River station and saved the nation. I do not re- member the names of the candidates.

The next year the grasshoppers devoured the corn crop. At this we realized that every- . thing was not coming our way, but necessity is a stern master and we had but to wait for the opening of another spring and begin hop- ing for better crops. This was another year of but moderate success but we raised enough grain to subsist on. Notwithstanding the failures people kept coming in, and we soon had quite a settlement and most of them provded to be excellent people. For a few years times were somewhat better, but little progress was made in financial conditions.

Most of those who came remained, a few be- coming discouraged and seeking greener fields.

About '76 or '77 efforts were made to have some kind of religious services and for a time Rev. Trefran exponded the Word in the old sod school house in district 36. Later Charles Ridell served for a time but when Mrs. E. C. Avery bought a half of section 29 and settled on it she went to work to have regular serv- ices and soon had a Methodist class organized and Rev. Jeptha Marsh was, I think, the first pastor who was regularly appointed. In the fall of '79 it was decided that a church build- ing was needed and in July, 1880, the old Berwick church was dedicated. It was situ- ated on the southwest corner of J. L. Hulett's farm and was used till Cairo was built and the present edifice erected there.

The necessity for school privileges was soon recognized, and during the winter of '73 dis- trict 36 was organized. I think, however, the school in the Partridge district was provided for first. At any rate in the spring and summer of '74 we had two schools in our immediate vicinity. The voting places were soon made much more convenient. For sev- eral years Harrison and Mayfield voted as one precinct and the polls were held at Run- nelsburg. There ware many hard tussels in the caucuses and elections of those days. Mayfield particularly was about equally di- vided between the Democrats and the Repub- licans and battles of national importance were often fought out here.

Among the early landholders of Mayfield precinct were :

Geo. McNair, Walter P. Kellogg, Philip Kranz, C. L. Alvord, Ebert Corbin, J. C. Bishop, Levi O. Watson, Levi Cox, Chas. A. Moore, Wm. Haynes, H. Tighmeyer, L. O. Watson, F. M. Hillenbrandt, Jas. Hulett, Jesse Boring, H. C. Kroeger, Robert Taylor, Harry Rosswick, Ira T. Paine.

Among the early landholders of South Loup precinct were :

Michael Kyne, W. B. Waite, John Glore, W. B. White, Jas. M. Borglunn, Geo. Hodson, Wm. H. West, H. D. Aiken, C. M. William-

PRAIRIE CREEK TOWNSHIP

Mat Rauert has contributed the following in relation to the early settlement of Prairie Creek township :

The first settlers of Prairie Creek township were Peter Mohr, who later moved to Grand Island, Peter Holling, who later removed to the vicinity of Wood River, George Spencer, deceased, and Danance Dickinson. They came in the spring of 1871 and later in the same year Eli Barnes, Hans Moeller, Nichols, James and Mat Rauert, Nic Depue, Henry Kruse, and Peter Thompson came to swell the settlement. In 1872 George Nollen, Robert Kinkle, Peter Wingert, and Mr. Lan- field cast their lots with the new settlers.

It was many years before the northern part of this township was settled, but along the banks of Prairie Creek a thrifty settlement soon sprang up which organized school dis- tricts, built bridges, and connected their settle- ments with the railroad at Grand Island and Alda. Game was quite plentiful during the early days especially in the sand hills north and during the drought and grasshopper periods the settlers divided their time between hunting deer and antelope and snaking cedar post out of the canyons along the Loup River, for sale in Grand Island, and this was almost the only means by which "cash money" could be secured. At that time the Indians coming through on their annual hunts from the Loup rivers to the Platte and Republican south were frequently visitors of the early settlers, but never hostile and only by their thieving and begging did they give much con- cern to the early settlers.

The first settlers of Prairie Creek township were :

Peter Mohr, Peter Holling, who later re- moved to the vicinity of Wood River, George J. Spencer, Dennis Dixon. They came in the spring of 1871. Later came Eli A. Barnes, Samuel M. Schisler, Hans Moeller, Nicholas, James and Mat Rauert, Nicholas M. Depue, Joseph F. Proctor, Henry Kruse, Claus H. Wiese, Peter Thompson, I. P. Beagle, Capt. W. W. Thompson, James Baldwin and A. Baldwin, Isaac L. Messeraul, George Nowlan, Robert Kinkle, Peter Wingert, Anna M. Weeks, John Lanphere, Mr. Barlow, William C. Dean, John Trimble, Mr. Burton and William E. Preston. Mr. Trefren, George and Luther, settled on December 20. With these settlers closes the year 1872. Then came Wesley Milhollen, Thomas Hosler, John Lee and Adam Hessel. School district num- ber 18 composed Prairie Creek township, Oth- man A. Abbott county superintendent of schools. The first school officers were Eli A. Barnes, moderator, Joseph F. Proctor, treasurer, and John Lanphere, director. The school house was built on the homestead of Eli A. Barnes by James Tout, later of Grand Island. Then the district was divided and the school house moved on northeast corner of George Nowland's homestead, where it now stands.

Other early settlers in the Prairie Creek vicinity were Joe Kilian, John Mader, Jim Baldwin, Henry Schisler. The town of Abbott was formed out of section 30 of this township. In recent years the Robert Taylor ranch has grown to such proportions that the portion of it which lies within Prairie Creek township constitutes over a third of the area of the township.

A roster of some of the landholders in Prairie Creek township prior to 1890 will show other early settlers than those already named :

CENTER TOWNSHIP

With the settlement of Cay Henry Ewoldt, one of the original colony of 1857, within the present confines of Center township, in 1862, this township can point almost as far back for the beginnings of its history as its neigh- boring townships.

Mr. Ewoldt increased his original purchase until he acquired a fine farm of around 500 acres of magnificent land. Martin Schimmer acquired holdings in Center township at an early day. Jacob Shoemaker came in about 1866 or 1867. Other early settlers in this township were Henry Grabach, John Green- field, C. P. Rathbun, Wm. C. Mullen, William Fishburn, F. W. Hessel and Adam Hessel, G. J. Squires, and William McLellan.

A roster of those who owned land in the township prior to 1890 shows, among others :

A. B. Perkins, Chas. Wasmer, C. A. Von Wasmer, E. S. Lamon, Ira T. Paine, H. H. Vocke, E. B. Engleman, Jas. H. Ring, A. Simon, Lara O. Thompson, Fritz Langman, H. Kruse, Jas. McGuire. J. R. Alter, D.

Hofmeister, George Richard, Charles Nichols, Ira Nichols, John W. Pence, S. H. Ferguson.

ALDA TOWNSHIP

The settlement of the present Alda town- ship begins back almost next to Washington township.

W. G. Eldridge located in Hall County on May 20, 1859, on the northeast quarter of section 14, town 10, 1ange 11. The country was then decidedly sparsely settled. The near- est neighbors on the west were eight miles away. Buffalo, deer, antelope, wolves, and Indians roamed over the vast treeless plains with wild freedom, undaunted by the ap- proach of any white neighbors. A few hun- dred Indians camping near Mr. Eldridge's humble habitation was not an unusual oc- currence. He erected the first dwelling in the fall of 1859. Mr. Eldridge, the father of the Alda community, was a native of Lafayette, Indiana, born on December 23, 1882. He moved to Middleport, Illinois, at the age of twenty-one and carried on a harness shop until 1856. He went to Kansas then and without any permanent place of settlement traded ponies and horse with Indians and whites alike. Returning to Indiana in the winter of 1858, he stayed only long enough to get started for Nebraska in March, 1859. He was married in Hall County, in the fall of 1860 to Miss S. S. Shinton, a native of England. They had five children, Annie E. who became the wife of Warren Winslow, Jessie N., Mary I., Jasper J., and Fannie A.

Squire Lamb came to this part of the coun- try in 1858. The Reese family came in 1860. In the meantime John Thomssen, one of the thirty-five members of the colony which set- tled near Grand Island in 1857, was married in 1860 to the one single lady who had ac-

companied the original colony to Hall County. ment of the Alda community was Hon. Z. H. During the year 1860 this bridal couple set- teled down and became pioneers of the pres- ent Alda township. Mr. and Mrs. N. V. Hansen settled on a place adjoining the Thomssen's. Other very early settlers were John Ring and two sons, John House and family, the Hann family, Henry Garn, and Charles and Arthur Lamberson. Francis Corkins came from Illinois to this part of Hall County in the fall of 1867. He worked through that neighborhood until 1875, then was married to Miss Harriet E. Smith and took a soldier's homestead.

W. H. Norton came to this part of the county in 1867. He worked on the Union Pacific railroad during the summers of 1867 and 1868, then settled down on section 14, town 10, range 11. W. W. Mitchell came to Alda vicinity in 1871 and two years later embarked in business in Pawnee, now Alda.

Other settlers in this vicinity prior to the

. early seventies were :

Wm. Thomssen, Henry Stelk, 1859, Squire Lamb, Henry Lamb, Carl Baasch, 1866, Cath- arina Buettner, 1863, Fritz Wiese, 1869, Henry Wiese, 1871, Otto Wiese, 1871, J. Knuth, 1870, J. S. Denman, 1871, William Powell, 1869, George L. Rouse, 1873, Claus Stoltenberg, in the county in 1859.

Claus Stoltenberg came to Hall County in April, 1859. He was a native of Holstein, Germany, born September 2, 1832, and grew to manhood in his native land. He emigrated to America in 1856, and after spending some time in New York and in Wisconsin, he came to Nebraska and spent a year and a half in Omaha. He entered 160 acres of land, but afterwards acquired more land around him. He was married here December 6, 1862, to Miss Esther Paustean, a native of Holstein, Germany. They had six thildren, Alwine (wife of Claus Tagge, of Grand Island), Edward, Ferdinand, Cecile (wife of Bern- hard Wise, of Rock County, Nebraska), Wil- helmine and Car1.

Z. H. DENMAN

One of the very active men in the develop-

Denman, Sr. He came to Hall County in August, 1871. He was born in Licking County, Ohio, March 26, 1834, and there he attended the district schools during the winter months and assisted his father on the farm in summer months until he was nineteen years of age, when he left to attend Martinsburg College, from which institution he graduated. In his twenty-fourth year he was married to Miss Harriett Robinson of Newark, Ohio. He then settled down to farming in his native county, and while there held the office of county surveyor. In 1864 he moved to Mc- Lean County, Illinois, and engaged in tilling the soil there until his removal to Hall County. He located thirteen miles southwest of Grand Island and at once set energetically to farm- ing and raising stock. He gradually increased his acreage, until he became the owner of several hundred acres and a large amount of stock. He devoted his time to the affairs of the community as well as to his own farming operations. For many years he held the posi- tion of county supervisor from Alda precinct. In 1882 he was chosen by the people of the county to represent them in the state legislat- ure, which position he filled with honor to himself and his constituents. He was presi- dent of the Hall County Agricultural Society in 1889. His death occurred very suddenly at the age of fifty-five years.

Mr. Denman was but one member of a family that has left its impress upon the history of Hall County. W. H. Denman, J. A. Denman, Z. H. Denman, Jr., James S. Denman, H. C. Denman, J. Denman, W. C. Denman, C. W. Denman, were among his brothers, sons and nephews who have all made a remarkable record in the development of Alda township and Hall County generally.

Among the early settlers of Alda township who were landowners before 1890, were:

William Wrage, Henry Knuth, Z. H. Den- man, Sr., W. H. Denman, J. A. Denman, Z. H. Denman, Jr., J. Denman, A. C. Denman, W. C. Denman, Jas. S. Denman, C. W. Den- man, H. C. Denman, Claus Stoltenberg, John Thomssen, Sr., Henry Lamb, N. V. Hansen,

WASHINGTON PRECINCT

The history of the first settlement of Wash- ington township is covered in detail in the narratives of the first colony, by William Stolley, Fred Hedde, and Christian Menck. The first colony settled in Washington town- ship and the story of the first ten years of the history of Hall County, as told by those venerable pioneers, mainly is the history of Washington township.

Out of this township grew and developed the great city of Grand Island, but neverthe- less there remains many interesting stories of development in Washington township outside of Grand Island. The roll of early settlers in the south part of the township has been in- cluded in the roster of those south of the Platte River. A roster of those who owned land in Washington township north of the river on or before 1890 presents many names that are more than familiar in the develop- ment of the city of Grand Island also:

LAKE TOWNSHIP

William Guenther has contributed the fol- lowing short account of the early settlement of Lake township:

When we first located in Lake township, in 1872, there was nothing to obstruct the view over the rolling prairies. Not a tree was visible. Here and there was a settler, but they were few and the small buildings erected by them were very scarce.

On April 13, 1873, there was a snow storm which I shall never forget. Snow fell con- tinuously for three days. One could not see three feet ahead. The settlers had big losses · through this storm. This visitation was soon followed by the grasshopper sieges - several years in succession. The pest devoured all of the corn, oats, and wheat that was planted and in course of maturing. The atmosphere was so filled with them that the sun was no more visible.

Prairie fires were another source of great danger to the early settlers in this township.

They sometimes came with such rapidity that it was difficult to get out of their way or start back fires and save what little property we had. I remember one particular incident well. I was taking a load of hay from my farm to Grand Island. The fire came from the south- west and in an angle with the St. Paul road. Chas. Stolley came and called to me, asking me to take him along and out of danger. We were compelled to urge the horses into their utmost speed to get out of range of the ad- vancing fire, and finally made it.
