GRAND ISLAND GENERAL HOSPITAL

The Grand Island General Hospital,' an ex- cellent addition to the city and a splendidly arranged and equipped institution, was founded and built largely as a result of the tireless energy and enterprise of Dr. P. C. Kelley, then of Alda. Dr. Kelley felt that Grand Island needed a second hospital and he didn't stop until it was an accomplished fact. He served as the first president of the institu- tion. Upon a reorganization and shifting of the stock, D. M. Douthett of Lincoln, became president. Dr. Kelley, the first president, served as speaker of the Nebraska house of representatives in 1913. Mr. Douthett, the present president of this institution while living at Overton, Dawson County, served his district as state senator. Frank E. Slusser is secretary of the company which owns the building, and the institution is now leased to Miss Bertha Bryant, who is superintendent of the hospital. The directors of the company are Messrs. Douthett, Slusser, C. H. Tully. S. D. Ross, and Mrs. Dr. Starkey of Wood River. In 1918 this institution handled 740 cases, of which 332 were surgical cases.

DENTISTS OF HALL COUNTY

A quarter-century ago dentistry was not looked upon with the high regard it has at- tained today. It was considered a matter of painful necessity that each person should lose about so many teeth, at stated intervals of life. The idea that extraction of teeth could be performed, practically painlessly, and that fillings of various ingredients could be so skill- fully placed in teeth as to both save the tooth itself and be practically beyond detection had never occurred to most people. The further advanced theory that a study of medicine

and anatomy by a dentist might enable him to diagnose many of the disorders of the system and suggest a course of dieting, con- duct, or care which would correct many of these ills and preserve the teeth, and prevent more serious complications of the digestive system and other functions of the human system was even further away from the gen- eral human mind. But all of these things have transpired. The rise of dentistry has been steadily becoming a fact, until today it is a necessary profession to every community of any size.

For a period of years, one early leader in the profession of dentistry stood preeminently at its representative in Hall County,

DR. HOWARD C. MILLER,

who was born in Lewis County, New York, January 15, 1859, a son of Isaac S. and Sarah A. (Stone) Miller. He attended school at Rome, New York, and in 1879 began the study of dentistry at Camden, New York, in the office of Dr. A. T. Van, and continued to pursue this study in the office of Dr. G. W. Wertz, of Omaha, coming to Grand Island in October, 1881. Until his death in 1914 he continued the practice of dentistry in Hall County, and was then dean of the profession in this county. As early as 1888 he was recog- nized by the dentists of the state as one of the leaders of the profession in Nebraska and was elected president of the Nebraska State Dental Society, of which he was one of the "fatherly" promotors. He served his national society of dentists, and was recognized nationally in clinical work and in the theories and practices of his profession and upon his death the dental journals of the country expressed a sincere regret for the profession's loss. He took a very active part in the establishment of lodges and societies in the community, and during the latter part of his life served as postmaster of Grand Island.

D. A. FINCH

Succeeding Dr. Miller, Dr. D. A. Finch be- came the dean of the dental profession in Hall County. He had studied dentistry in

the office of Doten & Martin, of Camden, N. Y., and upon his preparation for practice he followed Dr. Miller to Grand Island and be- gan practice in Hall County in 1885, and after thirty-four years of service to the people of this county still maintains a practice of such proportions it puzzles him to secure suf- ficient leisure for the pleasures of life. It will be noted in this chapter that many of the dentists who are now practicing in Grand Is- land have at one time or another been asso- ciated with either Dr. Miller of Dr. Finch. A more complete biographical sketch of Dr. Finch appears in a later chapter in this work.

BETWEEN 1885 AND 1896

In 1887 Drs. Finch, Miller and F. O. Welker and the offices of Cave Smith & Co. were the dental offices of Grand Island. By 1894 Dr. L. S. Moore had located here. Dr. Moore is still practicing in the Michelson block, and with his son Dr. J. Ross Moore who is now associated with him they have fitted up one of the most modern and splendidly equipped offices in the state.

1896 TO DATE

The Dental Register of Hall County opened January 27, 1896. The first name shown is that of Merton E. House, from Dawson County registered August 26, 1897; the next is Wm. H. Romine, from Colfax County, July 21, 1897. The Romine Dental Co. had offices at 119% W. Third At that time the Board of Dental Secretaries of the state were Drs. Geo. S. Nason, president, Howard C. Miller of Grand Island, vice-president and treasurer and Orion T. Lambertson, secretary.

It is reputed that the first court business done for Hall County was transacted at Co- lumbus in 1868. At that time, Lieutenant Governor O. A. Abbott was the only resident practicing attorney of Hall County.

The first record of the district court of Hall County is opened under date of Novem- ber 30, 1868, at Page 1 of Volume 1 of the Dis- trict Court Journal. Judge Lorenzo Crounse, who called this court for the date given on application of the commissioners, was not pres- ent, so the clerk, John Wallichs, adjourned court until December 1st, when the continued absence of the judge occasioned another ad- journment. On December 2, the puzzled clerk, inpatient jurors and lawyers and provoked litigants were greeted with the presence of his honor, who opened the morning sessions, with John Wallichs, clerk, E. F. Gray, dis- trict attorney (who resided at Fremont), and Henry Rose, sheriff. The grand jurors sum- moned for that term of court were Peter Boch, George Canfield, H. Giese, Edward Hooper (foreman), J. Riss, H. Bockman, Edward Keuscher, Hans Knuth, Elijah Lane, Henry . Schoel, A. P. Beaman, J. Crean, P. Moore, J. T. Reese, Edward Gumar and S. Lamb, the last two being excused by the court and Pat- rick Dunphy and Henry Tempke were sum-

moned. The first matter brought for action was the admission of John S. Martin of the Ohio bar to practice in Nebraska, his admis- sion being made upon motion of District At- torney Gray. Mr. Martin resided in Merrick County, and never opened office in Grand Is- land. Henry Schoel, Hans Knuth and Henry Tempke, all grand jurors, were admitted to citizenship. Joachim Doll, John David Schul- ler, Henry Joehnk, John Hann, John Seier, Nicholas O. Hansen, Peter Stuhr, Carl Boehl, George Lounzen and August Thorspecken were also admitted to citizenship. Other mat- ters disposed of at the first day's session were, a continuance in the case of A. C. Mc- Lain vs. Joseph Smith; a judgment against Daniel Freeman for $163.72 in favor of Richard Smith; the overruling of a motion to dismiss the case of assault and battery against Wesley Folsom; a judgment rendered by a jury (of which C. C. Ridell was fore- man) against C. A. Hartzell, in favor of Con- rad Grein, and the dismissal of the suit by Koenig & Wiebe against John Siere. On December 3, the grand jury returned an in- dictment for forgery and one for larceny.

The charge of assault was submitted to a jury, of which Robert Mitchell was foreman, with the result of acquitting Wesley Folsom.

The November, 1868, term of district court was adjourned sine die on December 5, 1868. This term was presided over by Judge Lorenzo Crounse. At that time there were three judges of the Ne- braska Supreme Court. The work of the dis- trict courts of the state was divided into three districts and one of the members of the su- preme court took charge of the particular district in which a county was embraced and handled the trial work for that district. This system continued many years. The first term of Hall County's district court was presided over by a judge who for six years was a supreme judge and chief justice of that court, Judge Crounse, who afterwards served the state as governor.

HOLDING THE FIRST COURT

When Judge Crounse came to Grand Island to hold the first session of court, he had sent word ahead to Sheriff Henry Rose to secure the largest hall. available in town. Sheriff Rose used often to relate that he made search about town among the very few available places, and the only one he could secure was the dining room of the Michelson (Nebraska house) hotel. Court was set for nine o'clock, and the sheriff secured the room upon the understanding that court could run along un- interruptedly until eleven o'clock, then court must "vamoose" and let the corps of years. Martin Schimmer and Hugo Hald be-

With the entrance of Mr. Platt to the Hall County bar, a second figure was brought in to join with Mr. Abbott, both of whose names re- peatedly appear in every form of creditable activity throughout the pages of this story of Hall County's growth and progress. A jury was called to pass upon, and granted the, ap- plication of Fritz Stark to build a mill-dam across Wood River. The first divorce case was begun and ended at this session. Anna Magereth Elsabea Pap had her maiden name of Tiedge restored, and her marriage relations with Johann D. Pap were dissolved upon proof that he had been absent for over two

came citizens. The commencement fees at this term amounted to $35.

THIRD TERM, 1871

The third term was begun May 3, 1871, al- though called for the first Monday in April, an adjournment that had been occasioned by the inability of the judge to be present.

George H. Thummel and Attorney Sparks of Central City were admitted to the bar, and 0. A. Abbott reported that he had examined J. A. Platt and found him qualified for ad- mission to the bar, and moved his admission. A judgment for $971.20 and costs ware as- sessed by the jury against Joseph Smith, and in favor of McLean & Russell. Patrick Nevills, H. Obermiller, H. Garn, P. Peterson, C. D. Mevis, Alev A. Baker, Christian Hann, Carl Hann, Claus Hansen, Theodore Noll, Martin Horn, J. Boehl, John Hays, John Foulks, Jonothan Francis, John Quaine, John Davis, John Bishoff, Louis Engel, August Engle, Fritz Kruse, H. Bauman were admitted to citizenship at this session. The court ap- pointed O. A. Abbott, Geo. H. Thummel and Chas. H. Brown as a committee to examine all applicants for admission to the bar. Mr. Brown was an Omaha lawyer who practiced extensively in Hall County courts at that early date.

Upon motion of Attorney W. H. Platt, W. C. Buderos was admitted to practice. Mr. Buderos practiced at Grand Island for a few years, and figured in many activities before he left the county.

Thomas O'Neil pleaded "guilty" to an in- dictment for manslaughter and Judge Crounse sentenced him to ten hours a day hard labor in the state penitentiary until April 1, 1881. A jury, with W. H. Lamb as foreman, re-

turned a verdict against Hugo Hald and other defendants and in favor of Fritz Stark for $47.86. A case that Wm. Stolley brought against S. S. Canfield was continued. Treas- urer F. A. Wiebe receipted for $45 commence- ment fees for this term.

In January, 1872, D. E. Marler, jailer, was locked in the cell by a prisoner named G. E. Mason, who escaped. Mason had escaped once before, but returned to his warm cell owing to the severity of the weather.

Thereupon the commissioners on April 23, 1873, made an application for a term of dis- trict court, Judge Samuel Maxwell answered on May 12 and set June 30th as the first day. of the June term. Judge Maxwell, who was the second judge to come to Hall County, served for twenty-one years as supreme and district judge in Nebraska.

Harrison and Henry Nunn as attorneys. Mr. Nunn practiced at Grand Is- land for a time and removed to St. Paul, Howard County, but Judge Harrison was a familiar figure to all students of affairs in Hall County, and served in many public offices including chief justice of supreme court of the state, and up to his death in 1919 was an active attorney at the Hall County bar.

1874 COURT WORK

The April term opened with Judge Maxwell presiding, and District Attorney Hoxie, Clerk Wallichs and Wm. A. Deuel as sheriff. The cases taken up were becoming too numerous by this time to allow any very individual treat- ment or mention except of the most unusual cases, for lack of space in this work. W. P.
