District No. 44-District No. 44 was organized in 1870 with John W. Headrick, Z. H. Riggs and William Lee as members of the first board. Charles Rinhart was the first teacher and was followed by Reuben Messler. now of Falls City. Other early teachers were Earl Lemmon, William Steven- son, Mr. Bissell, Ida Cornell and Mollie Andrews. Only one school house has been built. Samuel Lee, J. O. Lyons and Douglas Lee attended the first school in the district, and reside in the district at the present time. The school is now named the Chafin school.

District No. 46-District No. 46 was organized on June 30, 1869. Members of the first board were William Kinsey, N. R. Wickham and Isaac Clark. In February, 1870, it was voted to build a school house. The first teacher was Miss Clara Davis. D. D. Houtz and Mrs. Dora Kinney Arnold, former teachers, still live in the district. The present school house was built in 1891. The largest attendance was sixty-two at the time Alvia Kinney was the teacher. In the early days only chalk was furnished. In the opinion of our contributor, Mrs. Clark, the methods of teaching and governing were far behind those of today. The teacher usually boarded with some family in the district and paid about two dollars a week for

District No. 47-The first school district organized in this county was organized before Nebraska was a state. Its first number was 2, afterwards being changed to 47, thus making it the second oldest school in the county. At first embraced all the country from the Nemaha on the south to the county line on the north and west to the township line between Ohio and Liberty, including the west half of Falls City, Ohio and Barada townships. But fifteen pupils were enumerated at first by W. H. Mark. The first school house was built in 1856 or 1857, each patron contributing a few logs. The frame work was well covered with sod. It was located on W. G. Goolsby's farm. . The first teachers were Cyrus Bartlett, G. W. Walters. P. A. Tisdal. E. E. Cunningham and Rosa J. Cooper. . A part of one term was taught by a man who appeared to be an outlaw, by his actions. He kept a double-barrel shotgun with him all the time and at noon would hide in the brush. Finally someone told him that the officers were after him and that was the last seen or heard of him. W. A. Campbell. W. H. Mark and W. G. Goolsby were members of the first school board. Mrs. C. C. Parsons taught one term at her own home and one term in a room of ... W. Frank's building before there was a school house in the district. There have been two school houses built, the first about 1867-68 and the second. in 1880. Among the early teachers were Mahala Cooper, Nellie . Rockwell, Emeline Lewis, Melissa Yantiss, D. D. Houtz, Spencer Hammer, Thomas Wilson, Mary Frank, Lesley Lewis, Linnie Frank, James Anderson, J. W. Stump. Emma Lawrence, Belle Newcomer, Charles Slagle, Rebecca Culley. Charles Melvin, Belle Parsons, H. M. Lint, Maggie A. Peck, Lula Sloan, H. J. Prichard and Jincie Finders. E. O. Lewis was living in this district when he was elected county clerk early in the nineties. John R. Dowty of this district served in the Legislature and D. D. Houtz was elected county superintendent while a resident of the district. The enrollment of the school is now the smallest of any school in the county.

District No. 48-School district No. 48 was organized on May 20, 1869, and Ralph Anderson was chosen director: William Maddox, moder- ator, and J. F. Catron, treasurer. But one school house has been built in the district, and that was built in 1869 at a cost of six hundred and fifty dollars, size, twenty by twenty-four by nine feet. Ray Taylor taught a school in this district for a few months in 1861. A decade or more ago the attendance dwindled to such a small number that the patrons decided to close the school temporarily and send their children to the Falls City public schools. This arrangement proved so satisfactory from every stand- point that it has been continued and is very likely to continue indefinitely. The district still maintains its organization and site, but the old school house is gone. The teachers from 1869 to 1893 were Mary Martin, W. R. Crook, Isaac Rhine, A. S. McDwell, Emeline Lewis, J. G. Crook, Allie Fisher, B. F. Crook, Chloe Truesdal, Alla Church, John Hershberger, Ida Cornell, Frances Kingman, E. E. Brown, Bell Newcomer. Lydia Williams. May Maddox, Helen Turnbull, Nora Womser, Lillie Eichelberger. Maud VanDeusen. Jennie Newcomer, Fannie Birdsley, Mamie Hutchings, Nettie Wills. Dora Richards, Mary Carico and Frank Schaible.

District No. 50-This district was first known as district No. 2. In the spring of 1865 the residents of this district met at Thomas Harpster's house and organized a school meeting. Charles Montgomery was elected director ; Thomas Harpster, moderator, and Paul Augustine, treasurer. A site was selected for the school house and the meeting adjourned. The di- rector reported the proceedings to Charles Mann, the county clerk and acting county superintendent, and he organized the territory represented at the meeting at district No. 2. The district was three miles wide, north and south, and five miles long, east and west, containing about fourteen sections of land in all. On August 10, 1866. Superintendent Williams notified Director Kaiser that district No. 2 would thereafter be known as district No. 50. The residents of the district hanled cottonwood logs from the Missouri river bottoms that year and erected the body of the school house on the selected spot. But it was never completed and for a time all interest in the school abated. After the district was divided the building was made use of by the other district. In May. 1867, a school meeting was called for the purpose of dividing the district. At this meeting there was a ma- jority of one opposed to dividing the district, but the action of the district was rendered indecisive by the director forgetting to vote. producing a tie. The matter was adjusted in 1868 and the superintendent appointed the

368

following officers of the new district : Jerome Wiltse, director; Fritz Wachter, moderator, and William Heater, treasurer. A special meeting was called, a school tax voted and the present site of the school house selected. Wil- liam Heater donated by deed one acre of land. Paul Augustine built the school and equipped it with furniture for six hundred and fifty dollars. The measurements were twenty-six by twenty by twelve feet. George Shock was the first teacher, followed by Mr. Noise. Some of the earlier teachers were Messrs Plumb, French, Choot, Brown, Stratton, Daughters, Lason, Reed, Newcomer, Frank Revelle, Albert and Clarence Wiltse, and Misses Maria Montgomery, Emma Martin, Lambert, Spoonamore, Raleigh, Jessie Cameron, Emma Lawrence, Long and Carney. The school house was burned in 1884. After much contention another was built in 1886. The school today has a splendid enrollment and is a prosperous school.

District No. 51-J. Kloepfel has kindly given us a few items con- cerning district No. 51. Augusta Burchard was the first teacher. N. Auxier, now county commissioner, was one of the early teachers. Will Jones, Wil- liam Wallace, Charles French, Eva Scott, H. L. Kloepfel and James and Mary Wiltse were other early teachers. The highest enumeration was one hundred and six. It is not definitely known when the district was organized.

District No. 55-District No. 55 was organized in 1865. Joe Forney and Albert Dickison were members of the first board. Austin Sloan was the first teacher. R. R. Hanna, Mrs. Otto McLane and John Powell at- tended the first school. Previous to the school in 1865 a neighborhood school was held and was taught for a few years by the late George Abbott's sister. The second school house was built in 1872 and the third one in 1907. Charles Sloan taught the second school in the district and Messrs. Hamin and Anderson the third and fourth. The attendance always was good and the salary paid in the early days was twenty-five dollars. Many of the earlier teachers boarded with R. R. Hanna's father. In thirty-five years R. R. Hanna has missed but a year or two of having served consecutively for that length of time. The school is now called Lakeside.

District No. 73-The first school in district No. 73 was held for three months during the winter of 1869-70, on the Ransom or Irving place. The first teacher was Miss Cooper. The school officers were Messrs. Hall, Ran- som and Pirtle. The second term was for a period of twelve weeks during the winter of 1870-71, and was taught by Abby Dunn, now Mrs. George Slayton. A part of the Pirtle house was used for the school house. At that time twenty-one pupils were enrolled, the oldest being Tom Pirtle and

the youngest, Jim Kelly. Each pupil had to furnish his own split-bottom chair and most of them came to school on horseback. The second school closed with a dinner and performances on horseback by the boys. The first school house was built in the early seventies. Later it was moved away and is now used by Jess Shaw as a corn crib. I. Shirley, of Humboldt : George Saville, of Lincoln; Lina Shirley, of Lincoln; Emma Grinstead Hoff ; Mrs. Anna Smith Wertz, Florence Jones, of Auburn; Sadie and Lula Jones, of Fairbury, and Maynard Stitzer, of Salem, are prominent citizens who obtained a portion of their education in district No. 73. Teachers now living in the county who have taught here are Belle Smith, Florence Saville, Ola Crook, Nora Lamerance, Oscar Rhoades, Audrey Wileman, Grace Ken- nedy, May Gagnon and Anna McCool. Some of the early teachers were Miles Jones (later county superintendent), Florence Jones, Pearl French, Mrs. C. A. Stewart, Emma Boose, Letha Crook, Lula Lawler, Mary Browne, and Hubert Shirley. The present school house was built in 1887. Mrs. C. A. Stewart is the only teacher living in the district at the present time. It has been her privilege to have boarded nearly all of the teachers for a decade or more and she has pleasant recollections of many of them.

District No. 76-(Stella Public Schools). The first school in Stella was begun in July, 1884, in the Ferguson & Coldren Hall and continued with but one week's vacation until the following June. A school house was built during the summer of 1885 on the hill southeast of town. This structure was struck by lightning in 1888 and a new building was erected during the same summer. At first only two teachers were employed, but gradually this number has been increased until at the present time there are four teachers in the grades and three in the high school. In 1898, the congested condition of the school house caused another small building to be erected on Vine street for the primary pupils. Realizing that the old school house and equipment were not adequate to the growing needs of the busy little town, bonds were voted a few years ago, and a fine brick build- ing was erected, which is one of the finest, mnost up-to-date and best-equipped school houses in the state. The district is small and the enrollment is not as large as it should be. In the high school more than fifty per cent. of the pupils are non-residents.

District No. 77-This district was organized in 1869, the first meeting being held at the residence of J. S. Ewing, with fifteen voters in attendance. J. S. Ewing was elected moderator: W. D. Price, director, and E. Cooper.

treasurer. Like most of the school districts. district No. 77 was formed from surrounding districts, mostly from the one southwest, known as Fair- view. There has been but one school house erected, the present one, which is thirty by twenty-two feet in dimensions and cost six hundred dollars. It was built in 1872. A new school house is needed now and will probably be built in the near future. The first school was taught by Miss Carrie Howe in a log house located on the northeast quarter of section 13. Other early teachers were T. L. Lewis, G. W. Crouch, B. P. Chute. A. C. Troup, Landon Yantiss, D. D. Houtz, Mary Jones, Emma Shouse, Linnie Frank, Cammie Hall, Lenora Cornell. B. B. Davis, L. L. Linderman, Julia Smeade, J. W. Stump. W. G. Fisher, Mr. Leively, H. H. Pugh, J. R. Reed, W. Van Wyrner, Della Marion, Nettie Wills, Abbie and Susan Melvin, Linnie Frank, Hoke Simpson, Carrie and Lowell Leslie, Emerson Bowers and H. B. Kleeberger. The salaries paid the teachers averaged nearly thirty dollars. Oliver Fuller, of this district, was supervisor of this county for a number of years. Somewhere between 1863 and 1869 a postoffice was located two miles east of here and named Elmore, and shortly afterward moved near the present location of the school house, and in 1869 moved to the log house, where school was first taught and shortly afterward, when Verdon started as a town, was discontinued. While the postoffice was held in the log house, Isaac Cooper was postmaster. The school house was used for public meetings and gatherings of every nature and was in truth the com- munity social center.

District No. 79-This district was organized in the early seventies. exact date unknown. Members of the first board were W. W. Abbey, L. J. Hitchcock and William Cook. The new school house was built about twenty-two years ago. Mary Jones, who afterward married Oliver Fuller. was one of the first pupils. Some of the earlier teachers were John Den- nings and Emma Lawrence, the latter of whom is now holding a position in the school for feeble-minded at Beatrice. The attendance has fluctuated. ranging from eight to sixty. The building is ideally located and is in excellent repair. It is almost completely equipped.

District No. 95-This district was organized in 1877. The members of the school board were William Fenton, Stephen C. Barlow and William Knipe and the first teacher was D. W. James. The first school session was held in the town hall. A frame school house was built in 1880 and was succeeded by a brick structure in 1901, the frame building having been burned in 1900. The first class was graduated from the high school ( Daw-

son ), in 1891. Among the prominent men who received their elementary education in the Dawson schools are: Dr. Bryan M. Riley, an instructor in Creighton Medical College; O. W. Belden, an attorney at Lewistown, Montana ; Dan J. Riley, attorney and banker, of Dawson; Charles J. Allen, of Chicago; Dr. H. A. Waggener, Omaha; Dr. W. R. Waggener, Hum- boldt; Dr. J. T. Waggener, Adams, Nebraska; Dr. Walter Draper, Manilla, Iowa; Willard Thomas, county superintendent of schools, South Dakota: May Thomas, educator in Moody Institute, Chicago; A. Edward Thomas, an educator in Canada; E. E. Barlow, of San Diego, California, and Lillith Waggener, a teacher at Hamburg, Iowa.

District No. 99-Previous to the organization of district No. 99, one term of school was taught by Julia Richards White, in 1879. Her school room was a little dwelling owned by P. R. Shelly. Soap boxes were used for seats and shoe boxes for desks. On account of the distance from town the school was moved to the David Quinlan place, a quarter of a mile from Preston. Mrs. Ellen Higgins Rawley taught there two terms, in 1880, and Alma Quinlan, in 1881. The school district was organized in 1880 and the following officers were elected: D. M. Craig, moderator ; .A. J. Cair, director ; John Pyle, Sr., treasurer. The first school house built in the district was erected in 1889. It was twenty-four by twenty-eight by fourteen feet, and cost five hundred dollars. The district soon grew in population and the old building was found inadequate for the needs of the school. Consequently, a number of years ago, a splendid two-room building was erected on a fine elevated site in the heart of Preston. This building amply suffices for all the needs and is a decided credit to the town. Some of the earlier teachers were Winona Jones Wardell, Carlos Wiltse. Ilattie Merritt, Mrs. C. A. Brown, Joe Bagnell, Isaiah Kratz, Ada Abbott. James Martin, Judge Joseph, May Maddox, Emma Lawrence, Henry Lint. John E. Sullivan, R. H. Langford and Susan Gehling. P. R. Shelly, of this district, was a candidate for state representative in the fall of 1889. but was defeated by ten votes.

CHAPTER XIV.

CHURCHES OF RICHARDSON COUNTY. Compiled by David D. Reavis.

Persecution of sects for their religious beliefs, led to some of the earliest settlements made in this great republic. In the olden time the man of God worshiped with his rifle within easy reach, and the parishioner was the sturdy, but determined settler, who had left the mother country that he might enjoy the privilege of worshiping God according to the dic- tates of his own conscience. And so it has been that the church played such a powerful part in the early history of our county.

In the early settlement of this county the pioneer came to church with his ox-team and Bible, after a week's work converting a desert into a habit- able ground. The Sabbath was spent in cultivating the soul and holding the mind and heart in line with the Creator. The preacher's auditors wore home-spun garments and his pulpit was perhaps a rough hewn slab. His Christianity was pure and sincere, and his teachings earnest and effective. The simple prelate of those days gave his services to Christianity. look- ing only for his reward at the hands of his Master on that day when his life's work was done. The church history of a locality is inseparable from its growth and development. Church influence is felt in business, in government and educational institutions, and in everything that goes to make up a prosperous and moral community.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.

The church history of Richardson county commenced simultaneously with the coming of the pioneers, as does the history of all such movements. The first immigration of importance brought many early settlers from An- drew county, Missouri, in 1856, and among them was Wingate King, spoken of with great reverence by all who knew him, and who was a Methodist preacher. He pre-empted a quarter section of land near the townsite of Falls City and immediately organized a church society that held their meet- ings in the natural groves along Muddy creek. There was such a society on the old Isaac Crook farm, afterwards better known as the old Martin

374

RICHARDSON COUNTY, NEBRASK.I.

farm, and one on the old Catron farm, lately owned by W. M. Maddox. It was here in nature's temples that many prayers were offered by earnest people for the success of the Union army during the bloody Civil War. Henry T. Davis, that saint of early Methodism in Nebraska, was a notable figure in camp-meeting days.

There were no church buildings erected in Falls City until 1867. Church was held in different places. J. R. Cain told me that the first time he attended church in a building was in Falls City, in 1860, accompanied by Mrs. Sarah Wilhite, in the law office of Isham Reavis, a little old building that stood near where Lyford's store building now stands-lot I, block 90. Rev. Ray Taylor was the Methodist minister holding the service. The Method- ists perfected the first religious organization that I can discover in Richard- son county, Rev. David Hart was stationed in Archer in 1865. and moved the appointment to Falls City. In 1867 the society purchased the ground upon which the present edifice stands and erected the first church building in the county. It was a pretentious affair and had a steeple in which a church bell was to be hung. This bell was the source of much endeavor and enterprise. Since there was no money in the country, the hardy pio- neers were determined to overcome all obstacles and immediately set out on the enterprise of providing the funds for a bell. This was done mostly by the ladies, who organized the mite society which met regularly every week at first one house and another, each one bringing his or her mite towards the payment of the purchase price of the bell. . After a time the bell was secured, and the raising of it into its place was the occasion of public interest and rejoicing. Mrs. W. M. Mann was one of the principal workers in this direction and, upon the occasion of the tin wedding anni- versary of Mr. and Mrs. Mann, March 15, 1869, E. S. Towle, in presenting the present of the evening, said this among other things: "Our church, which rears its tapering spire towards the vault of Heaven was pushed onward towards completion as much, if not more, by your individual efforts and persistent energy, than by those of any other person. Our festivals of the past year, around which so many pleasant memories cluster and linger and which were mostly conceived in your brain and executed by your hand, have had their fruition in the bell which, on every Sabbath day, rolls its deep tones over our prairie homes, ringing the death knell of frontier barbarism and ushering in the long-wished-for era of the star of empire and religion ; besides carrying us back in spirit, at least, to the happy Eastern homes of our childhood."

The first church building was erected during the pastorate of Rev. W. . \. Presson. The succeeding ministers, as I remember them, were: Reverend Pritchard, Lemon, May, Britt. Crosthwaith, Adams, Sleeth, Slavens, Hobbs and Gallagher. It was during the second pastorate of the last one named that the new brick church, which stands on the site of the old one. was erected at a cost of ten thousand dollars, and is one of the most hand- some and commodious church buildings in the city. The corner stone of the new building was laid in 1892 and the services conducted by Revs. L. F. Britt and John Gallagher, two of the strongest men in pioneer Methodism that the state has produced. This first Methodist Episcopal church, which is the largest congregation in the county, has recently installed an elegant pipe organ. The church property, including the parsonage, is now valued at thirty-thousand dollars.
