UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH IN SEWARD COUNTY. [BY REV. E. W. JOHNSON.]
Rev. E. W. Johnson organized the first church at the Slonecker school-honse, in 1872. This was four miles west of Seward.

HISTORY OF SEWARD COUNTY, NEBRASKA.
The Seward church was organized by Rev. Johnson in 1878. Their church edifice was erected and dedicated in 1880, by Bishop Wright. The present membership is seventy-five.
The church at Slonecker school-house removed their membership to Seward in 1882. Rev. E. W. Johnson was the first pastor, in 1872, and continued in charge until 1875, when Rev. Henry Lahr served the church one year. Rev. P. P. Landen was in charge in 1876, and was followed in 1877 by the Rev. E. L. Austin, when Rev. E. W. John- son was again placed in charge in 1878, and served the church three years. Rev. M. Waltemire was pastor in 1881, and in 1882 Rev. J. M. Eads had charge. In 1883 Rev. O. D. Cone was pastor, and was followed in 1884 by Rev. J. M. Duffield. In 1885 Rev. Cone was again placed in charge, and died while in charge. He was followed by Rev. J. R. Hamer, who completed the year 1885. Rev. J. J. Lohr served in 1886, and was followed by the present incumbent, Rev. F. W. Jones.
A church was organized in 1886 at a school-house in the north part of "B" precinct, by the Rev. Lohr, and in the fall of 1887 the church have undertaken the erection of a house of worship at the new railroad station in "B" town.
Rev. O. D. Cone, who died at the post of duty, was a very worthy and intelligent minister, and was universally honored wherever known, and dearly beloved by all his parishioners. In his death the church sustained the loss of one of its most able and valuable defenders, and the community one of its most highly honored citizens.
[BY REV. F. W. JONES.]
The history of the church in " B" precinct has been a varied one. The United Brethren in Christ has been no exception. The cause has chiefly been the unsettled state of society. That restless spirit that obtains in the western people has led in the past many of the settlers of "B" precinct to seek homes elsewhere, and a large majority of the church membership were among the number. But a better day has dawned on the U. B. church in "B" precinct. It has within the last year taken on a permanent character. In the month of Feb- ruary, 1887, Rev. J. J. Lohr, responding to the pressing calls of the few faithful brethren that were holding the ground against great oppo- sition, held a series of meetings at what is called and known as Bach- elder's school-house near the present railroad station, "B," on the F.,

E. & M. V. R. R. This meeting resulted in a great awakening through- out the community. Many started in the way of a better life. The permanent work of Mr. Lohr at this place is most satisfactory. The result of his labors was the organization of a church of fifteen mem- bers, the most prominent citizens of the community being among the number.
The closing of the conference year, in March following, closed Mr. Lohr's labors at this point. The conference held in Lincoln, Neb., in the same month, appointed F. W. Jones as the successor of Mr. Lohr, and up to this witing he is still in charge of the church. The work has been very prosperous so far this year. The church has a prosperous Sunday-school connected with its work. In August, 1887, the quarterly conference appointed a prospective board of trustees for said church. The names of these trustees are, J. W. Bachelder, W. S. Ford, T. J. Drake, D. T. Johns, and R. Cessna. As we have said, the object was only prospective, but after they, in conjunction with the pastor, had spied out the land, it was decided to proceed at once to build a churel. house, and to locate it in the town of "B." A subscription was circulated for that purpose, and within six days after starting over six hundred dollars were secured.
The style of the building is modern in its architecture. The build- ing when completed will be a neat frame structure, twenty-eight by forty-six feet, fourteen foot studding. The building has a tower in front, eight by twelve, and is about forty-three feet high. The building is now ready to plaster, and will be finished as soon as the spring opens sufficiently. It will cost when completed and furnished about thir- teen hundred dollars. The outlook for the U. B. church in "B" precinct is flattering indeed. The church building will be a credit to the denomination and the community that are working so faithfully in its completion. This church has a bright future before it, and with its efficient and consecrated membership will go forward to bless and help many a weary soul on the way to a better life.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. [BY REV. T. L. SEXTON, D. D. ]
The work of the Presbyterian church in Seward county began very soon after the state was admitted into the Union. On the 25th of July, 1868, the Presbyterian church of Seward was regularly organi-
199

ized by the Rev. William McCandlish, district missionary of the presbytery of Missouri river. The public services on this occasion were conducted by Mr. M. C. Wilson, a licentiate of the presbytery of Huntington, Pa., after which the following named persons were regu- larly organized as the First Presbyterian church of Seward, viz .: David Imlay, Dorcas Imlay, Sarah Ann Brown, Stites Wooley, Mary Ann Wooley, Wm. Imlay, Mary E. Imlay, Mary E. Pierce, Moulton N. Clark, and Louisa Josephine Imlay. David Imlay was elected elder, and Stites Wooley and Moulton N. Clark were chosen deacons. At this time an invitation was extended to Mr. M. C. Wilson to supply the church for one year, in connection with the Presbyterian church of Lincoln, but the records do not show that he accepted. From May 12 to September 2, 1870, Mr. G. B. Smith, a licentiate of Blairsville presbytery, supplied the church, and after completing his seminary course, in 1871, he returned and took permanent charge of the work.
Rev. Geo. B. Smith continued to labor as pastor of the church of Seward and throughout the county till May 1, 1876. The Rev. Chas. S. Marvin had charge of the church from June 1, 1876, to December 5, 1876. Rev. Enoch Benson was the minister in charge from May 1, 1877, to May 1, 1882. Vacant from May 1, 1882, to September 1, 1882. On the 16th of July, 1882, a unanimous call was extended to the Rev. Thos. L. Sexton, of Kossuth, Iowa, which was accepted by him, and he began work on the 1st of September, 1882. The church became self-supporting one year from this date, paying its pastor a salary of $1,000 without any aid from the Home Mission board. After laboring for three years and a half, till March 1, 1886, the Rev. T. L. Sexton resigned his pastorate to accept the position of superintendent of mission work in the state. After hearing several can- didates, the church called the Rev. Alex Darley, of Storm Lake, Iowa, who began work June 1, 1886. This was unfortunate for the church, as it was divided by internal troubles before the expiration of the first year, and part of the members withdrew and organized a Congrega- tional church. After being vacant several months, the Presbyterian church called the Rev. Nathaniel Chestnut, of Missouri Valley, Iowa, who entered upon the work September 11, 1887, and is the present pastor.
During all these years there have been added to the original mem- bers two hundred and fifteen names, many of which represent persons

who have done much in moulding the moral character of the com- munity. Many excellent families have gone forth from this church to render faithful and valuable service in other cities and communi- ties. The present membership is seventy-five.
The Presbyterian church of Tamora was organized September 5, 1880, by Rev. Geo. L. Little, synodieal missionary, with the follow- ing members: Mrs. Margaret Scott, Johnston W. Scott, Mrs. Nan- nie E. Scott, James B. Scott, Mrs. Carrie A. Scott, William Scott, Miss Mary Scott, Miss Anna B. Scott, Mrs. Cora I. Bisset, Mrs. Mary J. Bisset, Geo. W. Parker. Rev. Enoch Benson had charge of the church till January, 1884. Mr. W. C. Brass, a licentiate of the Binghamton presbytery, supplied the church from January to September, 1884. Rev. Oscar B. Thayer had charge from Novem- ber 25, 1884, to November 25, 1885. Rev. B. F. Sharp began work November 29, 1885, and continued till November, 1887. Rev. Mark L. Milford is the present minister. The church building was erected in 1884, and was dedicated November 9, 1884, by Rev. T. L. Sex- ton, of Seward. The church is joined with Staplehurst in one pas- toral charge.
The Presbyterian church of Staplehurst was organized by Rev. Geo. L. Little, synodical missionary, assisted by Rev. E. Benson, on the 16th of April, 1882, with the following named members: W. W. Hoops, Mrs. Lydia J. Hoops, Marcus Riehtmyer, Mrs. Hannah M. Richtmyer, Martin Castle, Mrs. Emma Castle, H. G. Hosford, Mrs. Emma Hosford, Geo. Richtmyer, Miss E. Burhans, Mrs. Rachel MeKay, J. W Gladwish, Mrs. Lena A. Gladwish, Thos. Corr, Mrs. M. Corr, Mrs. E. Young, Albert E. Bradley, Mrs. Mary A. Bradley, Mrs. E. A. Jull, and Mr. Slupe. Nine of these are now left. The church building at Staplehurst was dedicated free from debt on the 29th of October, 1882, the sermon being preached by the Rev. Thos. L. Sexton, at that time the pastor at Seward. Staplehurst has been united with Tamora, and has enjoyed the services of the same ministers, and for the same length of time. The Presbyterian is the only church in the village.
M. E. CHURCH. [BY REV. J. H. PRESSON. ]
The history of Methodism in Seward county commences with its first settlement. It came with the first camp-fires that lit up the groves
201

and prairies, it was found in the hearts of many of the rugged pio- neers, who sang the songs of the Wesleys while they followed the plow that broke the virgin soil. The Methodist itinerant, with his saddle-bags, bible, hymn book, and discipline, helped to lead the ad- vanee of civilization, and to establish in this beautiful land the gospel of the Son of God. Some of this number-preachers and laymen and devoted wives and mothers-have passed over and are numbered among the redeemed. Others are still with us, and are rejoicing in their well-earned victories. They see and enjoy this beautiful land which they have helped rescue from the wilds of nature, and have transformed into a paradise of christian civilization, a land of home and plenty, where God dwells in the hearts of many people, and where all may enjoy the benefits of our blessed christianity.
In the year 1870 Seward was the head of a very large circuit. It was then a place of two or three hundred inhabitants. The preacher was the Rev. C. W. Comstock, his charge consisted of the north half of Seward, west half of Butler, all of Polk, and the north half of York counties. Milford at this time was the head of another large circuit, embracing the south halt of this county, part of Saline and York counties. The Rev. A. Blackwell was the pastor. The entire membership reported living within the bounds above mentioned was (85) eighty-five, except a few who lived in the extreme south-west corner of the county under the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Oliver.
In the spring of 1871 the Rev. Josiah Burlingame was appointed to Seward charge, then a mission, embracing the north-west part of Seward, south-west part of Butler, and all of Polk counties. The society at Seward at this time was the possessor of four lots situated just west of where our high school building now stands. These lots were the gift of Louis Moffitt, the original owner of the town, for the use of the society for a church and parsonage.
Milford this same year was supplied by the Rev. D. C. Brannon, under whose labors a great revival took place, and many of the best families of the town were converted and became members of the church. In 1872 Seward was left most of the year without a shep- herd. In 1873 Rev. A. L. Folden was the pastor. During his ad- ministration the present church, a brick structure, was completed and dedicated. The Rev. Bishop Andrews, who was master of ceremo- nies, found it a hard task to provide for the debt, but through the
202

liberality of a few of the members, some of whom are yet living in this vicinity, the amount asked for was subscribed, and the first M. E. church of Seward county was dedicated to the service of God on the 29th day of December, 1874. Some of the trustees are still living in Seward, among whom is the Hon. W. R. Davis, who with one or two others became personally responsible for the debt, which took a number of years to wipe out. Too much praise can not be given the men and women who did so much for the cause of Christ in those early days.
This same year there was a church built at Milford, under the pastorate of the Rev. John Gallagher.
The Rev. T. L. McLean, who will be kindly remembered by many of the old residents as a man of ability and fine social qualities, served as pastor at Seward during the years 1875-6-7.
In 1878 Rev. J. W. Shank was appointed to Seward. Utica was made an appointment, and attached to Milford, with Thos. H. Worley as pastor. At the close of that year there were reported 184 mem- bers in the county. The parsonage-the main part of it-was built that year. It is amusing now to hear the ladies tell of the various methods used in order to raise money to pay for the home of their pastor. The following preachers have been from time to time ap- pointed since at Seward: Rev. J. P. Roe, Peter Van Fleete, E. J. Willis, G. W. Selby, Geo. M. Morey, and the present pastor, Rev. J. H. Presson. At Milford, Van Fleete, Couffer, Rowe, Badeon, Morrison, and Campbell.
Milford is now an excellent charge, has a good frame church and parsonage valued at $4,000, a membership of 76, and in the midst of a flourishing district of country is bound to soon become a power for good. Utica, as an appointment, embraces at present the town of Tamora, has a neat and comfortable church and commodious parson- age in the town of Utica, and a church building at Tamora valued at $4,000; has over 100 membership, and is building up very rapidly. Many of the best families of both towns find a home and place of worship in the Methodist church. The pastors have been men of courage and ability. Germantown has no church building, and in consequence of this they have had a struggle to maintain themselves, but they have a parsonage and with three other appointments connected, all within this county, she is doing well for the cause of Christ and

Methodism. The membership at present is 100. There are now in the county five churches and five hundred members; seven Sunday- schools, with seventy officers and teachers, and 500 scholars.
REGULAR PREDESTINARIAN BAPTIST CHURCH,
Called New Hope, was constituted by Elder James M. True and Isaiah Wagoner, in the early part of 1884, with twelve constituent members. It now numbers about thirty members, and has as its pastor and moderator, Elder J. M. True, and as deacon, M. A. Mc- Bride. The regular meetings are held on the second Sunday of each month, and the Saturday before, near the Butler county line, in Seward county.

September 6, 1884, E. C. Parkinson resigned the office of Com- mander, and C. C. Jobes, who was then Sen. Vice, was elected to fill the vacancy until the next annual election, which occurred December 6, 1884, by the election of A. H. Edwards as Commander ; A. W. Hageman, Sen. Vice; A. Crawford, Jun. Vice; C. Turner, Surgeon; J. M. Fletcher, Chap .; E. C. Parkinson, Q. M .; Lee Welden, O. D .; T. B. Siddons, O. G .; W. H. Walker, Adjt. This year was a pleas- ant one with the veterans. They added many needed improvements to the post room, gathered in members, and got the post on a firm foundation. The following were mustered in during the year : John N. Halliday, John W. Gladwish, S. M. Caldwell, B. Smith, Rev. T. L. Sexton, C. Dunn, C. H. Goldsmith, W. P. Christian, M. D. Monley, Alf. Wilcox, Chas. Scribner, H. G. Hosford, W. R. Davis, E. Faust, W. J. Eatinger, Geo. W. Anderson, Jededia Austin, Joseph Miller (by transfer).
Dec. 5, 1885, election of officers resulted as follows: A. H. Ed- wards, commander; S. R. Phillips, Sen. Vice; Wm. Redford, Jun. Vice; Wm. Wood, Surgeon ; H. Saunders, Chap .; E. C. Parkin- son, Q. M .; L. A. Weldon, O. D .; M. D. Monley, O. G .; W. T. Olmstead, Adjt. The year of 1886 was an auspicious one for the post. Many valuable improvements were made and many good old camp-fires were had. There were mustered during the year as fol- lows : B. Lindsey, D. C. Conley, Orrin Squires, C. M. Clark, Rev. John Lohr, Alex. Davis, Rev. J. H. Presson, D. C. Work, Jacob Lawsha.
Dec. 4, 1886, the election resulted as follows : A. W. Hageman, Commander ; Wm. Redford, Sen. Vice ; T. B. Siddons, Jun. Vice ; J. M. Strayer, Q. M .; Wm. Woods, Surgeon; J. H. Presson, Chap .; E. C. Parkinson, O. D .; B. Lindsey, O. G .; D. C. Work, Adjt. During this year many were brought in who had long been on the outside and found that they needed a home among the " boys." The following were mustered: Jesse Knight, Amos Collman, J. W. Wharton, Nelson Taylor, Robert O'Dell, John Woods, A. A. Palmer, R. H. Woodward, L. J. Grant, C. F. Dawley, I. D. Neihardt (by tannsfer), John R. Wenciker, A. L. Goss, J. G. Baylis, B. Fuller,

Dec. 3d, 1887, the following were elected for the ensuing year: Henry Morris, Commander; Wm. Redford, Sen. Vice; D. H. Figard, Jun. Vice ; J. H. Presson, Chap .; S. N. Welsh, Surg .; J. M. Strayer, Q. M .; A. H. Edwards, O. D .; M. Millspaugh, O. G.
The post has exerted a great influence for good during its existence, and has always demonstrated the principles of the organization, to- wit, fraternity, charity, and loyalty; and in extending the helping hand to those of its membership, or the old veterans outside, has done so in such a manner as to exemplify the adage, "that it is more blessed to give than receive," and that it was a privilege to aid the needy comrades or their families. Several hundred dollars have been expended by the post in helping the old veterans and the widows and orphans living in the vicinity. The post has a burial plat in the Seward cemetery in which to lay the remains of those comrades that were without means to provide the same.
In the department encampment the post has been conspicuous for its ability and influence. During the year 1882, the state re-union came very near being held at Seward through the efforts of its rep- resentatives and the citizens of Seward.
The post has been honored by the selection of J. N. Edwards and E. C. Parkinson as members of the department council of ad- ministration, and J. H. Presson as Chaplain of the department ; also having elected J. N. Edwards several times a delegate to the national encampment.
The membership in good standing, as shown by the quarterly re- port dated September 30, 1887, was one hundred and three (103) and the desire to join the G. A. R. seems to increase on the part of many.old veterans that have heretofore hesitated to connect them- selves with any soldier organization.
Since the post has been established there have been mustered out by death only two of its members-Daniel Brady and John F. Haney.
The prospects of the post for the future seem bright, and it hopes to gather in all the old veterans in its vicinity, realizing the fact that the material from which recruiting can be made is fast passing away, and it is desirable that all the old veterans should stand elbow to elbow. As age demonstrates that many years have passed since their
208

interests began, and as there is strength in united action, it is greatly to their mutual good that they should combine themselves together to exemplify loyalty to country and to each other.
