MERRIWEATHER JONES WAUGH


Among the representatives of mercantile life in Lincoln who have long been identified with business here and have laid the foundation of the city's commer- cial greatness, is numbered Merriweather Jones Waugh, the president of the Lincoln Paint & Color Company, who established his home in the capital in 1887. He was born in Amherst county, Virginia, August 27, 1849. The Waugh family in America is descended from Thomas Waugh, who left England about 1826 and cast in his lot with the Virginia colony. He belonged to a wealthy family of his native country and was brought to the United States by kidnappers who had stolen him from itsparent. Cand Book/ffffrfo Margina? It was many Vol. II-41

years before his family in England learned of his whereabouts though they had advertised widely and had spent a large sum of money in a search for him. Thomas Waugh, however, learned to love the new world and would never return to England though his relatives there endeavored to persuade him to do so. As the years passed on his family sent him many presents from the old country and several of these are now in possession of his descendants, including a bamboo cane, which has been handed down from generation to generation and is now in possession of Merriweather J. Waugh. It was the wish of Thomas Waugh, the ancestor, that the oldest son of the oldest son in each case, should receive this. Among the descendants of the American progenitor were those who served in the colonial army during the Revolutionary war, one of these being a direct ancestor of M. J. Waugh, who by reason thereof has become a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. M. J. Waugh is a son of Thomas E. Waugh, who was also a native of Amherst county, the date of his birth being 1820. He removed to Chariton county, Missouri, in 1851, and there resided until his death, which occurred in 1894. He was a farmer by occupation but during the period of the Civil war abandoned the plow and served under General Sterling Price in the Confederate army. In his native county in 1847, he married Miss Lucy F. Jones, a daughter of the Rev. Merriweather Jones, a Baptist minister. She went with her husband to Chariton county Missouri, and there continued to reside until called to her final rest December 20, 1914, when she was eighty- eight years of age, her birth having occurred on the 20th of September, 1826, in Bedford county, Missouri. To Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Waugh were born ten children, of whom nine are yet living: Merriweather J .; James G., a resident of Rothville, Missouri; William E., living in Brookfield, Missouri; Lucien F., of North Platte, Nebraska; Jesse S., of Bosworth, Missouri; Robert E., of Los Angeles, California ; Eugene, of Lincoln, Nebraska; Sophia M., the wife of W. A. Wilkinson, of Rothville, Missouri; and Anna W., the wife of Robert G. Wilson, of Lees Summit, Missouri. One son, Thomas Edward, who was next younger than Lucien, died at the age of seven years.


N. J. Waugh was but two years of age when his parents removed to Chariton county, Missouri, where he was reared on a farm and acquired a good common school education. When eighteen years of age he became a teacher and taught three terms of school, one in Illinois and two in Iowa, the summer seasons during that period being devoted to farm work. He spent the year 1871 in Nebraska City, where he clerked in a drug store, and later he removed to Omaha, where for fourteen years he was employed as a drug clerk, thirteen years of that time being spent in one establishment. He abandoned that work in 1885 on account of close confinement and embarked in the paint business in Omaha. In 1887 he purchased the paint manufacturing plant of Thomas Wilkinson & Company, of Burlington, Towa, and at once removed the business to Lincoln, where he incorporated it under the name of the Lincoln Paint & Color Company, of which he became and still is the president. This is the oldest paint manufactory of Lincoln, being the pioneer industry of the kind in the city and also the largest. The business is represented by several traveling salesmen and its products go into every state of the Union. A branch of the Lincoln Paint & Color Company Was Established in Dallas,Texas, in 1904 and is main- tained as a separate corporation, of which Mr. Waugh is the president, business

being there carried on as the Lincoln Paint & Color Company of Dallas. Mr. Waugh also has other business interests, being a director of the Mid West Life Insurance Company and of the City National Bank of Lincoln. Ile is a man of keen discrimination and marked enterprise and carries forward to suc- cessful completion whatever he undertakes.


On the 13th of May, 1874, Mr. Waugh was married in Percival, lowa, to Miss Katherine Torbitt, a native of Lexington, Kentucky, and descended from Revolutionary stock. She holds membership with the Daughters of the American Revolution and was formerly president of the Deborah Avery Chapter at Lincoln. Mr. and Mrs. Waugh have two daughters, Ada L. and Helen M., both graduates of the University of Nebraska. The family is prominent socially, the hospitality of many of Lincoln's best homes being cordially extended them.


In politics Mr. Waugh is a democrat but has never been a candidate for office. He has, however, always been a leader in Lincoln's civic affairs and was one of the four men who organized the Lincoln Commercial Club, of which he served as a director for many years. He holds membership with the Modern Woodmen of America, the Royal Highlanders and the Maccabees, and his religious faith is evidenced in his membership in the First Baptist church, of which he is a trustee. His life has ever conformed to high standards, his ideals have been high, and his work and influence are of utmost value to the com- munity in which he resides.


WILLIAM COOK WILSON.


William Cook Wilson, president of the Bankers Life Insurance Company of Lincoln, has been a resident of this city since 1801, or for a quarter of a century, and has long been prominent among the energetic, farsighted and successful business men of the capital. He was born in Quincy, Michigan, October II, 1858, a son of William B. Wilson, who died in Lincoln, January 24. 1911, at which time he was serving as treasurer of the Bankers Life Insurance Company, of which his son William was president. The father was born at Palmyra, New York, October 2, 1820, and in early life engaged in the drug business, for many years in the state of Michigan, living at different periods in Hillsdale, Muskegon and Detroit. While a resident of that state he held many high Masonic positions, including that of grand master of the Grand Lodge, and later he filled the position of grand commander of the Grand Commandery of Michigan. He spent the last years of his life in Lincoln, having been treasurer of the Bankers Life Insurance Company for some years prior to his demise. He was also a prominent factor in political circles in Michigan, where he served as a member of the state legis- lature, elected on the democratic ticket. Ile was married September 7. 1857, in Cato, New York, to Miss Sarah M. Wolford, who was born at that place, a small town eighteen miles north of Auburn, her natal day being October 25. 1836. She died in Lincoln, June 4, 1914. Mr. Wilson was in his eighty-second year at the time of his death. On the 7th of September, 1907. they celebrated their golden wedding, myon which occasion all of the prominent people of microson Lincoln helped to honor the event by their presence at a party held at the lincoln

Hotel. Both enjoyed excellent health until shortly before death called them and despite their advanced age they remained young in appearance and in interests, and it was always a pleasure to meet them. Young and okl, rich and poor, enjoyed their society and companionship, and they had friends in every walk of life.


The ancestral family line is traced back through Philo Wilson, grandfather of William Cook Wilson and a native of Connecticut. He came of English ancestry and of the same family from which President Woodrow Wilson is descended. On the maternal side William C. Wilson comes of German lineage. llis maternal grandfather, Daniel W. Wolford, was a wealthy farmer of Cayuga county, New York.


William Cook Wilson was an only child. His early boyhood was spent at Hillsdale, Michigan, and he completed his education in Hillsdale College, taking the work of the junior year. He began his business career as a clerk in his father's drug store in Muskegon, Michigan, when he was twenty years of age, and a year later he entered the employ of a large lumber concern at Michigan City, Indiana, at a salary of fifty dollars per month. Three years later he became a partner in the business and for twelve years more he was extensively engaged in the lumber trade at Michigan City, both as a manufacturer and as a wholesale and retail dealer. He also had sawmill interests in the state of Michigan and became one of the foremost representatives of the lumber industry in that part of the country. Something of the extent of his business can be imagined from the fact that his firm employed about four hundred men in the woods and about two hundred in the yards, which they established in various Michigan cities. Mr. Wilson figured prominently as a factor in the lumber trade of the middle west for a considerable period, thus laying the foundation of his fortune. In 1891 he came to Lincoln and purchased an interest in the Bankers Life Insur- ance Company, at once becoming general manager and a member of the board of directors. The company had then been in existence for only four years, having been organized in 1887, and was indeed a struggling institution, trying hard to win its way to a position of permanency and stability. When Mr. Wilson took charge of the Bankers Life Insurance Company at Lincoln its "general offices" consisted of a modest back room, furnished with a cheap desk, a table and a few. chairs. He had made some study of the business of life insurance and the proposition looked good to him. He had read about how many of the great life insurance companies of the country had started from just such small and humble beginnings. He had faith in the principle of life insurance, hence determined to buy an interest in the local concern, with a view of becoming general manager and undertaking to place the young and unknown company upon the insurance map of the country. The net result of his twenty-five years' connection with the business is that today the Bankers Life Insurance Company of Lincoln is one of the solid financial institutions of Nebraska, its business reaching to practically every state in the Union, while its business is annually represented by millions. The home office in Lincoln is today one of the architectural features of the city. Mr. Wilson, though frequently advanced from one official position to another and finally to the presidency in 1899, has at all times maintained a general super- vision over the company's management.ichbest The Bankers Life Insurance office building, on the corner of Fourteenth and N street, was erected in 1910-11 and


803


LINCOLN AND LANCASTER COUNTY


is today one of the capital's most beautiful business structures. Mr. Wilson manifests marked discernment in controlling and directing the interests of the business, readily discriminating between the essential and the nonessential, and at all times his spirit of initiative has wrought along broadening lines. He has come to rank with the leading representatives of financial interests in Lincoln and was formerly one of the directors of the First National Bank and of the Columbia National Bank.


On the rith of February, 1886, Mr. Wilson, was married in Detroit, Michi- gan, to Miss Adele A. Stebbins, of that city, and they have a son, Howard Stebbins, twenty-one years of age, who is a junior in the University of Nebraska. In politics Mr. Wilson is a democrat but has never consented to become a candi- date for political office, although in 1888 he was a delegate to the democratic national convention in St. Louis. He belongs to the Lincoln Commercial Club. of which he was formerly vice president and a director, and at one time he was president of the Lincoln Country Club, of which he is a prominent representative and a director. He is a Knights Templar and Scottish Rite Mason and is identi- fied with the Elks, while of the Congregational church he is a trustee and liberal supporter, giving generously of his means at all times to further those projects which promote the material, intellectual, social, political and moral progress of the community. He never deviates from high standards which he has set up and has proven a man of singleness of purpose in his devotion to all that is most worth while.


CUSHMAN MOTOR WORKS.


One of the leading manufacturing concerns of Lincoln is the Cushman Motor Works, building light weight engines and selling them all over America, with occasional shipments to practically every other country in the world.


The business was established in 1902. The dominant idea behind the for- mation of the company was the theory that farm engines of much lighter weight than were on the market would be just as satisfactory in operation and of much greater range of utility. After a few years of experimentation and work in laying the proper foundation in a mechanical way, the company was reorganized in 1909 by E. B. Sawyer, who secured a controlling interest. Since then the business of the company has been one of remarkably rapid expansion.


The Cushman engine is of a new type for farm work, being a 4-cycle vertical high speed engine, of very high quality in material, workmanship and equipment. While the Cushman Motor Works manufactures a line of engines from 4 to 20 H. P. in size, by far the largest part of the business is on the 4 H. P. engine. This 4 H. P. Cushman is the binder engine famous throughout the wheat sec- tions of America as a crop saver. It is capable, by means of a special bracket and attachments, patented by the Cushman Motor Works, of being attached to the rear of a grain or rice binder, driving the sickle and other machinery, leav- ing the horses nothing to do but pull the binder. By this means two horses readily do the work of four, while in a wet season the engine sayes the crop, as the slipping of the bull wheel Prevent? Csuccessful lenffingSinta Ret field without the use of the engine.

LINCOLN AND LANCASTER COUNTY


The Cushman Motor Works has achieved a phenomenal success through the application of its engines to special power driven jobs not possible with other engines. In addition to the use on the binder, these light weight engines are successfully used as attachable power on corn binders, corn pickers, potato diggers, hay presses, threshers, concrete mixers and gold dredges, besides being the most successful line of all-purpose engines in America today, on account of their extreme light weight, high speed, steadiness of operation and freedom from engine trouble. The scope of their success may be gauged when it is stated that the Cushman factory in Lincoln turns out more 4 II. P. engines per year . than any other factory in America.


However, the success of the Cushman Motor Works has not been due entirely to a new and efficient type of engine. The success of any manufacturer or sell- ing organization is inevitably bound up in the personnel of its executive force, and Mr. Sawyer has been far sighted and fortunate enough to gather about him an organization of men capable of accomplishing unusual things.


L. M. Ward, factory and production manager, with both practical and tech- nical experience, has developed a factory system and organization second to no factory of equal size and second only to the big automobile organizations.


W. T. Irons, treasurer, has a pulling power that gets the money from the "willing dealers" that has allowed this Cushman organization to grow and increase their plant so rapidly.


P. R. Easterday of the First National Bank and B. A. George of George Bros., are the other two directors, which completes a combination that is hard to beat.


E. B. Cushman, the original designer of the "world's lightest and most effi- cient farm engine," is an inventive genius. His mechanical ideas are put into effective practice by the Cushman organization, which with their experience and contact with Western farming conditions have made it possible for the Cushman people to originate, develop and perfect farm engine ideas in advance of others.


N. E. Hildreth, for the past two years general plant superintendent, is a man of extended experience in the East and has been a great aid in the development of the efficient factory organization.


N. H. Williams, sales manager, is well known to many Western dealers. His willingness to serve both the dealers and the Cushman Company has been a factor in their cooperation.


1. M. Decker, assistant manager, gives special service to Cushman jobbers in distant points buying in car load lots. The personal service, attention and coopera- tion that Mr. Decker and all in the sales department directly under Mr. Sawyer's direction has been a material factor in increasing the success of the Cushman Company in giving the correspondence a real personality.


An interesting incident of the Cushman business is the recent purchase by the United States Government of 66 4 H. P. Cushman engines for use in operat- ing generators in connection with moving picture outfits to be used at the vari- ous army posts for the entertainment and instruction of the soldiers. This engine, built especially for farm work, was selected for its steady running and dependable qualities, after thorough investigation by the Government engineers.


One of the principal achievements of the Cushman Motor Works as it relates to Lincoln and Nebraska is the fact that they have demonstrated that it is pos- sible to manufacture farm machinery in the Western farming territory economic-


805


LINCOLN AND LANCASTER COUNTY


ally and successfully. It was formerly believed that the successful manufac- turing of farm engines and machinery must be in Illinois and the East. The gradual changing of the farming population and change of western conditions is demonstrating both the possibility and real advantage of manufacturing farm machinery closer to the territory of the actual use of the machine. The success of the Cushman Motor Works has already started other Nebraska manufacturers along the same general line and during the next decade Lincoln and Nebraska manufacturing industries will gradually increase.
