In 1861, at the first call for defenders of our flag and country, Ammi Filley enlisted in Company D,. 2d Michigan Cavalry, and served through the en- tire war. participating in many of the prominent battles of the Army of the East, and also taking pirt in the siege of Vicksburg and the famous charge at Ft. Donelson.
Mrs. Mary (Marvin) Filley, the mother of our subject, was, like her husband, a native of Bloom- field. Conn., and they became the parents of six children, four sons and two daughters, and four of these are still living. Susan is the wife of Wil- lie Sutton, a well-to-do farmer of Jackson County. Mich .; Abel T. is a retired farmer of Fairbury. Ill .; Amanda R. is the wife of James Z. Ballard, a retired farmer in good . circumstances, and now a resident of Michigan Center. Mieh.
Mr. Elijah Filley, the subject of this sketch, was born in JJackson County, Mich., Nov. 28, 1839, and lived there until 1858. During this time, from the age of twelve years, he attended the public school in the winter, working mornings and even- ings for his board, and in the summer was em- ployed by the month by the farmers in that region. In the year mentioned he repaired to Joliet. Ill., and one summer was in the employ of Pool & Ring, who operated a boat on the Michigan Canal. The winter following he was occupiedl in sawing wood for a railroad company with a tread-power buzz saw.
In the spring of 1859 Mr. Filley changed his residence to Odell, Livingston Co .. Ill., where he worked on a farm one year with D. A. Reese; next we find him in LaSalle County, that State, where he lived three years, engaged in herding, driving and dealing in stock for William Strawn. under whose tuition he gained the knowledge and experi- ence which years afterward laid the foundation of his present fortune. In due time he commenecd farming for himself in Livingston County, of which he was a resident until 1867.
The marriage of Mr. Elijah Filley and Miss Emily Burd was celebrated at the home of the bride in the town of Pleasant Ridge, Livingston Co., Ill .. Nov. 4, 1863. This lady was born Nov. 6, 1814, in Will County, Ill., which was then the home of her parents, and is the daughter of Silas and Betsy Ann Burd. Silas was born Dec. 8, 1818. in Wayne County, N. J., and departed this life in Waro. Tex., where he was sojourning for his health, Feb. 22, 1859. Mrs. Burd was born in Wayne County. N. Y., Sept. 13. 1817, and is still living. making her home with her daughter. Mrs. Elijah Filley.
Mrs. Filley is a woman of noble and generous impulses, and has the love and respect of all who know her, and to the deserving poor she is a friend and benefactress. Her ruling traits are industry and a love of systematic arrangement in all work. study, recreation, and a close sympathy for all ani- mal and vegetable nature, as well as for humanity. To her valuable assistance and timely suggestions Mr. Filley attributes in a large measure his success in life. In the years to come. long after these pages

are yellow with the tint of time, she will be re- membered for her many noble qualities of both heart and mind. The family consisted of six chil- dren. of whom three are living: Iliram A., born Aug. 22, 1866; Oscar E., June 25, 1870; Daisy C., June 2, 1876. Abel Fitch, born Oct. 23, 1864, died Oct. 10, 1876; Emily Jane, born Aug. 27, 1868. died Sept. 6, 1886; Elmer C., born Ang. 22, 1874, died May 23, 1877.
The close application of Mr. Filley to his busi- ness, and his persevering industry, bore their legiti- mate fruits, and he found that he could advanta- geously operate a much larger tract of land than that in Illinois. Ile accordingly started ont in the summer of 1867, and coming to the newly made State of Nebraska, bent his steps to this county, looking for land. He was favorably impressed with the face of the country, and soon purchased two sections from the Government, lying along Mud Creek. Having lost his horses which he brought from Illinois, he purchased twelve yoke of oxen and commenced breaking prairie, not only for himself but for the people around him, in order to pay for his oxen. He was thus occupied about three years, and in the meantime worked upon his land as time and opportunity permitted.
When Mr. Filley first settled upon his land, in- stead of living in a "dug-out" or " sod house," as did most of the early settlers, he lived in a tent through the summer, and when fall admonished him that this was rather thin protection against Ne- braska zephyrs, he commenced the erection of what is now known far and wide as the "old stone house." Mr. Filley quarried the stone and burned the lime. while Mrs. Filley did the hauling with oxen, and together they made the mortar and laid up the walls around the tent, and roofed them over. They lived in this one room during that winter, and the fol- lowing summer added more rooms, until they had quite a commodious and comfortable dwelling, which they occupied for a period of sixteen years. In the year 1874 Mr. Filley erected a stone barn, near the house, at a cost of $5,000.
Soon after coming to Nebraska Mr. Filley began to buy cattle in order to stock his farm, and also dealt largely in land for a number of years. Ile soon began feeding and shipping, and upon the
completion of the railroad through Beatrice, loaded the first car of cattle transported from Gage County to Chicago. Later, when the railroad was com- pleted to Filley, he erected a large and commodions elevator, and began dealing in grain, which busi- ness he has followed for years. When the Burling- ton & Missouri River Railroad was completed from Beatrice to Nebraska City, Mr. Filley, in the sum- mer of 1883, founded the town which bears his name, and which is located on one of his farms. In 1885 the name of the township of Mud Creek was changed to Filley, in honor of its first settler.
Mr. Filley is the leading farmer and business man of this region, carrying on agriculture exten- sively, also stork-raising, buying and shipping. At this writing he has 700 head of steers in feeding for the spring market.
Our subject labors diligently both with mind and muscle, and takes a deep interest in Gage County, contributing of his means and influence to the enterprises which have for their object the best good of the people, socially, morally and finan- cially.
Mr. Filley, politically, is a stanch Republican, and in 1881 and 1883 represented Gage County in the Nebraska Legislature. Later he was elected as Senator from his district, serving until 1885, and in this, as in all other relations of life, performe:l his duty with that conscientious care which is a distinguishing trait of his character. Hle identified himself with the Masonic fraternity about 1866, and belongs to both Chapter and Commandery, he- ing also Master of the lodge at Filley. He is also a Director of the Bank of Filley, and of the First National Bank of Beatrice.
Mr. Filley is a Western man, and is never so happy as when engaged in subduing the wilderness. and making it bloom and blossom with the vegeta- tion of civilization. Only a few years since, where the village of Filley stands was the primitive prairie, with only Mr. Filley to transform it from its wild state to one of civilization; now, through his instrumentality, a beautiful little village has sprung up, and is rapidly striding toward the magnitude of a city.
When the future historian writes of the pioneers of Nebraska, and gives each his proper mead of credit, he will place the name of the Ion. Elijah Filley in the front rank. It is with pleasure that we present the portrait of Mr. Filley in connection with this sketch, and also that of his most estimable wife. A fine double-page view of his place is also shown in this work.
TRANSPORTATION,K
SNE of the most important fac- tors in the business develop- ment and prosperity of a city, county or State, is its railroad communications. A retrospection of the history of the South Platte Country since the advent of railroad facilities, will convince the careful observer of the immense benefit resulting from the introduction of this essential adjunct of commercial enterprise. The fol- lowing brief sketches of the leading railroads of this section of the great commonwealth will form an interesting feature of this ALBUM. It may be remarked in this connec- tion that the roads referred to are not only the im- portant corporations of Nebraska, but stand among the first in the Nation.
The Burlington & Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska.
HIS important road was commenced at Platts- mouth, Neb., where it connected with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, in the year 1869, and the main line of the road was
extended westward to Kearney, 191 miles, during 1870-72, being completed to Kearney in the latter year. The Denver extensions south and west of Hastings, begun in 1878, finished to Denver in 1882, and later, in 1883-84, the main line to Denver was shortened by the construction of the line from Kennesaw to Oxford. By the acquirement of the Omaha & Southwestern Railroad, the Atchison & Nebraska Railroad, the building of the Short Line from Omaha to Ashland, and the extension to Cheyenne, Wyo., the company has absolutely the shortest line from nearly all Missouri River points to Denver, Cheyenne, and connecting with the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, the Union Pacific Railway, and the Colorado Midland at Denver, and with the Union Pacific Railway at Cheyenne, makes a most desirable route to all Colorado, Utah, Ore- gon and Pacific Coast points. At Omaha connec- tions are made with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs, Union Pacific, Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val- ley, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul, Wabash, Western and Missouri Pacific, at different points in the State, all the main roads traversing Nebraska. The company has built three steel bridges across the Missouri River, one at Plattsmouth, one at Nebraska City and one

at Rulo. The length of the main line in Nebraska from Plattsmouth to the Colorado line, passing through Lincoln, Hastings and other principal points, is 364.52 miles, and all other branches in this State 1755.78 miles. The road is ballasted with stone, gravel, cinders and earth. Of the 2,120.30 miles of road in Nebraska, 1,600.08 miles are laid with steel rails, the rest being laid with iron. The total mileage comprised in the Burlington system west of the Missouri River is 2,778.78 miles.
When it is remembered that the above-stated Nebraska mileage of the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad constitutes but little short of one- half of the entire railroad mileage of the State, it will readily be seen how important a factor this great railroad must have been in that recent mar- velous development of material resources which has raised Nebraska to her present proud position in the sisterhood of States. Indeed the growth of the State in population, wealth, and everything that goes to the making-up of a great commonwealth, has throughout been coincident with the extension of this great railroad system. It is only necessary to look back over a brief period of seven years, to find the aggregate railroad mileage of the State less by 200 miles than the present mileage of this one line. Two years ago, even, large portions of the State, in nowise inferior in their capabilities to the best settled and most productive sections along the Missouri River, were entirely destitute of railroad facilities, and were consequently cut off, not only from the great markets of the continent, but even from the chief centers of population in the State itself. But by a truly marvelous transformation these outlying regions have been brought near, and the magnificent display of agricultural products that was made at the State fair of 1888, by counties among the most recently settled and the farthest west, abundantly justified the enterprise that has been displayed, and forever set at rest all those lingering fallacies that would have limited the agri- cultural possibilities of the western half of the State.
The road has practically three trunk lines run- ning the entire length of the State. These are connected by a network of branehes so perfectly organized that there are no two points of importance
within its territory between which the great rail- road may not be said to have an air line. No fewer than fifty-seven counties of the State are reached by these various lines, and those numerous addi- tional feeders which have been thrown out, with the object of bringing the various products of all the best sections of the State within reach of that great Burlington system, which carries the greatest grain and live-stock market in the world a larger pro- portion of its supplies than is handled by any other road. It is a fact, largely by virtue of its relations with the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and other roads, constituting what is popularly known as the Burlington Route, that the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad is enabled to afford the people of Nebraska the unequaled railroad facili- ties they enjoy, laying hold with one hand upon the great mountain chain of the continent. It stretches over the vast agricultural region of the West, to pay tribute with the other to that most magnificent of all inland waterways, the Great Lake System of America, besides connecting with those varions steel highways which form the chief lines of travel, and for the larger half of the year, the only commercial arteries between Chicago and the Atlantic seaboard. The only line of which this can be said, it naturally commands not only an immense freight traffic, but a through passenger travel of great volume and importance, so much so, indeed, that it has twelve superbly appointed ex- press passenger trains traversing Nebraska fromn end to end every day in the year. Of these six run between Denver and Chicago, four between Denver and Kansas City, and two between Denver and St. Louis. The Denver & Chicago trains run via Omaha, Neb., commercial metropolis, Lincoln, its beautiful and flourishing capital, and many other rapidly growing towns and cities in the State. From the capital of the State there radiate no fewer than six separate lines, in as many different directions. At Nebraska City one of its lines crosses the mag- nificent stcel bridge, recently built at that point by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, and connects with the trains of that company to and from Chicago at Red Oak, Iowa, but the facts will be sufficiently apparent from the foregoing general statements, as will also the absolute identity of

interests that exist between the flourishing State of Nebraska and that great railroad system which has done so much to promote its development.
The Missonri Pacific Railroad.
HIS great trunk line which now threads its way through several States west of the Mis- sissippi River, has been a potential factor in the development of Missouri and Kansas, and with its accustomed enterprise, a short time ago pene- trated with its lines into the rich agricultural distriets of Nebraska, to compete in this growing State, with its rapidly accumulating business. It was also among the pioneer roads in Kansas, and its many branches now traverse in different directions the most thickly settled portions of that State. It has contributed in a large measure, by its liberal and aggressive policy, toward the rapid development of the great resources of Kansas. It is interesting to note briefly its history, as it was the first road built west from St. Louis, as early as 1850-51.
The preliminary steps to build the road were taken, and it has since gradually extended its lines, like the arteries and veins of the human system, until it bas eneompassed in its range the best por- tions of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, and has even reached out and tapped the large commercial centers of Texas and Colorado. Its splendid and far-reaching management extends to its patrons both in freight and passenger traffic the best facili- ties for reaching the seaboard and the great Eastern marts of trade. The growth and development of the Missouri Pacific system have been rapid and fully abreast of the times. Its local business is enormous and rapidly increasing. In respect to its through business no other road or system in Ne- braska is better equipped than this. Its steel-rail tracks, well-ballasted road-beds, and superior pas- senger coaches, constitute it one of the greatest railroad systems of the West. Its superb fast train between St. Louis and Denver via Kansas City and Pueblo, is unquestionably the most elegant and best equipped train of any road which enters the peerless city of the plains. It runs more passenger trains and finer coaches between St. Louis and Kansas
City than any other road. It has contributed in a wonderful degree toward the building up of the various cities along its numerous lines. Kansas City has felt its influence as much as any other road centering in that metropolis, as its lines lead into the heart of the coal and iron fiells of Missouri. It is thus enabled to lay down at the doors of the growing towns of the West those two essential factors in the building up of a new country, more quickly and cheaper than almost any other road ean do. It gives to its numerous and rapidly in- creasing patronage in Nebraska and Kansas unsur- passed facilities for reaching the great health resorts of Arkansas and Texas. Over its line from Omaha to St. Louis, about 500 miles in extent, it runs the finest trains between those two eities, passing through Weeping Water, Nebraska City and Falls City, in Nebraska, and St. Joseph, Atchison and Leaven- worth, before reaching Kansas City. The length of its main line and branches in Nebraska is 322 miles, its northern terminus being Omaba, whose connec- tions are made with all the roads centering in that metropolis. The line from Omaha to Falls City is 115 miles; the Crete branch 58 miles: Lincoln to Auburn, 76 miles; Warwick to Prosser, 73 miles. Various extensions and additions are constantly being made in Nebraska.
Thus it will be seen that this road already taps the two leading cities in the State, Omaha and Lin- coln, besides Nebraska City, rapidly growing into importance, likewise Hastings. Thus it will be seen that this is one of the important roads centering in Omaha, the metropolis of Nebraska; on account of its extensive mileage and the ramification of the system, it is destined to promote in a large degree the development of the material interests of the country through which it passes.
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific.
THIS is the last important trunk line to enter the South Platte country. It enters the State "at Berwick, and runs in a north and westerly direction to Fairbury and Nelson. At Fairbury the road branches and connects with the main line for Denver, thus giving the southern part

of the State another direct communication with the great lumber and other interests of Chicago and Kansas City, and the great lake and seaboard muarts of trade.
Union Pacific,
THE PATHFINDER OF THE OVERLAND ROUTE. n EBRASKA and the Platte River Valley were first opened up to civilization and the out- side world by the energy and enterprise of the promoters of the Union Pacific, and a rapid
impetus given to her commercial and agricultural development. Besides branches, the main line trav- erses the State from Omaha to the western line, along the Platte, and extends its steel highway across the Rocky Mountains. It was the first road to bring an interchange of productions between the Western world and the Orient. Its enterprise has ever been co-extensive with the development of Nebraska and the West, and its numerous branches extending in different directions through the State have been a potential factor in the development of the same.
