THE LAUREL ADVOCATE, Laurel, Cedar County, Nebraska. Saturday June 4, 1898. J.F. Mills, Pub

HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY

Early facts and reminiscences recorded by L. E. Jones of St. James, Ne. Later developments by J. F. Jamal, clerk of Cedar County.

Being requested by the Laurel Advocate to submit a historical sketch I have taken the liberty to present some of this early history which was compiled by one of our old pioneers (who we are pleased to say is with us yet). L. E. Jones Sr. during the year 1876 & subsequently recorded these facts & reminiscences in beed record No. 4, pages 1 to 14 incl. Jr. Jenal is owner & operater of the largest flooring mill in this country located on the main Bow creek near the village of St. James. Extracts from Mr. Jones' article:

The county of Cedar was formed, (with later boundary changes) on 12 February 1857 at St. James, lying below the mouth of Petite Arc (Bow creek). Among those early pioneers who are still in the county we mention: C. C. Van; James Hay: O. D. Smith: Saby Strahm; Hanson Wiseman: John Andres:

History of Cedar County, continued.

Henry, Ernest, Gustavus & Herman Felber, together with their father, Paul Felber, This colony emigrated from Harrison Co., Iowa.

The following spring the settlements of Waucapona & St. Helena were organized. Among those who settled in Waucapona and are still residents: Warren Saunders; George A. Hall & Amos S. Parker. As for St. Helena I am only aware of but 1 person; P. C. Nissen. In July of that year (1858) the writer landed in Cedar Co. & with others surveyed & platted the town of St. Helena. In the spring of 1859, Henry Felber with 3 sons, Henry, Jacob & William; Peter Jenal Sr. & Jr., together with my own family arrived in St. Helena by boat from St. Louis, Mo. C. B. Evans & sons arrived during the summer of 1858 from Council Bluffs, Iowa.

About this time, or possibly a short time previous, a few settlers located in the NW corner of the county opposite Striek-Me-Ree's camp, now Yankton. Saby Strahm was the founder of that settlement. Others who settled & we still find: John & David Nelson; Ambrose Ambrosen; Ambrose & Ole Anderson. In the Fall of 1861; J. Lammers; G. Kohls; B. Wubben; Stephen Klug; B. Suing; F. Weisler & G. Arands settled near Bow creeks where they are still living.

Indians were hostile. A family of 5 children of Mr. Wiseman, near St. James, were slaughtered in 1863. In the spring of 1864 Dr. Alonzo Bentz was killed.

In the summer of 1864 they had to fortify themselves against Indians. (Names mentioned): the writer, P. C. Nissen, Henry Felber & Jacob Brauch. In the same year the 7th Iowa Cav. Co. B was stationed here on land now owned by Fred Harder.
