EARLY HISTORY OF YORK COUNTY,
NEBRASKA

The first settlements were made in the valley of the West Blue, in the territory now embraced by West Blue Precinct, the early pioneers in this part of the county are: John ANDERSON, Nerve FOUSE, Elias GILMORE, George STUBBLEFIELD, Henry CHATTERTON, William J. TAYLOR, and David BUZZARD. In the northwest part, J. W. KINGSTON and Philando CHURCH Settled upon the Blue River in 1870, and in the north and northeast, upon Lincoln Creek, David DOAN, James H. STEWART, Newton HYETT, and John A. MERGER made settlement in 1868. and C. C. SMITH and a Mr. COON in 1867.

In the central part along Beaver Creek pioneers are John KORA, Julius FROST, Henry NICHOLES, William SWEET and BRISTOL, the date they settled 1870.

In the south and west parts, Fernando McFADDEN settled in 1866 on the West Blue, and Levi WOODRUFF in 1868 and the HENDERSONS in June 1866.

In 1870, during April the organization of the county took place, and the U.S. census taken that year showed a population of 640, one half of which settled that spring and summer.

Uncle Elias GILMORE had the only frame house in the county. The only schoolhouse, a sod structure, was on the West Blue. The only post office was located on the road between Fairnont and York at the residence of Fernando McFADDEN, who was also the first Postmaster of the county.

During 1868 the Pawnees, Otoes, Omahas and Poncas were united in a war against their common enemy the powerful Sioux, and invaded York County on the war path. The line of battle was on the south side of the West Blue, eight miles south of York.

Prior to the year 1870 York County was attached to Seward County for judicial and revenue purposes. On the 18th of March 1870, his Excellency David BUTLER, Governor of the State of Nebraska, issued a proclamation in response to a petition signed by the voting population of York County at that time, authorizing a permanent organization of the county. On the 26th of April 1870 a full compliment of county officers were duly elected and the choice of the people resulted; Edward BATES, Clerk; Julius FROST, Trea.; George FLOCK, Sheriff; D. T. MOORE, Probate Judge; W. H. ARMSTRONG, Sup. of Public Instruction; Frank MANNING, Surveyor; S. V. MOORE, David BUZZARD, Capt. L. F. WYMANN, Commissioners.

The pre-emption house of A. M. GHOST, was used as court house during this year and to the fall of 1871.

In November of this year, a new mail route was established from Lincoln to Grand Island, via Seward and three new post offices were established in the county.-- Palo, Thayer, and Aikin's Mill. Chancey ATKINS served at ATKIN'S Mill, and J. H. PARKER at Thayer. Citizens of York petitioned for a mail route between York and Fairmont by way of McFadden, Dr. Thomas L. MYERS was appointed Postmaster. He resigned and F. O. BELL was appointed. He held this for two years and was succeeded by J. E. COCHRAN and later by Mrs. M. J. HAMMOND.

In the spring of 1871 York County received its first proposal for building a railroad. Dr. CONVERSE, Superintendent of the Midland Pacific Railroad, submitted a proposition to the people of York County. He would extend the road from Seward to York if the county would vote bonds for $150,000. Not wanting to load a young county with debt, the voters voted the new road down.

Mr. Niles NYSTER, who never owned land and lived at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, decided he would own a farm and walked to Lincoln; looked over the map and decided York County would suit him; selecting an eighty and walking to Lockridge Twsp. to see the south one-half, northwest quarter, sec. 34, twsp 11, rng. 3. He walked to Lincoln; made his claim; made him a dug-out; put up some hay; and walked back home to Iowa, a distance in all of 700 miles. The next spring he took his family to York County and found the prairie fires had burned his hay, but nothing daunting, he went to work happy in the fact that he owned a farm.

One great event in the early history of York County that stands out most prominent was the Easter Storm that began Sunday, April 12th 1873. That afternoon a bank of heavy clouds appeared in the northwest. Soon there began a heavy rain and as night approached, the rain turned into sleet and then to snow. For three days end nights without a moments cease the

Early History of York County, Nebraska (continued)

storm raged with the air so full of whirling snow it was impossible to see an object a nod away. Fortunate for the early settlers that their dwellings were mostly sod houses or dug-outs and in place of being blown away, they were more likely to be snowed under. In several instances the settlers took their meager stock in the sod house with them for several days. As far as known only three lives were lost in the storm in York County; one, the 15 year old son of J. S. GRAY in Arborville Twsp., the boy missed the house and was found after the storm was over. The other two deaths occurred in Henderson Twsp., Frank KAILEY's log house, built but not chinked, filled with snow the first night. They thought they must go to the neighbors. Mrs. KAILEY soon gave out in the deep snow and Mr. KAILEY tried to carry her and the baby son. He soon became exhausted and left his family to go for help but never found them till after the storm.

A project for building a narrow gauge railroad had been advanced and warmly accepted by the public. The first train reached York in August 1877.

In the latter part of July 1876, the early settlers were visited by a new and unlocked for clamity of grasshoppers. Every device imaginable was made for catching young grasshoppers The County Board of Sup. passed a resolution to encourage the destruction of these pests. Two dollars per bushel of dead grasshoppers to be delivered to the court house before May 18, 1877 and one dollar on or before June 1, 1877. H. C. LEINSCHMIDT tells of seeing grasshoppers nearly four feet high. The long, told, wet spells contributed by a kind providence, did more to rid the county of the grasshoppers than all the devices of man.

The city of York is situated in the geographical center of the county and in 1910 the population was 6,500. It had three railroads. The Burlington and Missouri River railroad traversed the county east to west; the Chicago and Northwestern passed through the county from northeast to southwest; the Kansas City and Omaha bisected the county north and south. York has a splendid supply of water from deep wells, furnished by the York Water Company. An electric system covers the entire city; a large gas plant, capable of supplying the demand of the city for many years.

The first bank in York County, a scalping concern, was established in York in 1875 by William McWHIRTER. There were no bank examiners, and no law against usury.

The Public Schools in York County have grown from the small beginnings of the early settlement when schools were taught in private dwellings and claim shacks and from when School District No. 1 was organized in 1869. In 1912 there were one hundred and three school districts.

The last wild buffalo: Three stray grazers were seen the summer of 1874 in the Northwestern part of the county, northwest of York. One was shot by Jess GRANDY near the Washburn ranch on Lincoln Creek; the two remaining buffalo were shot, one near Stromsburg in a pool, the last at South Bend on the Platte.

Social and religious life was not neglected in those days. The young people from the FOUSE ranch to Mr. WADDEL's ranch in Hamilton County, were well-known to each other and frequently met to enjoy a country dance with a zeal unknown today. Perry CALDWELL, a United Brethren preacher, living on a homestead in Saline County, rode horseback to his appointments and in 1868 organized a class in the home of David BUSSARD. This class had had uninterrupted history and yet meets in Bethel Church which was built in 1870. R. S. MANNEY, Ezekial EVANS, and Elder HILROE organized the Christian Church in a school house until 1883 when the present church house was built.

J. W. RUSH, whom we think is now the oldest homesteader living in York County, drove through from Illinois in 1872, locating on section 12, range 1. Mr. RUSH is a veteran of the Civil War.

In the early seventies a man riding a beautiful thoroughbred horse stopped at Elias GILMORE's and asked for an entertainment over night, which was, of course, granted. He was a well-dressed man, keen and alert. It was noticed that his right hand was usually held under the left side of his coat and though he was a good talker and well-informed, on current events he was reticent regarding himself.

Early History of York County, Nebraska (continued)

The sleeping apartment in the house consisted of one large room for the men, containing several beds. S. N. CREECH and other boarders occupied beds in this room and were startled when the stranger upon retiring unbuckled a belt containing several revolvers, one of which he calmly placed under his pillow and laid the belt on the table near his bed. The unarmed men made no remarks but passed a sleepless night. The stranger was up early and after paying liberally for his entertainment, rode away. Mr. GILMORE remarked, "Boys, there's something wrong with that man," a fact which became evident when they learned later that they had entertained the noted Jesse JAMES.

Fish and game were abundant in the early days, deer being killed during the winters of '66, '67, '68. Elias GELMORE brought to Nebraska what was perhaps one of the largest breaking plows in the state, being a 26-inch lay. To this plow he drove from four to six yoke of oxen with one or more drivers. The first thrashing outfit that cane into York County was owned by M. BROWN of Middle Creak, Nebraska. He bought the machine in Nebraska City and threshed along the westward road as far as Hamilton County.

In the spring of 1866, A. J. GILMORE, David BUSSARD, William WHITAKER, and William O. BUSSARD came to Nebraska in search of land in a covered wagon. After hunting and finding land that suited them, they had to return to Nebraska City to homestead the land. William O. BUSSARD and William WHITAKER returned east for their families. David BUSSARD remained where he purchased from a Mr. HALL, a very good two room log house, a lot of potatoes and large sorghum patch.
