The Soldiers' and Sailors' Home in Grand Island opened in 1888, fifty-two veterans were admitted under its roof. From that time until the present (1897) the membership has grown to nearly 250 people, officers, inmates, and employees. It must be remembered that the veterans of the late war are now old men, very few being under fifty-five years of age, and require care and comforts denied them elsewhere.
The records show that the first commandant of the Home was John HAMMOND; second, Miles ZENTMYER; third, W.C. HENRY; fourth, D.C. SCOVILLE; fifth, the present commandant, Col. Jno. W. WILSON.
Visiting & examining board consists of Mrs. L.A. BATES, president, Aurora; C.D. CASPER, David City, secretary; Mrs. E.M. ABBOTT; W.E. MORGAN, Greeley; G.N. SMITH, Kearney. Col. WILSON's assistants are Dan ALTHEN, adjutant & guartermaster; S. SADLER, Surgeon; Mrs. Hannah ZIMMER, matron; J.E. KIRKPATRICK, chief clerk, M. O'BRIEN, quartermaster & orderly sergeant; D.C. HART, librarian; John MURRAY, farm superintendent; E.H. BAKER, Sr. & M.J. BROWNE, engineers & electricians; E.E. GRAHAM, laundryman; James FOLSON, chief cook; C.F. TERWILLIGER, carpenter.
The New Commander: (for 1897)
John A. EHRHARDT, Dept. Comander elect, was born in Erback, Germany, Dec. 6, 1848. He emigrated to this country in 1854 & settled in Chambersburg, PA, where his father died two years later. John became a member of Company F, 52 Illinois Infantry, and at the close of the War took a course of instruction in the Illinois Military Academy, after which he enlisted in the regular army and was assigned to Co. K, 19th Inf. After leaving the service he was employed until 1876 when he was admitted to the bar, and removed the next year to Stanton, NE, where he has pursued the profession and is now county attorney. He joined the G.A.R. in 1883 and is a charter member of Kendall Post #190.

TALE OF A TORNADO, Franklin Co. Ne. This account is taken from the Franklin, NE paper; the tornado occurred on the 5th of June 1908, and the accounts are not exaggerated in the least for I was living in Franklin at the time and remember it well. My father was rural mail carrier over most of the territory mentioned. We drove out on the evening of June 5th and was over most of the places mentioned and I still see the devastation and destruction. Archie WHITMORE was my uncle and he got his family in the cave but when they came up, they looked upon a scene of utter loss, his buildings were kindling and his livestock lay dead. The area was straight south of Franklin about 5 or 6 miles near the Nebraska-Kansas border.
The most terrible twisters that have ever visited this section of the state swept over the country Friday afternoon leaving death and destruction in its wake. Where once splendid residences and out building stood dotting the countryside for miles, large groves and orchards, beautiful and majestic in their aummer foliage now like but broken and twisted remnants of their former beauty. The tornados were two in number and the results were about equal save for the death occasioned by the one passing over the REAMS country. One started on its wave of destruction near the home of Mr. LANTIS, Sr., and swept down upon the unfortunate family with a bound. The old gentleman saw the approaching storm and rushed outside the house but
Vol VI, no. 1, page 31 - Summer 1983
Tale of a Tornado continued:being well along in years and somewhat feeble was soon swept off his feet and it was some moments ere he could recover his breath. In the meantime, the house was lifted in the air and those on the inside can hardly explain who and what happened so sudden and sure was the wreck accomplished. Mr. LANTIS lost all his splendid buildings and the work of years must now be started anew. Lon COOK, who had just completed a fine house at a large cost was directly in the path of the storm and where the imposing residence stood is now bare ground save for the wreck of the foundation which still marks the site where the house stood. The house was reduced to splinters, together with the barn and other buildings. Dead chickens, stripped of their feathers were wedged in between and under the wreckage, broken machinery piled here and there. He lost four valuable horses, together with all his household goods and farm machinery, fences, wagons, buggies, etc.
The storm next visited the home of A. WHITMORE and repeated its awful destruction. Not a building was left standing to mark the once prosperous home of Mr. WHITMORE. Them the storm passed on to the Plainview school house, No. 49, and the landmark that adorned the hill top, visible for many miles on either side of the Republican River was reduced to kindling wood and scattered over the prairie and pastures for a great distance. On the twister swept in it fury and descended upon the home of Lee BORLAND and laid bare the home of that gentleman who had only moved upon this farm this spring and had purchased a complete outfit of farming machinery, wagons, etc. He lost four valuable horses and some other livestock. Mrs. BORLAND was injured, being cut across the forehead and other painful bruises about the face and body. Her father, Mr. BARSTOW, was also painfully injured and lost all his property. The storm then passed on to the home of Mr. CUMMINGS, residing on the JONES place and left all his effects scattered down the creek for a half mile or more. Mr. CROOP residing on the PETERSON farm, saw the storm approaching and he and his family started for safety. Fortunately no one was injured at their place but to look at the wreckage one can but marvel that anyone did escape injury. The pump, platform and 40 ft of pipe were lifted from the well and deposited some distance from the well. Mrs. JUHL suffered the loss of all her buildings, together with her household goods and farm machinery. W.E. AUMAN and Lester LANTIS, living near each other, lost all their buildings, livestock and machinery. Steve PALMER lost his large barn but his house was spared.
The new residence of Frank KEMPER was wrecked, together with his barn and sheds; large pieces of timber were driven into the house with terrific force. It was at this place that the one death occurred. Mr. Henry MADISON was on his way from town with a load of telephone poles when the storm struck him near the home of Mr. KEMPER. He drove toward the KEMPER house and they, having gone into the cellar near by, called to him and he threw down the lines and jumped from the wagon, presumably to enter the cellar. That was the last seen of him until the storm had passed and his body was discovered near the place where he was last seen. Mr. TUCKER who lives on the REAMS farm was hit hard by the storm; he was in bed at the time having suffered a broken leg some few days ago, but the strange part of it is, that while he was unable to move, he was not hurt but his family was buffeted about and hurt considerably. The home of Bart REAMS was hit with terrific force and everything was wrecked. The family made it to the cellar in safety. The large natural grove that has stood the test of wind and storm for Lo! these many years has finally met its master and now lies a twisted and broken mass. George PIERCE and Mr. EMERSON suffered the loss of their farm buildings. At EMERSON's the pump was also lifted from the well and deposited a considerable distance away. Crossing the river the storm visited the home of R.N. CRAWFORD and wrought havoc with the buildings. Tommy ANDERSON and Tommy ROBERTSON and Edgar BUSTER also had losses. There were 11 head of horses in the Frank SMITH pasture and the entire herd was picked up and carried over the bluffs and landed near the road, only one being killed.
Those experiencing this storm will not likely soon forget it and you can be sure that their rebuilt homes will be furnished with a good strong storm cellar.
