13 February 1885:

The following on Douglas County was prepared in a regular school exercise by a pupil of the Elk City school in this county. The paper is a summary of the facts learned about the county. It is a specimen of what may be done in the way of studying local or home geography, and writing up the same by pupils in our schools. The time allotted to the county by the class was four lessons, including the mappping (sic) of the county and the writing and re-writing. The text book of course had to be supplemented. W. S. ANDERSON, teacher.

DOUGLAS COUNTY

Douglas county is situated in the eastern part of Nebraska about halfway from the northern to the southern boundries. Bounded on the north by Dodge and Washington counties, on the east by Iowa from which it is separated by the Missouri River, on the south by Sarpy county on the west by Saunders county being separated from it by the Platte River. The county, oblong in shape, averaging 24 miles long and 14 miles wide. Contains 360 square miles or 230,400 acres. This county has three large rivers: Missouri along its eastern boundary, the Platte along its western border and the Elkhorn flowing through it from north to south.

There are four smaller streams: the Big Pappio and Little Pappio, the Rawhide and Walnut.

(Wild life, forest trees, wild fowls are listed.) Minerals are not very numerous but limestone and granite is quarried at considerable profit.

Chief domestic animals are cattle, hogs, horses and barn yard fowls. Principal field crops are: corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, flax, potatoes etc. Fruits are: apples, plums, cherries and pears among the small fruits are gooseberries, currents, black berries, raspberries, strawberries etc.

The population of Douglas county is about seventy thousand consisting principally of whites, several hundred negroes and a few chinamen. Douglas county is governed by its officers which are elected by the people. There are three commissioners, one clerk, judge, sheriff, treasurer, superintendant of schools and coroner. The above offices are held by: CORLISS, O'KIEF and TIMME, LEAVITT, McCULLOCH, MILLER, RUSH, BRUNNER and DREXEL respectively. There are several courts: United States Court, District Court, County Court, Justice Court; and in the city of Omaha there is the Police Court.

Outside of Omaha the county is divided into eleven precincts for voting purposes. Omaha is divided into six wards for voting purposes; making seventeen in all - each of them having an assessor, and there are over forty districts for school purposes, each of these having their own schools and school officers.

The chief occupations are farming, manufacturing, commerce, and stock raising.

Omaha is situated on the Missouri river. It is the County Seat of Douglas county and the largest city in Nebraska. It has transporting facilities by the river and all the rail roads that come in from every direction; among these are the Union Pacific from the west, the Missouri & Pacific from the south, the Sioux City from the east, the Omaha & North western from the north. Omaha is laid off into blocks separated by streets one hundred feet wide running at right angles. About half of them are paved and are quite smooth.

On each of the principle streets is a street car line. They are lighted by gas lamps. The town is drained by underground sewers and supplied with water by the Omaha Water Works Company.

(History of Douglas County, continued)

Nearly all the commercial business is done on the streets running east and west - Farnham and Douglas are the most important. Sixteenth is next of importance running out to the fair grounds north of town where the state fair has been held for the last five or six years. The fair ground is connected with the Union Pacific and Missouri & Burlington depot by a street car line. The most important public buildings are the U.S.P.O. building, the new court house, high school building, Boyd's opera house, the Paxton and Millard hotels. Omaha has many wholesale houses and banks of high standing.

The machine shops, foundry, smelting works, nail factory, shot tower, linseed oil works and all such business is in southeast Omaha on the bottom land. The stock yards are the best west of Chicago.

Among the most important residences of Omaha are Mr. POPPLETON'S, Mr. WOODMAN'S and Dr. MERCER of north Omaha, Mr. HOGELAND and others in the western part.

The other towns of Douglas county are Millard, Elkhorn Station, Waterloo, Valley, Riverside, Elk City, Summer Hill, Irvington, Florence, Saratoga, Mills Creek, Summit. Waterloo is a thriving town on the Elkhorn river. Valley is at the junction of the Union Pacific and Lincoln & Republican Valley railroad. Summer Hill and Irvington are mail stations on an overland mail route from Omaha to Elk City.

Saratoga is situated about two miles north of the city of Omaha. It is occupied by United States troops and is called Fort Omaha. The other towns above mentioned are railroad stations of not much importance. Douglas county was first visited in 1804 by Louis and Clark. They camped on the present site of Omaha. In the year 1825 it is said that T. B. ROYE established a trading post at Omaha but how long he remained there is not known. The first important emmigration into Douglas county was the Mormons on their way to Salt Lake City, Utah from Nauvoo, Illinois in 1845. Before they left there were about 15000 of them.

The first surveying in Douglas county was done in the winter of 1853 and 1854.

The first post office was established at Omaha, and the first letters received May 6th, 1854.

Omaha was chosen capitol of the territory of Nebraska in 1855. The boundaries of Douglas county were established in 1854 by the first Territorial Legislature.

The first train from east to Omaha "over the North Western rail road" was greeted with enthusiastic rejoicing on the 17th of January 1867. The Union Pacific was already begun, but not finished until 1869. The U.P. company built an iron bridge across the Missouri river, connecting Omaha with Countil (sic) Bluffs, Iowa. In 1867 Nebraska was admitted as a state, after this the Capitol was removed to Lincoln. Among the oldest towns in Douglas county are Omaha, Florence and Elk City.

CENTER SCHOOL, DISTRICT NO. 27, Woodville Twp., Platte Co. Ne--1918

"Center School was located 4 miles east and 1 1/2 miles north of St Edwards, NE. The building is now someone's garage; The District became part of Bunker Hill, located approximately 4 miles east of St. Edwards on a paved road that goes past the St. Edwards cemetery. Several districts merged and they now have 3 teachers. Alma JOHNSON JENSEN was my aunt, graduated from high school in 1925, so must have been in about 5th grade in 1918. Belle CURRY, the teacher, is Belle CUMMINGS of St. Edwards, My aunt Alma lives in Columbus, also Clifford Jensen."
