PROGRESS AND PROBLEMS of a PIONEER FAMILY
As recalled and written by Benjamin Arthur MELLICK in 1968

This story is based on the stories my Dad told us kids as we were growing up before the event of radio and TV. when we were anxious and interested in homemade entertainment.

My Granddad, Ross MELLICK, and his wife and family were of Pennsylvania Dutch stock and moved to Canada and settled on the shore of Lake Huron, Canada. There was a large family of them, seven boys and three girls. Grandfather died soon after they had settled in Canada.

Soon after his death the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase and offered free homestead lands in the states of Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. News of this spread and also wonderful stories of how rich the soil and the big corn and all ... it sounded real good to them so they decided to sell their home and holdings and move to Nebraska. They sold their property for $1100. cash. Grandma and each child got $100. Two of Dad's brothers, Jim and Albert, one sister, Lydia, and her husband Alex MINER and Grandma came to Nebraska in the summer of 1862.

Soon after their arrival they found the stories were true about the fine crops and rich soil, etc. But they also found that there was no market for the abundant crops of corn, wheat, hogs, chickens, eggs, etc., so their enthusiasm was somewhat dampened.

Having been raised on the lake about the time when steamboats came in, they had had some experience in the steamboating business; also they had worked in the woods, sawmills and so forth. There was a small steamboat

anchored on the Missouri River that was for sale and they decided to buy it and haul salt pork to New Orleans. After buying the boat and parting with most of their money they found the boat was covered with so many coats of paint they didn't know that the wooden hull was so rotten it was worthless. The boilers and engines and other machinery in the boat were in quite good shape, so being quite resourceful, they decided to use the machinery to build a sawmill. There was a lot of cottonwood timber along the Platte River and it's tributaries and it was free to anyone who wanted to cut it. Also, there was a big demand for lumber for homesteaders houses, new towns, railroad ties, etc.

They built their sawmill and went to work. They cut logs and skidded and hauled them into the Platte River and floated them downstream to their mill. They worked for several years until they were floating logs for over fifty miles ... which was becoming too expensive.

My Dad and Uncle Albert had both married in the meantime. Dad married Mom who came from Sweden when she was 16 years old. Uncle Jim never married.

The timber supply was about exhausted but luck was with them again. Gold was discovered in the Black Hills. They knew there was plenty of timber in the hills. Also, they reasoned, there would be a good market for lumber for the mines shacks, sluice flumes, etc. They yoked up their oxen, loaded the mill and their families and headed for "the hills". After arriving they found the timber good and the market strong. But too many of their customers didn't strike gold and had no other money.

On one occasion they sold a big, four-horse load of lumber to a homesteader out on the prairie north of Rapid City. Dad and my older brother, Lew, hauled the load to him and after the long two day trip, found the man had only half enough money to pay for the load. He had a herd of beef cattle, so Dad took half of a beef they butchered the night before they started home.

On the way home they camped over night and tried to cook some of the meat for their supper. I guess the beef was pretty tough and also guess they perhaps didn't do a very bang-up job cooking it. Anyway, Dad bit off more then he could chew and choked on it. He was about to choke to death when Lew got the four-horse whip stock, which was real well polished and slick, and rammed it down Dad's throat and saved his life.

The three brothers and Uncle Alex all worked together at the sawmill business. When business was good and payments were prompt each one was paid a wage. When things got rough no one got any pay. The management of the business and boss of the outfit went to the one who had the most money coming in back wages. When he managed to make enough to pay his own back wages there was generally one or more of the others that wasn't getting paid regularly so pretty soon someone else was boss. After a few years of operation the whole of the Black Hills was declared a National Forest Reserve and no more live timber could be cut. Dead timber was the only thing that could be cut. This rule just about ruined the sawmill business, as dead pine made very poor lumber.

Progress and Problems of a Pioneer Family (continued)

There was a family living in a place on Rapid Creek by the name of CABLE who had a brother who lived in the State Line District Southwest of Post Falls, Idaho. The Idaho CABLES wrote letters to the Dakota CABLES telling what a wonderful country Idaho was. Mild winters, which sounded real good to anyone used to the Dakota blizzards, and plenty of rain, which sounded good to those who had experienced Dakota hot winds and drouth, apples, cherries, peaches, prunes, pears ... man that sounded like Paradise to the folks in Dakota who never got anything but a few wild raspberries and choke cherries.

Anyway, these glowing accounts of Idaho influenced my Dad and Mother, Ed KYLE and my sister Maude, Granddad KYLE and his wife, to sell their holdings and form a small wagon train and start for Idaho.

Dad and his brothers had a chance to sell most of the machinery out of the sawmill to a mining concern who used it to run a stampmill operation. Dad had a small herd of beef cattle, 100 head all told, counting cows, yearlings, and 2 & 3 year olds. He got $1000. for the 100 head and threw in the spring calf crop free.

They left Silver City on the 5th of July with Guy, my oldest brother, driving a 4 horse team on one wagon, Dad with a 2 horse team, Ed KYLE one big wagon, Maude, his wife, one wagon and Granddad KYLE one wagon ... 5 covered wagons all told.

They had two saddle horses and two spring colts. They had all of the stock shod before starting but no one thought to shoe the young colts. After a few days of travel the colts began to get tender footed and had to be shod. They came to a small town in Wyoming where the blacksmith hand made shoes to fit the colts and shod them.

They carried the usual provisions: bacon, flour, coffee, raisins, canned goods, etc. A good part of their living came from hunting and fishing along the way. Prairie chickens were plentiful and fish were everywhere. If you could catch a grasshopper for bait you were sure to catch a fish and you didn't need a fancy reel, leaders and fancy flies and rods. A willow pole and a stout line and a hook and a grasshopper.

After 40 or 50 years of travel along their route, previous wagon trains had used all of the dead and dry wood for camp fires, so this was a problem. It was the chore of all of us younger kids to take pails and gather buffalo chips to do the cooking.

The horses were all hobbled at night and turned loose to graze with a bell or two on some of them. They always picketed one saddle horse at camp to ride after the herd the next morning.

They forded many of the smaller streams and crossed some on ferry boats. One ferry was run by an Indian and he had about six squaws with long poles and paddles that powered the craft.

Their route was through the Big Horn Mountains, Yellowstone Park, Western Montana to Thompson Falls and on into the Spokane Valley. They made their last camp on State Line Creek in Hank CABLE'S pasture on the 21st

day of September 1902. They camped at this site for two weeks while looking for a place for each family to locate.

Dad had a chance to buy out a homesteader's squatter's right from a man named WILLIS for $500. It had a log cabin, barn, and about 10 acres cleared. There was a small orchard which was what they were looking for.

Ed and Maude KYLE located on a place joining Dad's on the west. They bought from a man named HAMPTON. I don't know how much they paid for it. Granddad KYLE bought 160 acres that joined Dad's place on the north.

That just about tells the tale as far as I know it.

NOTE: Janet DUNLAP CUTUP writes - "I thought you might like a copy of "Progress and Problems of a Pioneer Family", a reminiscence by my greatuncle. His mother, Nettie JOHNSON MELLICK (my great-grandmother), was born in Sweden, married Nelson MELLICK in Papillion, NE in 1876."
