EARLY SETTLERS

Valley County Settlers

Check for your ancestor in Andreas History of Nebraska (1882)

Horace DAVIS, my great grandfather, owned the Ord Journal and continued to write about family, history and politics his entire life. Horace was a state senator, state fire marshall, a school superintendant, journalist and farmer. Family legend holds that Horace was a campaign manager for Wm. Jennings BRYAN. I can support that they were friends, but I can't substantiate the claim. He lived and wrote for nearly 100 years. These articles are great! (Though highly romantisized (sic?) Examples- So You Want to Build a Sod House, Happy Jack Remembered, etc. I would like to know if there are any descendants still in the area or any interest in my materials.
