O'Keefe Mr. O'Keefe was born at Fulton, IL, 12 Jun 1874, the son of John and Sarah (Killey) O'Keefe. There were four children in this family, three boys and a girl, all of whom were sent to the public school. Thomas attended with his brothers and sister until the family came to Nebraska in the spring of 1886, locating in Box Butte county. Thomas went to work for Jean Heath, the owner and editor of the Jean Heath Grip, a paper edited and printed at Nonpariel, NE. Thomas stayed with Mr. Heath for three years. After severing his connections with the Grip, he worked with C. A. Burlew, the publisher of the Box Butte County Rustler, published in Hemingford. After several years Thomas went to Omaha to take a special course in a commercial college, returning in Jun 1893 to become deputy postmaster of the town. A year later Mr. O'Keefe purchased the Box Butte County Democrat published at Hemingford, changing its name to the Hemingford Herald, and he continued to publish for seven years. He moved to Alliance in 1901, bringing the printing establishment with him. Here the paper was printed until 1909, when he sold it to Thomas Pierson. Mr. O'Keefe opened a real estate office, which he conducted until 1915, when he was appointed Register of Deeds in the Government Land Office at Alliance. In 1894 Mr. O'Keefe had been appointed Government Land Commissioner and transacted a great amount of business in regard to land and land laws from his office in Hemingford and Crawford. He is one of the most enthusiastic "boosters" of the upper valley. Mr. O'Keefe belonged to the Elks, the Modern Woodmen, the Royal High- landers, and Knights of Columbus. In 1911 Mr. O'Keefe married Miss Edith Snodgrass, a graduate of the State Normal School. At the time of her marriage, she was super- visor of music and taught in the city schools of Alliance. Four children were born to this union: Edith M., John R., Helen Lucille, & Jean Francis. ---------------------- from CA Death Records: 12 Feb 1986 - John Richard O'Keefe d.

Barr is a valued citizen of Weeping Water (a resident of the First Ward), where he is engaged in business as a fire insurance and real-estate agent, and as collector and conveyancer, and holds the offices of Justice of the Peace and Notary Public. Mr. Barr was born in Greene County, Ohio, July 15, 1849. His father, John W. Barr, was born in Virginia or Pennsylvania, and went to Ohio when a young man, and as a pioneer of Allen County, hewed out a farm for himself in the wilderness. He always lived in that part of the country after his removal to it until death called him hence, in 1875. He was an upright, conscientious man, and a consistent member of the Baptist Church, as was also his good wife, whose maiden name was Phoebe Snodgrass. She was the mother of eight children, all of whom lived to maturity, namely: John C., Joseph M., James V. B., Robert H., Henry D., Elizabeth, Minerva J. and Sally A. The four oldest boys served in the army, and two of them never came back alive. Robert II was killed while gallantly fighting at Atlanta, Ga.; Joseph was wounded at Harper's Ferry, Va., and was transferred to the invalid corps at Columbus, Ohio, in Camp Chase, and there died from the effects of his wound April 5, 1864. Sally married C. C. Hadsell, of Waterloo, Ind., and they are now living there; Minerva is in Waterloo, Ind.; John C. is in Ottawa, Ohio; James lives at Creston, Iowa, where he is engaged in the mercantile business; Elizabeth died in Allen County, Ohio. The mother of this family was born in Virginia in 1812, and accompanied her father, Daniel S. Snodgrass, to Ohio when young, and there lived until her marriage. She died in Weeping Water, Jan. 23, 1883. The subject of this sketch was but a babe when his parents moved to Allen County, and he was there reared amid pioneer influences. In 1861 he left the parental home and entered the printing-office of the Auglaize County Democrat, serving an apprenticeship of one year; from there he went to Lima, OH, and again entered a printing office, that of the Gazette, and was employed there a year and a half. In 1863 he was called home to stay with his parents, his older brothers having joined the army. He assisted in the management of the old homestead until 1865, when, the war being over, two of his brothers came back and relieved him from further duty. Thus gaining a thorough, practical knowledge of the art preservative, he next went into the office of the Allen County Democrat. Eighteen months later he was elected Assessor of his home ward, being then but twenty-five or twenty-six years of age. He discharged the onerous duties of that responsible office in a manner to call forth the warm praise of his fellow-citizens. He subsequently engaged in teaching, a vocation to which he was well adapted both by temperament and education. At one time he was appointed delinquent tax collector for the city of Lima, which office he filled satisfactorily. After his term of office expired he came West, abandoning the profession of teacher, he having taught nine terms. He also read law one year with Judge McBride. When he first came to Cass County, he stopped in Centre Precinct for a few months, and then spent the following winter in Iowa. He came back in the fall of 1880, and engaged on various papers, and was local writer and editor of the Republican, of Weeping Water, for a year, and he was also on the staff of the Cass County Eagle for two or three years. He subsequently went to Talmage and purchased the Tribune, of which paper he was editor and publisher until the spring of 1885. He then returned to this place, and was engaged on the Republican for a year. He was thus engaged when he received the appointment of Justice of the Peace, and resigned his connection with the paper to accept it, having been appointed to fill an unexpired term. In the fall of 1887, so satisfactory was his administration of the affairs of his office, he was elected for a full term, and qualified Jan. 1, 1888. Mr. Barr is a candid, sincere man, of unblemished character, whose intelligent, well-formed mind amply fits him for any station to which he may be called. He is influential in local politics and a standard bearer of the Republican party of Cass County. Socially, Mr. Barr belongs to the I.O.O.F., Prairie Lodge No. 25, also the Daughters of Rebecca, Woodland Lodge, at Weeping Water. - - - - - - - - - - page 1008: The Honorable Anderson Root, an ex-member of the Nebraska Legislature, and one of the solid citizens of Cass County, is a gentleman of more than ordinary capabilities, kind-hearted, public-spirited, and benevolent, possessing hosts of friends, and of that uniform and kindly temperament which carries a happy influence with him wherever he goes. He owns and occupies a fine farm on section 34, in Rock bluff Precinct, comprising 220 acres, and gives his support to all enterprises having for their object the general welfare of his community. His family comprises an amiable and intelligent wife, and a group of bright and interesting children, the latter named respectively: Charles T., who is a student at the school of telegraphy, Janesville, WI; Robert S., Eliza J., and Ralph Roy are at home. Mr. Root is a lifelong Republican politically, and he and his estimable wife are members in good standing of the United Presbyterian Church at Murray. The subject of this sketch is a great-grandson of Dr. Anson Root, an eminent physician in the State of Connecticut, where his entire life was passed. His son, Anson L. Root, grandfather of Anderson, was also a native of Connecticut, where he was reared, and where he married Miss Sally Brooks, also a native of that State. They remained in New England until after the birth of their son Charles T., father of our subject, then emigrated to Trumbull Co., OH, during the earliest settlement of the Buckeye State. There Grandfather Root battled successfully with the elements of the soil, and from the wilderness built up a good homestead, where he spent his last days. The grandmother later removed to Michigan, and spent the remainder of her life with her son Nelson, in Berrien Co., where death took place 16 Dec 1857. The father of the subject of this sketch was born in Connecticut, and went with his parents when they removed to Ohio. He staid in that state but three years, however, and then removed to Newaygo Co., MI, where he made his home until 1870, when he resolved to try his fortune in the new State of Nebraska, and came to Cass county. He has been twice married, his first wife being Miss Sarah A. Laughlin, mother of our subject, who died in 1849. Mr. Root again married, but is again a widower, and is now engaged in farming in Cheyenne Co., NE. The mother of our subject was a daughter of James Laughlin and his wife, whose maiden name was Rachel Matthews. The father of James, and maternal great- grandfather of Anderson Root was Alexander Laughlin, a native of County Down, Ireland, where he was united in marriage with Sarah Gordon, of the same county. Prior to the War of the Revolution he emigrated to America, and settled in Western Pennsylvania, where he engaged in farming, and there reared a large family. Tradition has it that he served in the Patriot Army for three years in the latter part of the Revolutionary War. He died 25 Jun 1822 at the age of 59 years and is buried in the Kinsman Cemetery in Trumbull Co., OH. Of the time of his wife's death we have not record. James Laughlin, son of Alexander, and grandfather of Anderson Root, was born in Beaver Co., PA, 10 Aug 1791. He became a farmer, and while yet a young man removed to Trumbull Co., OH, where he was married to Rachel Matthews, and reared a large family. A man of unbounded enterprise and energy, he hewed out of the wilderness a good home, and acquired an ample competence for his declining years. On the breaking out of the War of 1812, imbued with the patriotic impulses of his sire, he enlisted as a private in the United States Army, and served until the close of the war. Receiving an honorable discharge, he returned to the pursuits of peace, and died 10 Jul 1868, aged 76 years, 11 months, and 18 days. In politics Mr. Laughlin was originally a Whig, but on its formation joined the ranks of the Republican party, with which he ever after affiliated. He and his wife were both members of the Presbyterian Church. Rachel Matthews, wife of James Laughlin, and grandmother of Anderson Root, was also a native of Beaver Co., PA, and was a daughter of Deacon William Matthews, who was born in County Down, Ireland, and emigrated to America while a young man. With the innate love of liberty characteristic of the sturdy race from which he sprang, he entered the Continental Army, and for three years battled for the freedom of his adopted country. He fought until the close of the war, and with the return of peace and the assumed liberty of the Colonies, left the army, receiving an honorable discharge, and in the latter years of his life drew a pension. He had settled at Georgetown, near the mouth of the Little Beaver river, in Beaver Co., PA, to which he returned, and there he was married and reared a numerous family. In 1804 the patriot soldier decided to go farther West, and removed to a farm on what was then known as the "Center road" in Trumbull Co., OH, where he lived until he had attained the ripe old age of 83, dying in 1834, full of years and honor. For many years in Ohio he had been Justice of the Peace, an important office in that day and country. In regard to this venerable old pioneer we extract the following from "Historical Collections of the Mahoning Valley, OH," published in 1876: "The name of Deacon Matthews should be remembered and cherished, not only by his descendants, but by all the inhabitants of the township of Kinsman, Trumbull Co., OH, especially all those who are interested in its moral and religious improvement. In this regard his influence was greater and entered more deeply into the structure of society than that of any other of the first settlers of the town. He early established religious meetings and assemblies of worship on the Sabbath, where there were no clergymen present, as there was not except occasionally until 1813, and he always conducted the meetings. His attendance was a fixed habit, no matter what the state of the weather or roads. Whether hot or cold, wet or dry, mud or snow, he was in his place promptly at the hour of service. His venerable appearance always commanded respect, and his meek and unostentatious manner and fervency of spirit gave all who knew him confidence in the sincerity of the religion he professed." From such stock on both sides our subject drew those inspirations which have been his guide through life; of sterling worth, these hardy pioneers were well fitted to become the progenitors of a race embracing all those attributes which go to make up the best type of American manhood and womanhood. Prominent among their characteristics were deep religious convictions, and an unflinching loyalty and patriotism shown by them and their descendants in three wars--the Revolution, 1812, and the great Rebellion. Anderson Root was born Aug. 14, 1842, in Trumbull County, Ohio, where he pursued his first studies in the district school, and became familiar with farming as carried on in the pioneer days. His education was completed by an attendance of one term at Jamestown (Pa.) Seminary. On the 7th of December, 1864, he was united in marriage with Miss Margaret L., daughter of Robert and Eliza J. (Thompson) Snodgrass. William Snodgrass, the paternal grandfather of Mrs. Root, was a native of Ireland, whence he emigrated to America when a small boy. He married Miss Margaret McMaster, and about 1800 located in Crawford County, Pa., when that portion of the Keystone State bore little evidence of civilization. He built the first farmhouse in his neighborhood, at a time when his nearest market was at Meadville, a distance of twenty miles away. Upon the Crawford County farm there was reared a family of five children, and there the grandparents looked their last upon the scenes of earth. Their son Robert was the eldest born, and spent all his life at the old homestead, dying there in November, 1887. His wife, the mother of Mrs. Root, still lives there and has now arrived at the age of seventy-four years. They were the parents of four daughters, Margaret L. being the second born. William and Mary (Latta) Thompson, the maternal grandparents of Mrs. Root, were natives of Ireland, and of Scotch ancestry. They came to the United States with their respected parents when mere children, and spent the remainder of their lives in Crawford Co., Pa. They trace their progenitors to the Erskines, one of the best families in Scotland. Mr. and Mrs. Root were married at the old Snodgrass homestead in Crawford Co., PA, and lived there until Sep 1865. Then deciding to cast their lot with the pioneers of Nebraska Territory, they came to this county, and were residents of Rock Bluff Precinct seven years. Next they removed to the farm of the State Agricultural Society of Lincoln, over which Mr. Root had been appointed Superintendent, and there they lived three years. Mr. Root had in the meantime purchased 320 acres of land in Rock Bluff Precinct, to which he returned. Later he sold 100 acres of this, having now 220 acres, and is largely interested in the raising of cattle and horses. The Root farm and its appurtenances indicates on all sides the thoroughness and skill with which the land has been cultivated, and the good management of the proprietor. A large portion of the land is necessarily devoted to pasture, and the barns and outhouses are furnished with all modern conveniences for the shelter and care of stock. The residence is in keeping with the taste and means of the proprietor. During the late Civil War, Mr. Root, in Aug 1861, enlisted in the 2d Ohio Cavalry, and journeyed with his comrades through Missouri, Kansas, and the Indian Territory, under command of Gen. Blunt. In 1862 he was in the Indian expedition under Gen. Weir. He met the rebels in several hand-to-hand conflicts, but escaped wounds and capture. He was, however, injured by the accidental falling of his horse upon him while at Columbus, OH, recruiting his regiment both with men and horses, and was obliged to accept an honorable discharge 11 Mar 1863. Mr. Root upon coming to this section of country was at once recognized as a valued addition to the community, and after filling many positions of trust, and otherwise indicating his ability for business and his integrity of character, was selected by the Republican party as their candidate for the State Legislature, and being elected, discharged his duties in a manner creditable to himself and satisfactory to his constituents. He has never indicated a desire for office, preferring the quiet of his farm and family. He cast his first Presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln, and has ever been a uniform supporter of Republican principles. ---------------------------- 1900 Cass Co NE Census/Soundex Rock Bluff Precinct, 5-16-6-14: Byron A.

Worthan Family: Marion Henry Worthan was born 2 Nov 1889 near Dunnegan, MO. He was raised on a farm near there. He married Laura Elizabeth Nickels (born 22 Oct 1890) on 23 Oct 1910 at Dunnegan. They resided near Adams, MO, for a year. Then they moved to a farm near Dunnegan, where their three oldest children were born. They lived there for six years before moving to Cass Co., NE. They settled near Union until 15 Feb 1917 when they moved to a farm near Murray. In the spring of 1943 they moved to their own 80 acre farm, which was four miles west of Murray. They sold this place in 1948 and moved to Plattsmouth where Marion was employed in the Cass Co. Surveyor's Office until they moved to Murray in 1957. They were very active in the Murray Christian Church for many years, both teaching Sunday School classes for over 20 years. Marion served as an elder and a trustee, and Laura was the Cradle Roll Superintendent for over 25 years. They celebrated their 50th and 60th Wedding Anniversaries. An interesting fact: During their farming years around Murray, they never lived more than five miles from town. Laura Worthan died 4 Mar 1971 at St. Mary's Hospital in Nebraska City, and Marion died 16 Nov 1973 at St. Mary's Hospital in Nebraska City.

Prohibition extended from 1920 to 1933. "Moonshine" stills dotted every part of the country, according to former county sheriff Otho Kime. Some operators produced strictly for home use while others found a saleable product during the Depression. Buck Junod of Mullen said Frank Kobelia worked for Henry and operated a still for a couple of years. Daybook entries note that Frank's daughter and husband, Quay and Mary Helen Snodgrass, worked for L. C. Kobelia had separated from his family and was known as a skilled brewmaster. Bottles of the illegal brew were said to have been buried in the sand previous to a dance. A customer was taken to the spot where a boot mark in the sand noted the location. Legend has it that barrels of Kobelia's brew found the way to the Paxton Hotel, where it was lauded as, "the best available in Omaha." A neighbor stumbled onto the still location and reported it to sheriff Bert Hammon, who made a telephone call instead of a raid. Henry said that he and the other dozen people on the party line all got the message. In 1954 the remaining relics of the still were donated to Morris Sawyer's museum. ############################# CHEYENNE COUNTY (978.296) CEMETERY RECORDS Cheyenne Co.

Durnell was born 1 Jan 1890 at Elwood, NE [vss - Gosper Co NE]. He was the son of Courtland Clinton Durnell, who was born at Des Moines, IA, in 1859, and passed away in Aug 1934. His mother was Ada Snodgrass Durnell, born in Rosehill, IA, 27 Aug 1872. Her family moved to Kansas when she was a girl and later moved to Elwood, NE, where she met Courtland Durnell and was married there in 1889. Five children were born to them at Elwood, NE, Clarence being the oldest, Dewey of California, Ray of Lincoln, NE, Eva of California, and Lennie. The family came in 1900 in a covered wagon to Sidney [Cheyenne Co NE]. Dewey, Clarence, and their father came in the wagon, the rest of the family came by train. It took one week to make the trip with the wagon. Ada passed away 28 Dec 1946. Clarence was a barber and town constable. He was married to Ella R. Hougen, 19 Jul 1913. She was the daughter of Edwin Leopold Hougen, who was born 17 Nov 1866 at Bestaken, Norway (passed away 16 Apr 1932) and Ellen Ann Viken, also born in Norway. Ella was born at Potter, NE, in a sod house on her parents' homestead ten and a half miles northwest of the town in a precinct called Sextorp. She was born 29 Jul 1892 and passed away 12 Jan 1976 as the result of a stroke. Their daughter, Vivian, recalled that her father's nickname was "Shag." The reason being that he had a dog named Shag as a boy, and everywhere Clarence went the dog was with him, so they started calling him "Shag." Some people in Sidney never knew his real name. Even his son, Lennie, was also called "Shag." The following children were born to this union: 1. Doris married to Richard Scriber, lived in California. Richard is deceased and Doris lives at Paxton, NE. Their children are Richard, Shirley, and Michael, all of whom live in Denver, CO. 2. Lennie Lamont, who married Alice Taylor, lives in California, and has one daughter, Mary Alice. 3. Vivian, who married Harold Miller, and has lived in Sidney all their lives. See their story elsewhere in this history. Clarence worked as a policeman, on the street department for years, then on the police department again. Ella worked in Hazel's Cafe when she worked outside the home. -- by Cleo Schmidt ############## end Cheyenne Co NE ################ CLAY COUNTY (978.2357) CEMETERY RECORDS Edgar Cemetery, Edgar, Clay Co., NE (Jacobs) NS Edgar City Cemetery, Edgar, Clay Co., NE (Persinger) NS First Evangelical Church & Cemetery, Clay Co., NE (Sherard) NS Nebraska Ancestree, vol. 2 - yes HISTORY & GENEALOGY Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Adams, Clay, Hall, and Hamilton Cos., NE (Goodspeed--1890) [partial index] NS History of Hamilton & Clay Cos., NE (Stough--1921) [partial index] NS MILITARY RECORDS Civil War Veterans, Clay Co., NE (Sherard) NS *********************************** RECORDS 2 Jan 1877 -- Rose Snodgrass, d/o W.
