He imported the tlrst safe for the
deposit of money into tho couuty.
lie became the first depositary and
loaner of money. yjj,
Such of the strungers who cuineto
the country with means gave it to him
for safe keeplug, or investment. Men
who wanted to borrow went to ' him
for loans. He gave everybody fair
treatment. His integrity, fair dealing
aud his gcueral credit Wore never once
called in question. He Utst establish
ed a price for couuty warrants, which
remained constant through all the
years in which the railroad company,
the only lauded taxpayer, paid no
taxes.
Ile helped to found the first paper
of the valley, The Chief. He also en
couraged A. J. Keuuey to establish tho
Argus, and ho was one of the founders
of the Republican, which subsequently
became merged iu The Chief.
He made tho tlrst general market for
the produce of the farms, especially
cattle and bogs. These ho purchased
aud drove or hauled to Hastings.
In 1877 he built the first bank build
ing uud procured Smith Hi others of
Beatiice to come and manage it.
From the time of his artival here
antil he quit business, theic was never
a momtut when his financial credit
was not sufficient for the needs of the
community, and there was no time
when this credit was not avuilable to
those who showed themselves deserv-'
injr.
In 1874 when the grasshopper raid
prostrated all busiuess, he shipped iu
seed corn, and sold it out, taking notes
payable wheuthe crops should be
harvested in the fall.
He exerted himself to bring about a
settlement between the railroad com
pany uud the couuty in tho matter of
the taxes, aud put the county lluauces
on a cash busts.
lie was instrumental in procuring
the building ot the first rallwuy Into
the county.
He promoted the first incdrpoiatlon
ot the village.
Wlteu the railway entered the
county he became tho principal ship
per of stock for uli western Nebraska
and northern Kansas.
Moro than anyone else ho stood for
business integtity, commercial fair
dealing, muklug his word good.
