On Friday morning of last week, January 31, 1908, the messenger of death called William Nixon, of Homer, ro nis last long resting place, ms death was inoident to old age.he being in hit 89th ye. r at the time of death. Uncle Uii'y" Nixon, as he was known to aln ost every resident of Da kota county, was quiet, unassuming man, kind and gererous to all with whom he associated or come in oou- tact and whose word was as gr-od as his bond. fie txok an ac'ire part in theaffniis 0, the tIoneers and old settlers associ atioD ;nd few yeBrs ugo aerved a. ita aident. healtn nH8 beeI as president. Ilis health hus been gradually failing for some years and his familliar figure bis been missed at the last few meetings of the associa tion. Coming to Dakota oonnty in the early days he had amassed considera ble wealth, principally from investing in land, and also by strict attentiou to his large farming interests. lie bad been raised a Presbyterian, but as there was no church of that de nomination in his locality he joined the Lutheran church at Homer as one oi its charter members, and siuoe then has been a sUunoh supporter of that church. The followiug biographical sketch of his life is taken from Warner's his tory of Dakota County : "William Nixon bent his steps west ward in 1856, landing upou Dakota county's fertile soil March 2f , of that year, and since tnat time the fertility of her oil, added to his exbaustless energy, has yielded tor him one of the most beautful farms in northern Ne braska. He first located on the O B UUven place, and afterwards took a claim a short distance south of ' where Homer now stands. Mr Nixon bought five sacks of flour of W O Mo Heath, of Omadi, built a rude house, and other wise prepared for that stormy winter RA r.7 In the spring he went to Counoil Bluffs for snpplios. The roads were almost impassable, many abandoning their loads until the roads were better. He made elow progress averaging but five miles a day, and finely the roads cot so muddy and he made suoh slow progress that he found it convenient to stop at the same house two nights in succession. There were but few houses between Dakota City and Counoil Bluffs. Here on his claim he has lived to the present time, and when an honest, upright man of pusu and energy settles .down on a piece of land and sticks to It for more Monday with Rev McCarthy of this plaoe, if v. ii.

He has had h s battles to fight with mishaps and accident', just the same as other mortals. But men are not alike. Some sink beneath the weight of their trials and troubles, others are seen above the foam where none but the brave aad strong can float. Why is it that those who began the race fot fortune more than a quarter of a cen tury ago ar.i now so widely scattered aloDg the line? Life is a battle, sad energy is the rinnon. Perhaps those who are accustomed to seeing Mr Nixon's luxurious home of to-day would like to have a pen picture of it as the pioneers knew the place in ear ly times. He lived in a small log cabin, and sheds took the plaoe of his large barn and other substantial build iogs; stock of all kinds, was rather slim around the premises; not a fruit tree was to be seen; no beautiful groves all was a barren prairie and some of the good old veterans who lived on the bottom said he was foolish for going "so far out among the deso late hills" to live. But he went, all the same, snd has lived there to wit ness the human tide that subsequently rolled across the wide Missouri valley dotting the land with pleasant homes, until to day be is in the midst of tnioKir settled commcnity.
