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.

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

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. JJe was

heavier than hens' eggs and commence
tossing them up In tbe air, catching
them as they returned. Soon his hands
