Frederick C. Gatz was born in Bar
ton, Heidelberg, Germany, February
22, 1851; he came to America at the
age of 17 years; he worked in a meat
market in Baltimore, Maryland, for a
couple of years before going to Oma
ha where he purchased four acres of
land where the Cudahy Packing Plant
now stands, and engaged in the soap
business on a small scale. He paid
SfiOO for the four acres and two years
later he sold it for $800. At that
time—1873—there was but one street
—Furnam street, and the town had
but a few hundred inhabitants. He
went to Columbus, Nebraska in 1873
and entered into the meat and ice
business which he conducted until
1882 when he came to O’Neill.
Miss Elizabeth Engel was born in
Middletown, Butler county, Ohio, on
January 12, 1857. A few years later
her parents moved to Areola, Illinois;
she came to Nebraska in the early
60’s with her parents, Mr. and Mrs,
George J. Engel, who located in Col
umbus, where she resided until her
marriage to Mr. Gatz on October 24,
1880; they came to O’Neill and rented
of Billy Ryan a 20x20 shack that
stood on the corner where the Mc
Nally filling station now stands, and
wrent into the meat and ice business;
he later bought two lots near the cen
ter of the block and built a meat mar
ket and the following year he built
another building and rented it to
Evans & Thomas, who opened a res
taurant; later he built an addition to
the building and W. T. Evans opened
the Evans h«tel which he conducted
for thirty years. Mr. Gatz continued
the meat and ice business until about
fifteen years ago when he sold the
shop and turned the ice business over
to his sons, Edward and Clinton, who
still conduct it under the name of
Gatz Bros.

ner were Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Clift and
daughter, Miss Meta, sons George
and Bob, Long Pine; Mr. and Mrs. A.
