George C. Robertson, O’Neill; Hel
en E. Sundell, Wakefield; Harriett
J. McElhaney, Omaha; John A.

R. Robertson, O'Neill; Ray R. Rob
ertson, Dakota City; Rachel A.
Robertson, O’Neill; Rebecca M.
Ernst, Spencer; James A. Robert
son, Sioux City, Iowa; Dick W.
Robertson, O’Neill.
On March 24, 1938, Mr. Robert
son wrote the following sketch of
his life and mailed a copy to each
of his children and a few close per
sonal friends. There is much of
interest in the article and we here
with reproduce it in full.
John A. Robertson was born in a
log house on a farm in the White
River Valley between Seymour and
Brownstown, Jackson county, Indi
ana, on January 22, 1867.
My father died when I was about
three years old and before my I
youngest sister was born. The!
family left was my mother, my two j
sisters and myself. I was the old
est of the three children. My old
est sister was Mrs. O. E. Ott and
she died and was buried at Dick-1
son, Tenn., on August 22, 1933.
My youngest sister was Mrs.
H. J. Worth and she died January
9, 1936, and was buried in the
Pleasant Valley cemetery near
Meek, Nebr.
We were not wealthy; my father
left us a small farm of 28 acres,
10 acres of it timber, and neither
were we “poor white trash” but
my mother had to save every
penny and we lived very frugally
and as soon as we children got old
enough we got jobs helping the
neighbors for whatever they would
pay us and I worked one summer
for $7.00 a month when I was 121
years old. It was figured that
i could do one half of a man’s work
and was worth one half of a man’s
wages, which at that time was
from $10.00 to $14.00 per month
and a month there was 26 dry days
and some times it took six weeks
to get a month in. I felt pretty
big because I could help my mother.
My sisters got from 50 cents to $1
per week but wre all helped all we
could and got along the best way
we could. We were taught that
lo take anything we did not earn
would be a disgrace and w<- never
heard of any such thing as relief.
We attended the public rural
school of that dale and our Indiana
schools rated very good but we
knew nothing of grades in school
but had our first to sixth reader I
and reading, writing and arith-,
mi -lie. the three RRRs and a scholar
might go just as far as he could
and not be hampered by grades or
heurs of study. The rent from our
little farm of 28 acres with the
few dollars and cents we could
earn did not make a very big in
come and our living was not very
fancy at any time but we was
happy in trying to do our best.
At that time there was the great
west Kansas, Nebraska, the Da
kotas and on toward the setting sun
and my mother always said we
should go west if we could and get
some free land but that seemed
impossible bo us children but it was
sointhing to hope for anyway.
On January 11, 1883, my mother
manned Samuel Beavers a friend
of her younger days but then living
at Malvern, Iowa, and we came to
Malvern to live but my mother
still clung to thg idea that we ought
to go west and get some free land.
Mr. Beavers was a carpenter and
not much interested in land but
she got him to go to Nebraska and
he took a homestead now part of
the place where Bill Fronek now
lives, about fifteen miles northeast
-of O’Neill. The land office was at
Niobrara and he had six months
to get on the land or forfeit his
filing. He traded his town proper,
ty in Malvern for an old team of
horses and a wagon and sold all
„f his household goods that we
could not take along with us and in
a covered wagon we struck out for
the west.
We crossed the Missouri river at
Omaha on the ferry as there was
no bridge there then nnd drove up
Farnam street and on up the Elk
norn river and the railroad and as
far as we could see both before us
and behind us as it was a stream of
covered wagons all going west to
get free homes, some with good
teams and wagons, some with oxen
and some with one horse an 1 one
cow but all with the same object in
view', Free Land.
Creighton was the end of the
railroad at that time and we drove
across from there to Niobrara
where we rented a farm and I did
the farming and Mr. Beaver work
ed at his trade of carpenter as there
was plenty of building going on
and plenty of work for everybody.
In the fall of 1883 Mr. Beaver took
lumber from Niobrara and built a
shanty on the homestead and the
rest of the family moved up while
I got a job and stayed at Niobrara.
The next year I held my job and
Mr. Beaver broke a few acres on
the homestead as required by law
and worked at his trade while my
sisters worked out and all helped
keep things going on the home
stead.
In 1885 I was married to Rachel
R. Hindman at Niobrara and in the
spring of 1886 took a preemption
ojn 80 acres that lays just north of
our present home. A pre-emption
was different from a homestead be
cause we had to pay the government
SI.25 per acre lor the land while
for a homestead we had only to pay
the land office fees and live on the
land five years. In 1887 we sold
the 80 and bought the home place
and that has been our home ever
since.
We raised and educated a family
of twelve, six girls and six boys,
all living and all honorable and
upright citizens and T am proud of
every one of them. On Christmas
day, December 25, 1935. we celar
bra ted our Golden weddi ng and all
the children was present as well as
18 grandchildren. On .June 15,
1836, my wife died and is buried
it the cemetery on the home place.
I have always taken an active
interest in public affairs and in
1895 and 1897 was elected to the
legislature from Holt county.( In
1913, 1915 and 1917 and again in
1925 I was elected to the state
senate from this district. In 1913
I introduced and secured the pass
age of the first mothers pension
law ever passed in this state and
wh;le some changes have sinci
been made the law is practically
the same as at first.
On July 21, 1917, on the recom
mendation of Governor Keith Ne
ville I was appointed a member
of the District Board for Division
number one of Nebraska by Presi
dent Wilson and served during the
entire period of the World’s vva*'.
This Board of five members passed
on classification of men for service
in the army and wo classified about
75000 men during our time of
service. Our office was in Omaha
in the court house and our territory
was all of Nebraska north of the
Platte river. This was an exper
ience that was heartbreaking at
times and I hope this country will
have no more wars for many gen
e'vitions to come. On March 31,
1919, our Board was relieved from
fu'ther duty and 1 have my dis
charge signed by E. H. Crowder,
Provost Marshal General and S. It.
McKelvie, governor of Nebraska.
I a iso have a letter of appreci
ation from General Crowder, all
those papers beginning to turn
vi 1 low with age. almost twenty
jeats. Three of the five original
members of our Board have died
since the close of the World’s war.
I l ave some very interesting let
ter ami nnpers covering the time of
my service on th's Board.
Many interesting events happen
ed on this 71 mile journey down
life’s pathway but this is much too
long now for me to describe any
of them. I doubt if there ever
was a period of time of the same
length in the world's history that
would compare with the time cov
ered in this sketch.
Word was received here last Sun
day of the death of MichaelMc
Nally, of Chicago, 111. Mr. McNally

O’Malley of this city, who is the

CREIGHTON PREP
OF OMAHA WINS
FROM ST. MARY'S
The Game Was Much
Better Than One-sided
Score Indicates
Creighton Prep’s state champion
basketball team had little trouble
subduing a gallant but outclassed
St. Mary's team on the latter's
home floor, last Sunday afternoon.
The final score was 59 to 18.
St. Mary's took an early lead
6 bo 2, but were unable to keep
scoring and trailed 12 to 6 at the
first quarter. This lead was in
creased still further by hulftime,
when the Junior Jays left the floor
on the long end of a 28 to 13 score.
Up until this time the battle had
been hard and well fought and the
Cardinals were still in the ball
game.
During the third quarter how
ever, the Creighton superiority be
came more evident and at the end
of the period the Prep team was
leading 45 to 14. In the last
quarter, the Cardinals still could
not halt the scoring and whan the
final whistle blew, they were be
hind 18 bo 59.
Matejka, of Prep, was the high
scorer with 18 points. St. Mary’s
scoring honors went to Jr. Shoe
maker with five points.

coming from people in all parts of
the state and from all parties, evi
dently caused the canvassing board
to reverse their action.
