Antidote for Housing Gloom: Consult Sodhouse Picture Files Most characteristic of the or iginal dwellings occupied by ihe first settlers in much of old Ne braska was the sodhouse. The superintendent of the State Historical society, James C. Olson, has s id that so typi cal was this type of dwelling in the early days that the upper great plains—Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas—have come to be knowm as “the sodhouse frontier.” The sodhouse was iust anoth er of man’s answers to the prob lem of subduing the western plains. West of the 98th mer idian there were virtually no trees. There was no way to haul lumber. Shelter had to be provided, and the rrtost suit able material was the tough, prairie sod. Many Types There were many types of sedhouses. The simplest was the dugout, which was simply a room cut into the side of a hill or ravine and walled up in front with sod. Quite fre quently the dugout was com bined with a regular sodhouse, thus taking advantage of the economy in construction offered by the terrain and the greater convenience and comfort of a house built above ground. Nat urally, those able to do so con structed their soddies entirely above ground. A common plan consisted of a one-room build ing, 16 feet wide and 20 feet long. Occasionally a pretentious two-story structure was erect ed, as Izidere Haumont did at Broken Bow in the mid-’80s. Where possible, lumber was used for the frame, particularly for the roof. Sheeting was nailed on the rafters and tar paper spread over the sheeting, which again was covered with sod. If lumber was not avail able—and in many cases it was not — the settler had to make out as best he could, using crooked limbs, brush, coarse prairie hay, and a thick cover ing of sod and dirt for the roof. To hold up the roof forked trees were planted in each side of the roof with a ridgepole run ning the length of the house. Frequently flowers were plant ed on the roof. Floors Usually Dirt Interiors were furnished as best the settler could. If pos sible, board floors were laid. If not, the dirt was simply stamped down. Often the walls were calcimined or whitewashed. Pegs were driv en into the walls for hooks, and such furniture as had been brought from the east was used to give the place the appear ance of home. The sodhouse had numerous advantages. It was relatively easy to construct, It was cheap, and durable. It was fairly waim in winter and cool in summer. At best, though, it represent ed a hard life, particularly for women. The State Historical society has over 1,000 pictures of sodhouses, most of them from Custer cunty. “Probably the best antidote in the world for gloominess about present day housing con ditions is to leaf through this file of pictures,” Mr. Olson said. the treatment. George D. Riggs, 71, one of the O’Neill pioneers, died in Des Moines, la., last Thursday night. He came here from Eddyville, la., when a young man, in 1883, and entered The Frontier, where he learned the printing trade. He wgs married to Miss Nellie Beck, a sister of the late Mrs. T. V. Golden.
