Sawmills State’s
Chief Industry in ’60
When J. Sterling Morton came
i to Nebraska as a young man still
in his 20’s, his father warned him:
“Now the sawmill business is a
humbug, let is alone. If there are
any fools in Nebraska let them
i build the saw mills and you sell
| them the timber if they want it
I and will pay cash for it ... If I
had $10,000 not a dollar should
go into a sawmill in Michigan or
Nebraska."
The young man, who was to be
come one of Nebraska’s best
known citizens, followed his fath
er’s advice, but there were enough
people willing to gamble on saw
mills to make lumber manufac
ture the territory’s leading indus
try. The new settlements created
| a trempndous demand for lumber,
and while Nebraska was for the
| most part treeless, the river val
leys of the southeastern section
provided a 'considerable quantity
of raw material. The streams
provided the necessary power.
The US census of 1860 reported
46 sawmills in Nebraska territory,
representing a total investment of
$127,800 and giving employment
to 155 men. The annual value of
lumber turned out by these mills
was $335,340, (more than half of
the total value of all territorial
manufactures.
In terms of the number of es
lablishmenls, Nemaha was the
leading counly, with seven saw
mills. Next came Richardson
with 5. Douglas, Oloe, Sarpy ;
and Washington followed with
4 each. Tre remaining counties
had from 1 to 3 sawmills each.
It is interesting to note that ev
ery county included in the census
except Dakota had at least one
sawmill. In Cuming, Dodge, John
ston and Platte counties sawmills
were the only industries reported.
By 1870, the number of saw
mills in Nebraska hud increased
only to 50. The capital invested,
however, represented $152,000, al
though the value of the product
had fallen to $278,205. A total of
202 men were employed. The cen
sus of 1870 reported the type of
power supplied each sawmill, and
30 of Nebraska’s were powered by
steam engines, the remainder us
ing water-wheels.
Many of the early sawmills
sawed lumber “on the shares."
The patron would cut his own
logs and haul them to the mill.
After they were sawed the mill
owner and the patron would di
vide the lumber and the slabs [
eually, the former retaining
half of the total product as pay
ment for the milling operations.
The sawmills, like the grist mill,
became a neighborhood gathering
place. Frequently patrons had to
wait some tiime to get their logs
sawed, and while waiting they ex
changed gossip, news and in
formation. %
Ferguson 3d Man
to Congress—
Fenner Ferguson, tTie 3d man to
represent Nebraska territory as a
delegate to congress, was really
the first who was identified in a
permanent way with the territory.
His judicial career is much more
important than the one term he
served as delegate.
Born in New York in 1814, Fer
guson came to Nebraska as the
first chief justice of the territorial
supreme court. Prior to his ap
pointment by President Franklin
Pierce, he lived in Albion, Mich.,
where he had moved from New
York in 1846. There he had
served as district attorney and as
a member of the state legislature.
The Fergusons arrived a t
Bellevue, October 11, 1854. One of
Ferguson’s first acts as chief jus
tice was to administer the oath
of office to Gov. Francis Burt:
who had arrived a few days be
fore and who lay ill in Rev. Wil
liam Hamilton’s mission house.
Two days later Governor Burt
died, and the new chief justice’s
first public address consisted of
remarks at the governor’s funeral.
Judge Ferguson also was
present at t h • ceremonies
marking the birth of printing in
Nebraska, and it was he who
pulled the first proof sheet of
the Bellevue Palladium.
As chief justice, he organized
the frist district and supreme
courts of Nebraska and assisted
the first territorial legislature in
drafting the first code of laws en
acted for the government of the
territory.
The Fergusons, by virtue of the
Judge’s position and their many
fine qualities, soon assumed a
post of leadership in territorial so
ciety. The Judge, in common with
virtually all ambitious men in the
territory, was active in politics.
In 1857 he ran for the post of
delegate to Congress, the highest
position within the gift of the
territorial electorate and one
that always was much sought aft
er. He defeated the incumbent,
Bird B. Chapman, and almost in
the tradition of delegate elections,
found his seat contested by Mr.
Chapman. The house of repre
sentatives seated Ferguson, how
ever, and he served one term as
delegate from Nebraska.
While representing Nebraska in
congress, Ferguson introduced
bills providing for a surveyor gen
eral for the territory, and for a
territorial penitentiary. He also
introduced a bill to provide a
bridge across the Platte River.
At the end of his term as dele
gate, Judge Ferguson returned to
Bellevue to practice law. His
career as a lawyer was short
lived, however. Shortly after re
turning to Nebraska he contracted
an illness from which he never
recovered and which resulted in
his death October 11, 1859. He
I was buried in the Bellevue ceme
i tery.
