E. J. Revell’s Story Starts in Orphanage (Continued from page 1) stocking and terms the grass left at the end of the grazing season as “money in the bank.” Mr. Revell was on the origi nal board of supervisors for the Holt district, is a member of the Holt County Aberdeen Angus association, and has taken an active part in many community affairs. His early life was spectacular. An orphan at an early age, he was separated from his oldest brother. The three younger b: others—of whom he was the second ranking — remained at the orphanage in Omaha until it burned. Then they were trans ferred to a county home and soon taken for adoption. He says the sole purpose of the family who adopted them was to make tlem work. He remembers that upon their arrival at the new home the “old man” said of his youngest broth er: “Mrs. -, what did you bring that little - - home for? He caA’t do no work!” As a result, the brothers were split up again, the youngest b’ other was . “given away” to an old maid school teacher. How ever, recalling the incident, Mr. Revell says that he was the only one who ever got a “decent edu cation.” (Later, Mr. Revell was reunited with all of his broth ers.) As soon as he and his older brother were able, they ran sway from their foster home. On the first attempt they were un successful. He says they were driven home by their foster fa ther on horseback, using a buggy whip, driving them like cattle. Before long, he says, they were sble to slip away and for their first job they received a salary of $50 a year plus board and clothes. He then went to Iowa for a short time and worked for $20 a month. In his early teens, he ;nd his brother came to the O’ Neill area and lived with the W. J. Gray family south of town. He declares this was the first real home he had ever known, and he has many fond memories of the times he had with “Uncle Will” and “Aunt Maggie,” as they were known. During that time he attended Fremont normal for 10 weeks, the only formal education he ever had. He spent about five years in a sheep camp in Wyoming and then returned to O’Neill. In 1907, he married Miss Pearl Coffman and started farming northwest of O’Neill. In 1915, they moved to one quarter section (now the M. E. Davis residence). He says there is still lots of conservation that he would like to do and will do as time goes on. The SCD supervisors are pleased that in winning the Goodyear award it has been made possible for Mr. Revell to have an all-expense trip to the Goodyear farms at Litchfield Park, Ariz. He will be accom panied by Elmer Juracek.
