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.
