Mr. Wiseman, after spending j the winter in government service, returned to the desolated home | where those children had romped ! ;,nd played. The oldest boy was in I the Civil war. The head of the house packed I the family later and went back to I Virginia. The neighboring Ames family, which had come from Vermont in 1854. returned to Iowa. Four years later, however, the Ames group returned to Nebraska — Madison county. Christopher Carson Ames, who was born De cember 16, 1858, died in 1940.. He was the father of Mrs. Harvey. When he died he was regarded as the oldest native Nebraskan (white). Mr. Ames built the first house at Meadow Grove and farmed what is now the main street of the town. Later, he bought a piece of land north of town and erected a log cabin on the banks of the Elkhorn river. The land mark “fell apart” 20 years ago.

I m m ~ MIA>UW OF HIIVICI...MARK O F INTIQWITV by Ames Mobre and her father, Christopher Carson Ames. When Mrs. Harvey grew up, times were difficult. Preparations for winter included butchering a hog, salting it down, having a barrel of sorghum molasses made from cane of their own raising. She remembers taking the cane to the mill where it was ground and boiled in the large flat pans to the consistency of sorghum Children would scrape the barrel with relish in the spring when it was emptied to get the sugar that | clung to the sides. A lump of sugar was a treat. Grain was taken to the mill and ; exchanged for rye and graham flour They raised a garden and root vegetables were buried to ] prevent freezing. The Ames decided to try their lutk in Holt county in the Mincola community where they were neighbors to the Young, Mills and Eppenbaugh families. They lived on the Arch Henry place and later on the place known as the Red Barn. The Red Barn later figured in the tragedy of a Holt county treasurer, Barrett Scott. It was while living there the children lost a year of school. They were six miles from a schoolhouse and | it was impossible to get the chil ! dren there. Mr. Ames was a farmer, well 1 driller, carpenter and Jack-of-all trades. To him Mrs. Harvey gives credit for a good deal of their early education. Having spent very little time in the school room himself, he took pains to teach his children all the book larnin' he could. He also was a musician and saw to it that they all played some instrument. His choice was a violin. The literary meeting at the school every two weeks was the entertainment of most communi ties. Pearl remembers hearing her father saying to the program committee: “Just give ’em what you want ’em to do and I’ll see that they have it.” That was no •iiatiittttttttitttiitttstamitamtstmtitt idle threat. The family gathered around the table in the evenings,; all nine of the children, also the ! iather and mother, and he worked i with them in turn until they had , their part letter perfect. Mrs. Harvey was born at But ler, Bates county, Missouri, in 1892, and lived in Madison coun ty until 1900 when they came to Holt coun'y and finally settled down, after several moves, in the Lmporia neighborhood. December 11, 1912, she married Robert Harvey. They are the par ents of two children: Calvin, who lives near the parental home, and a daughter.
