A movement to redesignate the
O'Neill streets appears to have
been shortlived.
On Tuesday, March 5, two
officials of the Chamber of Com
merce asked the city council to
rename the streets under a plan
that would change the main inter
section of Fourth and Douglas
streets to the corner of 20th
avenue and 20th street. The
proposal, filed by President Rob
ert LaRue and Dale Wilson,
chairman of a committee ap
pointed to study the matter,
provided that east-west streets
would become numerical aven- j
ues and north-south streets, |
presently numbered, would ac
quire new numerical designa
tions.
The council indicated it would
go along with the idea provided
the proposal met with the ap
proval of the Chamber member
ship.
At Monday’s Chamber meeting
a motion by James W. Rooney
to refer the matter back to the
council overwhelmingly carried.
Most observers predict the
matter now will die a natural
death.
Opposition Appears
“The Voice of The Frontier” j
(WJAG, 780 k.c.) Monday morn-!
ing broadcast street interviews
with 10 persons selected at ran-;
dom near the M & M cafe. Eight i
were against the proposal; two—
one from Inman and one from
O’Neill—said they were disin
terested.
One of the persons interview
ed was Postmaster Ira Moss, who
contended “the benefits would not
compensate for the confusion”
that would result.
Mayor D. C. Schaffer, speak- j
ing at the council meeting, j
“roughly estimated" such a
change would cost at least sev- j
eral thousand dollars. Several
speakers voiced strong objections
because of complications in mail
deliveries. Several agreed the
present system should be ex
panded and most were in favor
of complete house numbering.
City mail routes at present cov
er only a portion of the city.
Mrs. H. D. Gildersleeve spoke
in behalf of the Women’s club
and told of a forthcoming library
benefit style show.

To Study Chest Idea
J. B. Grady asked that a com
mittee be appointed to organize
a community chest drive, which,
henceforth, would include all
fund-raising. Joe Stutz and Ar
thur J. Noeeker were named to
a committee to investigate.
Thirty persons attended the
meeting at Slat’s Supper club.

aided in making extensive im- J
provements on the municipal'

S. commissioner for the O’Neill I

Story of John Kee, Wife—
Pawnee, Holt Farms Swapped
One hundred and fifteen per
sons Sunday, March 10, signed the
guestbook at the golden wedding
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John
E. Kee of O’Neill.
A reception in their honor was
held in the parlors of First Meth
odist church between 2 and 4
p. m., arranged by members of
the family.
Mr. Kee, 76, was born March
20, 1880, in a log cabin near
.Jacksonville, 111., a son of John
and Malinda Johnson Kee. He
was the sixth child in the family,
which incduled six girls and three
bo^s.
Loading all of their belongings
into two horsedrawn covered
wagons, the elder Mr. Kee headed
across Iowa for Richardson coun
ty. Nebraska. Young John then
was six-years-old, ,
The family set out on the over
land trip June 1, 1886.
Trip Marred
Several incidents marred the
trip. One mare decided to have a
noli • ihni eanuirnrl q cton TVm
mare eventually kicked and killed
the colt. Another mare (there
were two teams in the caravan)
was frightened by a binder and
cut her forearm in a wire fence.
The horse trouble delayed the
family reaching Richardson coun
ty until August 1. The Kees final
ly settled on a Pawnee county
farm (across Richardson line),
about three miles west of Hum
boldt.
John and his brothers and sis- |
ters attended a nearby rural
school. He farmed with his father
and for himself (four years) in
Richardson county.
Mrs. Kee’s maiden name was
Della Elizabeth Harshbarger. She
was born April 25, 1885 near
Stella, a daughter of Henry and
Alice Legg Harshbarger. She was
one of a family of nine children.
Married in Farm Home
Mr. Kee and Miss Harshbarger
were married March 10, 1907, at
the farm home of her parents, lo
cated five miles west of Stella.
They began housekeeping on a
farm three miles northwest of
Humboldt, where they resided one |
year, later moving to the Pawnee
City community, where they lived
on a farm eight years.
Three children—Wilma, Elva
and Mervin—were born there.
In February, 1916, the Kees
moved to Holt county, nine miles i
northwest of O’Neill. Mr. Kee
managed to trade an 80-acre tract
in Pawnee county for a 240-acre j
farm in Holt. The trade was made
with Henry Borcher.
“The Pawnee Tand was valued j
at $125 per acre; the Holt land j
at $60. I had to go into debt for
the balance and had a hard time
a-makin’ it,” recalls Mr. Kee.
The couple added quite a few
improvements to the place.
Four more children were born

Holt Population
Up 436 Persons
Twenty-eight Nebraska coun
ties showed a decrease in popu
lation last year, compared with
1954, according to estimates by
the University of Nebraska’s de
partment of business research.
But Holt county reveals an in
crease of an estimated 436.
Indicating the continued
rural to urban population shift,
estimates comparing 1956 with
1950 show that all Nebraska’s 23
principal cities bad population
gains, most of them substantia).
Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer, depart
ment chairman, said the estima
tes are based on the state pop
ulation as released by the U. S.
Census Bureau last July 1, or
1,444,000, compared with 1,359,
000 in 1954.
O’Neill’s steady population
growth offsets a depopulation of
the rural areas and shrinkage in
some of the towns.
Estimated population of coun
ties follows:
