IiKIEK HISTORY i'" THE COUNTY OF
ylCERSOF CASSVoil.STY, XE
URASKA, 1WL ,
'AMI H. TODij. '.Me pv.-.-nt chair
maii of the board 'of commission
ers, was ij. it'll i.i C!i:mtauiua coun
ty, New York. n the nii.ih day ol
April. A. I). 142.
He eniiif r;it d to (lie western
states in the year 1M7. :ind landed
in Cass county, Nebraska, in the
year 1"7.
The state then bein in its infan
cy, he followed the pursuit of
farming and stock raising for many
years. At the November election
in l2 he was eli-cii-U to the oltiee
of county coiuiuissioner to repre
sent the First Commissioners
District.
He performed the duties of his
office to such satisfaction that his
friends re-elected him a second
term in the fall of 1K. and during
his second term he was instrument
al in hi'iiiiii'' about a plan by
which all county warrants wete
made payable in cash. This was
done by usinjr t he sinking fund ii:
hands of county treasurer, which
had accumulated.
All outstanding warrants were
called in, and thus the count)' has
been paying cash for all bills, and
thereby saving interest on war
rants, and securing the benefit of
jjfettin all work done at lowest pos,
sible rates.
His ability to represent the coun
ty's best interests as county com
missioner was appreciated to such
an extent that, without his desire,
he was tendered the office for a
third term at the November elec
tion in 1SNS, which was the- first, case
of the kind in the history of Cass
county.
The year 18U1 will complete Mr.
Todd's ninth year as commissioner,
each of which has been full of inte
rest, the business" of which has
called for ability ami carefulness,
which he has shown himself to
possess during his several years of
office.
JACOH TKITSCH. the commis
sion from the Second District, was
born in Germany, on the 17th day
of June A. D. 1n4'.. and when 8 years
old. or in the years 1S.X he together
with his parents emigrated to
American and settled on a farm in
Illinois. In 1 ', he moved to Cass
county. Neb., and settled on a farm
4 miles west of I'lattsniouth Jand
has followed the occupation, of
fanning since that time.
Mr. Tritsch' succeeded Mr. Louis
Foltz, who had served the county
two terms, both of which were full
of interest, and which cast the best
of reflection on the manner in
which Mr. Foltz performed the
duties of his office as a representa
tive from the Second District.
Mr. Tritsch has taken up the
work already bejjun by his prede
cessor, and his ability to perform
the duties of his to the best inter
est of the county is making itself
manifest early in the term for
which he was elected.
AARON C. LODlvR. Ihe commis
sioner from the Third district, was
born in Coshocton county, Ohio,
on the second day of January-. A. f).
1S37. and emigrated to Cass county,
Nebraska, in the year l!S(:-, and set
tled near Greenwood on a farm,
where he has resided ever since.
At the neneral election held in
November, 1SS(), he was elected to
the office of commissioner, and has
proven to be a careful inspector of
the county's interests in the per
formance of his duties.
Mr. Loder has made the duties of
the office of commissioner his study
since his election, and is guided
only by the law in his actions as a
public officer and an excbllent
judgment.
HIRD CRITCHFIKLD. the county
clerk and clerk of board of commis
sioners, was born in Holmes county,
Ohio, on Feb. G, A. D. 1S."5C, and came
to Cass county, Nebraska, in the
year 1SS0; was a farmer and school
teacher. Was elected to the office
in the fall of 1S87, and re-elected for
a second term at the November
election of 1889.
