    BRIEF LIFE SKETCH OF
A PIONEER NEBRASKA!!
Historical Review of the Lite of the Late
Levi 6. Todd Was Prominent la
Earl) State Politics Once I
Candidate for Goternor
(Written by llasll Kamsey)
Levi Goodsell Todd was born lo
Stockton, Chautauqua county, New
York, on March 22, 1829, and was one
of a family of sixteen children,' ten
sons and six daughters, all of whom
have now answered the last summons.
Ills father was Bel a Todd and mother,
Lucy, whose maiden name was Hem
ningway. Mr. Todd left the home of
bis birth In boyhood, when twenty-one
years old or about 18.0. Like many
other ambitious young men of the
eastern states, he turned his steps
westward and for a time resided In
Mills county, Iowa, where he taught
school during the winter of 1853-4.
During this winter our subject fre
quently visited the Nebraska side of
the Missouri river, stopping with one,
Samuel Martin, then residing near
Plattsmouth, and who was one of the
noted Indian traders of that time. Mr.
Todd became the owner of about 200
acres of land south of Plattsmouth
the old fair grounds. This valuable
tract of land he sold to James It. Por
ter about the year 1857, and then re
moved to the farm at Buck's Grove,
where he resided the greater part of
his life, or until Dec. 13, 1904, when,
owing to the infirmities of age he gave
up farm life and removed to Union,
where he has since resided.
The Todd farm, near Buck's Grove,
which our subject brought to a high
state of cultivation and where he and
his most estimable family lived for
nearly half a century, is one of the
many tine grain and stock farms in
Cass county. It was here Mr. Torkl
took a genuine pride In the finest pro
ducts of grain and the rearing of fin
est horses, cattle and hogs. And dur
ing the freighting period in the sixties,
before railroads were constructed in
Nebraska, many a wagon load of pro
duce from this farm was hauled over
land to Denver and other western mar
kets.' MAUKIAOE AND FAMILY.
At West Point, Iowa February 20,
1855, Mr. Todd was united in marriage
to Miss Ljflla Jones, of Monroe, Ohio,
.jvtrj has ever proved a most helpful as
sistant to her husband in building up
fortune and fame. To this union the
following named children were born:
Albina P. Thomas, born at Platts
mouth, Neb., Feb. 20, 1850; died at
Plattsmouth, Neb., April 18, 1898.
Elizabeth Todd Eigenbroadt, born
March 28, 1858; died Feb. 20, 1880.
Lewis C. Todd, born May 20, 1800; re
sides near Nehawka, Cass county, Neb.
Albert L. Todd, born Feb. 23, 1882;
died March 0, 1804. An Infant son,
died in Infancy. Horace G. Todd, born
Feb. 9, 1804; resides at Murray, Cass
county, Neb. Miss Jessie B. Todd, the
only living daughter and now living
with her mother at Union, Neb. John
B. Todd and Levi Goodsell Todd, both
residing at Union, Cass county, Neb.
There are twenty-twogrand-children
and live great grand-children, and it is
a singular coincidence that Mr. Todd's
grand-child, George W. Thomas, and
great grand-child, Carl Thomas, each
has the same birthday as that of their
distinguished ancestor, the first March
22, '75, the latter March 22, '01, and In
this connection It Is a matter of his
toric interest to note that the hrst
white girl baby born In Cass county
was Albina P. Todd, who married
Thomas J. Thomas, and was the moth
er of George W. Thomas, and grand
mother of Carl Thomas above referred
to.
M r.todd's educational advant auks
Id boyhood and early manhood Mr.
Todd had few educational advantages.
He attended the common schools of
his native county and acquired a fair
business education. However, he was
a student all his life, and few persons
were better posted on the current Is
sues of the day, whether in politics,
religion, finance, or the sciences. In
fact he had few superiors when It
came to argument, upon any subject
which he had investigated.
CI.KUK K ELECTION IN 1854.
Under a proclamation of Acting Ter
ritorial Governor Thomas B. dimming
a general election was held on Decem
ber 12, 1854, for the election of mem
bers of the Territorial Council and
House from Cass county. This pro
clamation described Cass county as,
"The county lying between the Platte
river on the north and the Weeping
Water on the south, and from the Mis
souri river on the east to the ceded
lands on the west."
It was divided Into two precincts
Martin's, toraprlslng the north part of
the county, and Kenosha the southern
V Died At Union, Cass county,
J Nebraska.ua February 1Kb, at 1
I 2:30 o'clock, p. m., Levi Goodsell j

part. Fur judged and clerks of that
election, Governor Cummin made the
appointments, and our deceased friend
was appointed one of the clerks for
Martin's precinct.
ELECTED J l STICK OK THE PE ACE.
At this election Mr. Todd and Allen
Watson were elected justices of the
peace for Plattsmouth precinct, then
comprising what had been Martin's
precinct, Kenosha precinct having
been changed to Rock Bluffs precinct.
'Stl'IKK TODD'S FIKST LAW Sl IT.
On April 18, 1855, 'Squire Todd tried
his first law suit a case of forcible en
try and detainer. James O'Neill, one
of the early pioneers of Plattsmouth,
was plaintiff, and one James Raines
was defendant. The trial resulted In
judgment in favor of O'Neill, and
Raines Is said to have appealed to the
district court. For some reason the
docket of the district court was lost,
and likewise the record of this case.
This is believed to be the first case
ever tiled In the district court for Cass
county.-. In the capacity of justice of
the peace it has been said that 'Squire
Todd gave universal satisfaction, but
no Inducement could persuade him to
hold the office beyond the one term.
COl'NTY COMMISSIONKll IN 1800.
In the year IStiO Mr. Todd was elect
ed county commissioner for Cass coun
ty. He served with signal ability in
this capacity for one term but could
not be Induced to serve longer. The
office of county commissioner then as
now necessarily absorbed much of the
official's time, and Mr. Todd found
more congeniality in cultivating and
improving his now famous farm near
Buck's Grove than In hearing peti
tions for roads and attending to the
routine of the office of county commis
sioner. MEMIIKIl OF THE LKOISLATU UK IN 1802.
In 1802 our subject was elected a
member of the house of representa
tives for the Territory of Nebraska.
This was during "war times" and the
people generally were more absorbed
In the great conflict between the north
and south, than In legislation, hence
little legislation was done during this
session.
STAUNCH KKlTltUl AN IN I'KIXEEK
DA VS.
From the time of his settlement in
Cass county, Mr. Todd took sin active
and leadim: part in the development
of the country. Mis large, beautiful
LEVI C. TODD
and well Improved farm, noithwestof
Union, where lie lived for so many
years, Is a living monument, commem
orative of 1 1 is energy, Industry and
great success as a fanner. He took an
active part in politics throughout his
entire life, and there were few who
could compete with him in forensic
discussion. In the early days he was
a stanch Rupportcr of republican prin
ciples and ther were few campaigns
in which he did not take an active
part, lie was well known, not only
in Cass and adjoining counties, but
throughout the state as well.
But In 1870, there arose disaffection
in the republican ranks and particu
larly In Cass county; many of the lead
ing republicans bolted their regular
nominees and joined hands with the
democrats In an independent move
men,. Mr. Todd was an earnest and
loyal supporter of this Independent
movement, and was rewarded by the
election of the Independent legislative
ticket In Cass county with one exeep
tlon.
This bolt in republican ranks was
directed against the re-elcctton of
Governor Pavld Butler for a third
term, and also against the re-election
of General John M. Thayer, United
States senator. The former was re
elected but the latter was defeated.
OIM'OSKS STATE 0I!0 AN l.ATION IN 1800.
Old settlers will recall the great con
test for state organization In 1S00. It
was a contest to organize Nebraska
Territory Into the State of Ncbrask
Levi G. Todd was one of the strongest
opponents of the proposed change. In
that celebrated contest he was com
pelled to oppose his ow n party and e.S'
pcclally the republican nominee for
governor David Butler. As the writer
remembers, this was the only time
Levi G. Todd and the late J. Sterling
Morton met on common political
grounds. Both were opposed to state
organization, although Morton was the
democratic candidate for governor,
The result of election was In favor of
state organization and of Butler for
governor.
BOLTS HKITIILICAN TICKET IN 1870
Four years after the contest for
state government. Mr. Todd, with
many other good and loyal republi
cans, bolted the republican nominees
for different offices, among them being
that of Governor Butler for re-election
for a third term and the re-election of
General John M.Thayer for United
States Senator. An independent leg
islative ticket for Cass county, com
posed of republicans and democrats
was elected with one exception. The
result of that election was the defeat
of Senator Thayer, hut Governor But
ler was re-elected for a third term by
a greatly reduced mojorlty.
It was in that election that party
lines were completely broken In Cass
county, and a number of old-time re
publicans gradually drifted away from
party affiliations and among them, our
deceased friend. Not long afterward
the old greenback party was organized
and became a potent political factor
In the United States and more partic
ularly In the west and south, although
there were many strong advocates of
the principles of this party through
out the east.
OKEEMIACK CANDIDATE FOR UOV-
KIlNOIl IM 1878.
About this time the Greenback
party began Its formation. Our de
ceased friend was one of the first con
verts to the doctrine advocated by
this party and became one of Its
strongest advocates. The party con
tinued to grow in numerical strength
all over the nation, more particularly
In the west.
In 1878 Mr. Todd was the candidate
of this party for governor of Nebraska
and polled 9,475 votes. Although de
feated, yet he never surrendered his
views and convictions upon the doc
trine as advocated by, George II. Pen
dleton, James B. Weaver and many
other Intellectual giants and states
men of national fame.
When In 1890, William J. Bryan
became a candidate for congress from
the First district of Nebraska. Mr.
Todd became a great admirer of the
young statesman and became a con
vert to Bryan's theories upon tariff
and silver coinage. And In lS'.M and
1900 Mr. Bryan had no more earnest
and enthusiastic supporter than Levi
G. Todd.
LAST SAD KITES.
On Monday, February 20, 1900, at 12
o'clock in., at the family home in l'n
Ion, Cass county, Nebraska, funeral
services were held, where many gath
ered to pay the last tribute of respect
to one of the honored pioneers of Cass
county. l!cv. Newton Mann of Omaha
conducted the services, and dwelt in
beautifully chosen words on the long,
upright life of the deceased. The choir
consisted of Mr. and Mrs. George L.
Farley, the Misses Florence White and
Estella Balrd, and Messrs. B. A. Mc
Elwaln and Ralph W. White, all of
Plattsmouth, and whomost touchlngly
rendered the fellowing: "Lead Kindly
Light," "Abide With Me," "Nearer
My God to Thee."
The honorary pall bearers were:
Lewis Bird, Isaac Pollard, M. H. Shoe
maker, D. W. Foster, R. D. Clark and
J. W. Pitman.
The active pall bearers were: John
Bramblet, J. D. Cross, W. B. Banning,
F. A. Frimple, T. W. Swan and W. D.
James.
Interment was made in Buck's cem
etery, near Union, where many of the
old pioneer settlers of Cass county now
silently rest In that last, long, dream
less slumber.
I'.IUEK TltllllTK.
Levi G. Todd was a man of more
than ordinary intellectual equipment.
Handicapped by very limited educa
tional advantages In his youth, yet
with a mind at once strong and assid
uous In investigation, he soon grasped
Ideas, and was fitted by nature not
alone to communicate the same tooth
ers, but to carry conviction with his
logic. Somewhat positive In his con
victions, yet he always treated with
great courtesy and consideration those
who differed from him, whether the
differences were political, scientific or
religious.
He was most genial and social In his
nature, and his home one of hospital
ity. Although surrounded by wealth
and the many comforts of life which
many years of hardest toll of himself
and family had accumulated, yet Ms
hospitable home was always open and
a cordial welcome awaited all, espec
ially the old pioneers cf Cass county.
Like the autumnal leaves which so
silently fall, the old pioneers of Caw
county arc rapidly falling by the way
side. Our deceased friend had come
to Cass county when only a hoy. His
fortune and fame were to be carved
out of what, with personal effort and
Industry, the future might bring.
Here more than half a century ago the
boy of twctitv-one saw a wild, untamed
west. The Iudlans and various wild
animals were the principal settlers.
But w ith sturdy courage and energy
the New York boy went to work. He
not only founded a home; he accumu
lated waalth. Ho became a leading,
valued, Influential citizen. He became
prominent, useful and commanded uni
versal confidence In his Integrity. His
life work Is a legacy to children, grand
children and great grand-children.
And as with all who pass tlie final
boundary of earth-life, we must bow to
the Inevitable and patiently await the
next summons to return home.
AMONG JOURNAL FRIENDS
The Editor Takes i Couple of Days Off
for i Recreation Trip.
VISITS AT UNION AND NEHAWKA
Two of the Thrifty and Enterprising Towns
of Cass County.
On Friday last the Journal editor,
coming to the conclusion that a visit
among the people of Liberty and Ne
hawka precincts would do him much
good socially, physically and finan
cially, he boarded the southbound
train on the M. P. at 9:45, for Union.
The Journal has a host of friends In
and around Union, and we always feel
at home among them, and spent much
of the time In that village.
We visited a number of the princi
pal business houses, among them were
Koy Fpton, the hardware man, and
R. H. Frans & Co., the merchant
prince of the town. Roy was up to
his eyes in business, and Mr. Frans
and ids clerks were as busy as bees
dispensing dry goods, groceries, etc.
Mr. trans carries the largest stock of
general merchandise of any firm in
the town, and his goods are as finely
displayed as are the goods of those
who carry on business In towns of
from .1,000 to 0,000 Inhabitants. Mr.
Frans had just returned from Ottum
wa, Iowa, where he and Mrs. Frans
had been called on account of the sick
ness and death of F. W. Young, an
uncle of Mrs. Frans. The wife of the
deceased returned with them and will
make her homo with Mr. and Mrs.
Frans for a short time. Mrs. Young
Is 70 years of age, and is an only sister
of R. II. Fitch.
We called upon numerous other
business men, among whom were W.
F. Tracy, the genial bank cashier, W.
B. Banning, ex-county commissioner,
and the lumber king of Union; Joe
Banning, W. A. Taylor, F. W. Young
and J. II. Frans, all of whom renewed
their allegiance to the old Reliable
fur another year. And not only do wc
feel grateful to these gentlemen for
their favors hut we also desire to
tlio.uk the following gentlemen who
became new patrons at the. I'nion
postoillee: B. F. Iloback. R. D.Stlne,
M. Lynde, Will Frans, Ell Eaton, Ed
McCleve and Reuben Foster. The
latter gentleman is an old resident of
Union and vicinity, and formerly re
sided in London, Ohio, where the old
man if the Journal first saw the light
of (fay sixty-three years ago.
Union is one of the most important
points in Cass county, and Is situated
In the center of some of the finest
farming lands in Eastern Nebraska.
It is well built up, the citizens oner
get icand enterprising, and we seriously
doubt if there is a town of the same
size in Cass county that can equal it
as a business point. Situated as it Is,
at the junction of the Lincoln branch
and main line of the Missouri Pacific,
Union Is destined at no very distant
day to be one of the most Important
points on the Missouri Pacific railroad
in Nebraska.
Saturday morning wc jumped aboard
of one of Blair Porter's elegant turn
outs, and with Blair hold of the reins,
we were hurried out to the home of
Charley Banning, where we found
many Journal friends who were at
tending the public sale of Mr. run
ning's effects, previous to that gentle
man's removal to Fuinas county, Ne
braska. Here we met our good friend,
J. G. Wunderlich, who steered us
around and Introduced us to many
w hom we never had the pleasure of
meeting before, who very materially
assisted In our enrolling quite a num
ber of new patrons to the Journal. For
his kindness in the Journal's behalf
we desire to return to Mr. Wunder
lich our most sincere thanks.
From the sale we drove Into Ne
hawka for a few hours, where we met
a number of patrons of the Journal
and where we secured a number of
new ones. While In Nehawka we vis
ited the store of F. P. Sheldon, and
was very much surprised to find such
a mammoth establishment In the town.
Mr. Sheldon Is an up-to-date merchant,
and the Immense stock of goods he
carries denotes that he Is doing an Im
mense business, as well. He Is a mast
clever gentleman, and his popularity
among the farmers of that section of
Cass county is supreme. His store Is
one of the nicest In Cass county, which
demonstrates that lie Is energetic, en
terprising and a splendid business
man.
Cunningham Bros, have the only
livery barn In Nehawka, and their
facilities for accommodating the trav
eling public are thorough and up-to-late.
Our time was limited In Ne
hawka, but as we expect to visit the
town again In a short time we will
refer further reference to the pros
rorous vtllago until we can give It a
more worthy write-up.
The following Is a list of new names
aided to the Journal's already big list
ai the Nehawka postoffice: F. P. Shel
don, Cunningham Bros., W. II. Porter,
J. W. Murdock, J. P. Stoll, A. B.
Ticker and J. F. Dale.

years ago, where he attended the
public schools.
While In school ho maintained the
respect of his teachers an ! the good

beautiful Moral tributes were presented
by loving friends and relatives of the

THE PASSING OF AN
OTHER PIONEER CITIZEN
Martin Propst Died This Morning at His

The remains of tho wife has scarcely
been laid at rest, when the Journal is
called upon to chronicle the death of
the husband,
Martin Propst passed away at his

pioneer lias passed to the unknown.
Torture by Savages.
"Speaking of the torture to which
some of the savage tribes in the Philip
pines subject their captives, reminds

District Court.
In the district court the case of Mrs.
Katie Johnson vs. Louis Boedeker ct
al., Is being tried In the court today.
From the facts gathered In regard to
the case It appears that as an adopted
child of Louis Boedeker, deceased, the
plaintiff lays claim to a chare In the
estate against the children of Louis
Boedeker, deceased. The plaintiff
claims that the adoption papers were
made out In the state of Iowa, and
that she was duly adopted by Louis
Boedeker, deceased, but that the pa
pers were cither lost or destroyed re
cently. There are ten children against
whom the action Is brought by the
plaintiff, through her attorney, A. N.
Sullivan. The estate of which she
claims a share Is valued at $12,000 to
115,000.
Bodies-Our Gordens.
Shakespeare says through Jago:
"Our bodies are our gardens, to the
which our wills are gardners; we can
cither have It sterile with Idleness, or
manured with Industry." We can as
well through our own negligence make
our bodies the seat of constant dis
comfort and sickness, or by a slight
effort make them fragrant gardens of
health and vigor. I)j as a good gar
derner Is doing; destroy the weed as
soon as it makes Its appearance; you
banish the sickness by lighting the
first sympton Impaired appetite.
Trlner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine will do It for you. It will give
to jour digestive organs a solid foun
dation, a fighting power against
diseases. It will brings these organs
to a healthy activity In a natural way,
because It does not Irritate tho mucous
membranes, but strengthens them; It
does not destroy but It builds; It
makes new, perfect blood which distri
butes nourlsnment to every particle of
our body. Give It to the child, to the
youth, to the adult, to the senile; It
will benefit every one. I'so It as soon
as you will notice a decline of your
appetite or your strength. At drug
