BUSINESS FIRM
Successful Pioneer Merchants of
Cass Connty.
Edward G. Dovey was born in Staf
finger, England, December 12, 1818, and
during his early years attended school,
but on gaining his majority learned the
f . l v..nrt-PH
trade ot a potter, at w nu n ne worwea
;n England until cominGr to America in
1812. Miss Jane Johnson was born
September 15th, 1827, and on the 8th of
I November, 1845, Edward G. Dovey and
j Miss Jane Johnson were united in mar
riage, and in a short time started for
J this country. They arrived in America
near the last days of 1845, stopping at
New York for a short time, and when
spring opened Mr. Dovey accepted a
position at his trade in a pottery at Jer
sey City, just across from New York.
Here they lived for nearly two years,
staving until the fall of 1847. From
i here they went to Wellsville, Ohio,
where they stayed during the next year
J and until the spring of 1849, then going
! to Cincinnati, where Mr. Dovey worked
; at his trade for another year. In 1850
; they moved to Nashville, Tenn., where,
with Henry Amison, he engaged inbusi-
, ness, carrying at first a stock ot gro
; ceries and afterwards dry goods, and
later on doing a good deal of business in
' the wholesale line in both groceries and
dry goods. Here they continued until
! the breaking out of the civil war.
; During that period values were un
stable and the chances for losing all the
property they had seemed good, so they
; closed out the business, getting rid of
it in 1862. While in the business they
had employed Robert Doom as a book-
keeper, and at the beginning of the war
he had come west and was in the terri
: tories when the first of the fighting be
' gan. He wrote his former employers
what the west was, offering better
chances for investment than what could
be found in Tennesee. Mr. Dovey and
his partner with their families, Mr.
Dovey's at that time consisting of his
wife and two sons, George E. and Oliver
C, started for Denver, thinking that a
good place to settle to invest in proper-
ity or go into business. When they had
Ktten 33 far 88 Plattsmouth, they were
compelled to stop, as the Indians were
so troublesome that it was not safe to
. , . , . ,
try to cross the plains unless escorted
, romnanv of soldiers Thev had snent
y a company oi soiaiers. i.ney naubpeni
almost a year in getting here, arriving
.. ' , - ,
on npru oiii, xcoo. i iicn mcjr luunuit
j was do dangerous traveling across the
j prairies to the west, they concluded to
! stay here and Mr. Dovey formed apart
! nership with his former partner and pur-
chased the business of Davis & Argyle,
i who conducted a general store in a
j small room on lower Main street. j
I About two years after the firm of :
Amison & Dovey began business, some
time in 1865, they took up the business j
of packing pork, which they continued j
for a number, ot years, in tnis tneyaia
a good business, which was profitable
. during most of the time they were en-
j gaged in it.
The firm of E. G. Dovey & Son, the
j successors to Amison & Dovey, have, a j
j freight receipt framed and in their office, j
' which shows that they forwarded from I
here to Denver, Colo., in I860, about;
; two hundred dollars worth of goods,
much of which was hardware, and weigh
i ed, according to the weights at Denver,
9727 pounds, and which the freighters
changed 12J cents per pound, for trans
porting it from here to Denver. Upon
this the firm advanced the sum of four
j hundred dollars and when the freight
I arrived at Denver the freighters col
'elcted $500.00 more, making $900.00.

Later they recieved another $100 00,
then at another time $50. 00 and then the
balance at still another time, which was
$165.87 making in all at 12i cents per
pound for 9,727 pounds $1215.87.
It required six months to make the
round trip and was one continual war
fare with the Indians after getting
about one hundred miles away from the
Missouri river. In 1868 Mr. Amison
withdrew from the business and George
E. Dovey was admitted to the firm and
it then became E. G. Dovey & Son. Dur
ing the time when the firm of Amison
& Dovey was doing business, they ac
quired considerable land, and among it
was what is known as the Dovey sec
tion which lies near Cedar Creek and
which the firm still owns; another piece
of property was that which is now used
as the county farm, the latter, in the
settling up of the firm of Amison &
Dovey, went to the former and the
Dovey section to the firm of E. G. Do
vey & Son. When they came here they
built the place known as the old Dovey
homestead on Seventh and Oak streets
now occupied by W. J. Streight. In
this they lived all the time during the
life of E. G. Dovey.
In the year 1872 Henry Boeck had
just completed the building where the
Dovey store now is. He and they trad
ed, Mr. Boeck going to the brick which
stood where H. M. Soennichsen's coal
office is, and the Doveys occupied their
present location.
July 25, 1881, Edward G. Dovey died
and the firm became E. G. Dovey &
Sons, which consisted of the three boys,
George E., Oliver C. and Horatio N.
and their mother, who held the interest
of her husband. In 1886 they built an
other room on a lot east of where they
had the store and remodeledd the upper
story, making the entraceto the second
floor all at one stairway, the front of
the second story being rented for offices
and the rear part being used for a car
pet room for the dry goods department.
About fifteen years ago the firm
bought the First National bank, since
which time H. N. Dovey has had charge
of the business there. Several years
ago George E. Dovey built the magnifi
cent residence where he now makes his
home, known as "The Heights. " Oliver
C. built him a residence on Sixth and
Locust which is very comodmious and
substantial brick structure, making a
beautiful and comfortable home. At
the time of purchasing the First Nat
ional bank, H. N. Dovey purchased the
McLaughlin residence on the corner of
Fifth and Oak streets which is a hand
some and substantial brick, making a
most pleasant home, having a command
ing view of the surroundings.
A Very Bad Place.
A very bad place has been allowed to
remain in the road near the Wiles farm
for some time. During the heavy rain
the approach to both ends of the culvert,
over which the road passes, was washed
out and left large holes, so that it is ex- j
tremely dangerous even to farmers in
daylight and very hazardous to strang
ers or those traveling at night. Com
missioner Fredrich informed a Journal
man that it would be fixed tomorrow or
he would know the reason why.
Picnicking Today.
The Presbyterian Sunday School are
holding a picnic at Paradise Park today.
Conveyance was furnished at Streight's
corner and a large number of people are
in attendance. They were provided
with hammocks, swings and all the con
trivances which add to the enjoyable
features of a Sunday School picnic.
Everything good to eat is also in abund
ance and with lemonade made from the
cold waters of the spring and supple
mented by a plentiful supply of ice
cream, they bid fair to have a good time.

Liverpool cables on wheat 1J higher,
corn I higher. Chicago receipts: wheat
203, corn 170, oats 211. Estimated for
Friday: wheat 184, corn 142, oats 255.
Bradstreet's world's visible, wheat in
creased 2,467,000 bushels; corn decreas
ed 813,000 bushels; oats decreased 453,
000 bushels. No reports of rain: fore
cast: scattered showers over the corn
belt with rising temperature tonight
and Friday. Northwest receipts: wheat
124; last year 118.
Wheat opened a cent lower this morn
ing and showed considerable weakness,
selling off two cents from last night's
close during the first half hour. The
frost scare in the Canadian northwest
and in Minnesota and the Dakotas was
overworked yesterday and the bulls who
were so anxious to buy wheat last night
were equally anxious to get on the other
side today. There was little doing af
ter the first break.prices ranging around
the previous low point for the next three
hours of the session. Toward the close
another sinking spell set in, carrying
the prices to 2J and 2J under yesterday's
close. The final figures showing a loss
of about 2c for the day. Believe this
wheat a good sale for 5c to 10c per bu
The September liquidation has not
started in yet and when it does there
will be a good decline all around.
Corn had lost all its bullish feeling on
the openiner today, prices ranging f to
lower and later selling off over a cent
under yesterday. The bulls have gotten
over their activity which they showed
yesterday. The weather is getting fav
orable again and showers are predicted
over the corn belt. Expect more liber
al receipts from now on and a letup in
the cash demand. Corn is too high any
way and with favorable weather and
other favorable influences should have
a good decline from these prices. Sell
corn and stay with it.
Oats opened about unchanged, Sept.
selling higher making the top price
for this option but the market soon
weakened off, losing a full cent the first
hour. There was little change the bal
ance of the session, prices closing to
lower for the day. Present quotations
of oats for future delivery are wholly
out of proportion and can only be ac
counted for and sustained on the as
sumption that sellers cannot furnish the
contract grade. The present market
value of oats for future delivery are
nearly 50 per cent, higher than the same
options were selling at a year ago while
the government report shows only 90,
000,000 bushels short or a shortage of
10 per cent, from last year's crop. High
priced oats result in a certain economy
of consumption; the using of other feeds
and the more liberal feeding of hay.
These oats are not worth so much money
by a long ways and strongly advise sales
of May around these prices.
