Pioneer cf Near Elmwood Now Liv

esting
Career.
T. X. Bobbit of Lincoln, who has
leached the age of 85 years was a
call?r in Elmwood on Tuesday with
friecdo. and while here, made a visit
to this office. Mr. Bobbit started in
the printing bueints at Okoloosa,
la.. 'and worked, nt this, trade for a
time:. 1864. he went west and landed
neat Virginia City Mont., where he
had many experiences in the gold
mining business, as well as adventur
es that are mighty interesting. He
then returned to Okaloosa, and in
IS 69. was married and in the year
came to Nebraska, and landed
at Stove Creek. He stated that Dr.
Kenison was post-master then. He
looked around for a while and finally
ircated on a fnin five miles west of
town, which w:ts his home ' for 4;1
yeais. Since the death of his wife.
t; years ago he has been making his
home with his children, mostly at
Lincoln with a son. He sold his tariii
here and today has a half section of
gr.od Nebraska land near Eldon, Ne
braska. He is a traveler of a good
dtal of experience, having been in
most states west of the Mississippi
river, down in Old Mexico, and cl?ar
thru Canada. He says that he i a
mr-mhy, of the Nebraska Historical
Society. The Territorial Pioneers, is
a member of the Masonic lodge at
Elmwood, and a member of the Con
gregational church at Lincoln. He
has indeed had many experiences and
a number of narrow escapes, one es
pt eially which he told of when he
came very near being captured by the
Indians. He has promised to give
us an account of those early days and
experiences and we feel that this ac
count will be very interesting. Elm
