Former Residents
Here Tell of Early
Days in Nebraska
Mrs. S. M. Chapman and Mrs. Nellie
P. Agnew Gives View of
Their Childhood.
The Lincoln Star of Sunday had
a very interesting article dealing
with the pioneer days and the native
born Nt-braskans who are meeting
this week at Lincoln i.;; a part of the
gathering of the state historical so
ciety. In this group of the native
born Nebi askans is two former ,
Plattsmouth ladies now living at Lin- ;
coin and who give some very inter
esting stories of th" early days.
These two ladies are Mrs. S. M. Chap- '
man and Mrs. Nellie P. Agnew and 1
whose portraits accompany the ar
ticle cn the early days.
The artirie in part is as follows:
Nebraska, even as California, has
its native sons and daughters.
Those cf the far west have long
been eulogized. AVe, who have not
learned the beauty nor the worth of
self-advertising, have given scant at
tention to our native born. It is only
within the last two or three years
that they have banded together, for
the glorification of the state and the
preservation of its history.
A group of those native children
are meeting Monday. A young or
ganization it is, and comparatively
small in membership, but growing
larger each year as those who have
Nebraska as a birthplace learn of it,
and seek entrance.
Naturally, since the state has
reached its sixtieth milestone, there
are many native born of Nebraska.
Such is now. an honorable, not a
unique distinction.
Few Native Born Pioneers. i
In Nebraska, including some in I
Lincoln, are a number who were Ne
braskans when it was but a territory.
Some years before it became a state
native sons and daughters of more
than sixty years ago, men and wom
en born four, six, and even ten years
before Nebraska had acquired her
statehood.
They ere of the inner circle of the
native Nebrasikans. They have grown
as the state has grown, and watched
it burst from a crude, isolated plains
country into a region of modern
cities and towns, chained to the rest
of the world through steel rails and
well kept roads
Life, certainly, is more comfort
able todav. It is a less arduous, less
hazardous existence. Yet these per
sons cr a pioneer day teei tnat lire
was more pleasant then, that it
meant more. Not pessimistic at all,
in their attitude, but "rather with
the feeling that living has lost a
certain zest, a certain corrpamon
ableness. with modern mechanisms
and latest efficiency.
Mrs. S. M. Chapman was born in
Plattsmouth in 1S61, and has resid
ed in Nebraska for all but five years
f her life. Her father and mother
came to the state in the mid tus,
and had taken a claim, although Mrs.
Chapman never lived there. Her
childhood was spent in the town,
and she spent many hours picking
hazel nuts on the location of the
present Missouri Pacific station.
In her opinion, the children of her
day had a happier life than do the
children of today. In this era, they
have too many things, and they do
not have the opportunity to appre
ciate any one thing to the full Mrs.
Chapman can remember Christmas
days for which there was but one
mall gift for each child, and those
were some ot .mis. tnapman s nap
piest hours.
Children Seemed Healthier.
Mrs. Chapman feels that the boys
and girls of today in the city do
have educational advantages that the
arlier children did not enjoy. They
have so many opportunities for
sc hooling, and so many kinds of edu
cation are offered, that there is lit-
le reason for a child not to have a
rounded education. School health is
given a great deal of attention at this
time, also, but in her childhood flays,
Mrs. Chapman says the boys and girls
didn't need it. as they seemed to
have been healthier, possibly because
of their freer, outdoor life.
A playhouse in a stagecoach.
thrilling rides in the coaches of the
early '60s, sunny hours picking wild
strawberries, and picnics on a high
hill are some of the childhood pleas
ures remembered by Mrs. Nellie P.
Agnew, who also was born in Platts
mouth. All pleasures the children
made out of things at hand, but
nevertheless delightful in
pioneer :
days
The Platte bottoms were a field of
strawberries, and Mrs. Agnew took
the family carriage with two om
white horses, all the children of
he town piled in with her, and all;
spent spring afternoons searching for
berries that have never since been
so red. Now and again the children
rode to Ashland in the stage coach, j
fording Salt creek when it grew to
river-like proportions, to the awed
terror of the children, and remain-
ng for the night, or until the next
coacn returnea. v nen tne creeit was
normal, it servea as an excellent
place to go fishing with a pin. j
