Scene of Very Im

Memorial Gifts to Memory of De
parted Members Blessed by Bis
hop E. V. Shayler
The lit. Rev. K. V. Shayler of
Nebraska, visited St. Luke's parish
Sunday morning and celebrated The
Holy Eucharist at an elyeven o'clock
service. A large congregation greet
ed the Hishop who preached a beauti
ful sermon from the epistle for the
first Sunday in advent. Romans: 1
king for his text, "The Night Is
Far Spent, the Day is at Hand, Let
Therefore Cast Off the Works of
Darkness, and Let Us Put on the
Armour of Light." The Bishop em
phasized the neew of one's com pan
ionship with Jesus Christ and th
need of His guiding light in the life
of every one.
During the service the bishop con
secrated three memorial gifts to the
parish. A beautiful brass missal desk
in memory of Harriet Clement M
Naughton presented by her sons.
Kirk. Jr., and James; two engraved
glass cruets in memory of Frank Al
fred White, presented by his sister
J. A. Donelan. and a bronze tablet in
memory of Mr. Paul Hill, presented
by his daughter. Miss Mabel Hill, an
instructor in the post graduate de
partment of Dana Hall school, Wel-
lesley, Mass.
The tablet is very plain in design,
limensions 12x18 inches, its chief
decorations being a small latin cross
above the inscription and a small
grape-vine emblem underneath. This
tablet was cast by Henry L. Norton
of Winthrop, Mass., the inscription
reading:

and will ever remain an inspiration
to the members of St. Luke's, that
Mr. Hill so valued his membership
in the parish that after sixty years
his daughter has made this gift to
the church and writes: "The tablet
will commemorate my dear father's.
interest in St. Luke's church and be
to me a comfort, that out in the 'Far
West' there will hang on the walls
of St. Luke, the constant reminder cf
my father's love for the church.'
As it has been of absorbing inter
est to the parish to read what Miss
Hill has written of her father's early-
life in Nebraska and his association
with St. Luke's which they wish to
submit to the readers of the Journal.
Mr. Hill was associated with Mr
Henry Brown. Mr. F. D. ITolbrooV.
Mr. James O'Kane. and Mr. John
Fitzgerald, the builder of the Fitz
gerald block on the corner of 6th
and Main street.
The story of Paul Hill in Nebras
ka:
My father, Paul Hill, was born in
1S15 In a New England village where
his ancestors, the Hills, had been
granted a thousand acres for a town
ship. The grant was given by Gov.
Winthrop and Ralph Hill and his
son, together with two ungiisnmen
laid out the town of Billerica, Mas
sachusetts, naming it for the Eng
lish town of Billericay, in Essex.
In 1836 my father undertook an
extremely interesting piece of work.
I do not know how the appointment
came to him when he was only twenty-one
years of age. but I do know
the experience left a lasting im
pression upon him. lie was given
the Commissary Denartment under
Col. Saunderson of the U. S. army.
.vho had been detailed to convey a
bond of Indians from South Bend,
Michigan, to the territory of Ne
braska.
At the outset the Colonel ard my
father moved the Indians rapidly and
successfully until they reached the
prairie of Illinois. Here the tribe
mutined. The Col. Onel and his
young commissariat might have been
massacred then and there but for a
strange piece of good fortune in the
shape of a traveling circus. My
father spied a cloud of dust on the
horizon, seeming to cross the pra
irie. In mad haste he mounted his
horse and rode in the southerly di
rection not knowing its mean, but
with great hopes that something
might develop that would break the
mutiny and save their lives. He
found a train of schooner wagons
with regular typical circus company
enroute for some Mississippi town.
There was the clown and the tum
blers, the trapeze men and women
and a snake charmer. I cannot re
call all the exhibit in the zoo, but
there were monkeys, I remember, and
possibly an 'elephant, but of that I
am not sure.
For a sum of money my father
inveigled them into pitching their
tents and giving a circus then and
there to the Indians. Child-like, the
tribe of red men quite forgot their
grievances during the exhibition and
at night Col. Sanderson and my
father picked up their trail and push
ed on. Later on, just where I do not
remember, the colonel fell ill. very
ill. and had to return to Washing
ton. So it was that the young com
missariat was the first white man in
command of a tribe of Indians to
push his way to the reservation sur
veyed In Washington where the In
dians were to be established. Years
afterwards when my father went
back to the growing city of Omaha
he was able to find the very spot
where their tents were pitched after
he had brought the Indians across
the river, that, too, was an interest
ing story. They had to swim across

and father on his hor;-e had to take
the lead, urging the Indians to fol
low him into the water. I feel u,uite
sure there were rafts built bv the
Indians on which to carry over food
and raiment, but of that detail (it
is so hazy in my mind I cannot give
the picturesque story I would.
The -anecdotes concerning thes-
early experiences do not riehtf nil ,-
belong in this particular storv f mv
father's life in his relation to Plaits- E
but they were of absorbing interest
to hsi family and they arm Id have
been recorded, had we oeen wise in
our youth. Alas, they were only
stories to us, and much of the unus
ual historic worthwhile data has
been forgotten. Th- memr-mbrance
is more like a fragrance, intangible,
but very lovely. It is of my father's
association in Nebraska that has l-ad
me to write tlm sketch.
From 163 to 1S66 Colonel Thomas
Doane of Charlestown. Mas-., i'oui.i!
er of Doan College. Crete. Neb., and
my father, Paul Hill, were associated
in the building uf the Hoosae Tu:i
nel. It was an appointment bv the
Massachusetts legislature. When
his appointment terminated. M :
Doane as chief engineer and vi:h
my rather as contructmg engineci
became interested in the extension o:
the Burlington and Missouri Kiv-r
railroad which was in lSRS to be
extended from P'attsmouth to Fort
Kearney. As I dictate this remem
brance, for I have absolutely nothing
to turn to of my father's record-.
I '"Old in my hand a very interest
ing pamphlet published in IPC? giv
ing full particulars of the Iowr. ami
Nebraska lands which were to b-
opened up with the extension of thin
railroad. It would be an invaluable
book if no other copies of it are in
existence, but doubtless a great many
of the pale green covered books wen
issued at this time and are in ex
istence. They were issued by tie
land department 6f the Burlington
and Missouri River railroad com
pany, and on the frst p;tge is ouot
ed Whittier. I doubt if txlav noetrv-
is often used to mingle it:; emotional
quality with the hard business of
selling railroad stock and exploiting
railroad land, but as the fiv?t page
states. It will be found worthy of
careful examination," (The booklet ,
I mean, not the poem) but hen
the two verses:
"The Church's

I do not know, I have no idea who
wrote the "words, or why the givci
felt that my father had been of as
sistance to such an extent thai there
should be gratitude from St. Lukes
to him. I only know that when I wa:
five years old he picked me up in bin
lap and opened the New Testament
telling me that the book was very
sacred to him and explaining what
the church meant or should mean
to a little girl like me. I could read
my primer and little stories with
greae east, my sister having t;:uht
me, but my father said when IiO
opened to the fir:;t ehap'.er ef St.
John, "Nov.- I am going to teach
you to read really and truly, so we
will begin with the very important
chapter which t-l!s cmi that Orni

quite sure that the loundati'ms i'
my faith were established : t that
particular moment on the ltv ly
autumn Sunday afternoon. At all
events it has never lc-en questioned
in my mind from that day to thi:
but that God is spirit. You can yee
why the New Testament which my
father let me read with him has
been my constant companion sine-,

It is because of this sacred mem
ory that I wish to commemorate
whatever my father did do for St.

During the two or three years that
Mr. Doane and mv father were in
Nebraska and throwing bridgt
across the x.atte river wt.i'h tney
als undertook to build, both gentle
men naturally purchased tracts of
land which were offered by the com
pany. It just hapnend that Mr. Doane
bought much of the acreage in tin
town of Crete, Beatrice and various
other townships. It is interesting to
remember that many of these towns
were named by Mr. Doane himseli'.
They ran alphabetically: Dorchest
er. Exeter, Fairmont, Grafton, Har
vard, Inland, Juniata, Lovell and
Kearney. I rather think my father
named the city of Lowell, or that Col.
Doane so named it because my father
had lived in the manufacturing city
cf Lowell, Mass., after he was a boy
of fifteen. My father bought his
land at Ashland, Nebraska.
Meanwhile during this year of en
gineering in Nebraska, Mr. Doane
and my father spent the greater part
of their time or rather made their
headquarters at Plattsmouth. Platts
mouth was a much oldr town than
these villages which sprang up as the
Burlington and Missouri railroad
company developed the land. It was
evidently a very advanced town in
1868 and the parish of St. Luke had
built the church which still carries
on the work of the Episcopal Diocese,
giving to the citizens of Plattsmouth
a. spiritual home where they may
worship God and bind themselves to
gether in the fellowBhip of Jesus
Christ.
Now what happened In 1S69 I
do not know, and I do not know that
my father ever explained to my
mother or to us children the occasion
which brought about his receiving
from St. Luke the gift of a beautiful
New Testament. Upon the title page
of this embossed leather book these
words in a large flowing hand were
written:
