VITAMINS GREEN STAMPS - 'V' V. rf Monsignor Joseph Priudzik, pastor of St. John's Church, Plattsmouth, offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the new Scout Building here, as part of a dedication service. More than 30 boys from three troops and quite a few adults participated in the -Ed Knabe (Continued from Page 1) dugout with John Hansen's grandfather and Grandpa Hueb- ner. In 1855 he returned to Illinois to get married then he and his bride returned to Cass County. It wasn't much of a place to bring a young bride; this land of Bluestem and Indians, but young Mrs. Knabe came and stayed. It's over 100 years how that the Knabe's have been influential Cass Countyans. Harry Knabe lives on the old home place where his grandfather settled. The Indians used to sit and make their bows and arrows on the ridge where Harry Knabe's concrete crib now stands. They got their flint from a flint mine 2 miles north of Nehawka. The pits from their mining can still be seen. . ., r - . There ,. were several good springs in the neighborhood and the Indians often camped near by. One of these places was east of Ed's house and they often camped there when he was a boy, showing . up at the house bright and early in the morn ing' to beg for food. When Ed's grandfather first came here a group of Indians showed up where he was work-. ing with a peace pipe. Mr. Knabe didn't smoke but he had to that day and .while ; the peace pipe went around, the bronzed faced visitors 'curiously . stroked his waist Jength beard., . . .. After that they came often to beg food. If Mrs. Knabe was alone they just walked right in but Mr. Knabe kept a club in the house to chase them away and when , he came home they scattered. Ed told about his grandfather selling a team of oxen to old John Gllmore: "they were wild oxen and they kept them in a log pen. The next day here came Gilmore driving 2 span of broke oxen. Getting the yoke on two wild oxen was quite a trick. If you only got the yoke on one ox he was likely to run off knock ing down everything and every one in his path with the other end o the yoke. I thought they'd run and somersault over in the ditch somewhere but somehow old Johnny got the wild ones hitched up with an old span in front and another behind and up over the hill they went. Well sir, you know, only a few days later he had those oxen out plowing corn!" Ed went on to tell about neigh borhood entertainment. "We weren't allowed to go to public dances but I remember the dance floor east of Banks Store where they had dances during the Nehawka Fair. One time it rained and rained. It looked like the dance was rained out but some of the fellows came to my father to borrow a canvas. Dad loaned them the canvas and we went on home in the rain, but those men put up the canvas over the dance floor and when the dance was over they went home in the starlight." "Although we weren't allowed to go to public dances we went to dances at Huebner's and at other neighbors." Although Ed didn't actually see the Mormon's coming through he can remember his rather telling about them and could still see the trail when he was young. They landed at Nebraska City and then started out with every- : it 1HE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Monday, November 13, 1961 PAGE THREE KEEP IN Mrs. Alice Sharpnack returned home at the weekend by jet from Burbank, Calif., where she va cationed for three weeks. She was a guest of her brother, Theo dore Ptak and Mrs. Ptak; a niece and her family, Mr. and Mrs. Dean French.

Y. arrived Wed nesday for a visit with their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. James Drennan, Alan and Jimmy. Mr. and Mrs. Amster plan to leave the city Thursday to further their vacation in Flor ida. one who was able walking. They crossed Knabe's place and forded the Weeping Water west of there. Ed's grandfather was in Ne braska City one time when a group of Mormons landed there. He brought home with him a sack of wooden shoes the group was selling to buy supplies. I've presented for you my picture. Now let's look at it again the way it Is today. Imagine we are at the top of the same high hill. The same scarf of Indian Summer haze hangs over the next hill. The same row of trees marks the path of the Weeping Water but the verdant land scape is filled with carefully laid out fields dotted by pasture lands. It's cornpicking time and the cribs are bursting. As always the overflow from Ed's fields is being piled on the ground near the road in a rich golden heap. That row of pines over there marks the Knabe home and way over in the haze near what was known as the Mormon ford a little white steepled school house hugs the hill defensively. A shy deer, last remnant of a wild land, leaps across the road and bounds away. Time makes so many changes. By tracing the lives of our com munity's families you can see the county grow. The Knabe's have been one of our community's most respected families for over 100 years and Ed can remember many instanc es where he and his parents or grandparents saw history in the making. You can't help liking jovial Ed Knabe. He's a hard-working farmer and a respected citizen but a good natured and kindly friend. Now jtou've seen my picture. It's a portrait of the Knabe's past and present.. It's a picture of a pretty, peaceful part of Ne hawka and I hope you have en joyed viewing it. ,. fa 9 0 dialogue Mass, making the responses in a body.
