Here we are again in Sarpy coun
ty, the smallest county of the state
in point of area, which is approxi
mately 232 square milts. An hour's
ride on an interurban line from
Omaha brings us into Papillion, the
Gretna Green for love-lorn couples
of the metropolis and nearby places.
A few weeks ago we told of the
historical importance of Bellevue,
which was a promising town in its
heyday. It was the seat of the
county and the place where Peter A.
Sarpy attained his greatest prom
inence. Sarpy's great dream was to
make Bellevue "The City of the
Plains," as he called it. The late
Henry T. Clarke, whose name was
associated with the county for half
a century, took up the ambitions of
Sarpy, but alas and alack, all efforts
failed to resuscitate Bellevue. The
establishment of a railroad terminus
at Omaha chilled the ardor of those
who would have reared a metropolis
at Bellevue. The last blow came in
1875, when Papillion wielded tht
balance of power by capturing the
county seat.
Referred to Wrestler.
When we arrived in Papillion on
the day after the signing of the
armistice, most of the leading citi
zens were busy with the United War
Fund campaign. Asking for per
sons and places of interest, one of
the county officials at the court
house referred to Charles Peters, the
strongest man in the county. Our
informant believed that Peters,
prominently known as a wrestler,
would be good for two columns at
the least. After subscribing liberally
to all war activities, Sarpy county
folks then bet their loose change on
Peters, who manages a hotel across
from the court house.
In a more serious mood, however,
I. D. Clark, nephew of the late H.
T. Clarke, suggested that a place of
historical interest might be observed
at the Philip Zweibel farm, a few
miles southeast of Papillion. The
old Baptist mission was erected on
this farm in 1833 and was occupied
by Rev. Moses Merrill until 1840,
when he died. The building origin
ally was a crude log structure, 16x32
feet, and it was the first protestant
mission house in Nebraska. Parts
which weathered the elements were
patched together and today it is
used as a shop and pig pen. The
Rev. Mr. Merrill was sent here by
the Baptist Missionary society to
work among the Otoe Indians with
whom he and Mrs. Merrill were in
fluential. Otoes Were Powerful
In 1823 the agency of the Otoes,
Omahas, Pottawattamies and Paw
nees was at Bellevue. The Otoes
were identified with this part of the
country for many years. They be
longed to the Pawnee nation, and
during ft period of their roamings
lived on the present site of Omaha.
Lewis and Clark, who were here in
1804 on their famous expedition, re
ferred to the Otoes as having been
a powerful tribe. In 1817 the Otoes
signed a treaty of peace and in 1834
they signed another treaty with the
government. In 1882 they were
moved to the Indian territory.
It is generally believed that
whisky was the undoing of the
Otoes while they lived in Sarpy
county. When Logan Fontenelle
was chief of the Omahas in this
same county he appointed trusted
men of his tribe to serve as police
in the suppression of intoxication
among his tribe. Fontenelle was
educated and knew the evil results
of excess. The Otoes had no such
leader of their own and they were
more susceptible to temptation in
their way.
United States Uniform Found,
Two years ago workmen dug up
remnants of an old United States
army uniform within a few feet of
the mission. The articles were taken
into the farm house and kept as
souvenirs, but no particular im
portance was attached to them un
til someone thought of telling Rev.
M. j. bhme of Flattsmouth of the
discovery. The articles found were
parts of a fur hat with feathers and
pieces of an officer's coat with parts
of the epaulets. There were small
bells, bracelets and beads, such as
were worn by the Indians. Father
Shine immediately became interested

in the matter and he set about to
connect them with the Otoes. He
states that John T. Irving, in his in
teresting book, "Indian Sketches,"
refers to the uniform, and he is con
vinced that the coat was worn by
Iotan, chief of the Otoes. Irving
visited the Otoes in 1833 with United
States Commissioner H. T. Ells
worth, on a treaty mission. The
book referred to was dated in 1833
and a copy is one of the -prized vol
umes of the Byron Reed collection
in the Omaha Public library.
"Iotan" is pronounced as "Yutan."
The treaty of 1833 with the Otoes
was made at Yutan, Neb. In 1835
the Otoes and Missouris came down
the river to the country between
La Platte and Papillion. It is
known that Iotan. as well as other
Indians, visited the soldiers then
stationed at Fort Atkinson, later
known as Fort Calhoun. It is there
fore not regarded as strange that
Iotan should have had an old army
uniform, because donning odds and
ends of personal adornment was one
of the best achievements of the In
dians. And with a few drinks of
toddy under his skin, it may be
imagined that Iotan was quite an
imposing figure in his officer's coat
and bells, beads and feathers.
Indians in Debauch.
In his book, Irving relates that
Iotan killed his brother. All of
Irving's Indian stories are from per
sonal experiences, interviews and ob
servations among the Otoes. His
writings have been accepted as au
thoritative. The Otoes held a gen
eral peace celebration, making as
much noise as was heard in Omaha
last Monday. Whisky was the only
beverage used. It was strictly a
"stag" affair, as the squaws were re
quired to keep sober and look after
their liege lords when the latter be
came helpless. Personal encounters
marked the occasion. In one of
these encounters Iotan'a nose was
bitten off by his brother. The loss
of his olfactory organ had a sober
ing effect on Iotan. The brother
ran away. The more Iotan thought
it over, the more he became con
vinced that it was t mean thing for
his brother to have done. The next
morning the chief, realizing that he
had been disfigured for life, sought
his brother and said: "Tonight I
will go to my lodge and sleep. If I
can forgive you when the sun rises
you are safe; if not, you die." The
brother was notified during the next
morning that he was to be killed by
Iotan, who advised the brother to
make no resistance, but to die like
a warrior. The brother fled and,
after wandering in the woods until
he grew worn and haggard, unex
pectedly encountered Iotan, still bent
upon revenge. Hearing the curse
repeated by Iotan, the brother
opened his blanket and bared his
breast to the bullet which sent him
to his death. A few years after that
tragic event Iotan was appointed
chief of the Otoes, and it is said that
he was supreme as chief while he
was the leader. He had five wives.
Adverting again to the old mission
house and the Otoes, reference may
be made to the diary which was
writen by Rev. Moses Merrill in the
old building. The diary was pub
lished by the State Historical society
and has been frequently referred to
by those who are interested in Ne
braska history. This minister's
death was hastened by his arduous
labors among the Otoes. He joined
them on their hunts and no white
man was held in higher esteem by
them.
Falsehoods of Chiefs.
Under date of May 14, 1834, Rev.
Mr. Merrill wrote in his diary as fol
lows: "Before the rising of the sun
heard the noise of an intoxicated
Indian. Upon inquiry for the whisky,
I was informed that Itan (Irving
spelled it Iotan), had obtained some
of it in exchange for a horse. In a
few minutes I saw Itan and the next
chief in rank walking together in
state of intoxication. Thus, false are
these professions of temperance. I
have seen similar instances of false
hoods in other chiefs. What else
can be expected of the Indian at
large? Itan had too much respect
for me to make his house the scene
of rioting. He resorted to the house
of a brother. At 11 o'clock Itan and
the second chief came into the lodge
in comoanv. both intoxicated. Itan
had much to sav of whisky and
spoke with great earnestness, ad
dressing himself to me. He said it
was bad that -the Indians did not
make it. He now cursed the Ameri
cans for makine whisky. Then I
went away. After having ridden 20
miles I looked back, and to my sur
prise, saw the second chief, who had
witnessed my retreat. He beckoned
me to return. I told him I felt very
bad. He said that whisky was very
bad that he had none. His chief
object seemed to be to conciliate my
teelings. tie was our. paruauy in
toxicated." His diary of March 27, 1835, notes
that a shipment of 12 barrels of
whisky or alcohol arrived at
Bellevue.
Under date of May 12, 1834, the
diary reads: "Read the creation
and prayers to those in Chief Itan's
lodge. Was invited with Itan to
take breakfast with one of his wives.
He has five wives; two only live in
his own lodge; the others have
lodges of their own, to which they
often invite the chief to eat with
them. The Indians are extravagant
eaters. It is now planting time.
The men lie upon their couches and
sit upon the ground and smoke
their pipes all day long, while the
women go from half a mile to two
miles to plant their corn, often, too,
carrying a baby with them. They are
also required to bring their own
wood and water, which are half a
mile distant. My heart is pained to
see the tasks imposed upon these
women. At evening was invited out
to eat with another of Itan's wives,
in company with the chief. She is
not more than 25 years of age, while
he is more than 50. This feast (so
called by the Indians) consisted
simply of boiled corn served in a
wooden bowl with a large horn
spoon."
Mission Purchase Fails.
A few years ago an effort was
made to raise money for the pur
chase of acreage around the old mis
sion and preserve the place for its
historical value, but the project was
abandoned.
The name "Papillion" means but
terfly and it is believed that Papil
lion creek was so named on account
of many butterflies observed there
bv the early settlers. This creek
formerly was known as "Butterfly
creek." It is possible, however,
that the seat of Sarpy county was
named for John B. Papillion, a St.
Louis fur trader. In the original
county division of the state the pres
ent area of Sarpy county was a part
of Douglas county,, the name of
Sarpy being adopted on February 1,
1857.
Mrs. John B. Chase of Papillion
settled in the county in 1856 on a
farm which still remains in the
family name.. She is related to Hi
ram Chase, the Indian lawyer of
Pender, Neb. She stated that Hen
ry Fontenelle, brother of Chief
Logan Fontenelle, occasionally vis
ited the Chase home and she re
ferred to Henry as having been
a man of strong personality, stately
and of good manners. Mrs. Chase
told of the Indian scares which
caused the settlers to mobilize at
Saling's grove when runners would
notify them of impending danger.
On one of these occasions Indians
stole 70 head of cattle near the
mouth of the Platte.
Founders Named.
Samuel Gramlich is the oldest liv
ing native of the county. He was
born 60 years ago on the farm where
he now resides, a few miles south
east of Papillion. His father, Louis
Gramlich, homesteaded the tract.
Cordelia Gramlich, daughter of this
oldest native son, is superintendent
of the county schools. The late
Grace Bradley, daughter of James
T. Allen, was the first white girl
born in the county.
The founders of Papillion were
Dr. D. E. Beadle, John L and Mish
ael Beadle, and Mead Pike. Mrs.
L. M. Beadle, daughter-in-law of
Mishael Beadle, still resides in the
town. Dr. Beadle was the first post
master and was known as the father
of the town. Albert H. and Wil
liam Sander were among the first
settlers. Herman Sander, son of
William, is a merchant Charles T.
Pike, son of one of.the founders, is
proprieter of a store. C B. Tower
has charge, of the second oldest real
estate abstract office in the state,
the oldest being in Omaha. Lieu
tenant Governor Edgar Howard was
a bright and shining light when he
was editor of the Papillion Times.
Papillion has a population of 700
and the county 12,000. The financial
institutions are the Banking House
of A. W. Clarke and the State Bank
of Papillion, the latter being pre
sided over by T. J. Shanahan, for
merly of Omaha. Michael Dunn,
father of I. J. Dunn of Omaha, ar
rived in Nebraska in 1856 and assist
ed in surveying nearly all of the
present area of the Sarpy county.
A. W. Clarke, head of the bank
which bears his name, is a brother
of the late H. T. Clarke, who was
identified with Bellevue and Omaha.
Judge A. E. Langdon, born in the
county 55 years ago, is chairman of
the county council ot defense and
county coal administration and
holds several othere positions in
connection with war activities. I.
D. Clarke, son of A. W. Clarke, has
lived in the county 54 years. He
has been active for many years in
advancing the best interests of his
town, county and state. The prin
cipal industry of Papillion is a milk-
condensing plant, whose product has
been entirely received by the gov
ernment for a year or more. The
first bonded indebtedness of the
county occurred a year ago, when
$50,000 was voted for bridges. Last
March a tract of 160 acres adjoin
ing the town site was sold for $50,
000. Dr. R. B. Armstrong is mayor.
