Colfax County, Nebr., Nov. 20, 1808. I will toll you what Nebraska has done for u poor Gorman boy. I started from Germany in 1801; landed in Now York May 10, 1801; wont to WJb cousin, where I had a brother living. I had just 801, debts to pay and an old mother to support. My father diod when I was 12 years old. After going to Wis consin I worked ton years steady at farming. I Baved $2,150. In tho year 1874, on Augtut 23, I married. On Sop tomber7 I started with my young brido in a prairie schoanor on a lumber wagon for Nebraska on our honeymoon. Wo got to Omaha September 28, 1874. On October 2, 1 bought of tho Union Pacillc Railroad company 100 acres of lund on section 0, Richland procinct, Colfax county, Nebraska. I paid for 80 ucroB and 80 acres I bought on ton years' time. Tho prico for this land was 88 per aero. Wo built ub a little house und stable, bought u cow, u few chickens, a pig, and wo wont to house keeping. We puid caeh for every thirg until we raised boiuo o? our now crop; bought some farming tools und our monoy was ubout all gone. You muBt reraomber in 1874 und 1878 were grasshopper years und we didn't raise much. Our first harvest in Ne braska wus u bountiful ono. Wo hud good wheat, good oatB und Bplondid con, und priceB for gruin woro good. My wifo und I bound our grain by hund und wo made money tho first year. In 1878 I puid for the socond 80 acres of land. After this I have never bought on time, but paid cash as I go. I bought another forty acres, for which I puid $250 in 1878. Wo hud good cropB and good prices and my wifo and I made money and loaned some money to my neighbors on interest. In 1881 I bought another eighty acres of lund, for which I paid $1,000 cash. By this time wus getting 6omo $4,000 out on interest. In 1687 I bought another eighty ucres of lund; paid cash for this, $1,000. Bought u self binder. By this time our two older boyB wore coming on fust to help us. Wo kept a few cows, made butter, raised bogs, und things wont on good. God blessed ovorything that my wifo und I put our hands to. Wo had ubout 80,000 on interest und wore young und hearty in 1802. At this dute I bought 200 acres more of lund; puid 84,200 for tho same Also in 1802 1 bought eighty ucres of lund und paid 81,000 for tho same. In 1804 wo bud u fuiluro of crops.
