LANCASTER COUNTY

Addison E. Sheldon

LetterANCASTER County was conceived in speculation and born of promotion. The first territory legislature which convened at Omaha in 1855 was largely composed of "carpetbaggers" from Iowa and Missouri who came to Nebraska to hold office and to exploit the resources of the new country. In future years Lincoln was destined to become a pawn in the oft-recurring battle for location of the state capitol. In the fall of 1854, acting Governor Thomas R. Cuming proclaimed the boundaries of Lancaster, along with seven other counties, for election purposes. The legislature of 1855 shifted these boundaries with the result that Lancaster County was left in a strip 72 miles from north to south, and 24 miles wide.
   While the first legislature was in session in 1855, rumors reached the ears of promotional-minded politicians that there was a region just west of Cass County where salt of excellent quality could be gathered like manna from heaven along the shores of a river and lake, to be sold at a handsome profit. Plans were laid to corner these saline lands for speculative purposes. William Kempton of Cass and Gideon Bennett of Pierce undertook to engineer the legislative end while their associates, James Cardwell, Simon Thrapp, William Whitmore and others staked claims to the best locations along Salt creek from the present site of Hickman to the Salt basin. In the years following many "salt companies" developed in this region.
   It was the earliest practice of the legislature to define the boundaries of a county and establish a seat of justice. Kempton and Bennett had themselves appointed, along with William Corfield, a commissioner, to locate a seat of government for the new county of Lancaster. They named the county seat Chester. Later a bill was introduced to make it the capital of Nebraska Territory. A plat of Chester Town Claim, filed with the Cass County clerk in 1856, showed its location as being approximately two miles south of the present site of the penitentiary. A later change in the law gave settlers the right to choose their own county seat and soon this paper capital was forgotten.
   The first actual settlement in Lancaster County, as then constituted, was by Captain Donovan and family in 1857, near the mouth of Oak creek. During the next two years settlements were started on lower Salt creek and on Camp creek, both near Waverly, and on Stevens creek in the eastern part of the county. To escape annoyance by the Indians, encamped in large numbers at the Salt basin in the summer of 1858, Donovan moved his family to Stevens creek. For the same reason practically all the settlers in southern Lancaster County abandoned their claims.
   When the free homestead law became effective Jan. 1, 1863, Captain Donovan was the first in the county to enter a homestead, just east of the present State Hospital.
   The first move toward county organization was in 1859, when a commission was appointed to locate the county seat. In the county election in 1863 J. S. Gregory was elected to the territorial legislature from the Lancaster County district, and John Cadman, who lived in Clay County, was elected from the Clay, Johnson and Gage district.
   Cadman, fearing that proponents of a more central location might win a fight to locate the county seat in some other place than his choice south of the present State Hospital site, proposed to abolish Clay County and divide its territory between Lancaster and Gage. In 1864 the legislature approved his plan, and the county seat was relocated, not at Cadman's Yankee Hill, but in Elder Young's new village, Lancaster, later called Lincoln.
   Lancaster County's first postoffice, established in 1863 near Salt Basin, was in charge of John S. Gregory, who drew a salary of $3 per year with an added allowance of $12 annually for carrying mail to and from Saltillo in Clay County.
   The first term of district court was held in November, 1864, in Jacob Dawson's log cabin, Judge Elmer S. Dundy presiding.
   The first organized school district was established in 1864 with Miss Phoebe Elliott as school teacher. From this small beginning Lancaster's present school system has developed.
   The first place of worship was established by the Methodist Protestant Church in 1866 and in the same year the Congregationalists organized. Within four years of the founding of the city, the Methodists, Congregationalists, Roman Catholics, German Methodists, Christians, Presbyterians and Episcopalians had erected buildings in which to worship.
   In 1867 the fourteen-year struggle between the South and North Platte factions was climaxed when the state capital was removed from Omaha to Lincoln. In September of that year the city was platted and lots were reserved for a capitol building, a state university, an agricultural college, a state penitentiary, the State Historical Society, and other commercial, social, educational and religious structures.

Who's Who


   Although considerable difficulty was encountered in obtaining funds for building the capitol, the structure was completed and ready for occupancy when the legislature convened early in 1869. Lincoln then consisted of four grocery stores, one bakery, one cabinet shop, two paint shops, two livery stables, two meat markets, two lumber yards, five or six hotels, a bank, two churches, a one-room schoolhouse and two daily papers, one of each political faith. Population had increased from about 30 in 1867 to more than 500 in 1869.
   The year 1871 was one of great building activity but a setback came when enemies of Lincoln impeached Governor Butler. Claiming that capital removal from Omaha was illegal, they launched a move to locate the seat of government at some point on the Union Pacific. The move was defeated and the city recovered in due time. In 1873-74 the streets around Government Square were graded. Construction on the City Hall began the following year.
   Despite these improvements, Lincoln in 1880 had few of the conveniences of a modern city. Streets were unlighted, poorly policed and there was no paving. Wooden sidewalks were to be found only in the business district. The university on the north and the capitol on the southeast were on the outer limits of settlement. The high school was on the eastern edge of town. The first sanitary sewers were laid in 1887 and paving began in 1888. The Lincoln Electric Light Company, organized in 1884, was later merged with the Gas Company under the name of the Lincoln Electric Light and Gas Company. Gas street lights, installed in 1886, were replaced by the city electric light system in 1905. The first street car, horse drawn, appeared in 1883. The Lincoln Telephone Exchange was organized in 1879 and in 1880 the new Burlington depot was completed. Fifty-one business houses and one thousand homes were built in 1881. Free mail delivery began the following year. Meanwhile the population was growing; it increased from approximately 7,000 to 13,003 in 1880.
   The Funke Opera House was built in 1885 and 1880-1900 saw the beginning of Lincoln's fine library system, which includes at least seven outstanding libraries. The University Library, the State Law Library, the library of the Nebraska State Historical Society, the Lincoln public library, Nebraska Wesleyan, Union College, and Lancaster County Medical Society Libraries.
   Another bitter legislative fight for capital removal flared in 1875 but the effort was defeated, restoring confidence in the future of Lincoln.. C. H. Gere, member of the Constitutional Convention of 1875, obtained adoption of a section which forbade capital removal unless approved by majority of popular vote. However, the old rivalry over location of the capital did not die easily. In the first decade of the 1900's, Omaha and Lincoln were often deadlocked over the question. A quarrel arose over regulation of the liquor traffic. Anti-saloon sentiment in Lincoln steadily gathered momentum until in 1909 drink emporiums were voted out. Omaha, however, remained "wet," and due to the strong influence of saloon men, nearly won the battle for removal of the capital. In the election which followed, saloons were restored to Lincoln. With the completion of the new ten million dollar capitol building in 1932, after ten years of construction, Lincoln breathed with greater freedom. A masterpiece of Bertrand G. Goodhue, famous architect, the structure is today recognized as one of the most beautiful in the world.
   During the first three years of its existence, Lincoln depended entirely upon stage coach and wagon train for transportation; the names of Cal Parmalee, Samuel Fowler, Stephen Mills, Hyatt & Dorrington, and the Western Stage Company are remembered as pioneers in these fields. In 1869 the legislature authorized land grants to encourage railroad building in the state and Lancaster County voted $50,000 in bonds to the Burlington as an inducement to build a line through Lincoln. In July, 1870, the first Burlington train reached Lincoln and since then it has been a Burlington town. As the Burlington then owned much arable land in the state, energetic measures were adopted to assure its colonization. A pamphlet prepared by Rev. George Alexander of Nebraska City on "The Resources of Nebraska," printed in English, German and Scandinavian, and containing advertisements of its land and a map of its system were sent to all parts of the world. Many foreigners came to America knowing only one person -- the Burlington Land Agent -- and only two towns, New York and Lincoln.
   In later years transportation development in Lincoln kept pace with the nation. The city became "air minded" and Page Field was established approximately one and one-half miles south of the penitentiary. Here Charles A. Lindbergh learned to fly in 1922. In 1927 the Arrow Aircraft Company was started in Havelock and in the same year, according to the city directory, three other companies were engaged in the manufacture of airplanes. Arrow also had a flying field.
   One of the several floods which have inundated the Salt creek bottoms occurred in 1902; the worst of these floods came in 1908 when hundreds of residents were driven from their homes and nine lives were lost. Salt creek again flooded the Lincoln bottoms in 1913. In later years the development of storm sewers greatly reduced hazards from this source.
   While Lincoln has one of the lowest homicide rates per capita in the nation, it has not entirely escaped criminal depredations and outbreaks. A spectacular prison break at the penitentiary on March 13, 1912, resulted in the killing of the warden, the deputy warden and two other employes. Shorty Gray, John Dowd and Charles Morley escaped in a blinding snowstorm but were overtaken four

days later near Gretna, where a running fight ensued. Shorty Gray and Roy Blunt, a young farmer whom the convicts had captured, were killed; Dowd committed suicide to escape capture and Morley was returned to prison.
   On Sept. 17, 1930, a daring daylight holdup of the Lincoln National Bank netted the robbers more than $1,000,000, the biggest haul in the history of American crime. Although three men were subsequently convicted of the robbery, considerable mystery has always surrounded the crime.
   In 1916 and 1917 several strikes occurred in Lincoln, including construction workers' and traction employes' attempts at higher wages and unionization. War fervor marked 1917 and 1918. Industry was speeded up to meet war demands; labor was scarce and prices soared. Inflated credit led to wild speculation.
   Draft registration began in July, 1917, and before the Armistice was signed nearly four thousand of the county's young men were in training camps or on the battlefields of Europe. Ninety of them died in the service.
   The end of the war found Lincoln prosperous and growing. Havelock railroad shops were enlarged, residential additions were plotted, and business concerns were further developed. However, in about 1920 business failures and unemployment heralded a period of deflation. Lincoln however, managed to adjust itself to post-war conditions, and by 1923 building activities were renewed. The Lincoln General Hospital was opened in 1925, and Bryan Memorial Hospital in 1926.
   Changes in the form of government used by Lincoln also have been witnessed during the years.
   Frank Zehrung was the first mayor under the commission form of government, adopted in 1913. Somewhat more than twenty years later, agitation resulted in the adoption in May, 1936, of the unsalaried seven-man council, a modified city manager plan.
   The pinch of unemployment became severe in early 1931. An "Unemployed League" was formed in December, and within a year grew to a membership of two thousand. The "League" existed until 1933. In the fall of 1932 the federal government stepped into the picture with direct relief and employment for jobless men. State and government expenditures were increased, work projects were begun, streets were paved, sewers and waterworks were extended, parks were improved, new buildings, including the zoo in Antelope Park and the Student Activities building were erected, all with the aid of the relief administration.
   Waverly was an early Lancaster County settlement before the coming of the Burlington. Roca, platted in 1872, Hickman, Firth, Bennet, Raymond, Walton, Princeton, Panama, Martel, Emerald, Malcolm, Hallam, Denton, Davey, and Cheney are thriving centers of local trade established by the railroads as stations. Other small village postoffices are at Holland, Kramer, Prairie Home, Saltillo, Sprague, and Agnew.
   In 1939, encouraged by federal funds, a building boom developed in Lincoln, thus enabling the city to give renewed emphasis to its slogan, "A New Skyline Every Morning." Moisture during the winter months gave promise of being more abundant than during the drouth years and residents of the community turned hopeful eyes to the future.
