0848 11/16/68 3 4 Nebraska City Now and 14 years ago. Where now stands Nebraska City, with its 8000 inhabitants, its 12 elegant churches, its magnificent court house, its substantial school-houses, its many large brick business houses, its huge machine shops, its elegant residences, fourteen years ago, stood the frontier post known as "Old Fort Kearney". To the south and west, timber groves here and there upon the prairie, planted by early settlers for shelter; the lands divided into 40, 50, 60, 80 and even 100 acre fields under cultivation of different crops, changes the appearance for the better. Steamboats which came once a week now are seen at all times and locomotive is at our very door. The mails which were received once in two weeks and carried on an Indian pony, are now received daily and brought into our City in omnibuses drawn by four and six horses. The post office which was kept in a cigar box or in the hat of the post master, is now an elegant building fitted for that purpose. Fourteen years ago, instead of the city, we had a log fort and one or two log cabins or huts with a population of perhaps 200 souls. Our best customers were the Otoe Indians, who paid for their flour, bacon, ponies, blankets, etc. in hard gold. A vast unbroken prairie, the home of the thieving Otoes, the bear, wolf, deer, etc. The old settlers with us today are, the two Mortons, Lorton, Pierce, Siemers, Campbell, McMechans, North, Craig, Kay, Cowles, Hursts, Hails, Mason, Sroat, Martin, Welsh, Jackson, Fowlkes, Mrs. Mahan, Mrs. Pearman, Mrs. R. Miller, Mrs. Waters, Mrs. Gerhardt, and perhaps ten or twelve more.
