From Stephenson County, Ill., he moved to Nebraska, living in Omaha about two years; in 1862, he moved to Adams County, Neb.; he there engaged in farming, keeping a ranch and Government contracting. During the first year of his residence, he broke seventy-five acres and put in a crop, but received but little or no return, nor at any time was he successful in raising a crop. Land that was thought worthless at that time for farming has become, owing to climatic changes or other causes, very productive. He had to rely almost entirely upon contracting and his ranch. He and his family experienced much trouble with the Sioux Indians previous to and during the Sioux outbreak in 1864. In the fall of 1863, they first gave trouble, going to his ranch during his absence, and finding Mrs. M. alone, they forced their way into the house, helping themselves to all eatables and other supplies they could find, destroying what they did not want, and threatening her with death when she refused to let them into another room where most of the supplies were kept; before they were able to force themselves into that room, they were frightened off by the approach of a long freight train. In the following February, they again visited the ranch while Mr. M. was cutting wood on the Platte River, and demanded admittance, but were refused by Mrs. M., who sent after her husband by her son, who was hauling the wood across the river. Mr. M. went to the house, and, after putting most of their supplies in the bedroom, he admitted the Indians to the room kept for travelers, built a fire and furnished them with meat, bread and other eatables. With this they were not satisfied, but forced their way into the room where the family were, and, failing to find other supplies there, attempted to enter the bedroom, but were prevented by Mr. M., who stood at the door, though they threatened to scalp him, having their knives and tomahawks drawn; while they were thus parleying, Mrs. M. had started her oldest son to the nearest neighbor's, eight miles distant, for help, but they discovered her intentions and became very angry, threatening the whole family with death, and detaining the boy, though they were told he was only going out after the stock. After a time, they desisted in their attempt to enter the bedroom, but remained two days; they then left, and the next day killed a Mr. Smith, his two sons and a boy named Johnson, who were getting wood about four miles from Mr. M's ranch. A day or two after, a short wagon train arrived, and was at the ranch when the Indians returned, and, not noticing the wagons on the other side of the house, they entered and attempted to break into the family's room, but when they had almost broken in, they discovered that Mr. M had help, and took their departure. They continued to give trouble in this way until the general outbreak in August, 1864, when they made a simultaneous attack along a line of 300 miles. At that time, Mr. M. took his family to Ft. Kearney, and after two weeks, thinking the Indians had become more quiet, he returned to his ranch for his supplies; on the night of his arrival at his ranch, Indians attacked his nearest neighbor (George Martin), who with his two sons was hauling hay; they wounded him and killed one of the horses; he then got down from his load, and, taking the other horse, escaped to his house. In the meantime, the boys, who were some distance behind him, having an oxteam and a horse in the lead, had mounted the horse and started for a cornfield. The Indians, finding that they could not capture Mr. Martin, turned their attention to the boys, wounding both with arrows, and thinking they were dead, took the horse and rode off. Mr Martin, thinking the boys were killed, took the rest of the family and started for Maben's ranch, four miles distant; the Indians pursued them some distance, until they saw Mr. M. approaching, he having discovered the trouble while looking with a telescope from his ranch, and started to assist his friends and neighbors. They all stopped with a wagon train all night, and the next morning, a party, including Martin and Maben, went to secure the bodies of the boys--who they supposed had been killed--and obtain some supplies. On their arrival, they found the boys in bed in the house, they having been seriously, though not fatally, wounded; they had, after the departure of the Indians, pulled themselves apart (one arrow having wounded both), and crawled to the house; they there attended to their wounds as well as they could in the darkness, though they were unable to extract the arrows; these were afterward cut out with a pocket knife by Mr. Maben and others after the boys had been removed to the train. Mr. M. then sent his two boys, who were with him, to Nebraska City, with the wagon train. He then returned to the ranch and remained until his supplies were removed to Ft. Kearney. He then took his family and went to Glenwood, Iowa, where they lived during the next winter; he returned to Ft. Kearney, where he was pressed into Government service, hauling supplies to the soldiers in different places; in the spring of the next year, he took his family to Ft. McPherson, Lincoln Co., Neb., where he again ran a ranch. While there, he held the office of Justice of the Peace.
