JOHN G. WILLIS, commission merchant, Omaha, Neb., and one of the early settlers of Nebraska and Wyoming, was born in Charlton, Saratoga Co., N. Y., October 14, 1840. When fifteen years of age he removed with his father and mother to their Western farm home in Kane County, Ill., near Batavia. Living there until the War of the Rebellion, when he offered his services to his country, at the first shot of Fort Sumter. He enlisted with the New York Zouaves, to fill the first call of President Lincoln, but was taken sick in camp at Springfield, Ill., and could not accompany his regiment to the awful battle of Bull Run. He afterward enlisted in the Eighth Illinois Cavalry, and was transferred to the Seventeenth Illinois Cavalry, Col. Beveridge, late Governor of Illinois, commanding regiment, as First or Orderly Sergeant of Company K. Served his country in that regiment until the close of the war and was honorably mustered out of the service an officer of Company K, on December 22, 1865. Returned to Kane County, Ill., where he again turned his attention to farming until 1866, when he started from Omaha with a freighting team of mules for the purpose of freighting between Omaha and Denver. But the iron horse got away with the mules in about a year. He entered Cheyenne with his train in July, 1867, being about the first except the government outfits. He built the first store in Cheyenne and started in general merchandising. But burned up and bursted up in the fire of 1869, and being unable to get any insurance in those new towns, lost everything. His stock invoiced a few weeks before the fire $22,000. After the fire about $800. With money and courage gone, he started for Iowa with his family to settle on a homestead, and remained there until 1873, when the illness of his brother, Richard H. Willis, called him to Omaha to attend to his brother's affairs. He had a great deal to contend with even in his new Iowa home. It was then a new and unsettled country, on the then supposed line of the St. Paul Railroad, with no roads, no bridges, no neighbors. Had you been there you would have seen a young, busted and disgusted merchant, starting all alone from Sioux City, driving two teams of oxen with a load of lumber, going up Perry Creek, determined to build a home for his family, where he could at least feel sure of land enough to live on. But, alas, that place was not free from trouble, for if they did not burn up they blew away. For having just completed a little house there came a hurricane which blew their house all over the prairie, breaking everything in it, and whatever saved the family he does not know, unless it is that guardian angel which must surely be looking after them. As Mr. Willis says, he could relate more hairbreadth escapes than he has time to tell, and after all those troubles he says his family left that prairie home with regret, and it affords him more pleasure than a little to visit that old farm, where there are acres of fruit and forest trees, set by his own hand. Mr. Willis was married to Cecelia J. Beck, of Plattsmouth, Neb., a graduate of Tabor College, Iowa. She was born in Muscatine, Iowa, in 1850. They had six children, Robert H., George B., Cecelia Mary, William H., Gertrude Eliza, and Blanche Ida. George B. died November 21, 1872, Gertrude Eliza, September 8, 1880, both infants. Mr. Willis is a member of Covert Lodge, A., F. & A. M. No. 11, Omaha, Mount Cavalry Commandery No. 1, and one of the charter members of Mount Moriah Lodge of Perfection, also Knight Rose Croix 18° Semper Fidelis Chapter, and Charter member and Treasurer. Gustavus Stevenson, Wise Master. Mr. Willis says it is his intention to spend the balance of his days at Omaha, in his home, Idle Wild Place, where he has lived for the past eight years, and has fitted it up with every convenience, making it one of the most pleasant and home-like residences in the city.

R. A. WILLIS, roadmaster C., St. P., M. & O. R. R. Was born in Kenosha County, Wis., January 4, 1842. He enlisted in Fillmore County, Minn., in 1862, in Company D, Eighth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, and served until mustered out in 1865, holding at the close of the war a commission as Lieutenant in the regiment. His first railroad experience was in 1866, on the C., M. & St. P. R. R., where he remained a short time, then a few months with the Southern Minnesota Railroad, and in the spring of 1867, became connected with the St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad, now one of the branches of the C., St. P., M. & O. R. R., has since continued in the service of the company in various positions on different divisions. Came to Omaha, Neb., June, 1881, and took present position.

[Portrait of R. H. Willis]

RICHARD H. WILLIS, deceased, was born in Charlton, Saratoga Co., N. Y., in 1837. At eighteen years of age he started to learn the carriage trade with Mr. Banker, of Jonesville, same county and State, by whom he was thought a great deal of, having received many tokens of regard from him. At twenty-two years of age he came west to Batavia, Kane Co., Ill., with his parents, where he worked a while on the farm. He then went to work at his trade in Batavia, but feeling that he could do better at something else, and being naturally a very enterprising and ambitious young man, he launched out at merchandising, at Urbana, Ill., and being a very generous, courteous, energetic and conscientious and honest man (the qualifications necessary to make a good business many), he was quite successful, and sought a larger city for business, and went to Joliet, Ill., where he was fully as successful, and at this place he became acquainted with his wife Mira Towner, daughter of William Towner, one of the leading citizens of Joliet. Shortly after his marriage he came to Omaha, leaving his wife with her father until he could establish himself here, having met with reverses in business through speculations on the Chicago Board of Trade. He arrived in Omaha with $600, in 1864, and again started in the general merchandise business, and having left a clean record at all previous places, his credit was good, and together with his great natural abilities, and practical experience he soon became one of Omaha's prominent men and merchants. In 1868 he erected one of the finest store buildings in the city at that time, situated on Fourteenth street, between Farnam and Douglas streets, on the West Side. He was very proud of his building, but his pride was soon to be blasted for ever. In January, 1868, his business called him on a trip West, as much as he disliked leaving his estimable young wife. However, leaving her in the best of health he started for Cheyenne, where his brother John G. Willis was engaged in general merchandising, and they together started to visit Edward Creighton and Thomas Maloy's railroad camp, both being very thoroughly acquainted with these gentlemen, especially with Mr. Maloy. But on their return to Cheyenne, Mr. Willis received a telegram that his wife was seriously ill, and here is the turning point in his heretofore happy life. He started on the first train for Omaha, and he related to the writer afterwards "I felt as if that train did not go a mile an hour, so anxious was I to get to the bedside of my sick wife." and say he "when I received the second dispatch, 'Mrs. Willis is worse,' how I felt, and the third dispatch, 'could I only fly.' Arriving in Omaha I jumped from the train while it was running at nearly full speed, and to my house, only to find my wife had died but five minutes before I arrived." Mr. Jonas Gise afterwards told the writer that he was at Mr. Willis' house when he came in, and the appearance of his friends seemed to tell him the sad tale. Mr. Willis fell lifeless to the floor, and says Mr. Gise and Dr. McClelland, "Dick Willis (as he was familiarly called) never was the same man," and it is my earnest conviction that he never recovered from the shock, for when he came to my farm he would say "life has lost its charms for me." Business did not seem to interest him any more. He traveled for a year, getting more and more indifferent, and finally in 1872 he gave up and became a hopeless monomaniac. He went to Hot Springs, Arkansas, but found no relief, from there to St. Louis, and consulted with Dr. Moore, the most noted physician in the city, at that time. The doctor was puzzled and called a consultation of forty physicians, who came to the conclusion that he had symptoms of softening of the brain. After staying there four or five weeks, Dr. Moore concluded he could do nothing for him and advised him to go to Dr. William H. Hammond of New York, and he started for New York. Dr. Hammond examined him and said he could cure him in ten days, as there was nothing the matter bur nervousness. Mr. Willis remained there two or three weeks and said he was getting worse, and started for Charlton, Saratoga Co., N. Y., his childhood home, to his parents. Shortly after his friends went with him to Utica and the physician at the asylum said he could see nothing the matter with him either mentally or physically, except hypochondria, and advised him to seek amusements. He went back to Charlton, and nothing could persuade him to go to Omaha. His friends at Omaha wrote him. Dr. McClelland kindly offered to go after him. His parents tried to persuade him, his brother wrote him, but his answer was no, I can not be any company for my friends, life has lost its charms. I shall never leave Charlton alive. He wrote his brother John G. Willis, at his farm and said John, if you have any wish for my business, go to Omaha and take it. He would say "I will go to Mira (his wife) soon." He lingered along about two years, sometimes remaining in his room months at a time quite social, glad to see his relatives, but with no desire to see his old friends. About April 15, 1874, his brother John received a telegram from him stating that his mother was dangerously ill, come on first train. On arriving there he found his mother better and Richard looking quite well, except slightly emaciated, and after the usual greeting he says "John, mother is all right but I will die in ten days, his brother laughed at the idea, and asked him if he intended to kill himself. He answered emphatically, "No sir, I never will commit that sin, but I can not live this way over ten days." John remained a few days and Richard became worse, actually refusing to take his two eggs he had been accustomed to take for months past and it began to look as if he was surely trying to fulfill his word to die in ten days, knowing that John should be with his family who were also sick in Omaha. It was thought best for him to keep out of sight and see if he would not change his mind, and take to eating. But no, all the persuasion they could command would not induce him to eat, he said, he had no appetite, and could not relish anything. He kept getting worse and finally when he lay on his death bed, and as all supposed unconscious, John got his wife's picture, opened it and held it up before him to see if he would recognize it, knowing well that would attract his attention if anything could. He stared a moment, reached out his hand, took the picture and died a few moments after. He died on the 6th day of May, 1874, in the house he was born in, and at his request was laid by the side of his dear wife, at Joliet, Ill., where hosts of kind and sympathizing friends met the remains and escorted them to their last resting place. Thus ended the short earthly career of Richard H. Willis, a noble man and one of the early founders of Omaha. Always ready to give generously to all public enterprises and charitable purposes.

Notation.-The writer being with Mr. Willis during a great part of the first year of his illness, and all the time for fifteen or twenty days and nights at the last, writes only the condensed facts. He does not think he ate anything to speak of during that fifteen days. Seemed perfectly sane on all subjects, except as to his illness, which seemed to me, as well as to the physicians, all imagination. His memory was surprisingly good, as to all his business transactions, even the smallest things which occurred years previous, and it would seem to me that if he would accept nourishment, and could have been persuaded to take exercise and amusement, he would have lived a number of years. He occupied his time by reading and walking to and fro in his room, talking to his wife's portrait as if she were a living person and telling her he would be with her in a few days, and his people tried to prevail on him to allow his body to be laid in the old family burial ground. But nothing would induce him to consider it for a moment as his only consolation was to be laid by the side of his wife in Joliet, Ill., and for that reason, perhaps, more than any other, did he send for his brother John, feeling sure that he would see his last request carried out. Even requesting him to go and get his coffin so that he could see if it suited him, and went so far as to take off his underclothes and get his burial garments all ready, and really felt hard toward him for not getting the coffin for him. He could not be persuaded to take any kind of stimulant during all the years of his illness, though the physicians often recommended it.
