 FORETHOUGHT
This Book of Nebraska Pioneer Reminiscences is issued by the
Daughters of the American Revolution of Nebraska, and dedicated to
the daring, courageous, and intrepid men and women—the advance
guard of our progress—who, carrying the torch of civilization, had a
vision of the possibilities which now have become realities.
To those who answered the call of the unknown we owe the duty of
preserving the record of their adventures upon the vast prairies of
"Nebraska the Mother of States."

"In her horizons, limitless and vast

Her plains that storm the senses like the sea."

Reminiscence, recollection, personal experience—simple, true stories

—this is the foundation of History.
Rapidly the pioneer story-tellers are passing beyond recall, and the
real story of the beginning of our great commonwealth must be told
now.
The memories of those pioneers, of their deeds of self-sacrifice and
devotion, of their ideals which are our inheritance, will inculcate
patriotism in the children of the future; for they should realize the
courage that subdued the wilderness. And "lest we forget," the
heritage of this past is a sacred trust to the Daughters of the
American Revolution of Nebraska.
The invaluable assistance of the Nebraska State Historical Society,
and the members of this Book Committee, Mrs. C. S. Paine and Mrs.
D. S. Dalby, is most gratefully acknowledged.

SOME FIRST THINGS IN THE HISTORY OF
ADAMS COUNTY
By George F. Work

Adams county is named for the first time, in an act of the territorial
legislature approved February 16, 1867, when the south bank of the
Platte river was made its northern boundary. There were no settlers
here at that time although several persons who are mentioned later
herein had established trapping camps within what are now its
boundaries. In 1871 it was declared a county by executive
proclamation and its present limits defined as, in short, consisting of
government ranges, 9, 10, 11, and 12 west of the sixth principal
meridian, and townships 5, 6, 7, and 8, north of the base line, which
corresponds with the south line of the state.
Mortimer N. Kress, familiarly known to the early settlers as "Wild
Bill," Marion Jerome Fouts, also known as "California Joe," and
James Bainter had made hunting and trapping camps all the way
along the Little Blue river, prior to this time. This stream flows
through the south part of the county and has its source just west of
its western boundary in Kearney county. James Bainter filed on a
tract just across its eastern line in Clay county as his homestead,
and so disappears in the history of Adams county. Mortimer N. Kress
is still living and now has his home in Hastings, a hale, hearty man
of seventy-five years and respected by all. Marion J. Fouts, about
seventy years of age, still lives on the homestead he selected in that
early day and is a respected, prominent man in that locality.
Gordon H. Edgerton, now a resident and prominent business man of
Hastings, when a young man, in 1866, was engaged in freighting
across the plains, over the Oregon trail that entered the county
where the Little Blue crosses its eastern boundary and continued in
a northwesterly direction, leaving its western line a few miles west
and a little north of where Kenesaw now stands, and so is familiar
with its early history. There has already been some who have
questioned the authenticity of the story of an Indian massacre
having taken place where this trail crosses Thirty-two Mile creek, so
named because it was at this point about thirty-two miles east of
Fort Kearny. This massacre took place about the year 1867, and Mr.
Edgerton says that it was universally believed at the time he was
passing back and forth along this trail. He distinctly remembers an
old threshing machine that stood at that place for a long time and
that was left there by some of the members of the party that were
killed. The writer of this sketch who came to the county in 1874, was
shown a mound at this place, near the bank of the creek, which he
was told was the heaped up mound of the grave where the victims
were buried, and the story was not questioned so far as he ever
heard until recent years. Certainly those who lived near the locality
at that early day did not question it. This massacre took place very
near the locality where Captain Fremont encamped, the night of
June 25, 1842, as related in the history of his expedition and was
about five or six miles south and a little west of Hastings. I well
remember the appearance of this trail. It consisted of a number of
deeply cut wagon tracks, nearly parallel with each other, but which
would converge to one track where the surface was difficult or
where there was a crossing to be made over a rough place or
stream. The constant tramping of the teams would pulverize the soil
and the high winds would blow out the dust, or if on sloping ground,
the water from heavy rains would wash it out until the track became
so deep that a new one would be followed because the axles of the
wagons would drag on the ground. It was on this trail a few miles
west of what is now the site of Kenesaw, that a lone grave was
discovered by the first settlers in the country, and a story is told of
how it came to be there. About midway from where the trail leaves
the Little Blue to the military post at Fort Kearny on the Platte river a
man with a vision of many dollars to be made from the people going
west to the gold-fields over this trail, dug a well about one hundred
feet deep for the purpose of selling water to the travelers and
freighters. Some time later he was killed by the Indians and the well
was poisoned by them. A man by the name of Haile camped here a
few days later and he and his wife used the water for cooking and
drinking. Both were taken sick and the wife died, but he recovered.
He took the boards of his wagon box and made her a coffin and
buried her near the trail. Some time afterwards he returned and
erected a headstone over her grave which was a few years since still
standing and perhaps is to this day, the monument of a true man to
his love for his wife and to her memory.
The first homestead was taken in the county by Francis M. Luey,
March 5, 1870, though there were others taken the same day. The
facts as I get them direct from Mr. Kress are that he took his team
and wagon, and he and three other men went to Beatrice, where the
government land office was located, to make their entries. When
they arrived at the office, with his characteristic generosity he said:
"Boys, step up and take your choice; any of it is good enough for
me." Luey was the first to make his entry, and he was followed by
the other three. Francis M. Luey took the southwest quarter of
section twelve; Mortimer N. Kress selected the northeast quarter of
section thirteen; Marion Jerome Fouts, the southeast quarter of
eleven; and the fourth person, John Smith, filed on the southwest
quarter of eleven, all in township five north and range eleven west
of the sixth principal meridian. Smith relinquished his claim later and
never made final proof, so his name does not appear on the records
of the county as having made this entry. The others settled and
made improvements on their lands. Mortimer N. Kress built a sod
house that spring, and later in the summer, a hewed log house, and
these were the first buildings in the county. So Kress and Fouts, two
old comrades and trappers, settled down together, and are still
citizens of the county. Other settlers rapidly began to make entry in
the neighborhood, and soon there were enough to be called
together in the first religious service. The first sermon was preached
in Mr. Kress' hewed log house by Rev. J. W. Warwick in the fall of
1871.
