NOT SHOWN. N.B.: Jacob Dawson had come to Fremont county from Pittsburg, PA, where he had been a member of the bar and had been connected with the office of the Pittsburg Gazette. His postoffice in Fremont county--in "Scott township" because at this date that township comprised all of township 70 that layed in ranges 40, 41, and 42--was noted in October 1851 by the government surveyor who was subdividing T70 R42 into sections. The surveyor noted "A cabin in the SE quarter of Section 21 is called Dawsonburg"....In March 1852, Dawson took over as the editor of the Kanesville "Frontier Guardian". In 1856, Dawson crossed the Missouri river and founded the town of Wyoming at the mouth of Weeping Water Creek. However, interests from Nebraska City bought up the city lots and then refused to improve on them, and in this way effectively strangled Wyoming. In 1863, Dawson again moved to Salt Creek, Nebraska where he platted the town of Lancaster. In 1867, Nebraska passed over Omaha and Nebraska City and chose Lancaster as the capitol. Nebraska changed the name to "Lincoln" and Jacob Dawson is said to have lived just long enough to see the foundations of Lincoln well laid.--W.F.

Surnames: Richards, Jackson, Yates, Ray, Cadle, Stephens, Story Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/1701 Message Board Post: THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. June 14, 1917. "Death of A.D. Richards".--Augustus D. Richards has gone to his long home and the mourners go about the streets. His years were almost three score and ten, and during all the years of his life his home was on the farm where he was born. His early history dates back to the real pioneer days, and if there is such a thing as pride of ancestory in Fremont county, Gus Richards is a man who could, without question, claim his share. He was the son of Milton and Jane Jackson Richards who settled here in 1846, in the days of the Morman hegira, a few months before Iowa became a state, three years before the organization of Fremont county and five years before the birth of Sidney. Milton Richard was one of the big men of his day and occupied a prominent place in the early history of the county. He was first clerk of the district court and issued the first marriage license when the county seat was at Austin. In 1851 his wife named the new county seat Sidney, in honor of her old home at Sidney, Ohio, and the town was platted and modeled on the lines of the Ohio town. The public and private life of Milton Richards, the old pioneer, according to the records of the historian and the testimony of those who knew him was of the purest and best. Augustus Dolphus Richards was born four miles south of Sidney, August 24, 1849, and died June 8, 1917, after a lingering illness of nearly two years. On December 31, 1871, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary E. Yates. To this union no children were given, but three orphan boys, the youngest five years of age were taken into their home and reared to manhood. One now lives in Kansas City, two in Oklahoma, none being able to get here to attend the funeral on account of the high waters. When 17 years of age Mr. Richards made a profession of faith in Christ and united with the Christian church at Sidney. He lived until the end in the faith of the gospel and died in hope of its glory. He was a man of honor, industrious, kind and sympathetic to those in distress about him and the world has been enriched by his life. Four sisters and one brother survive, namely, Milton Richards who lives in Nebraska; Mrs. James Ray, Ottawa, Kansas; Mrs. S. P. Cadle of Washington; Mrs. Frances Stephens and Mary Story who live near Sidney. He also leaves a wife and numerous other relatives to mourn his loss. The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon, June 10, at the Sidney Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. P. Thomas, who paid a noble tribute to the departed brother. The speaker said his acquaintance with Mr. Richards, although of short duration, had been an inspiration to him. He took the very appropriate and suggestive text from Acts 11:24: "He was a good man." Rev. Thomas told what it meant to be a good man. Some who are called good by men are not good in the sight of God. To be good man in the sight of God a man must be a believer in God and in Jesus Chirst, and not only a believer but also a man who obeys and follows God's commandments and teachings. Although, on account of the floods, the people east of the Nishnabotana could not be present, the church was completely filled by the relatives and old friends and neighbors. Interment was in the Sidney cemetery, the services at the tomb being conducted by the I.O.O. F., Mr. Richards having been a member of this organizaiton for 25 years.

Feb. 15, 1917. "THE MITCHELL - ROSS WEDDING CEREMONY. Events Scheduled for Weeks Taken place at the Home of the Bride Wednesday."--Leslie O. Ross and Miss Margaret Clare Mitchell were married Wednesday afternoon in Sidney at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Mitchell, parents of the bride. The Rev. Dr. E. Dickinson, assisted by Rev. M. W. Lorimer, read the marriage ceremony. The bride was escorted to the improvised altar by her father, and J..R. Ettleman attended Mr. Ross. The bride was dressed in a pretty gown of white silk crepe de chine, and carried a bouquest of roses and lilies. The groom wore the conventional black. While the bride, a young lady of charm and talent, insisted that the wedding be carried out with modest simplicity, the house was beautifully arrayed in cut flowers. An alter was placed between two large pedestals, attractively arranged and prettily adorned with sweet peas and smilax. The entire residence presented an atmosphere of pleasing comfort and creditable for an occaion of this nature. About 50 invited guest were present, many of whom were residents of other cities, some coming from Council Bluffs, Shenandoah, Farragut, Randolph, Anderson, and other neighboring towns. Immediately preceding the ceremony, Mrs. J. R. Ettleman, sister of the bride, sang "Just for You," which was very appropriate and well rendered. To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march the young couple with their attendants marched to the altar and were united in marriage. Following the ceremony, and after receiving congratulations from the guests, a dainty but bountiful two course luncheon was served to the entire party. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie O. Ross, immediately after the luncheon, left for Omaha and other places for a brief wedding trip. As they left the home of the bride, as is usually the case, the friends of the young couple showered rice upon them and decorated the car in which they were to travel with old shoes and cans filled with rice. Upon their return they will be at home to their friends at the Leslie O. Ross farm near Farragut. Miss MItchell was reared in Sidney, was educated in the local public schools, with a college course at Galesburg, Illiois, superadded. She has always been a charming favorite of her circle of many friends, and compliments to Mr. Ross are in order for winning so talented and accomplished young lady. Leslie Ross is also a native son of Fremont county, and among his warmest friends are numbered the best men and boys in this part of the state. He is an exceptionally bright young man, well posted on business lines, favored with honor among the business men and farmers of the county, and his friends are unconditional in predicting for him a future replete with usefulness and success for him and Mrs. Ross. The out of town guests were: Mrs. Edward Singleton, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ross, Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Ross, Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

Surnames: Reade, Tilman, Watson, Godwin, Murphy, Hiatt, Lesly, Day, Campbell Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/1694 Message Board Post: THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. Feb. 15, 1917. "GIRLS RUTHLESSDY BREAK BONDS OF SIDNEY SCHOOL; SUSPENDED TWO DAYS".--Ten young ladies, students in the Sidney high school, established what they decalre will be known in the future years as annual "hike" day, and hied themselves away Tuesday to Thurman wihtout even the formality of "Goodbye, Professor; we're off." Under the careful directions of their own dictation, the girls planned this event for days. Tuesday morning they assembled quietly at the high school and deftly marched forth into the world without destination. They secured cars at the Sidney garage and told the drivers to "follow their nose". In their travels, wandering about the county, they finally reached Thurman, where the entire aggregation of "hikers" were cordially welcomed into the schools and permitted to give their yells. The young ladies participating in this event are: Ruth Reade, Nelle Tilman, Leona Watson, Helen Godwin, Eva Murphy, Mabel Hiatt, Ruth Lesly, Minnie Tilman, Frances Day and Edna Campbell. As a result of their ruthless indiscrimination and open violation of the well regulated discipline of Sidney high school, each of these 10 girls were arraigned before the chief of the faculty Wednesday morning to hear the solemn reading of a decree confining them to the custody of their homes for a period of two days, or other such place as they desired to spend the time, excepting within the walls of the sanctuary of learning. Considerable speculation is going on among the girls. They hold no grievance against the faculty of Sidney high school, or anything like that, but they are wondering whether or not, in the school days of their good-natured teachers when they were young--or younger than at the present time--they ever violated a fixed rule and were forced to undergo such penalty as invoked in this case. Besides being forbidden admittance to school for two days, the girls were also given zero on the lessons missed. This is a case of "boys will be boys", only it does not happen to be boys. No real harm has come of the juvenile mischief, and fair minded men and women cannot find it in their hearts to condemn the young ladies for their conduct in the high spirit of fun which prevailed, yet the suspension from school, to maintain order and discipline, is wholly justified.
