I have just gotten this photo of Simon P. BENADOM who was an early pioneer to Nebraska Territory and was well-known in Lincoln, NE. He was a personal friend of then-Governor David Butler. Simon's grandson, LeRoy Benadom Smith married my grandaunt Viola Harrison. I was visited today by the granddaughter of Lee's sister Beulah. Phyllis Jean (nee Francies) Bryant is a direct descendant of Simon and she and I share the granduncle and aunt by marriage. The day was spent visiting and scanning all the old photos that she brought with her. I will be adding some old photos to the Lancaster County pages soon. I wanted to share a sneak peek at the photo of Simon P. Benadom with horse and buggy on 27th Street in Lincoln when it was all rural! This photo is circa 1870.
