General Notes: JAMES C. JORDAN
To continue the record of the location of the Capital at Des Moines, mention must be made of James C. Jordan, or "Uncle Jimmy," as everybody called him, one of the most prominent among the early settlers, and closely identified with the growth and prosperity of the county and town.
He came in the early Fall of 1846, and selected a location about six miles west of The Fort, in Des Moines Township, which then embraced what are now the townships of Saylor, Valley, Bloomfield, Webster, Lee, Grant, Allen, Four Mile, Delaware, part of Clay, and The Fort. His claim was between 'Coon River and Walnut Creek'. The first night, he camped under two large Oak trees, where he later erected a log cabin. It was an ideal spot for a person of rural taste and habit. His cabin was large, and furnished with "battened" doors, and window frames made from lumber purchased from Parmelee's mill, near Carlisle. His near neighbors were in Dallas County. Later, he replaced the cabin with an elegant dwelling, where, as in the cabin, there was ever a broad hospitality, a hearty welcome to rich and poor, white or black. His latchstring was always out, and many a weary or storm-beaten traveler found cheerful welcome and comfort therein, for "Uncle Jimmy" was a friend to all mankind. He passed through all the vicissitudes of pioneer life in those days. Sometimes the empty flour or meal box necessitated a long trip to Oskaloosa to get a supply. For meat, the surrounding timberland provided deer, squirrels and coons - the skins of which were legal tender at the stores for groceries and dry goods, and they were not an insignificant source of revenue, either. The boys used to tell this of one of "Uncle Jimmy's" raids on coons. One day, he, with others, had driven some coons into a large hollow tree. A fellow would reach in, grab a coon by the tail, and throw it out for his comrades to quiet with a club. Finally, "Uncle Jimmy" made a grab, but the coon had turned, and he got hold of the wrong end, which laid him up a week for repairs.
The Winter of 1847 was very severe, and wolves were a source of much trouble to settlers on bottom lands along the streams. "Uncle Jimmy" walked to The Fort nearly every day to make and build a rail fence around Hoxie's big cornfield, which lay along what is now Grand Avenue and west of Twelfth Street. He was the architect and builder of what was the most aristocratic residence at The Fort. It was at the corner of Twelfth and Walnut streets, and at an acute angle to the street, there being no platted streets then west of Seventh Street. It was built of hewn logs, covered with clapboards; had a lean-to on the west side and big brick chimney. It was surrounded by several large trees. There being but two other houses visible from it one, Doctor Grimmel's, where Saint Ambrose Catholic Church now stands, the other where Cownie's Glove Factory is it was a conspicuous landmark for many years. In 1849, it was sold to S. G. Keene, a dry goods merchant, and was the center for social functions and frolics. Mrs. Keene being fond of amusements and very popular with the young people. Some of the "old girls" tell of lively times had there things said and done which would not comport with present society exactness. The old house was torn down in 1876.
In 1849, "Uncle Jimmy" built, at or near Valley Junction, the first schoolhouse in what is now Walnut Township. The work was done by Samuel Hiner, a brother of "Jack" Hiner, who so mysteriously disappeared in 1869. It was of logs, and cost him sixty-nine dollars. He was a firm believer in the school and church as promoters of civilization and good government, and his labor and purse were freely given to each.
In 1851, the flood year, Walnut Creek, like all other streams, was unprecedently swollen. Bridges were carried away, fording was impossible. Flour and meal got short. To go to mill, the grist was placed on the back of a horse, which swam across. The owner could wade or swim.
In 1854, Jordan was nominated for State Senator, to succeed Doctor Hull. He at first resisted the nomination, but finally yielded on the earnest request of Whigs, and Free Soil Democrats the Kansas-Nebraska issue being before the people. The Legislature had to elect a United States Senator, which added great interest to the contest, as the Whigs were getting numerous enough to be counted upon. Jordan's opponent was Theophilus Bryan, of Guthrie County. The Democratic candidate for United States Senator was Augustus Caesar Dodge, of Burlington. The congressional district embraced all the state south and west of the north line of Marshall County. At the election, on the face of the returns, Bryan had a majority. He was given the commission, took his seat, and voted for Dodge for United States Senator. The Whigs soon after discovered that down in Jasper County, just before election, there had been employed on streets and roads a large number of aliens, whose names had got on the poll books. A contest was made, the votes re- counted, and Bryan was eighty-five votes short. He was ousted, and because of some irregularity in the vote for Dodge, it was also set aside. Jordan was seated, and voted for James Harlan, who was elected Senator.
On taking his seat, Jordan at once resumed the work of his predecessor, Doctor Hull. He introduced the second bill to remove the Capital to Fort Des Moines. Bills which had been before the Legislature in 1846 and 1848, were to remove the Capital to a more central point in the state, the location to be selected by a special commission, a proviso inserted to make it possible to prevent it coming to Fort Des Moines. The first commission selected were all Quakers. They did their work admirably. They chose a spot down in Jasper County, on an open prairie, punctured with gopher holes and inhabited with prairie dogs, six miles from the Des Moines River, and several miles from a settler's cabin, laid out the future Capital, sold corner lots, put the money in their pockets, and went home. Their report to the next Legislature of their doings was so permeated with evidence that they had been defiled by the "world, the flesh and the devil," the whole business was repudiated, the money paid for corner lots returned to the purchasers, and the gophers and little dogs left undisturbed.
When the Quakers' report was submitted, McFarland, who subsequently became the notorious Judge, moved that the report be referred to a special committee to report how much of the site selected was under water and how much had been burned up.
Jordan's bill was specific; it designated Fort Des Moines as the objective point. Immediately it was loaded with amendments and dilatory motions. Naturally, Iowa City had cause for objection, as it robbed her of considerable prestige as the Seat of Government. Marshalltown, Newton, Oskaloosa, and other towns were ambitious for the prize, but Jordan, with his genial, conservative ways, and the aid of his colleagues in the Lower House, and active lobbies from The Fort, carried the bill through, the Seat of Government to be located by a commission, within two miles of the junction of the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. To placate Iowa City, she was given the State House, then uncompleted, for a State University.
In 1856, he was reelected as a Free Soiler. When the Kansas-Nebraska contest and the Fugitive Slave Law were exciting the people, and John Brown's agents were shipping Negroes to Canada over the Underground Railroad, there were several stations in Polk County. The tricks and devices practiced to escape the vigilance of slave-hunters, close on their track, were numerous and often ludicrous, for there was a strong pro-slavery sentiment in the county, the Statesman frequently giving voice to it in vigorous editorials, denouncing the opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law, with special anathemas against the Methodists. In fact, Slavery existed here at one time. Joseph Smart, the Indian Interpreter at the Trading Post, went to Missouri, bought two Negro women, brought them here, and kept them for some time as servants. When he got though with them, he took them South and sold them. Jordan was born and raised in a slave state, yet always abhorred slaveholding. He was a staunch Methodist, and during the John Brown raid, his home was always open to the fugitive. At one time, Brown, with twenty-four Negroes, were quartered there, and it required good engineering to get them disposed of, for the stations were at many angles. There was one with Reverend Demas Robinson, a pioneer Baptist preacher, in Four Mile Township; another at Grinnell, and at other places. Frequently, to elude the hunters, the negroes would have to be returned to stations passed, and routed another way.
In 1858, when the Des Moines branch of the State Bank was organized, the first authorized by law to issue bank-notes, Jordan was a stockholder and elected one of the Directors, and thereby became largely interested in and identified with town affairs in fact, he was always considered a part of the city. He was several times elected a member of the county Board of Supervisors, and would have been continued ad infinitum, but he got tired of it.
In 1846, Congress granted to the State of Iowa the alternate sections of land on each side of Des Moines River, in an area of five miles wide, for the purpose of improving the navigation of the river from the Mississippi to Raccoon Forks. The land was to be sold at the highest market price. In 1847, the State organized a Board of Public Works, the Slack Water Navigation Company came into being; dams were partially constructed at Bentonsport, Croton, and Keosauqua; stone was quarried all along the river for several years, but the only evidence of progress was the regularity with which the public lands were demanded and turned over to the companies improving the river.
In 1854, the State, through its functionaries, the Board of Public Works, having disposed of nearly all the land embraced in the grant below the "Forks," and incurred a debt of seventy thousand dollars, sold out to Bangs & Company, of New York, who agreed to assume the debt, take the land grant, and complete the river improvements; but in 1854, they abandoned the work, secured a franchise as the Keokuk, Fort Des Moines and Minnesota Railway Company, and started the building of the road, reaching Eddyville in 1861, where it practically stopped for want of funds. In 1862, the Legislature granted the Des Moines Valley Railroad Company what little of the grant lands were left, and had not been sequestrated or stolen outright, to complete the road to Des Moines. This gave new impetus to the railroad question, which was agitating the whole country, and Des Moines especially. Immediately there was a rumor that a strong effort was being made to divert the road away from Des Moines, by an offer of big bonuses. The company was short of funds, and needed the money. Calvin Leighton, who was interested in the road, and friendly to Des Moines, quietly told Judge Casady, Jordan, and others that a fund of seventy thousand dollars would secure the completion of the road to Des Moines. Jordan, who had increased his land area to eighteen hundred acres, and was raising, buying and shipping cattle by the hundreds, at once offered to be one of two hundred to raise one hundred thousand dollars. It was done; it cost him over one thousand dollars. So pleased was Keokuk, she got the subscribers to the fund there, gave them a grand ovation, an excursion down the Mississippi, and jollied them extravagantly. The road was completed, the first passenger train entered Des Moines on August Twenty- ninth, 1866. It stopped on the East Side, there being no bridge over the river, and was greeted with a large crowd of people, who had waited long and patiently for the coming of the first railway.
"Uncle Jimmy" was an ardent Methodist. His cabin and his later elegant mansion were the Mecca of circuit riders and preachers. They liked his yellow-legged chickens and sumptuous table spread, for he was a good provider.
All his life, he was an earnest church worker and liberal supporter of churches, colleges, schools and the ministry. Under his cabin roof, religious services were first held in Walnut Township. In 1862, he organized a chapel and built a church, which was called the "Jordan." After a few years, its location was changed, when he and his wife joined the First Methodist Church, in the city, and practically became citizens of the town.
In 1862, during the Civil War, a rumor came that a band of Missouri bush-whackers were on their way to loot Des Moines, and there was great excitement. The banks at once sought a refuge for their funds. Those of the State Bank were removed to "Uncle Jimmy's" place, where he cached them beyond the probability of seizure. The marauders, however, ran up against some of Uncle Sam's "blue-coats" and didn't get here.
In 1865, the maintenance of the indigent, deserving poor people of the county had become a serious question. Hitherto, their care and support had been farmed out among divers persons, and the expenses were frequently exorbitant. A more economical system was demanded by the taxpayers. The County Supervisors, therefore, decided to purchase a Poor Farm, and Jordan, Doctor Brooks, and D. C. Marts were elected to purchase one hundred and twenty acres, and the same is a part of the present provision made for the care of the poor and incurable insane persons of the county.
In 1868, he joined the Brotherhood of Early Settlers, and when the Old Settlers' Association was organized, Jordan was elected one of the Vice- Presidents, and was always an active member, and present at all its social functions.
In 1879, he was elected a member of the Lower House of the Eighteenth General Assembly, which inaugurated the fight against oleomargarine, for pure butter, established the State Pharmacy Commission, State Board of Health, and Coal Mine Inspection, in which he took an active and helpful part.
Having accumulated abundant wealth, Jordan, during his later life, disposed of much of his land, lived on Easy Street, dividing his time with the town and his rural home, until he went to his Eternal Home.

In 1856, he was reelected as a Free Soiler. When the Kansas-Nebraska contest and the Fugitive Slave Law were exciting the people, and John Brown's agents were shipping Negroes to Canada over the Underground Railroad, there were several stations in Polk County. The tricks and devices practiced to escape the vigilence of slave-hunters, close on their tracks, were numerous and often ludicrous, for there was a strong pro-slavery sentiment in the county, the Statesman frequently giving voice to it in vigorous editorials, denouncing the opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law, with special anathemas against the Methodists. In fact, Slavery existed here at one time. Joseph Smart, the Indian Interpreter at the Trading Post, went to Missouri, bought two Negro women, brought them here, and kept them for some time as servants. When he got through with them, he took them South and sold them. Jordan was born and raised in a slave state, yet always abhorred slave-holding. He was a staunch Methodist, and during the John Brown raid, his home was always open to the fugitive. At one time, Brown, with twenty-four Negroes, were quartered there, and it required good engineering to get them disposed of, for the stations were at many angles. There was one with Reverend Demas Robinson, a pioneer Baptist preacher, in Four Mile Township; another at Grinnell, and at other places. Frequently, to elude the hunters, the Negroes would have to be returned to stations passed, and routed another way.
In 1858, when the Des Moines branch of the State Bank was organized, the first authorized by law to issue bank-notes, Jordan was a stockholder and elected one of the Directors, and thereby became largely interested in and identified with town affairs--in fact, he was always considered a part of the city. He was several times elected a member of the county Board of Supervisors, and would have been continued ad infinitum, but he got tired of it.
In 1846, Congress granted to the State of Iowa the alternate sections of land on each side of Des Moines River, in an area of five miles wide, for the purpose of improving the navigation of the river from the Mississippi to Raccoon Forks. The land was to be sold at the highest market price. In 1847, the State organized a Board of Public Works, the Slack Water Navigation Company came into being; dams were partially constructed at Bentonsport, Croton, and Keosauqua; stone was quarried all along the river for several years, but the only evidence of progress was the regularity with which the public lands were demanded and turned over to the companies improving the river.
In 1854, the State, through its functionaries, the Board of Public Works, having disposed of nearly all the land embraced in the grant below the "Forks," and incurred a debt of seventy thousand dollars, sold out to Bangs & Company, of New York, who agreed to assume the debt, take the land grant, and complete the river improvements; but in 1854, they abandoned the work, secured a franchise as the Keokuk, Fort Des Moines and Minnesota Railway Company, and started the building of the road, reaching Eddyville in 1861, where it practically stopped for want of funds. In 1862, the Legislature granted the Des Moines Railroad Company what little of the grant land were left, and had not been sequestrated or stolen outright, to complete the road to Des Moines. This gave new impetus to the railroad question, which was agitating the whole country, and Des Moines especially. Immediately, there was a rumor that a strong effort was being made to divert the road away from Des Moines, by an offer of big bonuses. The company was short of funds, and needed the money. Calvin Leighton, who was interested in the road, and friendly to Des Moines, quietly told Judge Casady, Jordan, and others that a fund of seventy thousand dollars would secure the completion of the road to Des Moines. Jordan, who had increased his land are to eighteen
hundred acres, and was raising, buying and shipping cattle by the hundreds, at once offered to be one of two hundred to raise one hundred thousand dollars. It was done; it cost him over one thousand dollars. So pleased was Keokuk, she got the subscribers to the fund there, gave them a grand ovation, an excursion down the Mississippi, and jollied them extravagantly. The road was completed, the first passenger train entered Des Moines on August Twenty-ninth, 1866. It stopped on the East Side, there being no bridge over the river, and was greeted with a large crowd of people, who had waited long and patiently for the coming of the first railway.
"Uncle Jimmy" was an ardent Methodist. His cabin and his later elegant mansion were the Mecca of circuit-riders and preachers. They liked his yellow-legged chickens and sumptuous table spread, for he was a good provider.
All his life, he was an earnest church worker and liberal supporter of churches, colleges, schools and the ministry. Under his cabin roof, religious services were first held in Walnut Township. In 1862, he organized a chapel and built a church, which was called the "Jordan." After a few years, its location was changed, when he and his wife joined the First Methodist Church, in the city, and practically became citizens of the town.
In 1862, during the Civil War, a rumor came that a band of Missouri bush-whackers were on their way to loot Des Moines, and there was great excitement. The banks at once sought a refuge for their funds. Those of the State Bank were removed to "Uncle Jimmy's" place, where he cached them beyond the probability of seizure. The marauders, however, ran up against some of Uncle Sam's "blue-coats" and didn't get here.
In 1865, the maintenance of the indigent, deserving poor people of the county had become a serious question. Hitherto, their care and support had been farmed out among divers persons, and the expenses were frequently exorbitant. A more economical system was demanded by the taxpayers. The County Supervisors, therefore, decided to purchase a Poor Farm, and Jordan, Doctor Books, and D. C Marts were elected to purchase one hundred and twenty acres, and the same is a part of the present provision made for the care of the poor and incurable insane persons of the county.
In 1868, he joined the Brotherhood of Early Settlers, and when the Old Settlers' Association was organized, Jordan was elected one of the Vice-Presidents, and was always an active member, and present at all its social functions.
In 1879, he was elected a member of the Lower House of the Eighteenth General Assembly, which inaugurated the fight against oleomargarine, for butter, established the State Pharmacy Commission, State Board of Health, and Coal Mine Inspection, in which he took and active and helpful part.
Having accumulated abundant wealth, Jordan, during his later life, disposed of much of his land, lived on Easy Street, dividing his time with the town and his rural home, until he went to his Eternal Home.

Early days in Nebraska
Written by F.M.Young Jr June 1904

"A STORY OF PIONEERS"

March 4, 1855, William Young and family crossed the Missouri river in a flat boat, landing at Kensosha, Nebraska. The town at that time contained one log building used as a store, occupied by a man named White; besides this there was a small shanty made of rough boards and occupied by George Winters and family, who kindly gave us shelter for the night. Although somewhat crowded, we were comfortable March 5 the settlers near here who were our neighbors in Iowa came to help us move to our claim about six miles northwest of Kenosha, where my father had located in November, 1854. Those settlers who came to help us move lived from two to three miles northwest of Kenosha; they were Rev. Abraham Towner and three sons, Harvey McGowan , William and Peter Ashley. When the wagons were loaded we took our way across the prairie. Myself, then a lad of fourteen years, and Peter Ashley and Mr. Towner's boys of my age drove the cattle and sheep. We passed but one house on our way, a hewed log house south of Rock Creek occupied by William Davis and family. As we came in sight of the house the family all came out, waving their hats and handkerchiefs and hallooed "hurrah for Nebraska." About two p.m . we arrived at our future home. Having no house built we unloaded in the woods and stretched a tent and cooked and ate dinner, after which our friends, with hearty handshakes and man y good wishes for our welfare and prosperity, departed for their homes. From that time on the longest period my father was away from that place at one time until he died April 25, 1899 , was fourteen days. Part of his original claim at that time is my home now, June 1904. As soon as possible we went to cutting logs and soon had enough cut to build a small house, but did not get it ready to move into until about April first. During the time we were living in the tent we had a snowfall of six inches, which soon went away. There were three families living within three-quarters of a mile of us in houses built of round logs with split chunks drive n in the cracks and then daubed with mud to keep the cold out. They were John Clemmons, Abel Crabtree and Joseph Tousignont. Two miles to the south were two more families, and at the mouth of Rock Creek lived Benedict Spiers and son Gus and son in law, William Frans. Just nort h of them lived three families of Murrays. As spring came on the work of making a new farm be gan. My father made that year what is called a sod and ditch fence around fifty six acres and got all the prairie inside broke out and raised a fair crop of sod corn. Some time in April of that year about 500 Indians, I think they were Otoes, camped on the creek half a mile south of us, but as they were friendly no one was harmed. The only Indian scare we ever had was one Sunday when their dog killed a hog for Mr. Clemmons. He shot the dog, and it came near getting him into trouble with them.

FIRST WEDDING

About the middle of March occurred the first wedding in the neighborhood and said to be the first in the county. The contracting parties were Vincent Faught and Christina Clemmons . When they took their seats Levi Churchill and Rebecca Clemmons rose and told the preacher to marry them, which he did. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Abraham Towner of the Methodist church.

FIRST DEATH

Two days after this wedding, John Clemmons, Sr., who lived with his son John died. Thus the first wedding and the first death in the neighborhood occurred at the same house within two days.

As spring opened other families came and settled, among them the widow Young, a mile and a quarter away; Lewis Young, two and a half miles; John Carroll, three miles; W.R. Ellington, three and a half miles. As summer of 1855 passed away, every few days a new settler would locate within a few miles of us. Considerable prairie was broken that year and nearly all raised corn enough to winter their stock. In January and February, 1856, my father cut logs fo a double log house, and in March hewed them. In April the neighbors were invited and the building erected in one day. This was the first hewed log house in the neighborhood. Owing to the busy season, however, it was not completed until fall. We then hauled stone and built a double fireplace and moved into the house November 30, 1856. The next day, December 1, it began to snow and continued snowing and blowing for three days. This has proved to be the greatest snow storm in the history of Nebraska up to the present date. It was nothing unusual to see a drift twenty feet deep in the hollows, where it blew off the higher ground. On this a crust was formed and teams could travel on top of the snow the country over. During the summer of 1856 considerable trouble was caused by some lawless men coming in and jumping claims held by the settlers. this caused the organization of a "Claim Club" to settle disputes, and protect the actual settler. One Lewis Johnson and his two sons and a few of his kin that were a terror to the neighborhood in March, 1857, with old man Kelly and his son Tom , were arrested by the committee and for some cause were held as prisoners. At night they were escorted over the river, and were never seen again. It has been a mystery to the majority of the people ever since as to what became of them, but it was generally supposed they were heavily weighted and put in the river. After that times were quiet in regard to claim jumping . In the summer of 1857 Miss Mary Stocking taught a subscription school in one room of my fat her's house. In 1856 the government survey of this county was made; then came the entry of the land. Money was scarce and a great many were obliged to borrow money to make the entry. Interest became very high, some paying 40 and some as high as 60 per cent interest. The result was that a great many were never able to pay out on their land, and it went into the hands of the money lender. Some time before this the town site of Plattsmouth had been laid out and the county seat located there, it being quite a trading point. Also the town of Rock Bluffs, three miles and half southeast of us, was quite a lively town.

FIRST COUNTY FAIR

In the fall of 1857 the first county fair was held at Rock Bluffs, and the people of those days thought it a grand success.

In the summer of 1858 William Young and Sam Buster bought the first reaper that was in the neighborhood, a stiff bar hand rake McCormich. We could cut about twelve acres per day, and I did the most of the raking off. Then the old cradle was laid away and people came for miles around to see it work. In 1860 there was quite an emigration to the gold fields of Colorado, also a great deal of freight hauled there on wagons, and we all know what happened in 1861. Thus I have given, to the best of my memory, the most important events from 1856 to 1861.

General Notes: Provided by Marlan Holmes of Bellevue, Ne. (1994) WAVE ALLEN COMMITS SUICIDE Mentally Unbalanced for Years He Finally Kills Himself.

The tragedy ending of a complaint for insanity took place yesterday noon at Weeping Water when Waverly T. Allen, a citizen of that place and for many years a resident of Sauders and Cass counties, ended his life by shooting. A complaint had been filed with the commissioners of insanity against Allen by a resident of Weeping Water and Sheriff Quinton had gone there to take him into custody and bring him to this city for examination by the board. According to many of the residents of that city Allen had the population completely overawed and scared and had at times threatened to kill a number of people in the city and thereabouts. His actions were such as to cause the filing of the complaint which hastened his end. Allen had been in the asylum before, having a number of years ago become so violent that his family feared for their safety and sought his incarceration. At that time he lived at Ashland and his troubles were many owing to his erratic behavior. After serving some time in the asylum he was discharged and removed to Weeping Water where he had gotten along nicely until within the past several years when his idiosyncrasies returned with redoubled violence as told above. The complaint was filed against Allen several days ago in the office of Clerk of the Court Roberts on and the warrant for his arrest was not delivered to the sheriff for service until a day or so later owing to the absence of the officer from the city on business. Yesterday morning Sheriff Quinton went to Weeping Water with the intention of taking Allen into Custody and when he arrived there he found the latter ready to go with him. He greeted the sheriff in a friendly manner as the latter came to his house and asked time to straighten up things at the house before leaving. He took some household belongings which were airing on the porch of the house while his little five years old son Stewart, who was living with him ran down to the barn where he had some chickens and other things to look after before they left with the sheriff . After some desultory conversation with the sheriff, that official and Allen entered the house and the latter began preparations for the journey to this city. At no time did he exhibit any unusual excitement and he seemed perfectly willing and even anxious to get things straightened up and to leave with the officer. He had a pair of pants laid out in the sitting room or parlor where he and Sheriff Quinton went and these he remarked to the sheriff "ought to do". Incidentally, and before this he had told the sheriff that he had made a will the day before disposing of his property and that he had named Messrs. Jos. Shrader, John Burke and John Tighe, all prominent and well known citizens of that section as executors of the instrument. After picking up the pants in the room Allen asked the sheriff's permission to step in to an adjoining room and "slip them on and then I'm ready." This permission Mr. Ouinton cheer fully granted as Allen had not displayed any indication of violence or of an intention to do himself or anyone else any damage. Allen stepped into the room which was separated from the room in which the sheriff was by a sliding door, and pulled or slid the door to closing it . The sheriff heard him take off his shoes by the sound of their being dropped on the floor and then the next thing he heard was the muffled report of the gun which ended the unfortunate man's life. At once the sheriff rushed to the door and threw it back, finding Allen setting in a chair partially disrobed and blood flowing in a stream from a hole in his head midway between the ear and the right eye and about an inch above. His hand grasped the revolver with which he had fired the fatal shot. Life was extinct when the sheriff reached his side, the bullet having done its work quickly and most effectively. From the position Allen occupied it was evident he had fired the shot on a sudden impulse. An open trunk stood at one side of the room from which the clothes had been taken which he intended to wear on his journey to this city. The vest and pants which he had taken off were lying on the bed under which the feet of the unfortunate man were thrust, the room in which the tragedy occurred being a small one and the chair in which he was sitting being along side the bed. It was evident to the sheriff that Allen must have been seized with the suicidal impulse after opening the trunk and removing the clothes and the sheriff's theory is that he saw the revolver with which he done the awful deed lying in the trunk and could not resist the temptation to use it. The revolver was a .38 calibre, center fire, Smith & Wesson and a most deadly weapon. After discovering the suicide and realizing that no good would come of keeping the house open for the inspection of a morbid public, Sheriff Quinton closed and locked the house while he notified the coroner at Elmwood of the affair. Previous to this the sheriff had gone, through a most try ing ordeal, having to meet the little five year old son of the dead man and keep him from seeing his father. This he did; taking the little lad to a neighbor's where he was taken care of . Coroner Clements being notified, arrived at Weeping Water on the 3:40 train, and at once viewed the body which was left by Sheriff Quinton in the identical position in which it was found by him. After looking over the premises and examining into the cause of the suicide as far as it appeared upon the surface, Coroner Clements expressed himself as believing an inquest unnecessary. A number of townspeople who had visited the house at this time --probably several dozen--suggested that in as much as family troubles had existed for some time, it might be advisable for the relief of the family to hold an inquest, and the coroner at once selected the jury of six of the prominent citizens of Weeping Water and its vicinity. Those gentlemen with the coroner, then viewed the body which was then taken to the undertaking establishment of E. Ratnour, for burial. After viewing the body the jury adjourned down town where they completed the inquest, finding the deceased came to his own death at his own hands, and exonerating Sheriff Quinton from any blame in the matter. The funeral of the deceased will probably take place at Weeping Water tomorrow. Waverly T. Allen, the deceased, was quite well known in this city. He had been a resident of Nebraska for many years and at one time was a well to do man of Ashland. He had been in business at that point and had made a success of it, until family troubles brought on what it is believed, by approaching insanity, wrecked his home and his business. He was married twice and had four children by his first wife and nine by the second. Of these several are dead. Lately he and his wife had been living apart, and the later making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Ronne, near Weeping Water. A number of the daughters of the deceased are married and living most happily, the youngest daughter is said to be in a Catholic school or convent at Nebraska City. Personally when the deceased was in his right mind, he was a kind, loving and indulgent father. When his erratic spells were upon him he is said to have exhibited marked traits of brutality. Those who knew him in this city have long expressed the greatest sympathy for him in his misfortune. He was a bright, genial gentleman when his mind was clear and possessed quite a wealth of information on various topics. When his reason was clouded much of his brightness left him and he was avoided whenever possible of acquaintances. The news of his death was received generally with deep sorrow.

Remembering Yakima by those who were there, Yakima Vally Sun - Feb. 22. 1979. Loss Graves and Bluelight: Memories of a man and a town no longer on the map - by Cindy Warren. Elbert Lossen Graves spent some important years of his life in towns that are no longer marked on any map. Born on June 22, 1848, Knox County Tennessee, Graves married Ella Agnes Phoebe Carrell (sister of Elisha Simpson Carrell) on November 23, 1871, in a town called Sonora, Missouri. That scene of his marriage is no longer seen on any map. Neither is Bluelight , a town near Bickleton, Washington, where Graves served as the first postmaster. All that is left of the small community is the old Graves home and a good share of memories tucked away in the minds of Bluelight's former residents. After Graves and his new bride eloped, they lived for a while in Rock Bluffs, Nebraska. With their seven children, they settled in the Bickleton area about 1900. The bricklayer, mason, photographer and carpenter accepted the job of postmaster for the community, which was as yet un-named. One story of how Bluelight got its name went like this: Realizing that the collection of a general store, livery stable, blacksmith shop and butcher shop had to be named in order to qualify for a post office, Graves and a man named Ed Gleason put their heads together. It was Gleason's idea to name the not-quite town after the blue glow (from lamps) he saw in the night when returning from church . So Bluelight it was, however short-lived. Being a fun loving sort, Graves himself built a dance hall in the tiny town. Lumber to build the entertainment center was hauled by bobsled. Elbert Graves held the position of postmaster until 1904 when he turned the duties over to his niece, Nellie Graves Carrell (Uncle Wilber Carrell's wife). This versatile man's next job was with a Puyallup sawmill.(town up near Seattle). He established a sawmill of his own located in the Wenas upon returning to the Valley in 1908. Although business venture s were not usually shared by men and their wives, Graves operated a merry-go-round on South Second Street; and Mrs Graves (daughters Vangie and Lulu) painted the horses and took tickets . Long afterwards he would buy whole strings of merry-go-round tickets so his granddaughter Addie (Rhodes) could ride the wooden horses at the state fair. (Merry-go-round at Bickleton Pioneer Picnic at Cleveland was restored by Joy T. Carrell) In 1910, Graves moved to Yakima after purchasing property on the corner of 17th and Teiton Drive. He and his wife lived in a two-story home he built there. His daughter and her family lived next door. At this time , he was operating a small store located on the corner of Second and Yakima avenues, right next to a Chinese restaurant. He and his wife and son John shared the store keeping respon sibilities, stocking mainly staple goods since they had no refrigeration. They sold vinegar f rom barrels and many kinds of penny candy. Granddaughter Addie Rhodes hasn't forgotten the penny candy days of Grandad's store. All day suckers and licorice whips sold for a cent. Many times she asked for "bacon", a flat red and white stripped coconut candy. She had such a yearning for the pink soda pop, but "they couldn't afford to buy it." Although thrifty Grandpa Graves continued to walk to his store to save the 10 cent street car fare, his son-in-law Elmer Williams decided to go new-fangled and bought a car. Oh how the children (and wife Vangie) cried, recalls Mrs Rhodes, when her father sold the family's horses. Shortly after, two more milestones occurred for the family, one on November 11 of that year, the first Ar mistice parade was held in downtown Yakima. Granddaughter Addie stood on the corner opposite the store for her parade-side view. After his wife's death, Graves gave up the store but continued living in the home they had shared. He was forced out, however, when the city decided to install a sewer and city water system. Taxes were upped so high he had to move to a home on fifth Avenue. His life took a turn for the better again when he married Sitha Waits and began running a store located on Cherry Avenue. He retained his storekeeper status until he died. Several of his descendants still live in Yakima: Granddaughters Addie R hodes, Blanche Anderson, Juanita Coller, Mary Zeigler, Edith Speer (Edith, Eneinitas, California), and Patricia Taylor (Pat, Spokane, Washington) Mrs. Rhodes would like to see her grandfather's now ghost town residence immortalized with a blue light, set atop a power pole, in memory of a man and a town no longer on any maps.
