Old Settlers Address by J. M. Wahl
Ladies ami Gentlemen
As tlie rain has interfered with our
roe ram, I will have to pick out a few
sentences of what I had intended, and
in my mind to say upon this occasion,
and only take up a lew minutes of our
valuable time.
This is a simi-Centenial year for
Lincoln County, as it was 50 years on
June 1st that the tirst piece of land
became private property. This land
consisted of fractions along tlie River
and being a part of the Big Timber,
extending from tPairview to the New
ton Iliil and this timber had the re
putation of being the largest Tract
of Timber on the Big Sioux Iliver.
Most any one looking for laud, would
have left the H'lesh pots of Egypt as
It were if he could have possessed
part of this valuable timber, and
what a blessing for the first settlers
of this county, that part of it was on
the School Section, the early settlers
wiil remember with thanks.
There was no Philosopher that
even predicted, that we should live to
use the handy and ready fuel found on
every farm today, better and much
cleaner, than the blessed bull'alo chips.
The Cowboy French or Latin name,
given the dry Cow Dung, that many
mothers in this territory, picked "up
on the Praire, and earring it in sacks
on their backs to the sod shack, to
keep the children warm.
I shall hardly mention the many
trials of the first settlers. We behold
a transformation of this wilderness
into beautiful cities, and farm homes
equal, if not superior to any part of
the United States.
Not long ago I met a lady who told
me that at one time the tirst years in
the 70's, residing on the prairie, the
family for two weeks, subsisted .on a
little ground corn, her father brought
from Vermillion, mixing it with pota
toes for the meals. Now this lady
lives in a comfortable home and goes
shopping In a $2000 automobile.
It is a saying that every dog has
his day, and surely the farmer's dog
has his now, and when the farmers
does well, everybody does well, even
the banker. It does you good, old set
tler, it does me good to behold" this
change.
Think of the toils of your parents
or grand parents, you young people,
within the hearing of my voice, you
enjoying home stately built, plenty of
food and comforts, that so many in
some parts uf the world are lacking to
day. For you roads, bridges, school
and churches built, Institutions of
higher learning, all been worked and
done for while the pioneers were poor
and please do not forget that highest
and most useful Institution in Ameri
can History, the frontier life, its ex
periences from the time of W m. Penn,
Daniel Boone, down to Lewis and
Clark expedition through our own
territory. The Path tinder Fremont,
finding the way overland to the Paci
fic and please also, do not forget wiiat
we gained, when through the fickle
mindedtiess of a woman (ZenI. Sam
Huston, left the Governor's chair of
Tennesee and joined Dr. Smith, the
Allans, and three others, all educat
ed college men, who gave us Texas,
with Bio Grande as a south-west
boundary, and Huston's character can
best be tola by his resigning the Gov
ernorship of Texas in 1861, rather

We gained Empires for our Union and
now you old settlers of Lincoln county
who are surrounded by your children
and family and spending your declin
ing years in comfort and plenty, I
know you are thankful to Almighty
God. I am sorry in a certain way,
that so many of us, are uearir.g the
three score and ten allotted to men,
and so many has been called away
more so this last year, than any before
in the History of our county.
(Of thyse settling near Trapper
shanty as this place was called in 1807
only Mrs Jasper Keith and perhaps
another lady resides in the County to
day)
Some years ago I made some sug
gestions as to what should be done
with preserving the first log house
built in 1868 (one that was well intact)
and also the saving of the first school
and township records, which would be
valuable, both historical and other
wise, (that now is unprotected, and a
burden to school and Township offi
cials)
In 18"( Judge Gilford was appointed
at the 4th of July Centenial Celebra
tion to write a history of this county.
He is known to have done some work
to that end, but we have been unable
to find any copy or manuscript of his
doing. The County then was 10 years
old. Now we are nearing the 50 year
mark, of our County's Organization
and efforts should be made, to get the
History we have been trying to write
completed. A matter that will be
taken up at our business meeting to
day, which I hope many will attend.
As for myself, unforseen circumstanc
es, and conditions over which we had
no control has delayed the work on
my part.
The year has been one of the tfiost
eventful, in the 'World's History.
Tho^e Nations of Europe, who for
over 100 years have spent millions in
money, and the life of thousands of
missionaries to civilize and christian
ize the heathens and bring God's mes
sage of peace and good will to men,
has so far forgotten themselves, as to
become murderers, most cruel, out
doing the North American Indian, or
the tribes of the South Sea Island,
and these latter less responsible be
cause they did not know any better.
In the 30 years war about 300,000
were killed per year, while now about
two millions are killed in battle in
ten months. You say we are advanc
ing in civilization and modes of living
—yes, but we have advanced at a
fearful rate of killing and dying it
seems some say, as war is spoken of in
the Bible and has sanction from on
high. Well such sancLfon was not
given to war for dollars wealth and
it you want to follow that theory, let
Kaiser Wilhelm, King Gebrge and old
Joseph of Austria, like Dfcvid of old,
pick up the war material out of the
Brook and fight. But Kqips and
July 10th
plosives should noi be used to kill in
nocent women and children.
The Babylonians, Phlnesians and
the Carthagenians the three most
powerful nations, before the Greek,
500 years before Christ, planted Colon
ies in order to advance their trade,
but were diplomatic enough to divid
the territory and avoid any friction.
You say we are reaping borne benefits
of this war, yes In dollars, but that
hardly clear our concience, though
the United States Government are
doing all they can for peace and we
today as a mighty Nation occupy an
exhalted possession, and never has an
American citizenship been so valuable
as at present. Many of us points to
the other side as the land of our fore
fathers, we do not forget that this is
our country.
