Homesteaders in Cherry County, Nebraska
Description
An account of the resource
During the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century a small number of African Americans came to Nebraska as homesteaders, seeking new opportunities for independence and self-sufficiency working the land. The largest black homesteading settlement in Nebraska was started in 1904 in the Sandhills of Cherry County. Another smaller community was established in 1908, west of Westerville in Custer County. The Cherry County families pictured here were a part of the Brownlee settlement.

Patrick Kennedy's Homestead Certificate, 1891
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This is Patrick Kennedy's homestead certificate given in accordance with the 1862 Homestead Act, securing his right to the 160 acres of land in Cedar County, Nebraska. Seeking to create more yeoman farmers, believed to be the backbone of antebellum America in the North, the Republican authors and advocates of the of the Homestead Act managed to pass it only after the Southern Democrats left the 37th Congress. Signed into law on May 20, 1862 the Homestead Act required the potential homesteader to be 21 years of age or older, or be the head of a family when filing an a claim for a federal land grant, live on the land for five years and have made improvements, and finally file the deed of title. After 1873 homesteaders in Nebraska and Kansas often filed claims for additional land under the Timber Culture Act seeking to enlarge their land holdings through claiming improvements planting trees.</p>

Patrick Kennedy's Timber Claim, 1893
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This is a Timber Claim granting Patrick Kennedy, Sue Eickhoff's great-grandfather, rights over 160 acres of land in accordance with the Timber Culture Acts of 1873, 1874, and 1878. First passed in 1873, the Timber Culture Act provided up to 160 acres of land to farmers for planting trees to better the land for cultivation and increase the rainfall in the western parts of the Great Plains. Most often, however, the Timber Claim allowed homesteaders to secure another section of land, leading to the repeal of the act in 1891. Yet the claims established for over ten years after 1891 as Patrick Kennedy's claim testifies. Since Patrick Kennedy became a citizen in 1884, and secured his homestead claim in 1891, it is probable that he established the claim in the early 1890s, as only citizens and homesteaders could establish Timber Claims after 1874.</p>

I do not re-member just<br /> what I wrote you – But the Burlington<br /> (C-B-rd-) crossed with Nebr at Platto<br /> (?) in July 1869. And then then pushed<br /> on to Ashland and Lincoln. We were<br /> living in the house. Then I can re<br /> member that a number of the men<br /> used to come to our house for food<br /> we cooked and ate in the basement<br /> ---------------------------</p>
<p>and slept I think on first floor you<br /> may re-member that the rooms were<br /> furnished by peace-meal and the room<br /> intended for our parlor not finished<br /> until J-M took the place over. The <br /> Congregational church was organized in<br /> Ashland in may 1871 So that<br /> I presume Rev (?) Knowles only preached<br /> from the time we moved in until then<br /> Rev Ara Farnell (?) you will remember was<br /> the first pastor at Ashland for the Con-<br /> gregational church. The (?)

<p>Dear sister Lottie<br /> a little note to remind you that<br /> I have not forgotten your birthday<br /> I am so glad to see you looking<br /> well and we wish you many happy<br /> birthdays to follow. We were glad<br /> to have had the little visit with<br /> you and your family. So glad to<br /> have seen Harry again and also<br /> to meet his wife. She seemed very<br /> pleasant and interesting. Gill(?) and <br /> Verma(?) are such worth while young<br /> people. We hope that the elements<br /> will not dry them out this coming<br /> year but give them Nebraska in <br /> general an abundant crop.<br /> we too feel very much warmed over<br /> -------------------------</p>
<p>the condition of Josephine's little girl<br /> and hope that the will be marked im-<br /> provement when we hear again.<br /> Lottie I talked with our (?)est Supervisor<br /> in our schools about having copies<br /> of mothers picture made – She knows the<br /> picture well. Thinks there is noone<br /> here now who could do it. There was<br /> but she has gone. She told megapho-<br /> tographes who might be able to do it<br /> I will see him soon – and let you know<br /> what he has today. A few years ago<br /> before the old home burned Ray Reas(?)<br /> took a Kodac picture of it I asked him<br /> when we were there in June to get it<br /> for me. He kept neglecting it and only<br /> got it two or three days before it (?)</p>
<p>which I think was in September. I thought<br /> it was Pioneer History, Built before<br /> the Burlington R R came into Nebr.<br /> The Stage coach stopped there to lease and<br /> ----------------</p>
<p>take mail on their route. Freighters<br /> from Nebr City and Plattsmouth on<br /> the trail to Denver passed by long<br /> (?) (?) Mr Knowles held<br /> services there every other week on Sun<br /> afternoon and as I have said to our<br /> children – it was "Community<br /> Centre" without being named such<br /> Rays Kodac was very small but you<br /> can have the picture made larger<br /> if you wish. Lulu(?) had one made for<br /> one 7x5 inches. It is a very good picture<br /> if you would like to have a picture of<br /> the old house I will send you the <br /> film. I am enclosing the one Ray had<br /> finished. Theo thinks mine is 8x5 inches<br /> I went into the house but not upstairs<br /> Some changes which were an improve<br /> ment. You were in California then<br /> ------------------</p>
<p>your visits have been so short that<br /> we did not have time to think of<br /> nor talk of our doingo(?) . You must<br /> come when you can stay long<br /> enough that we will get caught up<br /> on our visiting. I am enclosing<br /> the picture of the old home that Ray<br /> had finished. The larger one that Lulu(?)</p>
<p>Had made for me shows up better.<br /> We hope that you have a comfortable<br /> winter and keep well.</p>
<p>With love to you and yours-<br /> Theodore and Anna</p>
<p>Should I address letters to Verna(?) to<br /> Aurora or Hampton?</p>

Ann's Letter to Charlotte Littlefield Discussing Family History (1)
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This is a letter to Charlotte Littlefield from her sister Anna and her husband Theodore. Anna probably wrote this letter in the late 1930s or early 1940s, since this is the time the interest in family history rekindles.</p>
<p>Charlotte (Lotta) Littlefield (nee Roberts) was Joseph Littlefield's second wife, whom he married in 1887 after his first wife Hellen died in 1881. Robertses came to Nebraska from Illinois in 1864 to homestead in Cass County.</p>
<p>The letter comes from the collection of Terri and Dave Mabon. Dave Mabon is Charlotte Littlefield's great-grandson.</p>
