I believe the Williams are all dead except H. V. (Vollie) who resides at Sidney. "Grandmother" Williams died at Caldwell, Kansas ; Quincy, at Sidney; James R. (the father of Vollie), at Sidney; George at Cassville, Perry county, Missouri (in the Ozarks). Mrs. Williams remarried at Caldwell, Kansas, to an old soldier. Both are now dead, Mrs. Williams dying in Texas.

John E. Logan went to Missouri to do some work for the Kilpatricks, and is reported to have died there.

The Hubbards who are said to be the first settlers of Horseshoe Bend, who were in what is known as the C. D. Wood canyon are still alive in Idaho, although very feeble. He has creeping paralysis. Johnny Hubbard was killed by falling under a train on which he was a brakeman, at Weiser, Idaho, and Hudson, his brother died at Boise. William Hubbard is at North Platte in railroad work.

In this part of Banner county now resides James Jessup formerly of Scotts Bluff county, who was once candidate for county treasurer.

Settlement Groups

Around Freeport soon there were settled Thos. Wilson, the Stalcups, Henry Bruner, Hugh Milhollin, and up the creek were the Earleys, and Jim Pogue. Above the Wright ranch was Wm, Kelley, the Livingstons, Chris Streeks, and the Thoelecke place where Francois Jourdain held forth. The beginning of the Airdale ranch was north of the creek, with Philo H. Mann and Harry Eggleston in charge. Later the Hartmans moved into the canyon north of Livingston and Ingles settled on land to the south.
