Sheldon in 1897 and at present the secretary of the state historical society and of the legislative reference bureau. Next was Allen G. Fisher, a splendid intelligence who has handicapped his own efficiency by indulging in antagonisms with his fellowmen: Col. Chas. F. Coffee, whose name is not limited to western Nebraska, was a member in 1901. It is likely there is no man with greater influence and always for the good in all northwestern Nebraska. Frank Currie of Crawford, a man of high standing, served two terms in the house, 1903 and 1905. In 1907 we find the name of our old friend George M. Adams, the Crawford merchant and business man who later became senator. Chas. H. Chase of Crawford succeeded Adams in 1909 and left a stamp of his identity upon the records of the state legislature. In 1913 H. E. Riesche, at present efficient member of the state normal board, was elected and kept high the standard of educational and other excellence from Dawes. Last mentioned and in the order of chronology, but not least in the hearts of his people, is Charles Naylor. He served in 1915 and 1917 with an efficiency and integrity that made him a state wide character. Recently his splendid and intelligent wife has been called Beyond. Both Mr. and Mrs. Naylor were holding two of the highest offices in the gift of the Rebekahs of the state at the time of Mrs. Naylor's departing from the field of activity.

Geo. C. Snow was representative in the legislative session of 1919. A good man, in keeping with Dawes county's high record.
