THE AMERICAN SOLDIER--A POSTER FROM PARIS

NEBRASKA's DEAD

_____________

Names of Men From Our State Who Gave Their
Lives in the World War

_____________

Killed in action..............349
Died of disease...............207
Died of wounds................160
Reported died of accident..... 19
Reported died ................ 16
Total........................ 751

  The following list contains all of the names of Nebraska men who have fallen in the World War, as the same have been announced by the bulletins of the war department, together with their residence and the date of the announcement from Washington. There is little doubt that a number of errors have been made in the transmission and publication of these names. Nevertheless it is the most complete and accurate list which can now be obtained. At a later time a more adequate account of these men from our date who have laid down their lives in the world's great cause will be published by the Historical Society.
  We shall be glad to receive any corrections to this list from persons having direct knowledge.

PROOFERS NOTES: There are five lists following.

Use your browser's "Find" to search for a surname. If you are seeking a surname that begins with "Mc" or "Mac", try "M'" (M apostrophe) as well - two surnames appear that way. They are alphabetized under the OLD system where surnames beginning with "Mc" appear before those starting with "Ma.."

Reminder - the date is for the death annoucement from Washington, NOT the death date of the individual.

"FORT ATKINSON, OR COUNCIL BLUFFS"
  The following, account of the first organized society of white people and the first periodical journal published in the territory now called Nebraska, was printed, as an editorial, in the Missouri Intelligencer of December 10, 1822. The Intelligencer was published at Franklin, which was situated on the north bank of the Missouri river, two hundred and five miles, by the river, above St. Louis, and at that time important as the initial and outfitting point of the Santa Fe Trail.
  This story is part of a large volume of similar earliest history of "the Nebraska country" which has been collected, recently, from libraries in St. Louis and Columbia, Mo., by the undersigned for the Historical Society.
  After a rather brief existence - from 1813 to1827 - Fort Atkinson was abandoned for a more practicable location, and Fort Leavenworth was established in its stead. The site of Fort Atkinson is now comprised in the town of Fort Calhoun, sixteen miles north of Omaha. - Albert Watkins.
  This spot, notwithstanding its remoteness, is daily growing on the public attention, and claiming a more general share of the national interest. Cut off, as it is, by a wide tract of uninhabited country, from the extreme bounds of western population, or placed, to use the felicitous language of Watts, on "earth's remotest bounds," yet it is growing into a place of great and deserved notoriety, not only as an important point in the great system of military defenses, planned by our present intelligent and national eyed secretary of war, but as a place that is now, or soon will be, the source of the emanation of science, and the seat of the genius of literature.
  This place received the name we have placed second in order in our head line from the circumstance of Lewis and Clark having, during their halt there in 1806 [August 3, 1804], held a council with the neighboring Indians, remained without further notice, until it was discovered to be a point of the first importance, in securing the safety of the growing west, against the probable incursions or our yet uncivilized western brethren, and also a point of fine check against the encroachments Of our neighbors the gentlemen of the N. W. Company [British].
  In addition to the views already exhibited, and in which we of the west feel so lively an interest, it has been attempted to enforce the oft contested theory of combining a system of agricultural improvements, with a system of military dicipline and defense....
  The trust of trying an experiment of such moment to the nation, and of such doubtful result, was entrusted to the charge of General Henry Atkinson. . . .
  Whether it were the mere "fortune of war," or the genius of good selection, we know not, but so it has happened, that there fell to that post a peculiar allotment of talents and industry - of talents both natural and acquired - of industry both corporeal and mental. It seems difficult to imagine how an expedition, of the complex character of that of which we speak, could have been better conducted, or could have terminated in a result more grateful to the feelings of those who planned, or of those who executed it.
  Passing over the Military Strength of the place, of which

fess ourselves but inadequate judges, and of the clear demonstration which has been afforded of the possibility of efficiently combining military with agricultural pursuits (a demonstration that may be called an era of "glad aspect") we crave the attention of our readers to a few features in the establishment of a moral aspect.
  The officers of the establishment, notwithstanding the weight of duties imposed on them by the plan of the government, and notwithstanding the spareness of their numbers, have attended, with no little credit to themselves, to subjects of the highest scientific, literary and moral concernment.
  Several of the gentlemen connected with the military mission (and especially one, whose name we regret his modesty obliges us to conceal) have, from the first establishment of the post been engaged in a liberal and laborious investigation of the natural history of the surrounding country - others in depicting its topography - ascertaining, and recording, for the information and improvement of the civilized world, the laws, manners, customs, etc. of the aboriginal tribes who inhabit the vast fertile tract in whose vicinity they are located.
  Not content with these exertions, the gentlemen have established among themselves various means of mutual excitement, and various modes of public improvement. They have, as we are credibly informed, a debating society, in which questions of the highest moral and literary interest are discussed, with powers that would well befit a Lyceum in that East whence knowledge travelled to our remote west, and a reading room, furnished with a variety and a value of literary labor that ought but little to be expected in this remote section of the western hemisphere.
  But the circumstance which, among all these things, has most excited both our wonder and our approbation is, that these gentlemen have established among themselves, A WEEKLY JOURNAL, published in manuscript, on a royal sheet, elegantly and correctly executed in point of chirography; and in point of original matter not exceeded by the first eastern publications of the day. We have received two numbers of this original Journal - original in its plan, and, so far at least as our limited knowledge extends, original in its execution. It is a source of real regret to us that the conditions on which we obtained access to this curious journal of the doings, opinions, and feelings of an intelligent and secluded people, precludes us from honorably spreading some portion at least of its contents before our readers. We can, however, truly say, that we have perused the columns of the "Military Journal" with pleasure and interest; that we hail its appearance as a proof, in addition to those we have already had, of the morals, literature, and cultivated taste of the "men of war" stationed at Fort Atkinson, and we cannot but express the regret we feel, that, from the remoteness of our situation, the want of the Faustian power, or the modesty of the Contributors, the circulation of the "Military Journal" should extend to so small a portion of that country which derives honor from being the seat of such talent.

  We held a Nebraska picnic here on the 15th of February amid the flowers of Mission Cliff Garden. Over one hundred present. Your humble servant was chosen to preside and we carried thru an impromptu and interesting program, which was responded to by the ready talent from Nebraska. Prof. Oberkotter, principal of the Grant school and a graduate of Doane College, was elected president of the Nebraska Association.
