comprises 120 acres on section 2, eighty acres of which were bought when he first settled here. The remaining portion having been since purchased, is one evidence of the prosperity which has smiled upon him since that time.
   While residing in his native State our subject became acquainted with Miss Mary A. Sidders, who is the daughter of James and Sarah (Robins) Sidders, and who was born in Hunterdon County, N. J., May 18, 1854. Yielding to the dictates of the noblest and deepest passion of humanity, the two united their lives and fortunes at Zanesfield, Aug. 15, 1873. This devoted attachment and happy alliance has been crowned by the blessing and brightness of a family circle comprising six children, who are named: Alice M., Katie, Anna Coe, Jennie B., John E. and Laura E. The second child, Katie, died when eighteen months old, in Ohio. Mr. Glover is a man of considerable intellectual power, education and experience, and by his consistent character and life commands the highest regard of the community at large, and more especially of those who know him more intimately in official or home life. He has served several times as a member of the School Board, discharging his duties with dignity and efficiency.
   The ability and fitness displayed generally by Mr. Glover resulted some time since in his being unanimously elected to the office of Elder in the Presbyterian Church, of which both he and his wife are members. This office, one of the most important in the affairs of any communion, is full of onerous and difficult duties. The satisfactory manner in which these have been met and discharged is recognized by the affection and esteem in which Mr. Glover is held in the church. In the same proportion that this gentleman is held in the regard of his friends and fellow-citizens, is his wife also esteemed and honored, and we believe that Mr. Glover himself would be one of the first to acknowledge that more credit is due to the charms, rightness and aid which his wife has brought into his life, his plans and work, than to his own character or efforts. In the Republican party Mr. Glover finds that which is appreciable to his political thought, and this party receives his advocacy and support.
   Dr. John Glover, the father of our subject, was a native of Scioto County, Ohio, and was born in the second year of this century. His mother, a native of Franklin County, Ohio, is Eliza (Nurse) Glover, who was born in the year 1817, This lady is still living, but her husband was taken, from her side by death June 11, 1885. Their union was fruitful in the birth of four children--Corrinne, Catherine, Laura A., and Elijah B., our subject.
   The father of Mrs. Glover, James Sidders, was born June 7, 1829, in Hunterdon County, N. J., her mother, Sarah (Robins) Sidders, was born Nov. 27, 1833. They had twelve children--George, Mary A., John W., Sylvester R., Sarah E., Anna M., Charity, Jersey B., James R., Jonathan, Mahala and Levi.
   The interesting family we have here briefly sketched is one of a class which it is always a pleasure to be connected with, or to write about. in such homes our country has its strongest bulwarks, and from such family circles draws its best and noblest citizens--those who have grown up in the atmosphere of Christian manhood and. womanhood, fitted for the diverse and intricate opportunities and emergencies which sooner or later come into every life. A view of the dwelling which shelters the Glover family is shown in this connection.

EORGE W. DEAHL, one of the leading dairymen and farmers of Saltillo, is a young man of sterling qualities, thoughtful, intelligent and industrious, is a credit to the community where he lives, and is held in universal respect by all who know him, whether in social or in business life.
   The gentleman whose life record we herein notice is a son of the late well-known Andrew Deahl, of whose honorable career his children are justly proud. The father was a native of Germany, who came to this country in 1834, and settled in Somerset County, Pa., where he operated a farm. He met and married Miss Matilda Schultz, in Somerset County, Pa., which was the place of her birth, and there they spent the first five years of their wedded life. They then took up their abode in Maryland,

where they lived twenty-five years. They subsequentiy removed to Macoupin County, Ill., where Mr. Deahl purchased a farm, and conducted general farming on quite an extensive scale until 1879, when he came with his family to Nebraska, and settled in Lancaster County, making his home here until his death, in September, 1886, at the age of seventy-seven years.
   During the seven years' residence of the father of our subject in this county his rare stability of character and trustworthiness as a man and a citizen did not fail to impress those about him, who accorded him due honor and respect. His estimable wife, who had been to him a true friend, helper and counselor, survived him only a fortnight, dying in the same month, at the age of sixty-six years. Thus they who had been so faithful and devoted to each other in life were scarcely divided in death. They were the parents of seventeen children, nine of whom are living, namely: Elizabeth, Mrs. Martin; Adam; Catherine, Mrs. Martin; Henry; Sarah, Mrs. Call; Mollie, Mrs. Hillier; John; George and Chauncey.
   The subject of this sketch was born Aug. 3, 1861, in Alleghany County, Md., and he was four years old when his parents removed to Illinois, where the remaining years of his boyhood and youth were passed. He received a substantial education in the Public Schools of Shipman, and a practical training on his father's farm. He was eighteen years old when his father's family came to Nebraska, and he remained an inmate of the parental home until the death of his father and mother. In 1886 he bought land of his father, intending to establish a home for himself and his young wife. In 1887 he sold sixty acres of it, clearing quite a sum of money. His farm now comprises 100 acres of very productive land, and he is fast bringing it to a highly cultivated condition, and with the valuable improvements that he is continually making it his fair to become one of the finest farms in the vicinity. Mr. Deahl makes a specialty of dairying, and has already won an enviable reputation in that line, supplying a good class of customers in Lincoln.
   To the charming young wife who presides over his home Mr. Deahl was married Feb. 12, 1885. She is a type of womanly grace, has a sweet and affectionate disposition, and makes their home a true paradise, a retreat from the cares and worries of business. Mrs. Deahl was formerly Miss Millie May Mitchell, daughter of William and Margaret (Hooper) Mitchell, natives respectively of North Carolina and Missouri. Her father is a wheel-wright by trade, and removed to Illinois in 1866. He still resides in the town of Medora, and is now sixty-eight years old. His estimable wife departed this life in 1874, aged forty-two years, Seven children were born of their union, namely: Mollie, Willie, Otis, Maggie, Hattie, Katie and Arthur. Mrs. Deahl was the fifth child in order of birth, and was born in Macoupin County, Ill., Dec. 12, 1866. She was educated in the schools of Medora, and only left her father's home to take up the duties devolving upon her as a wife in her new home in Nebraska. Mr. Deahl is a young man of sound principles and excellent business habits, and an active member of the Lutheran Church, of Roca. In his political affiliations he is a Democrat, earnestly believing that the policy of that party is the true one for the guidance of the country. The view of his homestead, which appears in this connection, will be looked upon with interest as that of a rising citizen who will make his mark in his community.

EV. PETER S. SCHAMP, an honored resident of Lincoln, is one of the earliest pioneers of Lancaster County, and many years of his life have been devoted to its moral and material elevation. When he first visited Nebraska, in 1861, it was a Territory, the greater part of it in a wild, uncultivated condition, with elk, antelope, and other wild game abounding, and Indians passing to and fro to their hunting-grounds or reservations. At that time there was not a house on the present site of Lincoln, the land then being owned by the Government, and for sale at $1.25 an acre. He selected a tract of land on section 23 of what is now Yankee Hill Precinct, and filed his claim at the land-office in Nebraska City, July 25, 1861. He then returned to his home in Iowa, and in the spring of 1862 came back with his family,
