Read More	Calvin L. Hashman One of the popular and efficient commissioners of Box Butte county who is serving a third term in this responsible office was born near Mercer, Missouri, April 25, 1866, the son of William and Ruth (Mobley) Hashman, the former a native of Ohio. Calvin was next lo the youngest in a family of eleven children and grew up self reliant and strong. William Hashman was a farmer, so his children were reared in the strict discipline demanded by farm life and each and every one of them began to assume duties around the home place when their age and strength permitted. Calvin was sent to the district school near his home, and there laid the foundation of a good practical education that has been of value to him in his business life. While yet a boy he was an experienced and practical farmer, having learned the business from his father. While yet a small lad he began to earn money, a habit which he has kept through life. The first work consisted of riding a horse and hauling hay to the stack. A rope was attached to the saddle and the other end was looped around a bundle of hay and then pulled to the desired location, and for the work the boy received thirty cents a day. Calvin remained at home until he was eighteen, then decided to establish himself independently as a farmer for he had chosen the vocation of husbandman for a life work, as it was one to which his tastes turned and already a business with which he was well acquainted. In 1884 he came to Boone county, Nebraska, one of the pioneers of this state and the next year located in Dawes county on a homestead S. E. one-quarter, section fifteen, township twenty-five, range forty-nine, ten miles northwest of the present city of Alliance. Later a part of Dawes was erected at Box Butte county and Mr. Hashman found himself a resident of the new division. He put his new land under cultivation, built good and permanent buildings for his stock and erected a good frontier home for his family. As fortune favored and he was able to dispose of his crops Mr. Hashman demonstrated his belief in the future of this section of the Panhandle by buying more property until today he is the owner of a landed estate of two thousand acres of "good Nebraska land," all of which can be cultivated. This magnificent fortune has been made by the unaided efforts of Mr. Hashman himself who is the architect of his own prosperity and can look with well deserved pride upon the accomplishment. He has been engaged in general farming and stockraising since first locating here. In the early days when money was not so plentiful and his farm smaller, Mr. Hashman employed his spare time as a freighter, moving immigrants from Hay Springs, the end of the railroad, to their new homes on claims taken by them in the new country south and west. When the railroad was being constructed he freighted for the contractors, bringing supplies to the construction camps established beyond the rail-head and at one time brought in all the necessities required when the tunnel was drilled through Pine Ridge. He followed the building of the road as far west as New Castle, Wyoming. On November 29, 1883, Mr. Hashman married Miss Cora Jay, in Mercer county, Missouri, and two children were born to them: Bessie, who married Frank Vaughn, a farmer and stockraiser of Box Butte county, and Arthur C, who married Myrtle Heartley and has six children. They live on a farm near Alliance where the father is engaged in general farming and stockraising. Mrs. Hashman died and in the early nineties Mr. Hashman married Miss Ella M. Lapham. They raised a family of seven children: Amy, the wife of Floyd Tryne, a farmer near Hemingford and they have two children: J. Leo, also married and now a farmer near Alliance; Ada, at home with her father; Frank C, Lester A., G. Wesley and A. Roy, all at home. Mrs. Hashman died February 16, 1916 and for his third wife Mr. Hashman chose Mrs. Jennie M. Condon nee Erickson, and one boy, Cecil B., has been born to the union. Mr. Hashman was elected county commissioner in 1911, on the Republican ticket and at the present time is serving his third term in this office, which demonstrates his efficient service. He is a man of modern ideas and methods, is progressive in his ideas and takes and earnest and active part in all affairs of the county as well as civic and communal movements for the development of local enterprise. He supports with money and time every movement that will develop the county and Alliance. He was a member of the board when the Box Butte county court house was erected and it was due to his business sagacity and the fact that he was constantly supervising the work that the building was completed without a dollar's worth of graft, though he had many an unpleasant encounter with the grafters to accomplish his end. On agricultural subjects the commissioner is an authority, especially alfalfa, and has contributed a valuable monograph on the raising of this valuable crop in Nebraska. He has one hundred and eighty acres himself in the county, runs an average of a hundred and fifty to two hundred head of cattle yearly and cuts about two hundred tons of alfalfa in addition to general farm produce, and two hundred tons of wild hay. Mr. Hashman is a true type of American farmer, the greatest producer on earth.
