Bake (as everyone called him) worked on the railroad at different places from Omaha to North Platte. They had eight children: John, Emily, Albert (who died at age 1), Danny, Grant, Maybell, Eddie and Georgia. They moved to the community on the north river road in about 1879. John, the eldest, was born in Saltville, Virginia, April 13, 1874 and was about one year old when coming to Nebraska. When a young man, John homesteaded ¼ section of Sand Hills. This was when only ¼ section could be homesteaded, prior to the Kinkaid Act. He married Elva Groves in 1897 and lived with his parents for a time. Their son, Charles was born there. They then lived in North Platte for a short while. John and his brother in law, Charles Groves, ran a livery stable where the Fox Theater stands, and he also worked on the railroad for a time. A daughter, Melba was born in North Platte. They moved to Sutherland about 1903, ran a blacksmith shop and garage, and built the McNeel Hotel in 1914. While living in Sutherland he was Mayor and Fire Chief. John's wife Elva passed away in February 1923 and Melba in April 1923. He then lived with his son Charles and family and they all moved to the ranch, their present home in 1940. John passed away in October 1953. Emily, Bake's second child, was born at Darr, Nebraska in 1876 and moved with her parents and John to the ranch house when three years old. She attended school in North Platte and later graduated from the Conservatory of Music at the University of Nebraska. During this time, she practiced piano eight hours a day. Emily married Charles Evans, who came to Nebraska from Zanesville, Ohio and had worked on her father's (Bake's) ranch. Then they homesteaded a section of sand hills and later moved to their present ranch, where they lived until she passed away in February 1942. Charles Sr. passed away in May 1959. They had five children: Kenneth, Charles, Joe, Emanuel, and Melba (who passed away at age 9). Kenneth passed away just a few years ago. Emily and her children lived in North Platte for a time and also in Loveland, Colorado for a while so that her children could attend high school. Their son, Charles Jr. now runs the home ranch. His father lived with him after Emily's passing until his death. Danny was born in March, 1880. He attended school in North Platte and graduated from Agricultural College at the University of Nebraska and taught school. He also homesteaded a section of sand hills. He married Frances Workman in November, 1910. They had seven children: Everett, who passed away in the summer of 1920, Harold who passed away in September 1961, Merle, Evelyn, Lucille, Bob and Wilma. After living on his homestead, they lived on their ranch until his death in April 1956. Frankie passed away in February, 1966. Bob and Harold's wife (Loretta) own the home ranch. Maybell was born in 1882. She also homesteaded a section of sand hills and attended school in North Platte and the Agricultural College at Lincoln. She taught school in North Platte for several years. After he parents' passing, she and Georgia lived on at the ranch home of her parents and later moved to a home in North Platte. She passed away in 1956. Grant was born in Saltville, Virginia in 1884, while his mother (with John, Emily, and Danny) was back in Virginia for a visit. Grant also homesteaded a section of hill land. He attended the University of Nebraska, where he received a B.S. degree in Forestry and a B.S. for Botany. He married Mary Grimmet and had six children: Oliver, Barbara, Eleanor, Virginia, Richard and John. They lived on the ranch now owned by Francis Hengens, then Grant moved to North Platte, where he operated a hardware store for a time. He at one time served as County Commissioner. In 1939, he moved to Nebraska City where he served as Superintendent of Arbor Lodge until 1961, when he retired and moved to Greeley, Colorado, then to Denver where he passed away in December 1966 at the age of 82. Eddie was born in 1886. He attended high school in North Platte and graduated from Agricultural College in Lincoln. In 1911, he married Hazel Workman and they lived on a homestead in the sandhills until 1916, when they moved to their present ranch home. They have seven living children: Cheryl, Mildred, Clifford, Sam, Lee, Albert, and Bonnie. A daughter, Lois, passed away in 1943. She was married to Dr. Drost. In 1925 the family moved to North Platte, where the children attended High School. Then they moved back to the ranch, where they are still living. Eddie is retired, and Clifford and Russel Vencill (Cheryl's husband) run the ranch. Sam lives at the ranch and commutes to his work at the Court House. Mildred and her husband, Howard Trady, run a Laundromat in Ogallala. Cheryl also works at the Court House. Lee and Albert live in North Platte, and Bonnie in Minneapolis. Hazel and Eddie celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in January 1961. Georgia was born in January 1888. She graduated from Agricultural College in Lincoln also, and lived at home with her parents until their death. She and Maybell lived at the ranch a number of years, then moved to a home in North Platte. She lived there until her passing October 1953. Georgia, the youngest child of Bake, died on the same day as John, her eldest brother (the eldest child of Bake). Bake and Betty lived at the ranch from the time of their moving there until their deaths. Bake died February 7, 1924 and Betty five days later on February 12. At one time about 1905 or 1906 Grandma Betty with her children moved into North Platte to send the children to school. Her grandchildren remember her telling how the tramps she used to feed used to mark their gate, and incidentally at one time a tramp marked the porch of Charley and Jennie's house in Sutherland after Jennie fed him. About a month later Marvin found the marking which said "Pie" through the marking. Grandpa Bake also had a big apple Orchard at the ranch and people came from miles around to buy apples. He at one time was Lincoln County's biggest taxpayer. He was a great horticulturalist and the home ranch still boasts some of the rare specimens, such as coffee trees and sugar maples, to be found in Lincoln County. He was the President of the Hershey Bank and influential in Rosedale development. After their passing, Maybell and Georgia lived at the ranch and rented the land out for several years. They then sold the home ranch to T.J. Patrich and after his retirement, he rented it to the Bortner family for a time. The Gerald Sayer family now live there and several of us McNeels have regretted that we let the homeplace get out of the family
