Wittenburg, one of the oldest residents of Stanton county, is one of the first white children born within its limits. His entire life has been spent there, and he is closely identified with the best interests of his community. Mr. Wittenberg was born in 1870, a son of Julius and Ernslena Wittenberg, both natives of Germany, who left there for the United States in 1868, landing at New York. The father believed the west offered larger opportunities for the man with small capital, and located in Nebraska, securing a homestead on section eighteen, township twenty-four, range one, of Stanton county, which has since been in the possession of the family. He began at once to make improvements, and at first they occupied a primitive dwelling, which was replaced with a better one when it was possible. He and his wife had eight children, six of whom are still living. For some years after coming to their new home, the Wittenberg family were greatly troubled by grasshoppers that destroyed a large part of their crops, but they were triumphant over all difficulties and developed a fine grain and stock farm, and now have a comfortable dwelling. Upon their arrival deer and antelope were fairly plentiful and helped a great deal in furnishing their food. Many times they were obliged to fight prairie fires to save their home. During the early years of their residence in the state, the father planted fourteen acres of land with shade and fruit trees, and in many other ways added to the beauty and value of his estate. The family stand well with their neighbors and have many warm friends. They are among the comparatively few who have retained in the family the land originally secured from the government, and are well known in their part of the county.
