Read More	Printed article by James Kinney Pioneer Days Here I first came to Lincoln, Nebraska in October, 1871, which was then a rather small town, and I remained there until the spring of 1873, when my father and I, I being a boy at that time of 15 years of age, left Lincoln to come to Franklin county. We remained here that summer, making a home and putting out some crops, and returned to Lincoln in the fall to bring the rest of the family to their new home. This new home was a dugout close to the Little Blue, where the town of Campbell now stands. The trip from Lincoln was made with two yoke of oxen, and three teams of horses. It took seven or eight days to make the journey. A good crop of corn was raised the first year and life in the new home looked good, but the following year of '74 the grasshoppers came in clouds darkening the sun and settling on all things green, eating the entire crop and even the leaves from the trees. The following years of '75 the grasshoppers did no harm and again the crops were good, but in 1876 the grasshoppers destroyed the crops again. Thus, these first years brought some joy and many hardships to the beginners of Franklin county. .........A great many Indians came past our place those first years, often camping for several days nearby, but they were always friendly and did no harm. During the years of 1877 and 1878 there was a terrible epidemic of diphtheria, during which time most all the children up to the ages of 16 or 17 died. At this time two of my younger brothers and a sister died within three weeks. The only doctors available were Dr. Hollenbeck, a country doctor, who lived a few miles distant, or a doctor who came from Riverton.......... ........During the spring of 1879 I took a homestead in North Franklin township and moved into a sod house and batched there until that fall when I was married to Martha Place, a young lady who had come to Nebraska from Ohio in 1878. Hastings and Riverton were our nearest trading points until 1886 when the town of Campbell was started. ...........James Kinney
