Uncle Johnny Davenport died at his home near Hubbell on Tuesday morning of last week after a brief illness. Mr. Davenport was an old settler and quite an interesting character. Last Sunday's Omaha Bee contained a fine picture of Mr. and Mrs. Davenport and the following interesting sketch of their lives: Another exemplification of the beneficial effects of a well ordered matrimonial alliance and its tendency to conduce long life is the experience of John S. Davenport and Medorah Polk (sic) Davenport, of Hubbell, Nebraska, who were married at Florence, Nebraska on August 15, 1847. Mr. Davenport was then 21 years old and his wife 16. He was a native of Kentucky and she of New York. They were in the Mormon train that followed Brigham Young to Florence, and claim they were the first white couple married in Nebraska. After the wedding they left the Mormons and went back to Iowa, locating near where Pacific Junction now stands. From here they made two trips to California and finally settled in Nebraska. In 1876 they made their home near Hubbell, where they still live hale and hearty. They have seven children, twenty-six grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren living. On August 15, 1897, when they celebrated their golden wedding with some considerable ceremony, "Uncle Johnny," as he is affectionately called, turned a handspring just to show some of his young descendants how to do it.
