Description	:	Mirabeau Diogenes got his name as a result of his father's admiration for a French Statesman (Honore Gabriel Riquetti, Count of Mirabeau) and a Greek philosopher (Diogenes).

Read More	Mirabeau Diogenes got his name as a result of his father's admiration for a French Statesman (Honore Gabriel Riquetti, Count of Mirabeau) and a Greek philosopher (Diogenes). Mirabeau was the fourteenth child born to his 41-year old mother, 8 of which were still living at the time of his birth. He attended District 8 school, and studied agriculture at the Normal School in York. When his father died in 1906 he left 160 acres to be divided equally between Mirabeau and his only other surviving son, Frank. Well into his 30s, Mirabeau began courting thirty-year-old Elizabeth Amanda (Lizzie) Hogg (1877-1968). They married on July 6, 1910 (Lizzie's brother, Will Hogg had already married Jennie Nutter, Mirabeau's older sister). A daughter Pauline was born in May 1911, followed by a son in 1912, twin girls in 1915 (one died at birth), another daughter in 1918 and a son in 1920. According to family lore, it was two days after Christmas, 1918, when Mirabeau awoke on a Friday morning to look out the kitchen window and saw no smoke come out of the chimney of his mother's little house. He ran into her home to find her collapsed on the floor from a stroke. Mirabeau carried her back into the warmth of his octagonal house where she died the following Monday. In the late 1930s, Mirabeau badly injured his leg doing farm work. Badly in need of help, Mirabeau summoned his son Donovan from his studies at Kearney State College. The Mirabeau didn't recover for months and Donovan never returned to college. Slowly, Mirabeau began transferring his responsibilities on the farm to his son and, by 1952, when he was nearly 78, Mirabeau "retired". Within a few years Mirabeau began to demonstrate marked memory loss. A tendency to wander necessitated his confinement to a nursing home in Kearney. He died late in the evening of January 7, 1960 in his eighty-fifth year and at the same age as his mother, his sister Ellen, and their aunt Mary Ann. --information extracted from The Life and Times of William and Dinah (Ingham)Nutter:Prairie Pioneers by Michael Scheuer (2005)
