Ferebee, 92, died Tuesday in a Hastings hospital where he was taken on April 2 suffering from a fractured hip. A native of Wisconsin, Mr. Ferebee first came to Nuckolls county (sic) in 1879. With the exception of two short periods he had lived ever since that time on a farm near Nelson. He is survived by his wife, Leona, three sons and one daughter, George of Eugene, Oregon, Herbert, Mrs. E.H. Moss, and Joe, all of Nelson. Services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Klawitter chapel following brief services in the Moss home here. The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, April 21, 1949 ======= Samuel Andrew Ferebee, son of Elizabeth and Samuel Andrew Ferebee, was born January 4, 1857, near Richland Center, Wisconsin, and died April 19, 1949, in the Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital, Hastings, Nebr., at the age of 92 years, 3 months and 15 days. He was the last surviving of a family of eight. He grew to manhood in the Wisconsin vicinity where he was born, and was there married to Leona Lorrayne Elder in June of 1881, at the home of his brother, George. The young couple started housekeeping in Wisconsin and the two eldest, of their four children, were born there. Leaving that home in the fall of 1883, with his wife and two babies (the least one 6 weeks of age) he came by wagon trail, in a covered wagon, to Nebraska and settled in the community 5 miles north of Nelson. Here the two younger children were born and this was the continuous residence, with the exception of nine years spent in Furnas county (sic), Nebraska. "Uncle Sam," as he was known to many, experienced all the hardships and trials; also the pleasures and hospitality of the early pioneers. He saw the green fields come after the "breaking plow," he saw the birth of towns, the coming of the railroads, the building and organizing of schools and churches, the laying out of lands on section lines for road-building, the change from "soddy" and "dug out" to comfortable frame homes. He was ever keenly alert, and interested in changing conditions at home and aboard. His home and family were his pride and joy as he energetically applied himself, through the years to improving the farm, growing good stock and crops, planting trees for shade and fruit. To know him was to appreciate, and marvel at this boundless energy. Advanced age and failing health forced him to cease his energetic strivings, though he was a familiar sight for years as he gardened with a hoe in one hand and a cane in the other. He was a man of honesty and integrity, a kind father, doting grandfather, a good husband devotedly helping care for his wife who has been helpless the past five years. He leaves to mourn his passing: his invalid wife, 3 sons, George, Eugene, Oregon; Herbert and Jo (sic), Nelson; 1 daughter, Mrs. Pearl Moss of Nelson; 15 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren, many nephews, nieces and friends. Funeral services were held at the Klawitter Chapel Friday, April 22, at 2:00 P.M., conducted by Rev. C.M. Foust of Chester. Jim Murphy, Charleen Adcock, Mary Murphy, and J.E. Portwood sang "Abide With Me," "Ivory Palaces" and "No Night There", with Mrs. H.H. Hite at the piano. Pallbearers were Jack Dehart, Joe Diehl, F.M. Harris, Ralph Harritt, George Herrick, and Ernest Wroughton. Burial was in the Nelson cemetery (sic). The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, April 28, 1949; pg. 7
