A skillful and progressive farmer of Dodge County, William Realph has had an extended practical experience in everything relating to agriculture, and is considered an authority on the various branches of this highly important industry. He was born October 19, 1870, in Dodge County, Nebraska, the son of John Realph, one of the sturdy pioneers of this section of the country. Born and bred in Ireland, John Realph left the Emerald Isle in early life, making his way to the United States, which was known across the ocean as the land of plenty, and for a time was variously employed, working industriously to support his wife and children. In 1870 he came by train as far west as Omaha, Nebraska, and from there, looking for a tract of good land, he walked into Dodge County, and having homesteaded eighty acres of land installed his family in a dugout and began the improvements of his newly acquired property. The country roundabout was in its primitive condition, and the wily red man was everywhere evident, while wild beasts roamed at will. Although somewhat hampered by the lack of cash, he labored with indomitable perseverance and not only improved a valuable homestead, but contributed his full share in advancing the growth and prosperity of the community in which he lived. His wife Mrs. Bridget Realph, died on the old homestead at the ripe old age of fourscore years. He is still living, making his home with a daughter in Custer County, this state. The fourth child in order of birth in a family of eight children, William Realph was brought up in pioneer days, and well remembers when Indians were numerous, and generally peaceful. Beginning life for himself at the age of twenty years, he selected the occupation with which he was the most familiar as his life work, and has since been actively engaged in general farming and stock raising and feeding, finding both pleasure and profit in his labors. His land, advantageously situated on section 30, Logan Township, is under an excellent state of culture, the buildings are in good repair, the farm well stocked, and everything about the place bespeaks the ability, industry and wise supervision of the owner. He also owns a half section of land in Colorado, near Julesburg. Mr. Realph is a good democrat in politics and religiously is not connected with any church organization. Mr. Realph married in 1895 Christina Larson, and into their pleasant home eight children have made their advent, namely: Mrs. Julia Bullock of Julesburg, Colorado; Harvey, Bryant, Edward, John, Mabel, Floyd and Norman, all of whom are at home with the exception of Mrs. Bullock. Harvey Realph, the eldest son, was drafted during the World war, giong into the Three Hundred and Fifty-Fifth Infantry, Company A, Eighty-Ninth Division, and during the year he spent overseas took part in various battles of note, including the engagements at St. Mihiel, on the Meuse, and in the Argonne Forest. Returning home after the signing of armistice, he was discharged at Camp Funston in 1919. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For The Uehling Centennial Book to be Published in 2006 By Harry H.
