He is an agriculturalist of prominence in Knox county, Nebraska, and one of those substantial citizens whose integrity, industry, thrift and economy have added so much to the material wealth and growth of that state. Mr. Jewell was born in England, August 20, 1848, his birthplace being Liverpool. He grew to the age of seven years in that city, and then with his parents took passage in a sailing boat for America. The trip was made in six weeks, the small ship being buffeted by the storms which swept the sea, and by the time it reached its destination the passengers were exceedingly glad to once more behold land. The family remained in New York for about a year and then went to New Jersey, where the father spent eleven months working as a carpenter, which trade he had learned as a boy in England. The next location was in Ford county, Illinois, where the father followed his trade, and later purchased two hundred and forty acres of land, which he worked. He bought this land at $17.00 per acre and sold it for $37.00 per acre. In 1866, they left that country and started west in a wagon, arriving in Otoe county, Nebraska, after a long and tiresome journey. Mr. Jewell's father had made money on the increase in value of his Illinois land, and on reaching his destination looked around for a suitable location, purchasing two hundred acres of land in Nemaha county, and paying seven dollars per acre for the entire tract. Their first dwelling was a dugout, which they occupied during the winter. For a couple of years things went fairly well, then they were struck by the grasshopper raids, which destroyed about all their crops and put them back considerably in the work of building up the farm. During 1870, 1871 and 1872 they escaped the pests, but the following three years were visited with them continuously, and suffered a great amount of damage. The nearest trading point from the Jewell farm was Nebraska City, which was also their postoffice. They went through the usual hardships familiar to the pioneers of those days, but kept up a brave spirit, and as years went on and the country became more thickly settled, their trials grew less and they prospered in a large degree. William P. Jewell worked on his father's place until he was twenty-two years old, and then started for himself. He had learned the carpenters' trade from his father, and worked at that around Nebraska City principally. In 1892 he bought ninety-seven and one-half acres in Nemaha county, Nebraska, and lived there until coming to Knox county. In 1900 Mr. Jewell came into Knox county for settlement, purchasing one hundred and sixty acres of land from George Utley, an old settler in the locality. This was improved in good shape, and since Mr. Jewell has owned it he has added much to it in the way of buildings, groves, etc., making it one of the finest places in that part of the county. Since coming to Knox county, Mr. Jewell has purchased another quarter section, the northwest quarter of section ten, situated one and one-half miles from his home place. Mr. Jewell was united in marriage to Miss Anna Huptman in November, 1885, and to them have been born six children: Lyde, Arly, Nettie, Bessie, Maggie and Lawrence.
