Zachariah was a land speculator who lived in Randolph, Nebraska. In 1886 he purchased some land a few miles east of Randolph for $21.78 per acre. On April 8, 1890 he sold a quarter section of that land, less a small acreage in the northwest corner, to Pacific Town Site Company, for $30.38 per acre. That company then laid out and sold lots, with Logan Creek as the northern boundary, for what became the town of Belden. His surname, Boughn, was considered for the name of the town, but it lost to the name Belden, named for Scott W. Belden, a railroad station manager assigned to the town at the time. (Source: "Belden -- 1890-1980," by Hazel Ayer 1980, page 1.) Contributor: Nebord (4886444) Zachariah also built and stocked a hardware store in Belden. His son, John H. Boughn, managed the store. Zachariah then built a store building just south of the hardware store. It was a general store, which was operated by Zachariah's cousin, Al Six. Then Zachariah built a grain elevator in Belden, after which his son John moved from managing the hardware store to managing the elevator. Then another of Zachariah's sons, Will, came to take John's place int he hardware store. Zachariah also built the first creamery in Belden, which was managed by J. Hensler. He also built several small homes for rentals in Belden. Nebord (4886444)
