HIBBARD

JAMES E. HIBBARD, dealer in agricultural implements, coal, etc., at
Utica, came to Nebraska in 1871, first locating in Lincoln, where he ran
a brickyard for the firm of More & Crone for three years, and, in 1874,
he moved to Seward County, and settled on the homestead which he had
taken up in 1871 in E Precinct, on Section 10, Town 11, Range 1 east. On
this he lived until the fall of 1878, then came to  Utica, and, in the
summer of 1879, commenced dealing in farm machinery.
In the fall of 1881, he added the coal trade to his former business, and
has since successfully operated both. Mr. H. was a soldier in the
rebellion, enlisting in 1861, in Whiteside County, Ill., in the Eighth
Kansas Volunteer Infantry, Company I, but after serving a little more
than one year, he was discharged on account of poor health, which
unfitted him for further service. He then returned to Illinois, and on
December 25, 1862, was married to Miss Elma M. Fuller, who was born in
Illinois in 1842, and died in September, 1870. He is a member of the A.,
F. & A.M., Waco Lodge, No. 80, and was married to his present wife, Mrs.
Mary A. Cain, of Henry County, Ill., in January, 1872.
