(Memorial and Biographical Record Compendium of Biography of Butler, Polk, Seward, York and Fillmore Counties, Nebraska)

Richard B. Brabham. - In the Busy community located in the thriving village of Benedict, York County, we find several energetic and thorough-going business men, who have attained success through their own tact, good judgment and perseverance. Among the number is the gentleman whose name heads this biographical notice, and who is one of the leading grocers of the place. He is a native of Ohio, born in Washington County, October 30, 1845, and is the son of Enos and Catherine (Humphreys) Brabham, both natives of Virginia. The grandfather, John Brabham, was a prominent planter of the Old Dominion, and from that state removed to Ohio, spending his last days in Washington County. The parents of our subject, who were wellknown farming people, also died in that state. They reard a family of ten children, four sons and six daughters.
In his native state Richard B. Brabham spent his boyhood and youth in much the usual manner of farmer boys of his day, assisting in the labors of the fields and attending the county schools when his services were not needed at home. In September, 1861, he donned the blue and went to the defense of his country as a member of Company H, Seventy-seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and among the engagements in which he participated was the famous battle of Shiloh. After two years of service, however, he was discharged on account of physical disability and returned to his home in Washington County, Ohio, where he remained untill 1867. In that year he made a trip to Illinois, and subsequently visited other western and southern states, finally deciding to locate in York County, Nebraska. In 1871 he took up a homestead on section 28, Morton township, which he improved and cultivated until 1887, when he sold the place and moved to the village of Benedict. He was appointed its first postmaster, and most capably discharged the duties of that office for six years. He also opened a grocery store, and soon succeeded in building up a good trade, which he still enjoys, his patronage extending over a wide range of territory.
On September 28th, 1872, Mr Brabham led to the marriage altar Miss Martha Tapp, of Ohio, daughter of Nathaniel and Harriet (Deacon) Tapp. To Mr. and Mrs. Brabham have been born two daughters, namely: Olie M. and Kittie C. Fraternally Mr. Brabham affiliates with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Ancient Order of United Workman; and politically is identified with the Democratic party, but has never been an aspirant for office, preferring to give his undivided atention to his business interests. In all transactions he has proved straightforward and reliable, and wins the confidence and respect of those with whom he comes in contact, either in business or in social life.
