Notes for FRANCIS M. BRABHAM:
This Info. is from York County Nebraska and its people by T. E. Sedgwick Vol. II The S.J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1921:


      A Man of well balanced capacities and powers is always a strong character and one who inspires confidence in others: he may not have genius or any phenomenal characteristics, yet he is capable of mature judgment of his own capacities and of the people and circumstances that make up his life's contacts and experiences. What a man does and what he attains depend largely upon his opportunities, and even-paced energy will generally will carry him forward to the goal of success. These thought are reflected in the life and work of Francis M. Brabham, born in Washington County, Ohio, June 17, 1846. now in his seventy-fifth year, living retired after the strenuous activity of a life on the farm.
      His parents were John P. and Docia (Webster) Brabham, the former a native of the stste of Virginia and the latter of Connecticut. Early in life they found themselves in Ohio, were married in that state and there brought up their family. In 1867 they moved to Illinois and secured a tract of land for which John P. Brabham paid eighteen dollars per acre and there, assisted by his sons, he broke the sod and cultivated the fields, finally bringing the place to a condition of excellent improvement and he and his wife there spent the remained of their lives. Befor taking to farming he had been following the trade of a cooper. Mr. and Mrs. Brabham were the parents of five children: Walter and Leonidas, both deceased; David, living in Decatur, Illinois, employed as salesman by a whoesale house; Dianthy, deceased, and Francis M., subject of this sketch. the parents were Methodists and loyal to the teachings of their denomination. He had always been an active adherent of the republican party and displayed a progressive spirit in community affairs.
      Francis M. Brabham attended the public school of Ohio in the acquirement of an education and in his early youth he learned the cooper trade and also worked at farming. In 1867, being then in his twenty-first year, he accompanied his parents to Illinois and worked at farming, receiving, as he asserts, fifty cents per day for his labor. In 1871 he purchased a tract of land which he operated for some time and finaly sold out, realizing a handsome profit on the investment. It was in 1882 that Mr. Brabham came to Nebraska and purchased two hundred and forty acres of school land located in Morton township, York county. He paid seven dollars per acre for the holding, proceeded to set it out to cultivation, improved and developed the tract as he went along, finally making it one of the best kept places in the township or county. His practical methods and his industry were rewarded by large crops and he gaxe careful attention to markets,and thus was able to dispose of his crops and stockto good advantage. He has had numerous offers made for the farm and has refused as high as three hundred dollars an acre for it. In 1910, feeling that he had earned a period of reposed, he retired from active participation in the agricultural affairs of his place, and since that date has been living in comfortable retirement in Benedict. He is a stockholder in the Farmers Elevator Company at Benedict.
      Mr. Brabham's marriage took place in Illinois, his bride being Rebecca Dieter, a native of Akron Heights, Ohio, and to their union two children were born: Carrie, Who died at the age of three years; and Ella, Wife of Fred Grobe, a York County farmer. The family are members of the Methodist church and Mr. Brabham is a stanch republican. Interested in the advancement of education, he served on the local school board for some years. He is a man of genuine worth and occupies a high placw as citizen, unstinted esteem being extended to him an all sides.
