Supposed Her Father Still Alive
Friday James O'Kane received a letter from Mrs. Ella(Martha Ellen) Skirvin, of Agency, Iowa, asking for information about her father, Notley Dick, whom she said she had written to and was unable to hear from. She said she had written several persons here and could get no information regarding him.
Notley Dick was an old citizen of Kearney, and was sent to the county poor house almost two years ago. He died and was buried at the poor farm over a year ago, and his daughter, apparently, has not been apprised of the fact.
Notley's parents were John Joseph and Eleanor Butcher Dick and he was born in 1825 in Virginia. On the 1850 census he was a barkeeper in District 10, Cabell, Virginia. He married Catherine M. Cyrus on 20 October 1853 in Cabell Co., West Virginia. By the 1860 census the family was living in Alexandria, Clark Co., Missouri with daughter, Mary J. Dick and Notley was a day laborer.
Notley's residence on 1 July 1863 was Agency, Wapello, Iowa where he was listed on the Civil War registry as an unmarried man. Here he married Mary Frances Cross. Their children were Martha Ellen (10 March 1867), Valaria (1869) and John M.(1871).
Notley filed on a homestead in Buffalo County, Nebraska on July 10, 1874 being one of the early settlers in Loup Township. His homestead was SE4 of Section 15, T12, R16. His family consisted of 5 children of which a portion were living with him. He constructed a log house 14'X16', had a well, sod stable, and had 80 acres of land broken and cultivated by 29 November 1879 when he received his final certificate. He raised wheat, corn, oats, and potatoes on this land. He was able to survive the grasshopper plague of the mid 1870's.
Rosa M. Phifer Scoles and Notley were married 16 January 1880 in Buffalo County, Nebraska. Rosa and Notley were living on the homestead on the 1880 census along with his son John and her children Charles, Clarence, Flora, and Iris Scoles.
In August of 1890, Notley bought Lots 1158-1159-1160-1161 in Kearney. On the 1900 census Rosa was listed as a widow and lived at 901 Avenue C. It is unknown why Notley would be at the Poor Farm when he owned this residence and his wife was still living nor why his children weren't notified of his death.
