Mrs. O. A. Himebaugh
Miss Elsina Canaga was born in Scio, Harrison County,
Ohio, Nov. 5, 1837. She came to Nebraska with her parents
in 1857, locating on a homestead near Fontanelle.
She was married Feb. 5, 1859 to Mr. O. A. Himebaugh. They went to housekeeping on a homestead that Mr. Himebaugh bought and proved up on. The farm was located 2 1/2 miles from here on Maple Creek. In 1870 they built a home at the end of the railroad at that time just north of Nickerson.
Mr. Himebaugh was engaged in the grain and lumber business there for a short time. The same fall on Thanksgiving Day they moved their house to our city where Mr. Himebaugh was engaged in the same business being the first to engage in the grain and lumber business in this place for many years. He passed to the Great Beyond Sept. 14, 1902.
Mrs. Himebaugh is the mother of six children, three of whom are living. They are Mrs. Fred Maryott, O. Himebaugh of our vicinity and Chas. Himebaugh of Yakima, Wash.
It has been 56 years since Mrs. Himebaugh came to our vicinity and about 43 since moving into Hooper.
She has seen many great changes in our village and people during all these years.
