From the Nance County, NE. web site from NE GenWeb Project:
Lorenzo P. Dufoe, retired farmer, son of Oliver and Lucinda (Dyer) Dufoe, was born in Rockford, Illinois, October 18, 1847. He was fifth in a family of thirteen children, and has one brother and a sister residing in Iowa, one brother in Minnesota, one brother and one sister in Boone county, and the others are deceased. The parents are deceased, the father having died in 1905, in Iowa, at the advanced age of eighty-seven years; and the mother died about 1859.
In 1858 the family went to Iowa, engaging in farming, etc., and on September 25, 1870, our subject was joined in holy wedlock to Miss Lovina Rearden, of Iowa, and in the spring of 1873 came with his wife and son overland to Boone county, Nebraska. They were five weeks making the trip, as it rained most of the time and the Elkhorn river was too high to ford. Here he homesteaded one hundred and sixty acres of land in the southeast quarter of section fourteen, township eighteen, range seven, which remained the home place until August, 1904, when Mr. Dufoe retired from farm life and moved to Cedar Rapids, where he built a good home which is their present residence. He has been prosperous and successful, and owned at one time nearly a section of land aside from good town property. He has divided his farm with his children.
Mr. and Mrs. Dufoe have had four children born to them, three of whom are living, whose names are as follows: Arthur E., who is married, has one child and lives in Cedar Rapids; Evelyn, is married to John Darling, has four children, and also lives in Cedar Rapids; Earnest L., who lives four miles southeast of Cedar Rapids, is also married; and Deloran T., who died in 1897, aged nineteen years.
Mrs. Dufoe's father, John Reardon, died in the army, and her mother died December 14, 1900, in the state of Iowa. One brother lives in Seattle, Washington, one in Iowa, and one, John Franklin Reardon, resides four miles southeast of Cedar Rapids, Boone county, Nebraska.
Mr. and Mrs. Dufoe are among the earliest settlers of Boone county, and have passed through all the experiences and hardships of pioneer life, and are widely and favorably known.
