James Henry Teachman, son of Margaret and Luke Teachman, was born in 1856 at Hancock, Delaware County, New York. He came to Nebraska with his parents at the age of fourteen, May 16, 1870, arriving at Ashland, which was at that time the end of the Burlington railroad. From that point, they traveled west and settled on a homestead three miles east of Ceresco. During the next seven years, he received his training in pioneering and helped in the development of this new country by transplanting young trees from an island in the Platte river to the plains which now stand as silent witnesses to this pioneer's foresight.
In 1877, at the age of 21, he homesteaded in Rooks County, Kansas, near the Solomon River, at which time he freighted by wagon from Hastings to Stockton, Kansas. His ability as a magician and through his knowledge of music, both as song leader and fiddler, he gained the acquaintance and sincere friendship of his associates.
He came back to Nebraska in 1886 and was united in marriage to Emma Biggerstaff in 1889. To this union was born a daughter, Grace Jane. In 1893, he mourned the death of his wife.
