John Hopwood Mickey is a native of the Hawkeye state, honi six miles west of Burlington, Iowa, Septeniljer 30, 1845. His father, Oliver Perry Mickey, was a pioneer in Iowa, locating there in 18;)(). His niothei' in jiuxidenhood was Betsy Ann Davison, of English extraction. In 1847, two years after the hirtli of Governor Mickey, the family removed to Louisa county, Iowa, and there in the common schools of tlie day, the governor to be received his early education, well directed by careful parents who zealously guarded the moral environments of their growing children. In 1863 Governor Mickey enlisted as a private in Company I), 8th Iowa cav- alry, and until the close of the war, with his regiment was in service in eastern Tennessee and with Sherman in his campaign until the surrender of Atlanta, and with Hood and Thomas in their Tennessee campaign. He was honorably mustered out of service in August, 1865. He returned to his Iowa home and for tw^o years was a student at Wesleyan college at Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Upon leaving college, he engnged in school teach- ing and during the vacation periods he devoted himself to farming. On September 10, 186V, he was married to Miss Morinda McGray of Des Moines county, Iowa. One year after with his worldly wealth, the mater- ial part of which he loaded into a prairie schooner, he set out for Polk county, Nebraska, and on the :'>rd of September, 1868, he had reached the banks of the Blue river and there tiled upon a homestead. At that time there was only one family living in Polk county, though quite a number of claims had been taken up by homesteaders. (4overm)r Mickey remained upon his homestead until November, 1872, when he removed to Osceola, tlien a town consisting of a court-house ami a small store. The town could not, at that time, boast of a tirst settler as there was not a single residence in the town and thei-e was much interest attached to who should be the tirst settler. 'Slv. Mickey, with his wife, their baby, and a two-horse team and lumber wagon laden with household effects, starled i'or tlic town and at tlic same 1 iiiic anollicr [lionccr, \V. F.

Governor xMickey is a nieniher of tlie .Aletlnxlist church at Osceola, has l)een a trustee of his church for many years and su|ierintendent of the Sunday school. In the support of his church and in matters of charity he has always been unostentatiously liberal. The church at Osceola was erected at a cost of *1-",,0U0, toward which amount (Governor Mickey donated *:),U0(). Within the last dozen years he has contributed more than -t^lUooo to the Wesleyan University at Lin- coln, and there is hardly a state enterprise of his church in Nebraska toward which he has not i-iven liberally, includinu- a subscription of ^-"lOO to assist in the erection of the Methodist hospital at Omaha. While he is a staunch sui)iiorter of his own church, he is liberal in assisting other denoniiiKitions and is In'oad-minded in his i-eliyious views. For some years he has been the president of the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska Wesleyan ITniversity at University Place neai- Lincoln. Governor Mickev has been twice married. His first wife died Decem- ber 28, 1SS(), leaving him five chihhHMi. On Dec. s, 1 SS7, he was married to Flora C. Campbell, of Norden, Nebraska, who is the mother of four of his children, his family consistinu- of nine, all of whom are living-— five boys and four girls. The eldest son is Oliver E. Mickey, thirty-three yearsof age, and isthecishier of his father's bank. Harlan A., age thirty- one, of Keya Paha county, and Kvan S., age twenty-nine, wdio is his fath- er's chief clerk. The eldest daughter, Bertha K., is the wife r work. He was horn at EauGalla, AViseoiisiii, February 10, IS.")!). Ills father, John Mc(Tilton, was born at :Moores, Clinton county, New York, and spent his boyhood days in Canada. In ls.-)4 lie removed from Canada east to northern Wisconsin, wliere he was one of the pioneers and where he conunenced in the lumber trade, operatint>- a number of saw mills. The mother of Lieutenant Gov- ernor Me(4ilton, in maidenhood, was Gracia Eleanor Burke. Both ])arents were of sturdy stock and of strong character. On his maternal side Governor McCxilton descends from one of the oldest families in America, founded by Kichard l>urke of Sudbury, Massachusetts, who was born al)out KUO, and died at Sudbury about 109:^. His oldest son was also named Kichard and his son Jonathan was born at Stow, Massachusetts, in January, 17U1. and died at Windsor, Vermont, May 18, 1875. Jonathan married Thankful Wait, May 10, 1731, and ten children were born of this union, Jesse Burke being the fourth child. He was l)orn at Brookiield, Massachusetts, April 8, 1V:}8, and was one of the pioneer settlers at Win- chester, Vermont. He raised the first military organization in that vicinity of which there is any record, and of which he became captain. This was prior to the commencement of the Revolution. Captain Burke was a close friend of Ethan Allen and his house tiie quarters of the latter. Captain Burke served with distinction in the Revolution, and died Janu- arv -20, 1811, aged seventy-three years. His remains were interred in the old o-rave-yard at Winchester. The youngest son of Captain Burke was P^ligah Burke, born at Westminister, Vermont, March :5, 1774, and died March •_'!, 184:;. He was a farmer, and was among the first to introduce the raising of Merino sheep in Vermont. He married (4race Jeifers in September, 170."). One of his sons was Edmund liurke, born January '2:5, 180'.i, who l)ecanie prominent as a lawyer and editor and served three terms in the United States Congress, and under President l*olk was Com- missioner of Patents for four years. Another son of Eligah Burke was M'hales, born in Westminister, Vermont, January ;31, 1811, married Mar- garet Cascaden, October :50, 18:U, and became a pioneer settler in Eau (ialla, Dunn county, Wisconsin. The first daughter born of this union was (Jracia Kleanoi-, the mother of Tiieutenant CJovernor Mc(4ilton, wli was the second born of a family of ft)ur children. Edmund (i. Mc(Tilton i-eceived a thorough education in public and pri- vate schools, entered the I'niversity of Wisconsin at Madison, and in 1883, was graduated in the litei-arv and classical courses. He then o 12 entered tlie law school of the same university and was graduated therefrom in 1885. Immediately after his graduation and adnxission to the bar he engaged with the receiver of the Northwestern Car Co., at Stillwater, Minnesota, and was employed in the collection and security department, where he remained until January, 1888, when he removed to Omaha, Nebraska, and there, with a classmate, II. P. Stoddai-d, opened up an office and commenced actively in the practice of law. ^Vt the end of two years this partnersliij) was dissolved and Mr. McGilton was alone in prac- tice until 1892, when he formed a co-partnership with Cavanaugh and Thomas under the firm name of Cavanaugh, Thomas & Mc(Tilton. This |)artnership was dissolved in 1894, Mr. McGilton withdrawing, and a year later, he joined the firm of McCabe & Elmer, and until 188V tlie firm was known as McCabe, McGilton & Elmer. The latter year Mr. McGilton purchased the interests of his partners and since then has been attending to iiis practice alone. Mr. McGilton has been more than ordi- narily successful as a lawyer, and is one of the tax-payers in Omaha, where he owns a pleasant home. For some years he has been a member of the Omaha Commercial Club, and for one year was a member of the Executive Committee of the same. lie is a Mason, a Knight Temi)lar and Shriller, and a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He inherited his Kepublicanism from his father and has always been an ardent supporter of his party's j^rinciples. He has never been an office-seeker. The only office he ever held, and one which was not a sine- cure was superintendent of schools at Menominie, Wisconsin, which posi- tion he occupied for one year, with twenty-two teachers under his control. This was ])rior to his graduation from the I'^niversity of Wisconsin. He lias never held a state or county office until he was elected Lieutenant Governor of the State of Nel>raska. Ijieutenant (Tovernor Mc(Tilton was married in .Vpril, 1889, to Lina A. Williams, and has but one child, a daughter. (;k()K(;k w. maksii. George W.

In 1880 Mr. Weston was admitted to the bai' 1)\ the I llimds Siipi-cme Court, and for some years pi'acticed law in (.diicago. In 18st Mr. Weston Itecame a residentof \\ashingt-on Territory, and there, tor a while, was t he eilitor id' the Lewis County IJee, In 188(i he settled in Nebraska and, for some years, lias nmde his home at Hay Springs, in Sheridan count \. where he is engaged extensively in stock- raising.

In 18'.*;; he was elected ;i Kegent of tlu' rniveisity of Nt-braska, 14 a position wliicli lie tillol witii iii^li satisfaction to tlie ]km>ii1c and tin' people of tlu' state. Mr. \Vest()ii has \)vvn an at'tive iactoi- in Kepubliean politics in Nebraska and in a local way, has been prominent on the School and ^"illag•e Board at llay Sprinus. Ilis re-election to the office of Auditor was by ;i laryely increased majority, which bears evidence to the satisfac- tion lie has given as a public servant of the people of the state. Mr. Weston's family consists of a wife and one daughter fonrteen years of age, whose education is being carefully loid4. His early education he received in the public ami grammar schools of New York City, and graduated in I87tt with the high, est honors of his class and entered the College of the City of New York, standing si.vth in rank out of about twelve huiuli-ed ajiplicants. In this 15 college he stu(lie(l for one yeai-. then entered the enii»loy of ;v commercial tiriu in New ^'ork City, with which he continued until ISSo, when he located in Nel)rask;i, joining his hrothers, who were farmers in Dodge county, near Xorlh Bend. In the fall after his arrival, he hegan teaching a district school in the southwestern ])art of Dodge county, and for two years school teaching was his occupation in Dodge county. He then entered Monmouth College, Illinois, where he spent one year in study. In the s|)ring of 1886, Mr. Fowler was elected principal of schools at Scribner, Nebraska, where he taught until December, 1887, when a severe epidemic of diphtheria necessitated the closing of the schools for an indefinite period, w^iich allowed Mr. Fowler to visit Scotland and England during the year 1888. \VIiiIe on this visit he took a special course in the University of Edinburgh, lie returned to Nebraska in the spring of 1889 and became the publisher and editor of the Scribner News and later of the North Bend Argus. In August, 1800, he was unanimously called by the Scribner Board of Education to again assume the principal- ship of the Scribner schools, a position which he held for three consecutive years, giving such administration of school affairs as permanently fixed his standing among the leading educators of the State of Nebraska. In the summer of 1893, with many competitors in the field, lie was unanimously chosen Supei'intendeiit of the Blair city schools and, after two years of service, the Board of Education of the City of Blair expressed their high satisfaction with his work by re-electing him for a period of three years and increasing his salary $100 per year. Again in 1898, he was re-elected for another three-year term, but his i-eputation as an educator became known so well outside the limits of Dodge and Washington counties that wluMi the Ivcpublican state convention met in 1900, he was selected for the nomination of State Superintendent of Public Instruction and elected to the office by a plurality of about 4,000 votes. Two years in this office resulted in such an im]»rovement in the conditions of the school system in Nebraska that he was the unanimous choi(H' of his party''s convention in 1902, and at the ensuing election In- was returned to office by the handsome plurality of 1(j,27l' votes, which is evidence of the high estimation in which he is held by the people of Nebi'aska and is an expression of their hearty approval and appreciation of the adinii-able work he has accom- plished along educational lines and in elevating the standing of the public schools of Nebraska. Superintendent Fowler for two years has served as president of the High School section ol the Nebraska State Teacher's Association. For two 1(3 years lie was clerk of the Educational Council of which he is slill a mem- ber, and for three years was a memher of the Kxeculivc Committee of the State Teachei-s'' jVssociation.
