Pioneers of Nebraska and Kansas to Meet at Bob Scott's.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 27. -- Early settlers in the territory which includes Nemaha and Pawnee counties in Nebraska and the two adjoining counties just below the state line in Kansas -- have formed an Interstate Old Settlers' association and on July 31 and August 1 the organization will have its first annual meeting. The gathering will be at Turkey creek, in Bob Scott's grove, a section which figures prominently in the pioneer history of the state and which is said to have been the camping place of John Brown, the Harper's Ferry hero.
Thirty years' continued residence in the territory is the requirement of membership, but everybody is invited to attend the meeting.
Governor Savage has accepted an invitation to represent Nebraska at the gathering. He will deliver an address before the assemblage on August 1. J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska City, Governor Stanley and Congressman Bailey of Kansas are also named on the program.
