The booklet gives Ernst Friedrich Schmidt’s birth as November 11, 1827, in Mentzinger, Germany. It describes three years of military training in his native country and a voyage to the United States in 1851, arriving at New Orleans after 64 days at sea. These details are reported by the family booklet; the place-name spelling and migration record remain to be independently checked. See physical PDF page 3, printed pages 2–3.

The account says Ernst worked on a farm after arriving in Fremont and purchased land southeast of Fremont in 1862 for $5 per acre. It calls the farm the “Schmidt Place” and describes freight trips between Fremont and Denver to help pay for the land. This is a family narrative awaiting comparison with land and other contemporary records. Source: physical PDF page 4, printed pages 4–5.

The booklet states that Augusta Muller was born August 4, 1849, in Marlenwilde, Province of Brandenburg, Germany, and came to the United States in 1869 with her aunt, Mrs. Fred (Augusta) Keller. It describes her meeting Ernst while working in an Omaha hotel. The spelling of the birthplace is retained from the supplied scan and has not been matched to a modern location. Physical PDF page 6, printed page 8, records Augusta’s death on August 16, 1913.

According to the family account, Ernst Schmidt and Augusta Muller married May 24, 1870, in Fremont, Nebraska, with a Presbyterian minister officiating. It describes neighbors celebrating at their farm home and the couple living in a one-room frame house southeast of Fremont. Source: physical PDF page 5, printed pages 6–7.

The family booklet describes a garden, drying vegetables and fruit for winter, roasting coffee at home, and making do through difficult harvests. It also includes family poems and recollections.

The supplied booklet reproduces two portraits together on printed page 10. Their placement identifies them with the account of Ernst and Augusta Schmidt. There are no separate printed photo captions, dates, or photographer credits on this page. The original arrangement is retained in this crop.

The printed caption reads “Jesse Marion Mead.” A handwritten note below the portrait appears to refer to page 25.

The web portrait now uses a higher-resolution crop extracted from the native scan. This is the same photograph, with no generated restoration.

The first numbered Clark page names Joseph Clark and his wife Alice Pepper. It places them in Dedham and Medfield, Massachusetts, records Joseph as a freeman in 1652 and a selectman in 1660, and gives his death as 1684. The page cites Medfield and Wrentham vital records and histories of Medfield and Franklin. These are the compiled genealogy’s statements; the original cited records have not yet been checked for this archive. Physical PDF page 2, printed page 1.

The genealogy records John Clark as born March 27, 1753, in Wrentham, Massachusetts, married to Relief Barnum, and deceased June 15, 1837. It describes service as a sergeant in Captain Asa Fairbank’s company during the American Revolutionary War. This is a claim in the compiled family genealogy, pending comparison with the cited vital and service records. Physical PDF page 3, printed page 3.

The Clark genealogy gives Aaron Barnum Clark’s birth as February 25, 1799, and death as June 2, 1854, in Goshen, Indiana. It records his marriage to Mary Ann Randolph on July 8, 1819, in Athens County, Ohio. The compiler explicitly notes conflicting birthplace accounts: Massachusetts in a census reference, and Walnut Hills near Cincinnati according to Mrs. L. Cary Slayton. The archive retains that disagreement rather than choosing a birthplace. Physical PDF page 4, printed pages 4–5.

The supplied page includes a table labelled “U.S. Census 1850, Indiana, Elkhart County, Goshen.” It lists A. B. Clark, age 52, chairmaker, born Massachusetts, followed by household members. A note attributes the enumeration to H. Morgan on November 1, 1850. This is a transcription inside the family book, not an image of the original census sheet. Physical PDF page 4, printed page 5.

The Clark genealogy records Leafy Francis Clark, born August 2, 1826, in Ohio, as married May 10, 1846, in Berrien County, Michigan, to Thompson Mead. It describes Thompson as a cabinet maker and farmer and includes an 1860 census transcription from Little Sioux, Iowa. This directly records a Clark–Mead marriage within the supplied book; it does not yet establish every generation between that couple and present-day relatives. Physical PDF page 6, printed page 8.

The supplied page lists forms including Mead, Meade, Meads, Meeds, Mede, Meed, and Meede. It discusses several possible origins and different family lines. These are notes from a compiled genealogy and should guide broader searches, not be treated as proof that every similarly named family is related. Physical PDF page 6, printed page 4.

The supplied genealogy gives entries for William Mead, John Mead, and Jonathan Mead, with references to Stamford and Greenwich, Connecticut, and Dutchess County, New York. It presents alternative birth years for William and cross-references another record for Jonathan’s children. The compiler explicitly says this lineage “could be ours” but that they have been unable to prove it. The archive retains that unresolved connection and does not present these people as established ancestors. Physical PDF page 6, printed page 5.

THE STORY of ERNST FRIEDRICH SCHMIDT Soldier – Gold Prospector – Pioneer Farmer As long as men love adventure and thrill to daring deeds requiring courage and integrity, the story of the settling of the West will be told and re-told again and again. Emerging from this story and standing in bold outline against a clear sky are the pioneers of the West. Affectionately their fellow-country-men regard them as heroes whose personalities have enriched the American heritage and whose vigor has helped shape a great nation. Ernst Friedrich Schmidt was born in Mentzinger, Germany, on November 11, 1827. After having served a three-year term of military training in his native country, he migrated to the United States. In the new world he carved a remarkable career as soldier, gold prospector, and pioneer farmer. Like many an adventuresome European youth Ernst was stirred by reports of America. He was encouraged by an American friend to migrate to New Orleans. According to this friend a lucrative venture would be to catch wild horses to sell to the government. The friend invited Ernst to become his business partner. The trip to the new country, which was made during 1851, proved to be exciting and even dangerous. It took sixty-four days for the old sail boat on which Ernst was a passenger to cross the Atlantic ocean. The boat was caught in a storm, the Captain lost his direction, and the food and water supplies dwindled to dangerously low levels. Finally, the boat docked in the New Orleans harbor. [Printed page 3] Disappointment awaited Ernst upon his arrival in America. The friend who had enticed him with glowing promises was somewhat of a scoundrel. The assets of the friend's “business” consisted of a chicken coop with a few chickens and several runty pigs. After a fruitless search for work, the young immigrant enlisted in the United States Army. Historically, this was the period following the United States-Mexican War. The peace treaty had been signed during 1848. Troops, however, were still stationed in this part of the country. Shortly after having enlisted, Ernst became seriously ill with yellow fever. He was so ill, in fact, that the hospital settled the matter by listing him deceased. Ernst encountered difficulty after having recovered. He was informed that a dead man could not officially be released. This decision necessitated re-enlistment into the army. Later when Ernst asked for government pension, he was informed that Ernst Schmidt had been reported dead. The pension, for this reason, was not granted. While in the Army, Ernst worked part time as a blacksmith. One job was to make an iron ring and weld it together around an Elm tree. This ring was used instead of a jail—the prisoners were chained to the ring. During their free time American soldiers relieved their boredom by staging cock fights with Mexicans across the border. Cock fights invariably turned into soldier-Mexican fights which enhanced the enjoyment of the sport and provided additional thrills. Young Schmidt became expert in making spurs for cocks fighting for the Americans. He was adamant, however, in his refusal to produce spurs for cocks fighting on the Mexican side. After all, he was an American. From Sunny Albuquerque, the company of men headed north toward Salt Lake City, Utah. The journey was marked with cold weather, poor rations, and even

In Salt Lake City the soldiers assisted in efforts to apprehend outlaws who had massacred and robbed a band of pioneers traveling west. No clues were discovered. The lone survivor was convinced that the outrage had been committed by white men dressed as Indians. The mystery remains unsolved. After his discharge from the army, the restless spirit of Ernst Schmidt beckoned him on, to seek his fortune as a gold prospector. He traveled north alone. His only possessions were a cart he had made himself, two ponies, and a mule. His skill as a blacksmith won him many friends among the Indians. En route Ernst met another lone travelor. There was something suspicious about this man. He had no possessions; no food—only a horse. Schmidt was forced to accept the company of his univited companion who, after he had extracted similar information from Ernst, stated that he, too, was on his way to Denver. One day a barrage of shots greeted the two men. The traveling companion was captured by the band of men who had opened fire. The leader of the pursuers looked Ernst over and advised him in the future to use greater discretion in selecting his companions since the man captured was being sought for murder. This leader turned out to be Kit Carson, famous scout and hero of American history. For a time Young Schmidt joined Kit Carson and his men. But the lure of gold was tantalizing. The trek north was resumed. One day Ernst was stopped by an Indian wearing a belt decorated with dangling scalps. From a dirty bag the Indian produced a handful of human finger and toe nails. Through the use of sign language, the Indian conveyed to Ernst that his scalp, finger and toe nails would be added to the [Printed page 5] collection next. Resourceful Ernst began to bargain with the Indian. Previously, friendly Indians whom Ernst had assisted with blacksmithing had given him a brightly beaded shirt. Ernst negotiated successfully: the Indian took the beaded shirt; and Ernst retained the parts of his anatomy in question. Finally Ernst arrived in Cripple Creek, Colorado, and staked his claim. After several unsuccessful months he abandoned his search for gold and began his journey east. Still traveling with his cart, mule, and ponies, he followed the trail of the Platte River. At Kearney, Nebraska, one pony was stolen by Indians. At Columbus, the mule died and Ernst sold his cart. He rode his pony on to Fremont, Nebraska, his future home. Ernst Schmidt began his career as a farmer shortly after he arrived in Fremont. He began working on a farm for $7.00 a month. An indication of Mr. Schmidt's desire to be independent and his love for freedom is reflected in the fact that although he could have homesteaded a farm, he preferred to purchase one instead. Ernst Schmidt did not want to be “tied” to a farm received without cost from the government. During 1862 he bought a farm southeast of Fremont for $5.00 per acre. This farm has been in the Schmidt family for a century and is still known as the Schmidt Place. In order to pay for the farm, Mr. Schmidt launched upon freighting between Fremont and Denver, using a wagon train drawn by oxen. Altogether four trips were made to Denver, shorter ones were made to Fort Kearney and other army camps in Nebraska. The freighters withstood vicissitudes of weather typical of the uncultivated mid-western prairies. There were no bridges over rivers and streams. Frequently it

Other times the freighters met with good fortune, such as frozen rivers. But winter also brought snow. They broke camp one morning during a storm and started for Denver, but before noon they were back at the morning campsite — they started again, and by late afternoon they had again circled back to this same campsite. They then gave up and waited for the snow storm to stop. Adding to the hazard of driving a wagon train were uprisings of unfriendly Indians. Nights were spent sleeping under wagons. Boots were used as pillows. It was not uncommon for the men to wake up in the morning covered with snow. The breakfast fare sometimes consisted only of frozen biscuits. Mr. Schmidt was able to pay his debts with money made on a load of corn which he had shelled entirely by hand and sold for 15 cents a pound in Denver. Freighting, however, was not always this profitable. Peeling potatoes in the kitchen of a restaurant in an Omaha hotel and weeping tears of homesickness sat a young immigrant woman. This was the first meeting of the hotel owner's uncle, Ernst Schmidt, and Augusta Muller. In Marlenwilde-Province of Brandenbirg, Germany, Augusta Muller was born on August 4, 1849. She came to the United States in 1869 at the age of twenty, with her aunt, Mrs. Fred (Augusta) Keller. Ernst and Augusta were married on May 24, 1870, in Fremont, Nebraska, by a Presbyterian minister. The bride was twenty-one years younger than the groom. The occasion was celebrated by neighbors and Fremont store-keepers charivaring the couple at their farm home. The charivaring consisted of singing hymns. [Printed page 7 — photograph of a seated couple] The couple moved into a one-room frame house on the farm southeast of Fremont. Ten children were born to this union. Three of these children died in infancy and were buried in graves near the Schmidt home. Their wooden coffins were fashioned by hand. The surviving six daughters and one son grew to adulthood. Augusta Muller Schmidt was a devoted wife and mother. Because of her youth, she was frequently mistaken for a sister rather than mother of her children. Times were hard and money scarce, but the family never lacked food. She was a good cook and managed on what was available from the garden and farm. She raised a good garden with many varieties of food. Each summer during roasting ear season she

Green beans, other vegetables, and fruits were dried also. Corn meal mush and fried mush were common dishes on the table. Coffee was purchased in the green stage and was roasted at home. At times, corn or wheat was roasted, ground, and used for coffee. Augusta Muller Schmidt died August 16, 1913, at the age of 64 years 12 days. Life was difficult, even hazardous for the early settlers. Farm implements were crude and inefficient. There were the years of the grass-hopper plagues. Grass-hoppers swooped down upon the land, darkened the sun, and stopped all of man's activities, even trains. Within thirty minutes, entire crops would be devoured by these insects. There were years of drought during which little was produced. During these years the ingenuity and thrift of the housewife were challenged. These early farmers also fought prairie fires in their efforts against a stubborn nature. A spectacular natural catastrophe was the blizzard of 1888, later related by those present with something of awe and wonder. The economic status of the settlers is of interest to modern twentieth century Americans. Eggs sold for 5 cents a dozen. Corn sold for 10 cents a bushel and sometimes for less. On one occasion Mr. Schmidt asked for a $100.00 loan to meet expenses. The stipulation was that 40% interest must be paid, and this must be paid in advance. The loan did not materialize. Frequent visitors to the Schmidt home were Indians seeking food. One day, the eldest daughter was in charge of the home during the parents' absence. Hearing a noise at the window, she looked and found herself staring into the faces of several Indians. The Indians were carrying large sacks and [Printed page 9] explained they wanted food. The frightened children were still filling the sacks with grain when, to the great relief of the youngsters, their parents returned home. Dead livestock and chickens which had been discarded by the farmers were salvaged and eaten by hungry Indians. Although such fare was repugnant to the white settlers, the Indians seemed not to have been adversely affected; in fact, they were reported to have referred to the food as “Heap Good”. Ernst Schmidt was a deeply spiritual man and had strong religious convictions. As a youth in Germany he had adhered to the Pietist movement. He believed that religion is more than a matter of intellect; it is also an affair of the heart and the life. True religion to him was an experience which needed the inspiration of constant Biblereading, and the experience must then reach out through the individual to the lives of others. Twice daily the family worshipped together: “At evening before we went to bed Father took down the Bible and read A portion of the Scriptures true To refresh our lives anew Then all would kneel And we would pray, To thank God for the blessed day That with His protecting arm He kept us from danger and harm. Then after breakfast Mother would proceed And from the Bible she would read To gain strength for every deed. Then all would kneel And we would pray And for protection would ask And well to perform each task.” (Original) Katie Schmidt Treptow, second oldest daughter, written at 87 years.

The tenets of the Evangelical Church appealed to Mr. Schmidt. Missionaries of the Iowa Conference of the Evangelical Church began preaching in Fremont. These traveling missionaries frequently stayed at the Schmidt home. There was no extra bed, but the hospitality was never questioned. Missionaries slept comfortably upon quilts which had been piled upon tables. During the month of April, 1873, the impetus to build an Evangelical Church in Fremont gained momentum. The Church was built and dedicated on January 18, 1874. Augusta and Ernst Schmidt were charter members and supported the church faithfully the rest of their lives. [Paired portraits appear on printed page 10.] [Printed page 11] Although a home loving man, Ernst did not neglect his civic duties. He encouraged the development of the public school in the community and served as a member of the school board. The school teacher boarded with the Schmidt family on more than one occasion. Ernst was respected by his neighbors. He was a strong advocate of peace; peace among nations and peaceful relationships within the community. He also worked on the original grade for the Union Pacific Railroad and one winter cut ties along the Platte River only to see them carried away by a spring flood. He loved nature and, even after his eightieth birthday, quite often took a two or three mile walk. On January 7, 1913, Ernst Friedrich Schmidt, age 85 years 1 month 27 days, died at the Schmidt Place near Fremont, Nebraska. He had believed in and loved progress. He saw the original sod huts of the early settlers give way to frame houses. He saw man gradually overcome nature's obstacles and the farm land become more and more productive. He saw his beloved city, Fremont, Nebraska, grow and prosper. He had a strong, constant faith in the destiny of America. “Enlisted as a pioneer to do what he could do. To the United States he was loyal, kind, and true. He has set an example for me and for you. There are yet untrapped resources of every kind, May we struggle diligently and have an open mind, Some work for pioneering we can always find.” (Original) Katie Schmidt Treptow

Corn meal mush and fried mush were common dishes on the table. Coffee was purchased in the green stage and was roasted at home. At times, corn or wheat was roasted, ground, and used for Augusta Muller Schmidt died August 16, 1913, at the age of 64 years 12 days. Life was difficult, even hazardous for the early setflers. Farm implements were crude and inefficient. There were of the grass-hopper plagues, Grass-hoppers swooped down upon the land, darkened the sun, and stopped of man's acfivities, even trains.Within thirty minutes, entire crops would be devoured by these insects. There were years of drought during which little was produced. During these years the ingenuity and thrift of the housewife were challenged. These early farmers also fought prairie fires in their efforts against a stubborn nature. A spectacular natural catastrophe was the blizzard of 1888, later related by those present with something of awe and wonder. The economic status of the settlers is of interest to modern twentieth century Eggs sold for 5 cents a dozen. Corn sold for 10 cents a bushel and sometimes for less. On one occasion Mr. Schmidt asked for a $100.00 loan to meet stipulation was that 40% interest must be paid, and The loan did materialize. Frequent visitors to the Schmidt home were Indians seeking food. One day, the eldest daughter was in charge of the home during the parents' ab- sence. Hearing a noise window, she looked staring into the faces of several Indians. The Indians were carrying large sacks and explained they wanted food. The frightened children were still filling the sacks with grain when, to the great relief of the youngsters, their parents re- Dead livestock and chickens which had been discarded by-the farmers were salvaged by hungry Indians. Although such fare was repugnant to the white settlers, the Indians seemed not to have been adversely affected; in fact, they were reported to have referred to the food as "Heap Good". Ernst Schmidt was a deeply spiritual man and had strong religious convictions. many he had adhered to the Pietist movement. He believed that religion is more than a matter of in- tellect; it is also an affair of the heart and the life True religion to him was an experience which needed the inspiration of constant Biblereading, and the ex- perience must then reach out through the individual to the lives of others. Twice daily the family wor- shipped fogether: before we went to bed Father took down the Bible and read A portion of the Scriptures true To refresh our lives anew Then all would kneel And we would pray, To thank God for the blessed day That with His protecting arm He kept us from danger and harm. Then after breakfast Mother would proceed And from the Bible she would read To gain strength for every deed. Then all would kneel And for protection would ask And well to perform each task."

The tenets of the Evangelical Church appealed to of the lowa Conference of the Evangelical Church began preaching in Fremont. These traveling frequently stayed at the Schmidt home. There was ho extra bed, but the hospi- tality was never questioned. Missionaries slept com- piled upon During the month of April, 1873, the impetus Church in Fremont gained built and dedicated on January 18, 1874. Augusta and Ernst Schmidt were charter members and supported the church faithfully the rest of their lives. Page 10 Although a home loving man, Ernst did not neglect his civic duties. He encouraged the develop- ment of the public school in the community and served as a member of the school board. The school teacher boarded with the Schmidt family on more than one occasion. Ernst was respected by his neighbors. He was a strong advocate of peace; peace among nations and peaceful relationships within the community. He also worked on the original grade for the Union Pacific Railroad and one winter cut ties along the Platte River only to see them carried away by a spring flood. He loved nature and, even after his eightieth birthday, quite often took a two or three mile walk. On January 7, 1913, Ernst Friedrich Schmidt, age 85 years 1 month 27 days, died at the Schmidt Place near Fremont, Nebraska. He had believed in and loved progress. He saw the original sod huts of the early settlers give way to frame houses. He saw man gradvally overcome nature's obstacles and the farm land become more and more productive. He saw his beloved city, Fremont, Nebraska, grow and pros- per. He had a strong, constant faith in the destiny of America. "Enlisted as a pioneer to do what he could do. To the United States he was loyal, kind, and true. He has set an example for me and for you. There are yet untrapped resources of every kind, May we struggle diligently and have an open mind, Some work for pioneering we can always find." (Original) Katie Schmidt Treptow Page 11

Johnson COWBOYS' PRAYER O Lord,I've never lived where churches grow; loved creation as it stood That day You finished it,so long ago, And looked upon your work and called it good. Just let me live. my life as I've begun! And give me work that's open to the sky; Make me a partner of the wind and sun, And I won't ask a life that's soft and high. as big and open as the plains; honest as the horse between my knees; Clean as the wind that blows behind the rains: ree as the hawk that circles down the breeze. Just keep an eye on all that's done and said: Just right me sometime when I turn aside: nd guide me on the long, dim trail ahead- That stretches upward towards the Great Divide. Badger Clark Poet-laureate of South Dakota.

Wourdint it be passible that land 'west of the Delaware' might be in the State of Pennsylvania? From New York State Library:- There was a Charlotte County,but it is now obsolete. It was formed in 1772 from Albany County,and comprised the present counties of Washington,Warren,Clinton, and Essex in New York State, and sections of Bennington, Rutland,Addison,Chittenden,and Franklin Counties in the present State of Vermont. It was named for the Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Stretlitz. its name was changed to Washingion,and as uhe seuule- ment of the frontier increased, subaivisions took place until the originial county was split up into the above named counties. There was also a Charlotte precinct in Dutchess County which comprised the present towns of Stanford,Clinton, and Washington. No one of these localities would have en mem te telam clmer mi meml meom e e m here any Somerset Township in New York State,except in Nlagara County. I wonder 'if the land referred to in Enos Mead?s will might not have been in the Charlotte Patent, town of 3ummit, Schoharie County. This land was on the Char- lotte River,and is west of the Delaware as statea in the will. There is a town called Charlotteville in this twp.

Iily bua rich and rare, Whose subtle odor in soft perfume Floated out on the evening air. The outer wrapping of palest green From the center fell soft apart While fragrant petals of creamy white Bent close o'er the golden heart I gazed on my treasure with pure ly heart in rapture With love for God,Who beauties Has fashioned for us below. A heartfelt yearning swept over me, I silently breathed a prayer nat He, who could, would render me pure In His sight as che lily fair, came over my thought In a moment stood full in view Of the rippling lake, from whose dark depths By water lily grew. In lancy I saw the tiny seed Drop deep in the damo,dark mold, The roots creep down through the reeking earth, The mother earth, Ihe slender stem through the slime Push on in its upward way, Ne'er daunted by snares of moss and grass, Growing stronger day by day.. Though tossed and beaten by wind It pursues its mission of love, 1Till it finally reaches the surface clear And blooms in beauty above. Then a soft voice whispered, "Through mud and slime snares of the world at large, If thou wilt struggle and still be true MEAD 83 To thy trust,and the Father's charge, When the waves of death's river as cold supmerge Thy form,and still each care, Thy soul shall in newness and beauty bloom As pure as the lily fair." 10 A ROSEBUD I hold thee fast thou dainty thing, Thou precious bit of coloring, Thou'st brightened up the world so fair, thy perfume on Till now thou half unfolded lie Within my hana.

Very truly yours, V.A.Geringer., Anna told her son Joseph, that she had a brother named Joseph who lived in Chicago, Illinois. I have been un- able to find trace of him in that city. Anna corresponded with her people who lived in Lurope for many years,but the letters, and addresses were accidently destroyed after her death, and before I be- came interested in research. No one of her children remember names,except Barbara and Josefa. A correspondent of mine, liwing in Chicago, informed me, that Kotnurova is Kotnour is the the feminine spelling,and that masculine.

Von Seggern v. Von Seggern Annotate this Case 244 N.W.2d 166 (1976) 196 Neb. 545 H. Dale VON SEGGERN, Appellant, v. John VON SEGGERN and Egbert Von Seggern, Appellees. No. 40365. Supreme Court of Nebraska. July 21, 1976. *168 Hurt & Gallant, Scribner, Daniel A. Smith, Beemer, for appellant. Neil W. Schilke, of Sidner, Svoboda, Schilke, Wiseman & Thomsen, Fremont, for appellees. Heard before WHITE, C.J., SPENCER, McCOWN, NEWTON, CLINTON and BRODKEY, JJ., and KUNS, Retired District Judge. BRODKEY, Justice. This case involves three brothers, two partnerships, and a family dispute. Appellant, H. Dale Von Seggern, who is referred to as Dale in both the record and in this opinion, brought this action in the District Court for Dodge County on April 19, 1973, alleging the existence of a farming partnership between himself and his brother, John Von Seggern; and also a trucking partnership between himself and his brothers, John and Egbert. In his petition, Dale prayed for the dissolution of both partnerships, an accounting and distribution of the assets, and the appointment of a receiver. John and Egbert filed a joint answer in which they denied that a farming partnership existed between Dale and John, contending, instead, that a joint venture existed as to part of the farming activities. They admitted existence of a trucking partnership between the three brothers. In what they term a cross-petition, but which is actually part of the prayer of their answer, the defendants also prayed that the court dissolve the trucking partnership and determine the obligation of each party to the other arising out of the joint farming venture. Following numerous hearings, extending from February 21, 1974, to July 28, 1975, the court entered its final decree containing many specific findings of fact and ordering "that the partnerships are dissolved and terminated in accordance with the findings herein and that the Clerk of the District Court make the necessary payments as set forth herein; that the plaintiff has no legal ownership in the real estate described herein and the costs herein are taxed equally to H. Dale Von Seggern and John Von Seggern." Dale's motion for new trial was overruled and he then perfected his appeal to this court. The record in this case is rather lengthy, consisting of 632 pages of testimony, 102 exhibits, and 85 pages of transcript composed principally of the pleadings, orders, and decrees of the court, and miscellaneous items. It is clear from the assignments of error and his argument, both written and oral, that Dale's appeal is concerned *169 almost exclusively with matters relating to the farming partnership, not the trucking partnership, and we shall likewise confine our discussion to these matters as assigned and argued by Dale to this court. In his brief, Dale assigns 14 alleged errors which he claims were prejudicial, but only argues 4 of them, all referable to the farming partnership. These are: (1) The court erred in finding that a certain farm purchased by John was not partnership property and in failing to require an accounting of partnership funds which went into the purchase of the farm; (2) the court improperly and unfairly distributed the proceeds from sales of partnership hogs and grain; (3) John did not comply with an interlocutory order entered by the District Court requiring the performance of certain acts; and (4) Dale and John did not receive equal treatment by the court in the allowance of partnership expenses and the disallowance of items of personal expense. It is clear from a reading of the record that most, if not all, of the problems that have arisen in this case result from the lack of inadequacy of records relative to the operation of the farm partnership over the years involved in this accounting action, as well as from the conflicting nature of the testimony. In deciding this case, we must keep in mind the general rule that, as in other civil cases, the burden is on the plaintiff in an action between partners to prove every material allegation and issue that is necessary to establish his cause of action, and general rules as to presumptions are applied. 68 C.J.S. Partnership § 130, p. 566 et seq. This court has held that in an accounting action between partners, the burden is upon the plaintiff to establish his right to the accounting and his right to a credit on disputed items. Barthuly v. Barthuly, 192 Neb. 610, 223 N.W.2d 429 (1974). By way of background, it appears that prior to 1965, John and Dale were associated in farming under a loose arrangement exchanging labor and machinery, and sharing the use of their father's machinery. Each financed his own operations through Production Credit Association (P.C.A.), Fremont, Nebraska, and each had his separate account. In February 1965, P.C.A. required that they merge their accounts into one, indicating it would not continue financing unless this was done. There is evidence that P.C.A. had misgivings about Dale's financial stability, and insisted upon the merger to make both Dale and John liable. Dale contends that he and John became partners in everything as of that date. John contends that there was no farming partnership, although there was a trucking partnership. The trial court found that there were partnerships existing as to both the farming and trucking operations, and this was not an issue in this appeal. No formal partnership agreement relating to the farming operations was ever entered into, setting forth rights and liabilities of the partners specifying their capital contributions or division of profits. The only actual evidence of this partnership were the records of P.C.A., which referred to their relationship as a partnership. The records of the farming partnership were principally kept by John and his wife, Billie Jean, on their farm. There is no evidence in the record as to the nature and extent of these records, although it seems fairly clear that there was no capital contributions account for the partners. Both John and Dale maintained checking accounts showing, among other things, the checks drawn on their private accounts in payment of partnership obligations. While partnership income tax returns were filed with reference to the operations of the trucking partnership, both parties testified that there were no partnership returns filed during the years in question for the farming partnership. The individual returns of the partners were filed purportedly disclosing information on income from the farm partnership and details with reference to crops and livestock raised and sold by the partnership. In the brief filed by counsel for Dale, it is repeatedly claimed that John and his wife refused to allow Dale to see the partnership books and records. This is clearly refuted by Dale's own testimony and admissions in the record. He testified that at one time he and his wife offered to take care of the *170 books, but admitted that there was no flat refusal by John. Later in his testimony he again testified that during an audit of his income tax return by the Internal Revenue Service, he had requested permission to take the books to his home, and that John refused to allow him to do so. However, he admitted that John and his wife told him that he could send a lawyer around to examine the books in their home, or at an attorney's or accountant's office. In any event, there is nothing to indicate why Dale could not have obtained the partnership records for use at the trial by discovery proceedings. Both partners had the right to, and did, draw upon P.C.A. for money, some of which was applied to partnership obligations, and some to personal expenditures. The record of P.C.A., received in evidence, show withdrawals from the joint account of the partners, but do not clearly indicate what was withdrawn by whom, and for what purpose. The evidence and exhibits relating to the partners' respective draws for the years 1964 through 1973, were hopelessly muddled and confused. In order to clarify these matters for trial, both parties stipulated to retaining an accounting firm to examine the available records. The accountant handling the matter for that firm testified at the trial that by comparing the loan balance sheets at P.C.A. for the "partnership account" with deposits in Dale and John's individual savings and checking accounts, and also the income tax returns for the individual partners, he was able to reach certain conclusions about each party's draws since the inception of the partnership, but he was not able to reconcile all the items shown on the records. His figures were accepted by the District Court and incorporated in its final decree, charging John with withdrawals of $108,643.14, and Dale with withdrawals of $74,145.93. Although Dale did not agree with the accountant's figures, he never supplied any figures of his own to contradict them. The trial court also accepted without change John's estimate of his partnership expenses over the years in the amount of $115,729.54. Dale contends some of the items were for personal expenses, but this was denied by John and his wife in their testimony. The court allowed Dale $56,000 for expenses, although Dale claimed the amount of $62,195.38 for that purpose. The testimony indicated that most of the livestock maintenance and feeding took place at John's farm and that he handled most of the disbursements for these activities. The record also reveals that Dale's income tax records and expense records were conflicting, and he also admitted on cross-examination that he had improperly listed certain other items as expenses. This casts some doubt on the reliability of Dale's claims. The decree of the court, among other things, also required that John repay the excess amount from sales made in winding up the farming operations, and allowed him a credit for feeding the livestock before they were sold. Dale's first assignment of error is that a farm purchased in 1967, by John and his wife Billie Jean, under an installment contract, was actually purchased with partnership funds, and is, therefore, partnership property. There is no question that the evidence fully supports the trial court's conclusion that the farm in question was owned by John and his wife. Egbert, in his testimony, related the conversations between the brothers about buying the farm, and testified that both he and Dale told John they wanted no part of the farm and that John would have it as his own. However, there was some testimony to the effect that John promised to assist Dale in buying a farm at some later date. Dale claims, however, that part of the payments for the farm were taken from partnership funds, and should be accounted for. We believe the court was correct in finding that the farm was purchased with funds drawn in the most part from the trucking partnership, which the court in its decree found was owing to the partnership by John. The downpayment on the farm was made by John out of proceeds from the sale of his own Class A, P.C.A. stock. The proceeds from the crops grown on his land were to go toward payment of the purchase price, *171 and, for the most part, were placed in the brothers' joint P.C.A. account, at P.C.A.'s insistence. Taxes were paid out of the transfers from the P.C.A. account to John's personal checking account. The history of this partnership indicates that various transfers were made out of the P.C.A. account to the partners' personal accounts with few records being kept as to their ultimate use, partnership or personal. Egbert was adamant that none of the advances from the trucking company used for the farm payments indicated that the farm was partnership property. Dale testified that he knew if John did not complete the installment contract, he, Dale, would not be liable for any payments and that the seller would retain the farm. The evidence indicates that, despite Dale's current perceptions to the contrary, the farm was not bought with partnership funds nor was it ever intended to be partnership property. Appellant's second assignment of error is that the court incorrectly determined the parties' shares of the proceeds of the sale of the partnership hogs and grain. In its decree, the court found that John had disposed of partnership livestock, cattle, and hogs, in a total value of $54,715.95, of which $41,785 was applied to P.C.A.'s indebtedness, leaving $12,920.95 owing to the partnership. Appellant contends that "by the arbitrary ruling of the trial court," in effect, all the hogs ceased to be partnership hogs on September 1, 1973. The partnership ceased operation as a partnership in December 1972, as found by the court in its decree. At that time, the partnership owned 293 hogs of various ages and varieties. The cattle and grain sales accounted for almost $14,000 of the $54,715.95 of sales. The court apparently attributed approximately $40,000 to hog sales for 1973. John testified that the proceeds were applied, as ordered, to P.C.A. indebtedness. Dale's counsel disputes this, arguing that, as is apparent from the P.C.A. loan summary sheet for 1973, $877.01 from a July 19, 1973, sale of sows was not applied to the P.C.A. account. It is true that the $877.01 is not credited as a payment for July 19, but the sheet shows that on that date $877.01 was applied to interest on the partnership loan. Few of the deposits in the P.C.A. account coincide exactly with the amounts reportedly received in payment for the hogs, as shown by the parties' testimony and exhibits. However, totalling and comparing the amounts of the sales reported by John, the amount shown by Dale, and the amounts deposited in the P.C.A. account, convinces us that the District Court's findings were correct. The court's decision to select a date of September 1, 1973, nearly three-quarters of a year after the breakup of the partnership, as a cutoff point for determining the ownership of the partnership hogs was, we believe, proper. Given the natural geometric growth pattern and the life cycle of the animals, a cutoff date was absolutely essential in order to make an accounting between the partners. The partnership was credited with proceeds from the sale of upwards of 300 hogs, which we find to be substantially correct. The final decree found $15,528.97 owed to the partnership by John as proceeds from grain sales which had not been applied to P.C.A. indebtedness. Appellant argues that the District Court allowed John to convert the proceeds of grain and soybeans, but cites no persuasive evidence of a conversion. Counsel for Dale refers to some 50 tons of ensilage also allegedly converted by John, but offers no proof of this allegation. John, on the contrary, testified that a substantial portion of the ensilage was probably used to feed the partnership cattle before their sale. In any event, the amount assessed against John for alleged grain sales appears to be greater than the amount of grain and soybean sale proceeds shown at the trial. Appellant's third assignment of error is also without merit. The court's interlocutory order of May 2, 1973, did direct that the excess funds derived from the sale of livestock and grain be deposited in a savings account in a financial institution in Fremont, Nebraska, "in the names of H. Dale Von Seggern and John Von Seggern in such manner that the funds cannot be *172 pledged or withdrawn without the signature of both parties hereto." While it is true that the record reveals that John deposited such proceeds in a special account in his own name, nevertheless, we feel that this is a matter that should have been thrashed out, if necessary, in a contempt proceeding in the trial court. We do not find that Dale was prejudiced by this technical violation, as the trial court adjusted the parties' rights by requiring John to pay the partnership the proceeds of the sales not deposited as ordered by the court. Appellant's final assignment of error is that he and John were treated differently in the court's decree as to the allowance of expenses. As previously stated, there was considerable dispute in the record as to the nature of certain expenditures. For example, Dale contends that the District Court improperly awarded John compensation for winding up the affairs of the farming operation, which, of course, would be improper. The decree, however, does not state that any such compensation was included in the division of partnership funds. In this case, the accountant testified that the livestock operation was evidently based on a fifty-fifty distribution of proceeds, but that he could discern no pattern in the distribution of the grain proceeds. Dale stated he believed that the entire farm operation was on a fifty-fifty basis. The trial court in its decree divided the total credit in the partnership equally between John and Dale, after allowing the approved expenditures of each. It does not appear that John was given any extra consideration apart from the allowance of partnership operating costs. It is possible, however, that since John's personal skill and services in managing the operation after dissolution resulted in additional partnership income, the court might well have considered that fact in apportioning the brothers' shares. In actions in equity, it is the duty of the Supreme Court to try the issues of fact de novo on the record and to reach an independent conclusion without reference to the findings of the District Court. Such independent conclusions of fact must be determined by the Supreme Court in accordance with ordinary rules governing the burden of proof, and competency and materiality of the evidence. Shirk v. Schmunk, 192 Neb. 25, 218 N.W.2d 433 (1974). We have also held that when credible evidence on material questions of fact is in irreconcilable conflict, this court will, in determining the weight of the evidence, consider the fact that the trial court observed the witnesses and their manner of testifying, and must have accepted one version of the facts rather than the opposite. Pinney v. Hill, 191 Neb. 844, 218 N.W.2d 212 (1974); Scripter v. Scripter, 188 Neb. 576, 198 N.W.2d 201 (1972). This court has also held many times that even when the case is triable de novo, the superior position of the original trier of facts is to be respected and accorded great weight. Crete Education Assn. v. School Dist. of Crete, 193 Neb. 245, 226 N.W.2d 752 (1975); Klecan v. Schmal, 196 Neb. 100, 241 N.W.2d 529 (1976). Counsel for Dale urges this court to remand the case to the District Court "to complete the accounting." As previously stated, the burden of proof in this action is upon the appellant. He has already had one trial on the issues. If additional evidence was needed and available, it should have been obtained prior to the trial and introduced below. While appellant alleges error in the District Court's accounting and requests further action, nowhere does he specifically indicate what the correct figures should be. The trial judge used great diligence and effort to bring order out of chaos and to adjust equitably the interests of the partners, so far as possible from the evidence and records before him. We find no reason to depart from his conclusions and, therefore, affirm the judgment below. AFFIRMED.

This is a source-based summary, not a transcription. The biography identifies Ernest Schmidt as born June 24, 1880, in Dodge County and describes his farm in Elkhorn Township. It names his father as Ernest Schmidt Sr. and describes an earlier life involving immigration, military service, freighting and farming. Continue to printed page 704 for the marriage and children. The historical author’s account still needs to be compared with independent records. In particular, reported immigration years and Augusta’s age at death conflict across the available sources.

This is a source-based summary, not a transcription. The page names Augusta Miller in the older Schmidt generation, then records the younger Ernest’s marriage to Anna Baltz in 1908. It names three children: Erna, Ernest R. and Alberta May. The later 1940 directory transcription explicitly identifies Erna Ruth as Mrs. Harvey von Seggern. Together with the reviewed census, these records strengthen the connection to the von Seggern branch. The older biography’s Augusta Miller spelling differs from Muller in the supplied family booklet; her reported age at death is also inconsistent. Those details remain unresolved.

The NEGenWeb transcription of the 1940 directory lists Ernest Schmidt with the matching June 24, 1880 birth in Dodge County, wife Anna Baltz, and daughter Erna Ruth, identified by her married name as Mrs. Harvey von Seggern. It records Ernest and Anna’s marriage in 1908 and names other children. This supports the identity connection between the Schmidt household and the later von Seggern family. The original printed entry on pages 291–292 still needs inspection. The transcription’s parental spelling and immigration year differ from other accounts, and are not silently reconciled.

The memorial page displays a portrait identified as Herman “Dale” von Seggern, 1938–2022, with the photo added by MrsB. The page was created by Rodney Carstens and identifies Dale as a son of Harvey and Erna (Schmidt) von Seggern. Use “View the source record” to see the photograph.
