Wm H. BACUS, teacher of Nebraska schools, Spring Creek township was born in this county Oct. 19, 1843, and is a son o John S. Bacus, deceased. He was married in 1873 to Martha J. Mays, to them have been born three children, - Minnie D., James H.M. and an infant, deceased. Mr. B has a very large and interesting school, - indeed, so large that one with the most unflagging energy and dispatch can scarcely do justice to it. He hears 30 recitations daily and keeps exceptionally good order, although many of the pupils are very small.
