From THE LEIGH (NE.) WORLD, March 11, 1949-

Much difficulty was encountered by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Weber of Madison on Friday and Saturday when they tried to return home from Schuyler. The roads were passable Friday morning when they drove from their farm to Leigh and after picking up his father and brother, Marvin, they went to Schuyler to attend special business there.

They were only able to get as far as Leigh, Friday, as the roads became so muddy and were compelled to stay in Leigh over night. Saturday morning, they had to drive south to Richland, then to Columbus and to Madison on No. 81, some 65 miles to make 11 miles the short way. After all that driving they were still unable to get but 4 miles from their farm by car and had to walk the 4 miles home. This took them the most part of Saturday to reach their destination.

From THE PAST AND PRESENT PLATTE COUNTY-

Melchior Jenny, a well known representative of farming interests in Sherman township, living on section 24 was born in Canton Glarus, Switzerland, on the 29th of January, 1852, a son of Rudolph and Magdalena (Aebli) Jenny. The parents always remained residents of the land of the Alps, although the maternal grandfather, Henrich Aebli, became a pioneer settler of New Glarus, Wisconsin.

Melchior Jenny spent the first twenty years of his life in his native country and then crossed the Atlantic to the new world, arriving in February, 1872, making his way to New Glarus, Wisconsin, in company with his twin brother, Rudolph. When a lad he had learned the cheese making trade and after arriving in the United States he worked upon a farm and engaged in the manufacture of cheese. After a year spent in Wisconsin he came to Nebraska in 1873 settling in Platte county, where he entered eighty acres of land. He has since engaged in general farming, and as the years have passed on he has purchased property from time to time, until he is now the owner of six hundred acres of rich and valuable land in Sherman township. He has brought his fields under a high state of cultivation and has an excellent property, equipped with all the accessories and conveniences of a model farm. He makes stock-raising an important feature of his business, handling Holsteiin cattle and Jersey Red hogs.

On the 4th of December, 1880, Mr. Jenny was united in marriage to Miss Anna Maria Marty, who was born in Switzerland on the 10th of February, 1864. They became the parents of six children, of whom one daughter, Rosie, died ere the mother's death. The others are: Mrs. Anna Dasenbrock, Mrs. Lena Weber, Mrs. Mamie Weber, Rudolph and Benedict. The family circle was again broken by the hand of death when, on the 3d of April, 1915, Mrs. Jenny passed away at the age of fifty-one years, one month and twenty-three days. She had been ill of pneumonia for only a few days and her death was a great shock to the community. She was widely known and greatly loved, and her first interests were ever her family and her home. She was also most loyal in friendship and was a kind and helpful neighbor whose place will be hard to fill and whose kindly influence will live long in the memory of those with whom she came in contact. She had many admirable traits of character and her life was filled with good deeds, endearing her to all.

In his political views Mr. Jenny is a democrat and has been called to a number of public offices. He served as road overseer for several years and for many years had the postoffice at Neboville. He was also a school director for twenty-six consecutive years and did everything possible to advance the interests of public education in the district. His life is guided by the teachings of the German Lutheran church, of which he is a devoted member, and his many sterling traits of character are attested by his friends, who recognize in him a progressive farmer and stock-raiser and a loyal and publicspirited citizen who in every relation of life is upright and reliable
