From THE PAST AND PRESENT, PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA-

Emil Held, a successful farmer living on section 25, Bismark township, is a native son of that township, his birth having occurred a half mile north of his present farm on section 24, on the 9th of March, 1868. His parents were John and Margaret (Schneller) Held. The father, a native of Wurtemburg, Germany, was born January 13, 1824, and was therefore forty-nine years of age when he passed away in December, 1873. He acquired a good education in his native country and for five years was a soldier, serving as a sub-lieutenant. He emigrated to America in 1854 and became one of the early settlers of Platte county and one of the founders of the town of Columbus. He took up a homestead on Shell creek in Bismark township, and afterward purchased additional land from time to time until he was the owner of four hundred and forty acres at the time of his death. In pioneer times he became an Indian scout and fighter, becoming familiar with all of the wily methods of the red men, conversant with every phase of Indian warfare. He displayed great courage and loyalty in this connection and lived to see the day when there was little danger of Indian attack on the western frontier. He endured all of the hardships and privations incident to pioneer life. He had faith in the possibilities of the county, however, and persevered in spite of obstacles and discouragements, doing his part well in the work of developing a prosperous agricultural region from the wild prairie. He not only aided in the material development of his locality but also did his part in promoting the other interests of life, serving acceptably as school director and aiding in the work of the German Lutheran church to which he belonged. His political allegiance was given to the democratic party. He passed away in December, 1873, and his demise was deeply regretted by many. On the 13th of March, 1861, Mr. Held had wedded Margaret Schneller, who was born in Hessen, Germany, January 1, 1840, and came alone to the new world in 1855. To them were born the following children: Jacob and Gesene, both of whom died in childhood; Louis and John, both residents of Columbus; Emil, of this review; Mary, the wife of Albert Klug, of Columbus; Julius, a resident of California, and Richard, a farmer of Bismark township, this county. After the death of her first husband, Mrs. Held became the wife of Henry Schwartz, who was born in West Prussia, Germany, July 14, 1848, and died January 15, 1901. By that marriage there were two children: Otto, a farmer of Merrick county; and Frank, living in Shelby. Mrs. Schwartz is now living in Columbus.

Emil Held attended the common schools in the acquirement of his early education and subsequently was for one term a student in the Columbus high school. After reaching mature years he operated the home farm until 1893. Two years later he purchased one hundred and fifty-five acres on section 25, Bismark township, where he has since lived and which he has fenced and otherwise improved. He carries on general farming and specializes in the raising of shorthorn cattle and graded Poland China hogs. His work is well managed and yields him a good financial return.

On the 26th of October, 1893, occurred the marriage of Mr. Held and Miss Rachel Schmid, a daughter of Adam and Barbara (Baumgartner) Schmid. She was born in Colfax county, this state, July 19, 1875, and died June 8, 1911, leaving six children: Lottie; Elsie; Lily, who is in high school; and Margaret, Louis and Gertrude, all attending the common schools.

Mr. Held gives his political allegiance to the democratic party and has taken considerable interest in local public affairs. He has been a member of the township board and is now serving his fourth term as school director, his retention in that office being the best proof of his faithful and efficient discharge of the duties devolving upon him. He is an influential member of the German Lutheran church, of which he is serving as secretary, and in his religious faith is found the guiding force of his life. He is also a trustee and secretary of the Calvary Cemetery Association. Like his father, he has always been willing to do anything in his power to promote the public good and is recognized as one of the valuable citizens of his township.
