the head of which, upon the left, you enter the council chamber and the committee rooms on the right . The building is a neat and substantial one, but altogether too small for the purpose intended.

"The speaker's desk is elevated two or three steps above the level of the floor, and likewise that of the president of the council. The desks are well proportioned and tastefully finished .

"The desks for the r epresentatives and councilmen are designed to accommodate two members, each having a small drawer to himself, and a plain Windsor chair for a seat. The furniture, incl.uding the secretaries' and speaker's desks and chairs, is of the plainest character, and yet well suited to the purpose for which they were designed.

The legislature was composed of a council of thirteen and a house of twenty-six members. It can not be said that a single member of this first legislature had a permanent footing in the territory, and many of them had

''We were struck with the singularity of taste displayed in the curtain furniture of the different rooms, which consisted of two folds of plain calico, the one green and the other red, which we took to be symbolic of jealousy and war-which monsters, we fear, will make their appearance before right is enthroned and peace established.''

"Joseph L. Sharp, president of the council of the 1st t erritorial assembly, wa:s a son of James and Polly ( Baldwin) Sharp, who resided upon a farm twenty miles west of Nashville, Tennessee. The Sharp family were descendants of Lord Baltimore and 'were early settlers of Baltimore, Maryland. One branch of the fnmily settled in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, · and of these, John Sharp, grandfather of Joseph L. Sharp, subsequently settled upon a farm near Uniontown, Pennsylvania. James Sharp, the father of Joseph L . Sharp, died in 1817, in Florida, having been engage'! in trading in mules and horses from the close of the War of 1812.

country beyond. The members of the first territorial council

were Benjamin R. Folsom of Burt county,

His property in Tennessee was somewhat encumbered, and Joseph L. Sharp, a younger brother, and a sister were left with their mother to make their own wav through life. Little is known of the early life of Mr. Sharp, but he was born Novembe;r 26, 1804, and February 26, 1826, was married to Matilda Singleton, of Virginia, a daughter of an officer in the Revolutionary war, who was born December 17, 1803. Soon after his marriage Mr. Sharp moved to Fulton ·county, Illinois, and settled at Bernadotte, a place laid out on land owned bv him. In 1850, with his wife and old- · est son, he moved to Coonville, Iowa, now known as Glenwood. In connection with J. W. Coolidge, Joseph Rawls, and Oliver N. Tyson, he laid out the town

of Glenwood. His first public office there was that of prosecuting attcrney, and he was for a time acting judge of Mills county. He was the first member to represent Mills county in the Iowa legisla ture, anrl. it is said that his legislative district covered about thirty counties, or about one-third of the area of the state of Iowa. In 1852 h e received a licertse to run a ferry between Bethlehem, Iowa, and Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Colonel Sharp went to Washington and submitted the plan of making two territories out of the proposed Nebraska territory , and upon the organization of the territory of Nebraska he was elected to represent Richardson county in the first territorial council, and was president of that body, though he was at the time a resident of Iowa. Subsequently he was appointed special Indian agent for several tribes west Q,f the Missouri river. Mr. Sharp was an active and enterprising citizen and was a lways prominent in political affairs. Before h e became a member of the Nebraska assembly, he had served two terms in the Illinois legislature, 1842 to 1846, and one term in the legislature of Iowa, 185~-54. He served in the Blackhawk Indian war, in 1832-33, and in the 4th Illinois volunteers in the war with Me;_ico; and was also in General Houston 's command m the war for Texas independence. His first wife died at Glenwood, Iowa, February 22, 1863, and November 1, 1865, he was again married, to Dorothy J. Arthur, of Hillsboro, Arkansas. Mr. Sharp was the father of six children: Illisanna, who married Wheatley Micklewait, and now resides in Jonesborough, Ark ansas; Emma Palmer, deceased; Melissa Jane married Thomas J. Palmer, Alliance, Nebraska; Neal J . Sharp, Haley, Idaho; J oseph G. Sharp, deceased; Ewing Smith Sharp, deceased. Joseph L. Sharp died at Memphis. Tennessee, in 1869, of yellow fever. According to Dr. George L Miller, "The territorial council was the more dignified a nd orderly of the two bodies, for two reasons: it was comp::>sed of only thirteen members, and they were mostly of middle age. A third reason was, perhaps, that the president of the upper body [f oseph L . Sharp] was a gray-haired man of perhaps s1xty years of age, who h ad served in the legislatures of other s tates, and he always~preserved that dignity and decorum which is becoming in a presiding officer of a deliberative body. It is true that he was a m odel president, and his rulings on knotty points of parliamentary law and order were invariably sound and impartial. . . During the sessions of the council he seldom left the chair to engage in debate. It was only when he was personally assailed that he did this. He was a man of clear head . spoke well, and with earnestness and force. Colonel Sharp was accused of playing high and sometimes low, with a cunning that was p eculiarly his own, for personal benefits, by m en who knew him well. No charge against him was ever made on the floor of the council, b eyond intim~tions . It was unders tood, however, that in the capital removal m atter b e 1 ft the legisla ture as empty-handed as when he entered it. He directed legis :ation with a clear understanding,

The first territorial house of representatives was comprised as follows: Burt county, Has9 ll C. Pufple, 2 John B. Robertson; Cass county, William Kempton, John McNeal Latham, Joseph D. N. Thompson; Dodge county, Eli R. Doyle, ]. W. Richardson ; Douglas county, \Vllliam N. Byers, William Clancy, Fleming Davidson, Thomas Davis, Alfred D. Goyer, Andrew ]. Hanscom, An-

and was effective in securing the pas sa)! e of ~ ood bills which were of general i11terest. When it came to sp ecial legislation, he may not have been w vigilant. Colonel Sharp never appeared in Nebraska affairs after he had served his term of two years, but his son, Johnson [Neal J.J, who had an actual residence in Cass county (the lather claimed to represent Richardson in the council), gained a seat in the house at the second session. When he rose in that body and made a mo.tion for the house to vote upon a pending matter, not viva voce, but vice versa, his disgusted father, who was visiting the house at the moment, nearly fell out of his chair from chagrin.''

In personal appearance, Colonel Sharp was tall and strongly built, oi commanding presence and state! y demeanor. He suffered from smallpox in 1852, which caused the loss of one eye, and otherwise disfigured his face. He possessed a kindly disposition, a nd was noted for his loyalty to friends. He is spoken of by his associates as a natural leader among m en, and deserving of the prominent place accorded to him in public affairs. We are fortunate in being able to present the only portrait of him extant, and which is now published for the first time.

I Dr. Henry Bradford , member of the council of the 1st territori al assembly of Nebraska, was a son of Cornelius and Hannah (Gay) Bradford, and a lineal descendant of William Bradford, second governor of Plymouth Colony. He was born in Friendship, Maine, in 1813. He was a sailor in his boyhood and became captain of hi~ ship when only twenty-two years of age. ' He studied medicine, was admitted to practice, and in 1853 moved to Iowa. He was a brother of Judge Allen A. Bradford, a sketch of whose life is given in this volume, and they came to Nebraska about the same time, arriving in Nebraska City e<J,rl y in the year'1855. In May, 1855, he was elected m ayor of that city, r eceiving 36 votes against 24 for M. W. Brown. He was reelected in 1856, and as mayor he entered the town site and obtained the land officer 's receipt for the entrance fee, March 31, l857. He was the proprietor of the first drug store in Nebraska Citv under the firm name of Henry Bradford & Co. He was editor of the Nebraska City News from November 14, 1854 , to April 12, 1855, when J. Sterling Morton succeeded him. Later h e was a contributor to the N ebraska State Journal for several years. In 1855 he was elected a m ember of the first territorial coll n ci l representing Pierce, now Otoe county. Dr. Bradford practiced medicine until 1870- in his later years in Omaha-when h e retired on account of failino- hea lth. He ilied in Omaha in December, 1887. "'

2 Hascall C. Purple, mem~ the 1st territorial assembly of Nebraska, was a~entof Council Bluffs as early as 1850. H e was born about !827. in M a ssachusetts. Little is known of his early life·, but it is supposed that he came to Council Bluffs, Iowa, from the state of Michigan. Upon the organization of the terr .tory of Nebraska he crossed the river and, with a party of friends, helped to lay out the town of Tekamah, anr1
