Notes
a. Note:   JOHN GEORGE GAGLE
 John George Gagle was born in Celina. Ohio 9 October 1841. When he was nine his parents died leaving him homeless. He became a member of the German Lutheran Church early in life.
 [See notes J.G. Gagle re: death of parents.]
 John George married Martha G. Burke, daughter of Henry and Lucinda Burke. 22 January 1867 in Mercer County, Ohio. Martha was born 25 December 1845 in Carrol County, Ohio.
 Two children are born to the Gagle's in Ohio. Mary and Delmer. Sometime after June of 1870 the family left Ohio and after a short time in Kansas, where Viola was born, they came to Merrick County, Nebraska. They settled in N1/2 SE1/4 and S1/2 NE1/4 S6 T14 R6 in Mead Township. This came to be known as the Gagle Homestead. At this home five more children were born; Minnie Jeanette, Henry Elmer, Effie Arene, Hattie Jane, and lastly an unnamed baby daughter. Martha, or Mattie as she was known, died 23 September 1886, the baby died the next day.
 In 1887, John George Gagle married Julia Russell Wilson, the widow of a former Fairview Methodist Church pastor. At this time Julia had two living sons, Walter and Charles.
 To this union were born three boys and three girls; Bertha, David, William, Nellie and two that died as infants.
 John George Gagle worked as a blacksmith in Ohio. He continued this type of work for area farmers and also for people passing through the area. It seemed that there were always several people coming and going at the farm.
 In 1878, during a Custer County cattle range feud, Ami Ketchum and Luther Mitchell, friends and perhaps neighbors of the Gagle's, became entangled with the Olive gang. During these troubled days the wife and family of Mitchell stayed with the Gagle family. It was there that the sad news was delivered to Mrs., Mitchell that Mitchell and Ketchum had been murdered by members of the Olive gang.
 The Loup River was visited frequently by the Gagle's. They went to its banks to cut wood and gather wild plums. They also ice skated there. They were always cautious of the Indians in that area and on at least one occasion one of the men was chased by them.
 John George Gagle told of coming home with a wagon load of meat and coal. As he passed by some overhanging brush some type of large wild cat jumped onto the wagon. He threw coal at the cat until it jumped off. Obviously he could return to pick up the thrown coal pieces later; not so the meat!
 The Gagle's moved to the College Section and it was there that he died 18 August 1907. At the time of his death he had lived in Merrick County for thirty-five years. He was one of many Merrick County pioneer settlers that shared in the hardships of its early days.

  NOTE: In a letter to Jim Gagle, George E. Gagle Sr. of Joplin, MO wrote, "From a relative of mine in Neb.. I found that he [John George] made a trip to Ohio for the funeral of a Mathias Gagle but I don't know the year."
