Note: Amos Shattuck was born in (Yates Co.) New York in 1830, and Elizabeth Thackery in 1850, in Indiana. They had the following children: Mrs. Emma Harpham, who is deceased; Mrs. Abby Mott, who lives in Iowa; Eugene G., employed in the freight department of the Burlington Railroad at Hastings; and Amos Henry, who resides at Cairo, NE.
Amos Shattuck went to Indiana in early manhood and from there to Minnesota prior to 1870, and in 1872 removed with his family to Adams County, Nebraska. He homesteaded there and acquired a forty acre tree claim, the latter being of note because it was one of the very few that proved profitable.
While he resided on his farm he made many improvements although, like his neighbors, he suffered hardship and loss at times. particularly from the violent wind storms that swept over the level prairie. His son, Amos Henry Shattuck recalls one of these furious storms during his boyhood, on which occasion the barn was blown entirely away and the family horses had to be brought into the house with the fairy until its violence subsided.
Amos Shattuck set out trees, and did his part in bringing about the changed conditions that now prevail, Amos Henry Shattuck remembered the early conditions and the first tree planted in Adams County. Amos Shattuck, retired from the farm he settled in the village of Juniata, where he lived the rest of his life. He was a man of sterling character, a faithful member of the Dunkard church, and so trustworthy in public affairs that his fellow citizens elected him to many political offices. At the time of his death he owned a large body of land and across his farm lay the old California trail.
