Waechter Land was between Niobrara and Box Butte Creek in sections 30 and 31 of Twn 29 N Range 45 W On the 1914 Atlas, Waechter name still appears which may be because widow was still living in SE NE or maybe land didn't get changed on atlas. I haven't made it to Sheridan County anytime when I've been able to look at land records to follow history of the land past homesteading. Did visit grave of gggrandfather on one trip and was on a Marie Sandoz tour with a group on the other trip. On that trip Caroline Sandoz Pifer told me her husband was born in Richardson County. One other great grandfather also tried to homestead there - Karl (Charles in Farmer's Gazatteer) Friedrich. Last summer I created a slide show presentation for my genealogy society that I called "Did Grandpa Know Old Jules?" There is a small book by Mark Clapp and Rolland Dewing, The Mirage Flats Irrigation Project - A Pioneer's Dream Come True. In it is quoted from the Hay Springs Leader, "Notice to Contractors: Bids will be received at the Zogg Schoolhouse Saturday, April 25, 1896, for the furnishing of about 100,000 feet of lumber for the construction of a flume across Sand Creek on line of Mirage Irrigation Canal...." Oh, as I read further it says that the Zogg Schoolhouse was located at the west end of Mirage Flats near the cemetery. Is that a clue to what district it was? Is that the cemetery in section 16 Township 29 Range 45 or is there another cemetery nearby that I don't see on the 1914 atlas? The first one was attempted in 1894-1905. Final one was completed 1948. The book tells about the struggles of the farmers and the adverse conditions that occurred in the mid years of 1890s. Particularly interesting to me because of my family's involvement in homestead attempting there. Thank you for the response. Norma Thompson >
