1885 Antelope Precinct Census

There are only 55 souls in the 1885 census in the precinct of Antelope in Cheyenne County, which is now Kimball in Kimball County.  The town of Antelopeville was officially changed to Kimball after December first of 1885.  An article in the Sidney Telegraph indicated that the census count was not accurate.  A writer for the paper felt, and I feel the same way, that the census takers were afraid to go out
in the prairie.  Therefore the cowboys are the ones who did not get counted in the 1885 census.  Cheyenne county was later divided into seven counties (Banner,
Cheyenne, Deuel, Garden, Kimball, Morrill and Scotts Bluff.)  If you would like further information regarding any of the people listed here, please contact me.
