Message From the Chairman ...We would like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the committee members for it is their dedication and donation of time and effort that enabled the vision of a Saunders County History Book to become a reality! A big THANK YOU to their family members for any inconveniences, for time not spent with them due to the doorbell or telephone ringing, the noise of the typewriter, the buzzing back and forth in the car gathering stories or photos, and composing stories, and to Ernest Cajkas for letting us use their home for committee workshops. We really appreciate all the help and the very long hours of work. It is truly a labor of love. THANK YOU to all other people in the county and those with a Saunders County connection who compiled and submitted stories and loaned photos, to those who promoted the book, to the newspapers for publicity, to all individuals who put forth effort to complete the book in any way. Without everyone's cooperation this book would not have been possible, as we seek to cherish the past, cultivate the present, and create a bright future! THANK YOU ALL!!! Ruth Lindquist |

ForewordThis book is designed for all ages - young and old and for many future generations in mind. Stories were written from the forming of the territory to the present day happenings, stories of the early pioneers who left their comforts behind them and faced the terrible hardships of hostile Indians, grasshoppers, drouth, etc. of the rugged Nebraska environment. Their undaunted courage brought about Saunders County as it is today. This book has been written by the people and about people. Much concentration was placed on the years since the last publication of the Saunders County History Book of 1915. We will reach on into the future generations with hopes that this book will tell of our historical events that will enrich their heritage. There has been much progress over the years, but new happenings will insure a bright future for Saunders County. It has been hard but rewarding work, and our wish is that this book may become a cherished keepsake for each family, preserving the past for all who have ever called Saunders County "Home."
