Bio
In compiling it list of the citizens of Wayne county, Nebraska, who have become identified with the development of the agricultural and live stock interests of that region, a place must be accorded the name of the above mentioned gentleman, who is the owner of a valuable estate located in section sixteen, township twenty-seven, range one. He has there a comfortable home, and has gathered about him the comforts and many of the luxuries of life, and is reaping the reward of his years of hard work. Mr. Sellon was born in 1864, in the state of Iowa. His parents, William and Theresa Sellon, are of English descent, the family having come to this country at a very early date. C. O. Sellon spent his childhood and early years in his native state, which was then regarded as being on the frontier. In 1884, Mr. Sellon came to Wayne county and worked on various farms until 1891, when he purchased his present farm, and this estate has been his home ever since. The subscriber has met some of the usual reverses encountered by the settlers, but he is a man of great energy and has prospered through his persistent efforts. Since his possession, he has added many improvements to the estate which have greatly enhanced its value, the place being wild prairie at the time of purchase. For many years, he has given considerable time and attention to cattle, hogs, and sheep, and has met with great success. Mr. Sellon was married, in 1888, to Miss Maggie McNeill, of Cedar county, but born in eastern Iowa, and ten children have been born to them: Harry, Roy, Vernie, Ray, Gail, Mark, Ora, Arthur, May and Elsie. Mr. Sellon has always taken an active interest in till public affairs and has materially aided the development and upbuilding of the communtiy [sic].
