Bio

Thomas E. Twombly has lived in Nebraska since 1880 and in Custer County, where he is a successful farmer and stockman, since 1884. He was born in Brown county, Illinois, October 31, 1866, the youngest of the six children in the family of Calvin and Susan (Wiley) Twombly, who had four sons and two daughters. The father was a native of Vermont and died in August 1869. In 1880 the mother brought her children from Illinois to Saunders County, Nebraska, purchased a farm there, where the family remained until 1884. The mother then came to Custer County and took up a homestead on section fourteen, and section fifteen, township eighteen, range eighteen, on which she proved her title. With her she brought her three sons, William, Samuel and Thomas E., and one daughter, Mary. In the fall of 1890 she went to live with C. W. Bedford, an only son by a former marriage, where she died in 1906. He had come with the family to Saunders County, but came to Custer County to live one year prior to the others. C. W. Bedford and Thomas and Samuel Twombly were all original homesteaders of Custer county. Thomas and his sister, Mary, Mrs. Gallagher, still live in Custer County; William lives in South Dakota, and Samuel in Missouri. Mr. Twombly was born and reared on a farm and farming and stock rising has always been his occupation. In 1890 he secured a homestead on the northwest quarter of section twenty-five, township eighteen, range eighteen, and now has two hundred and forty acres of well-improved land in his home farm. It is well equipped with suitable buildings and modern machinery and appliances, and he is one of the enterprising and successful men of his community. He has a large number of friends and is well regarded as a substantial and public-spirited citizen. On February 14, 1900, Mr. Twombly was married at Broken Bow, to Miss Georgia Ann Shannon, a native of Green County Tennessee daughter of George Washington and Sarah (Frazier) Shannon. Four children have blessed to this union: George Ray, Jessie, Andy And Molly May Twombly Shipman all were born in Custer County Nebraska at home. He at a later date moved to Kansas
