(Witness) BioG. W. FAIRBROTHER, Sr., editor of the Nebraska Advertiser, South Auburn, was born in 1828, in Henry County, Ind. His first venture in public life was to enter the office of the Recorder of Kosciusko County, Ind., as clerk; was here until 1847, when he enlisted in the Fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, serving under the famous Gen. "Jim" Lane, until the close of the Mexican war. Returning to Warsaw, Ind., he learned the printing business, and, in company with Gen. Williams, founded the Northern Indianian in 1856. In the spring of 1857, he sold out, and located in Appanoose County, Iowa, where he became a founder of the Appanoose Chieftain, at Centerville. Selling out in the fall of 1867, he located at Nemaha City, Neb., where he founded the Nebraska Herald with T. C. Hacker; closed out the business eighteen months later, and in March, 1862, he enlisted in the Fifth Missouri Cavalry, serving until June, 1863, when the command was mustered out of the service. Locating at Brownville the same year, Mr. Fairbrother entered the District Clerk's office; was elected to the Territorial Assembly in 1864, and was re-elected, in 1866, to the Constitutional Assembly. During 1866, he was elected to the Probate Judgeship, and in 1869 removed, with F. N. Fairbrother, to Tecumseh, Neb., and started the Tecumseh Chieftain. Sold out this paper in 1872, and purchased a half-interest in the Nebraska Advertiser early in 1873. He married, in 1850, Miss Celia A. Hacker, by whom he has had six children--Walter S. (deceased). Mary J. (deceased), George W., Martha (deceased), Dora and Mary C.
