(Newspaper clipping) Ellen Marie Throop, 83, widow of Henry E. Throop, one of Nebraska's earliest settlers, died at her home at 5107 Huntington avenue, at 6.pm Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Throop with their year-old son, her father Andrew Johnson and his family came to Nebraska in 1866. They bought up 160 acres of land with college script on Oak creek, near where Valparaiso now stands, and began the task of raising a home on the prairie, with only crude tools and material at hand. 130
