At the Hi Smith farm the road branched to Nevin, crossing Middle River at the Wight bridge and going through the present Hebron — then Schwens and later Busby's. Those who crossed the Missouri at Ne- braska City or Brownsville went that way. The spring at the city wells was the first camping place for the movers. They used to cut the bridge and steal the rails from the fence for their fires. At Baugh Branch and at Wight's many of them camped. The farmers alorig the road had all come to this cou...ntry in covered wagons and they gave hundreds of tons of hay, and hundreds of bushels of com away to the movers. The wild hay was plenty. All they had to do was to cut it. "Help yourself" was almost an invariable answer to a mover who asked for hay. Tom Roy used to set aside a stack for the "movers." The first settlers along the Bluff road clung to their farms. There were few changes in many years, but when the land hunger commenced the new comers looked with covetous eyes on the fertile, fat farms.
