WILLIAM C. MOTT, a progressive Green precinct, Saunders county, Nebraska, is also quite an extensive stock raiser, having his farm stocked with perhaps the best graded and finest cattle in southeastern Nebraska. Mr. Mott was born in Adams county, Ohio, in 1860. He is a son of James and Ellen (Cunningham) Mott. His parents formerly lived in Ohio, where all their children were born. Later they went west to Saunders county, Nebraska, where, in 1882, they settled upon a farm and spent their declining years in Green precinct. James Mott died in 1890, aged eighty years. His widow survived him until 1897, when she passed away, aged seventy-two years. Both expired at the residence of their son, William C. Nine children were born to them, three of whom died in infancy. The others are : Mary E., who is also now deceased; John H., whose career will be mentioned later herein; William C, the subject of this sketch; James D., of Ohio; Emma S., wife of E. Gordon, of Saunders county, Nebraska; and Charles R., also deceased.
John H. Mott is also a prominent farmer and stock raiser of Green precinct. He was born Tn Adams county, Ohio, in 1858, and was reared and schooled in his native state. On February 21, 1879, he went west to Saunders county, Nebraska, to see the country. After working on different farms for several years he bought 80 acres of railroad land in 1880. Upon this land he still resides, but it is now a well improved farm instead of being new and uncultivated. His first house was 16 by 24 feet in dimensions, and 12 feet high.
This was subsequently replaced by the present large and comfortable residence. Many other new buildings were added, such as barns, granaries, corn cribs, hog pens, henneries, etc. Fruit and shade trees were also planted in abundance, and today John H. Mott has 56 fine bearing apple trees alone. He devotes all his time to raising stock and grain, of which he keeps only the best. His marriage with Flora C. Matheson was the source of two children : Hugh F. and James Donald. John H. Mott is a stanch Republican in politics. He is a member of the Brethren church. Mrs. Mott died at her home May I, 1900, aged thirty-nine years.
William C. Mott was reared and schooled in Ohio. He accompanied his parents to Nebraska. In 1890 he purchased 80 acres of land, which was known as the Loomis farm. His present home, however, is on an adjoining 80 acres, known as the Sutton farm. This latter farm contained a small frame house when Mr. Mott purchased it. This was enlarged into a spacious modern residence. New barns, corn-cribs, sheds, etc., were also added, all of which greatly improved the value of his place, which is known as one of the best grain and stock farms in the vicinity. Mr. Mott has 50 head of choice Hereford and Shorthorn cattle and 150 head of the best kind of hogs. His principal grain product is corn. The subject of this sketch was joined in marriage with Saloma Colbert, a daughter of John Colbert. In 1897 Mr. Mott was called upon to mourn the loss of his beloved companion, who died without issue at the early age of thirty-seven years. Like his father and brother, Mr. Mott is a Republican. In his religious views he favors the M. E. church.
