Edd S. Cross
An enterprising, industrious, ambitious young farmer and ranchman of Banner county, is meeting with deserved success through his well directed agricultural efforts. He was born in Jasper county, Iowa, March 1, 1884, the only child of his parents, John W. and Carrie (Scoville) Cross, the latter of whom died when he was two years old. From that time until he was eight years old, Mr. Cross lived with his grandparents.
John W. Cross, father of Edd S., was born in Iowa, grew up in that state and followed farming there until 1887. He came then to Banner county, Nebraska, and homesteaded northwest of Harrisburg and remained on that property for five years and still owns it. He went back then to Iowa but in 1909 returned to Banner county and now owns and operates the Clay Springs ranch, a large estate situated seven miles west of Harrisburg. He is active to some extent in Democratic political circles but has never consented to hold office. His second marriage was to a Miss Hunt, who was born in eastern Nebraska, and they have had seven children, namely: Philip, Fred, John, Carrie, Lydia, Harvey and Benjamin.
Edd S. Cross obtained a country school education in Iowa. When eight years old he returned to his father and remained with him until his own marriage which took place October 26, 1909, to Miss Lillie M. Marshall. Her mother, like Mr. Cross's mother died when she was young, and her father, Stanley Marshall, is also now deceased. Mrs. Cross homesteaded where she and Mr. Cross now reside and they own two hundred and forty acres of fine land. Mr. Cross leases twelve hundred and eighty acres, and does an extensive business in livestock, raising fifty head of cattle yearly. In commenting on changed conditions that have effected every industry, Mr. Cross mentions that when he was seventeen years old he worked for farmers for fifteen dollars a month and now, even when offering seventy-five dollars a month, he is unable to secure sufficient help. He has always been a hard worker himself and obtained his first financial start by working on the government ditch at Torrington, Wyoming. Both he and Mrs. Cross have a wide acquaintance in the county and they are respected and esteemed by all who know them.
