The following biography was published in "Lincoln, The Capital City and Lancaster County, Nebraska" by Andrew J. Sawyer, Supervising Editor, S.E. Clarke Publishing Company, Volume II, pages 602-603.
Edward Huling, a well known resident of Waverly township, where he owns one hundred and sixty acres of good land, has passed much of his life west of the Mississippi River and has been a pioneer of California, Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska, meeting all of the experiences incident to life upon the frontier. He was born in Wisconsin, October 29, 1837, the oldest of six children born to R. Collom and Johanna (Eastman) Huling, natives of New York and Ohio respectively. In 1827 the father accompanied his parents to Grant Co., WI., and there grew to manhood. He was a horse dealer and in 1853 went to California where he resided until his death which occurred in 1895, when he had reached the age of eighty-six years, as his natal year was 1809. He served as a soldier in the Black Hawk war, and in days of peace manifested his patriotism by placing the public welfare above his private interests. His wife, who was born in 1816, died in this county in 1900.
Edward H. Huling attended school in Grant County, WI., but his educational opportunitites were limited as when only nine years of age he began working for others. In 1852 he becamse a resident of California, and there he engaged in the cattle business for a number of years. He also freighted across the Humboldt desert into Nevada, and later kept a trading post and freighting station in Honey Lake Valley, near Susanville, California. After thus engaging in business for three years he turned his attention to cattle raising but at intervals freighted to the Humboldt mines, one hundred and seventy-five miles distant. He was at the mines when the first discovery of gold was made and was thoroughly familiar with life in the western mining camps. In 1865 he returned to Wisconsin and after operating a threshing machine there for one year, went to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he kept a freighters' tavern for about six months. He then engaged in teaming and in buying wheat for a mill, but soon went to Omaha, where he remained a short time. He next entered the employ of a general contractor who was engaged in the construction of Union Pacific railroad lines, and Mr. Huling worked for him for about three months, going as far west as the Black Hills. Subsequently he returned to Omaha. When he passed through Fort Kearney there was considerable excitement as the Indians had burned several towns in that vicinity, had killed a family and had taken twin boys and two girls prisoners. The captives were later recovered in British Columbia. Later he went to Wisconsin where he spent the winter, but in the spring he again took up his residence in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and began bringing a tract of wild land under cultivation. As soon as he erected a residence he sent for his wife, who joined him and for about four years he followed agricultural pursuits there, raising both grain and stock. On leaving Council Bluffs he located near State Center, Iowa, and for three years engaged in farming and cattle raising there, but at the end of that time went to Eureka, California, where he cultivated land and also conducted a transfer business for nine years. He then returned to Iowa but only remained in that state for a few weeks, after which he came to Lancaster County, Nebraska, and settled on the farm where he still lives. He purchased the land for seven dollars per acre and has realized a handsome profit on the investment, as it would now command a high figure if offered for sale. He has made many improvements on the place and is still actively engaged in farming, although he has reached the age when most men prefer to live a life of leisure.
Mr. Huling was married in 1866 in Miss Sarah Carhart, whose birth occurred in Plattville, Grant County, Wisconsin, and who died in this county in 1871. They became the parents of four children, namely: Charles, who is farming in Nebraska, near Sioux City; George, a farmer of Lancaster county; Lulu, who married Lon Toland, a farmer of Oklahoma; and Addie Deceased. In 1876 Mr. Huling was again married, Miss Mary Carter becoming his wife. She too, was called to the great beyond in 1890. By his second marriage Mr. Huling has the following children: Veva, at home; Ernest a resident of Colorado; and Harold M. C., who is a graduate of the State University of Nebraska, although only nineteen years of age, and is now teaching in Holdrege.
Mr. Huling supports the republican party when national issues are at stake, but at local elections votes independently. He has many interesting stories to tell of conditions in various parts of the west in the early days and his dominant qualities are those which have always characterized the pioneer. He is highly respected and his circle of friends is almost coextensive with that of his acquaintances.
