Likewise will the growth of her churches be included in the treatment of their respective denominations, her schools treated as -a part of the school history of the county, the press, professions and social and fraternal institutions be taken up in separate chapters relating to those respective activities.
The original plat of Grand Island was filed for record September 29, 1866, and recorded in Book B, page 13, by Clerk Fred T. Evans. The document was found by Abstractor William Frank, at Omaha. Prior to this time Grand Island had nothing to show title to streets and alleys, beyond twenty-one years possession of the same, the county records then showing title only in the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
