Grand View Community (excerpt)
The Sherman Wilson and George Stimpson families emigrated to this community in 1880 and homesteaded. Mr. Stimpson and Mrs. Wilson were brother and sister. Both of these families were always leaders in the church life of the community. Mr. Stimpson, a few years later, became an Evangelical minister and sold his homestead. The Wilsons had three daughters. One married Charles Golden of the family of early settlers, who settled north of Cozad. Another daughter married Charles Bassett, a member of a family of early settlers north of Cozad. Afther their marriage they homesteaded land in the Etna community north of Gothenburg. The other daughter married Dan Kring, a young school teacher, who taught school for a number of years in this locality. They also homesteaded land in the Etna community after their marriage. Mr. Kring's parents were early settlers east of Lexington. The Wilson family later raised Cecilia McKinney, a niece of the family, who married Walter Billeter of Cozad. Mrs. Dan Kring is the only member of the Wilson family who is now living in the year of 1951, and she lives at Cozad.
