John Temple

This character is dead.

John Temple immigrated from England in 1830, arriving in Philadelphia before traveling westward to the Nebraska Territory. He settled near the river of what would later become the town of Templeton. There, he traded with the Awetauk tribe, eventually becoming an honorary member.

In the 1860s, many more settlers came to claim their free land from the government while the Awetauk and other Native Americans tribes were forced to cede their lands. At that time, John Temple was known as a local wild man who traded with the local settlers.
