MISS KATE C. VEIRS, dressmaker, 1318 Capitol avenue, Omaha. Miss Veirs' father, Thomas J. Veirs, was among the early settlers of Douglas County, having come here from Ohio, with his family in 1857, where he remained identified with the developing industries of the State till his death in 1876. He is buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery.
BRICE VIERS, grain dealer, 1614 Izard street, Omaha, was born in Cabell County, Va., in 1832. When he was quite young his parents removed to Carter County, Ky., where he remained until he was eighteen years old. He then went to Steubenville, Ohio, being employed in his uncle's wholesale grocery store for about four years. In 1857 he came to Nebraska locating at Florence and engaging in brickmaking for a short time. He went to Pike's Peak in 1859 and engaged in the ranching business fifteen miles north of Denver, following that until 1861. He then in partnership with another man began the business of freighting across the plains, following this and doing a very large business until 1867 requiring thirty wagons and 102 yoke of oxen, their receipts averaging $10,000 per year. He returned to Omaha in the last named year and purchased a farm west of Fort Omaha where he lived until 1875, when he sold his farm. Since that time he followed various kinds of business up to the fall of 1881, when he engaged in the grain business. In 1871 he married Miss Nellie F. Weber, who is a native of New England. They have three children, Benjamin F., Ray E. and Edwin W. Source: KANSAS COLLECTION BOOKS-Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska-Douglas County-SECTIONS 20 - 46:** Omaha Biographical Sketches **

Source: 1830 Jefferson County, Ohio Census Index
(NOTE: The above listed Wm. Veirs in Washington County in 1800 and the William Veirs listed in the 1830 Jefferson County Census Index may be one and the same. There is no identification as to whom his parents might be. There are several possibilities. One may be that Bazzel W. Viers might have been called by his middle name William for a short period of time, or possibly this William Veirs was the son of Capt./Major William Veirs or Daniel Veirs Jr. and this William may have come out to Ohio with Nehemiah Viers and then settled in Island Creek twp., Jefferson County, Ohio next to Elisha W. Viers and Daniel Bucey Viers. One can only speculate at this time. The only other alternative is that Elisha, Daniel, Brice or Nehemiah had a son named William that has not been noted in the records. Please let me know if anyone has a parental connection for this William Viers of Canton Twp., Washington County and Island Creek Twp., Jefferson County, Ohio in the 1800 through 1830 time period).
