Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Flora Disney (n June 1, 1. 93. 8. It switched to NBC Blue Network on September 2. March 2. 2, 1. 93. Absent from the airwaves for over two years, it returned shortly before the Attack on Pearl Harbor, heard in the Midwestern United States on the Chicago Tribune's WGN.

With increasing popularity during World War II, the show next took off at a fast pace on Blue Network, airing daily for 1. February 1, 1. 94. The Quaker Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice . Douglas Browning was the announcer during the mid- 1. After 1. 94. 5, with no wartime villains for Terry and his pals to fight, ratings began to drop in the post- WWII period until the final episode on June 3. Even though we were attending different schools, I was acquainted with a number of girls in her new circle from the Aksarben party days of my childhood. Spending time with her meant all of us girls piling into her mother. It seemed to me, in memory, that this fine vehicle was not unlike a willing Yellow Labrador Retriever I once knew. The nicked and scratched wooden panels of that poor, rugged Wagoneer had seen more than its fair share of high school exploits. In fact it had clocked serious hours in the hands of my friend. The Woody had adeptly proved to be a capable fit for this line of work. From keggers to farm parties, fast food spills, cross country concert going, impromptu street racing, bumper skiing, late night tee- peeing attacks, make out sessions and back window vomiting, this lust for life was a regular expectation and expression of this hardy Wagon, matched only by the vigorous lineage of teenage drivers. It was during this time that I became reacquainted with the Loveland- Westside area, swimming in pools and frequenting sidewalk- less, winding roads that I hadn. If you have ever dallied around this fine part of town, you are surely familiar with the amount of chuckholes, dips and craters in its environ. Let me assure you none of that mattered to the robust Wagoneer and taken at a high rate of speed, those endless Loveland pits and swerves led to gales of laughter from us girls. Those homes were some of the best I had ever spied. I would like to have imagined that we had explored north of Pacific Street, in our early high school jaunts, particularly across from Loveland Elementary School, a local favorite of mine. It was a few years ago, no doubt on a Gumshoe House Stalker Mission, when I turned down a newfound street, Ridgewood Avenue. There, in the trees, concealed in plain sight, I caught a glimpse of her. There stood one of my favorite architectural addictions, as you by now know, the Shingle Style. How had I not previously detected this classic East Coast Beauty in the woods? Pacific Street was very purposefully tucked out of sight in that small grove. For one thing, she carried a Pacific Street address but you cannot possibly access the home from Pacific Street. All the more complicated and mysterious. She had an arbor and winding paths and a screened in porch and a three- car garage complete with a louvered patina cupola. Was that a weathervane atop the garage? Every architectural delight was checked off. Were my expressions of utter shock and joy being recorded by a secret film crew? She was just the type of New England summer home some of us only dream of. Mother of Miss Cassette has always been quick to rationalize that it takes a bit of obsession to complete any job correctly. A person must have an internal fire that drives the work. Or at least that has been my interpretation of something Mother of Miss Cassette says at such consuming junctures as these. Miss Cassette sometimes makes things up but this rationalization does seem to fit in here. Investigating a house and its humans requires such a fire. In the work of house detecting and history chasing, my aim has been to open the case and see what falls out. Sometimes this calls for a shaking and a rattling of the dossier. Usually, because we live in such a small- big city, the clues just slip together. Just as 8. 12. 0 Pacific Street was camouflaged right on a major thoroughfare, I soon found trailing her history to be as elusive. Google Map displays a number of triangle tracts in the area. Early Loveland Area Clues. Pacific Street, which runs east- west, was named for the Pacific Ocean. It has long been considered one of the major roads in Omaha. After consulting with the Streets of Omaha book, its name apparently changed a number of times in its history, dependent on the part of town. From what I could find Pacific Street did not have any diversions from its original name west of 7. Street. Members of the Archibald Love family on the steps of home at 8. Loveland Drive. 1. Photo courtesy of the Bostwick- Frohardt/KM3. TV Photography Collection at The Durham Museum Photo Archive). Around the mid 1. A. J. At this time, the majority of Omahans lived east of 7. Street. Check out my previous article, Brothers Lounge and the Case of the Vanishing Mom and Pop. From the fabulous Born Rich: A Historical Book of Omaha by Margaret Patricia Killian, I learned that the early wealthy business owners in Omaha built their homes in the wooded areas with views of the Missouri River and Bluffs of Iowa. To the south of the downtown and railway area were . The hills along 8th and 1. Streets from Mason Street to what is now Riverview Park and Henry Doorly Zoo became the first concentrated .

No one, to that point, had predicted the well heeled would eventually look to western farmland for an escape from city life. But Archie Love had just that idea. Apparently also known as the president of the Love- Haskell Insurance Company, Love along with his wife Harriet, were, as they say, quite comfortable and well connected. This new swath west of 7. Street, clustered around Pacific Street, had become known as Pacific Territory. As Love began selling plots of his land, the newly affluent began to buy into the dream of Loveland—surely a simple modification of Love. Currently Loveland has been split up into three neighborhoods. Old Loveland is considered north of Pacific Street. All three areas, to include Loveland and Loveland West, are shown here. I began to wonder if the Loveland area was developed as some type of rustic retreat, similar to the Keystone Neighborhood, where the wealthy could get away from all the hubbub of city life? Was this similar to the European aristocrats? Were the glorious early homes of Loveland sprinkled along a dairy farm? The Omaha City Directories were not offering up much explanation for this rural development. Following on a tip from Martha, Omaha Public Librarian Extraordinaire, I made a date with the Register of Deeds in the county building. And this is where the investigation began to gather a bit of traction. Portion of the Deeds Office. The Ridgewood Addition Clues. At the Register of Deeds office I was met with a most pleasant young woman named Susanna. If you ever have the good fortune of meeting with her, your great search of local deeds will be made ever more pleasant. I quickly learned that 8. Pacific fell within the Ridgewood Addition. I surmised that an original landowner would be named Ridgewood or Ridge based off of my Loveland lead. These blocks were part of very large grouping on the north side of Pacific Street. I began to daydream that William Righter Wood might have been a farmer across the way from Archie Love. What unfolded was more closely related to the Social Register than the Rural Daily News. The Wood Family Story. Understanding the William Righter Wood property really began with digging into the Wood family. From National Register of the Society, Sons of the American Revolution Volume 1, 1. Louis Henry Cornish and Alonzo Howard Clark—William Righter Wood of Omaha was son of Arthur P. I was really interested to find Arthur P. Wood mentioned in my favorite book of old time Omaha movers and shakers. I have mentioned this crucial book previously in the writing of the. Arthur Wood graduated from the University of Michigan as a student in the civil engineering dept. He infamously entered the construction department of the Union Pacific Railway Co . Later Wood became involved with the Omaha and Northwestern Railroad Company, serving as assistant chief engineer. The Senior Wood would go on to San Diego, Texas, and San Francisco in setting up their railways. He returned to Omaha and contracted with the UP for the building of branch lines, as a partner in the firm of Wood, Bancroft & Doty. He became interested in stock raising on an extensive scale, formerly owning a fine ranch in Stanton County, where he was known to have bred fine Hereford cattle. He became partners with George F. It would not take me long to find mounds of verification as to its existence and the profound effect the farm had in the shaping of dairy standards in this area. Arthur Wood was written of quite often nationally as . Station B, Omaha Nebr. October 1. 8, 1. 91. I believe it is so revealing of the times, I love voice of old journalism and this gives us a glimpse into the life of the young William Righter Wood. If this is boring to you, skip ahead a couple of paragraphs. The reason is that Arwood furnished them with sanitary milk of uniform high- class quality. People who read and think are not satisfied with the milk ordinarily sold to city trade. They want milk that is pure and wholesome and are willing to pay well for it. The story of Arwood is the story of a young man. However, it differs materially from the time worn . Righter Wood, owner and manager of Arwood, is a Nebraska farm product. He grew up on a general stock farm and early acquired a love for animals through association with them. No less clear was the fact that the market was insufficiently supplied with that class of milk. His third definite conclusion was that the city of Omaha offered ideal opportunity for the establishment of a thoroughly up- to- date dairy such as he contemplated. Accordingly 1. 60 acres of land five miles from one of the principal streets was purchased. The location is very favorable in that it is a comparatively short distance from the city. The land was badly run down in productivity owing to continuous heavy grain cropping. This point appealed to Mr. Wood in that he was an enthusiastic believer in the possibility of renewing fertility by practicing a rational system of dairying. Aside from location with reference to market, there was little to commend the farm. Bunch of ramshackle buildings, there was no grove for winter protection and no trees in the pasture for summer shade and no water nor luxuriant pasture.
