Antelope County Treasurer Tax List of Settlers in the Spring 1872

A list has been made from the County Treasurer’s personal tax list for 1872, showing the names of all permanent settlers who were assessed a personal tax for that year.  Also, there are added to this list the names of permanent settlers who had filed on homesteads of preemptions prior to April 1, 1872, but who were temporarily absent when the assessment was taken.

These make in all two hundred and thirteen persons in the county holding claims, or subject to be taxed.  Many of these, however, were single persons, and it is not probable that the population of the county at that time , April 1, 1872, exceeded six hundred and fifty persons.
