BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Thomas Jefferson Majors was born on June 25, 1841, the son of Sterling P. and Ann (Brown) Majors of Libertyville, Jefferson County, Iowa. Majors received his early education in Libertyville and later attended the State Normal School at Peru, Nebraska. Majors spent his childhood attending school at Libertyville and working in his father's mercantile business. At the age of eighteen, Majors and his brother Wilson left Libertyville loaded with supplies from their father's store. Their intent was to establish a mercantile business in the heart of the newly discovered gold region surrounding Pike's Peak. Arriving in Nebraska and hearing stories of failure from returning miners, Majors determined to push no farther westward. After staying in Nebraska City for a brief period, Majors migrated to Peru, Nebraska, and became actively engaged in the mercantile business. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Majors brought his mother and father to Peru to maintain his business and enlisted as a First Lieutenant in Company "C" of the First Nebraska Cavalry.

Majors served with the First Nebraska at the battles of Black Water, Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Memphis and Vicksburg. In January of 1862 he was promoted to the rank of captain and was breveted to Major in 1864. Upon re-enlistment in 1864, Majors served with the First Nebraska at Forts Kearny, McPherson and Laramie. It was during this enlistment that he saw action against the Sioux and Cheyenne at the battle of Plum Creek (Lexington, Nebraska). In 1865 Majors gained promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and retained this rank until his discharge on June 30, 1866.

In 1866 Majors embarked upon an active political career, being elected first to the Nebraska Territorial Council, and in 1867 gained election to the first state senate. It was during this term that Majors was instrumental in the founding of the State Normal School at Peru, Nebraska. Majors remained on the board of directors of the normal school throughout his lifetime and is credited as being the father of the state normal system. He was re-elected to the Senate in 1869 and served until 1870, when her received an appointment as the Internal Revenue Assessor for Nebraska under the Grant administration. In 1878 Major won election to the U.S. House of Representatives, filling the seat vacated by the death of Frank Welsh. Following this term Majors returned to Nebraska and was again elected to the state senate in 1886. Two years later he gained election to Nebraska's lower house and in 1890 was elected as Nebraska's Lieutenant Governor. Majors remained at this post until 1894, when he received the Republican Gubernatorial nomination. He was unsuccessful in this election bid, meeting defeat at the hand of fusionist candidate Silas Holcomb. Majors retired from active politics in 1910, following his final term in the Nebraska Senate.

Thomas Majors married Isabelle Bushon in 1870. This union was to produce five children; four sons, Frank P., James H., Thomas A., Charles W., and one daughter, Gladys (Mrs. Clarence Gale). Stone photo present - personal photo present
