Eduard von Grützner was a German painter and professor of art especially noted for his genre paintings of monks.
Grützner was born in Groß-Karlowitz near Neisse, Upper Silesia and studied under Piloty. He made his career in Munich and was one of that city's leading genre painters in the second half of the 19th century.

J. Sterling Morton
J. Sterling Morton jumped into the political scene soon after their arrival in the Nebraska Territory.
J. Sterling Morton was appointed Nebraska's territorial Secretary of State from 1858-1861 and was also the acting territorial governor from 1858-1859.
Morton lived in Nebraska City and carefully watched the evolution of the Nebraska Territory through its ups and downs. Morton did not believe Nebraska was the “Great American Desert”, but quite the opposite. He believed in agriculture and the honorable work of farmers.
