William Jennings Bryan came to Lincoln in 1887. They purchased land 3 miles east of downtown Lincoln and named it Fairview. Later, they built a home there. The home and 10 acres was given to the Nebraska Methodist Conference in 1921 to build a hospital. It is now the location of Bryan Memorial Hospital.
Here is a web site to find out more information about this man.
