Moses Henry Sydenham [RG1455.AM]
Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska: Store owner; farmer; politician. Born in London, England, in 1835, Moses Henry Sydenham immigrated to the United States in 1856 and eventually settled at Fort Kearny, Nebraska. He worked as a freighter until Fort Kearny closed in 1871. At that time, he set up a store and post office in Kearney City (Dobytown). Sydenham was also involved in newspaper publishing over the years. He first published the Kearney Herald, in 1862, and later, The Central Star. In the late 1860s, a move was made to move the national capital to a more central location. When Fort Kearny closed, Moses felt the military reservation would be the ideal spot. Through the pages of The Central Star, he promoted the idea of moving the U.S. Capital to Kearney. Moses Henry Sydenham died on February 3, 1907 and was buried in the Kearney Cemetery at Kearney, Nebraska.
