BEATRICE — For Dr. Cletus Troy Frerichs, known as C.T., love drove him to help bring a large piece of homesteading history to his home state of Nebraska.

Officials recently recalled details of the successful effort in light of Frerichs’ passing on May 6 at age 97. His obituary described him as a generous benefactor of numerous causes in Beatrice and Gage County, although he might be best known for his contribution to Nebraska’s homestead heritage.
In spring 2016, Frerichs became the main donor for bringing a 1945 Allis-Chalmers Model C tractor, owned by the last homesteader, out of the Alaskan wilderness to be displayed at Homestead National Monument, now Homestead National Historical Park.
