Council No. 652 was the foundation needed for
other councils
soon to be formed in the state.
The second council was formed in O'Neill in April,
1903. This Council is known as Charles Carroll of
Carrollton Council No. 701. In February, 1904,
the third council instituted was the Fitzgerald
Council No. 833 in Lincoln. The Columbus
Council No. 938 was instituted in January of 1905
in Columbus, Nebraska.
Representatives of these first four councils met with
Territorial Deputy Timothy J. Mahoney in Omaha on
March 4, 1905 and formed the State Council of the
Nebraska Knights of Columbus. The following
officers were elected: T.J. Mahoney of Omaha the
office of State Deputy; E. D. Fitzpatrick, Jr. of
Columbus, Secretary; P. J. O'Donnell of O'Neill,
Treasurer; A. V. Johnson of Lincoln, Advocate; and
W. P. McDeavitt was elected the first State
Warden.
The first Nebraska State Council Meeting was held
in Lincoln in the Assembly hall of the Lindell Hotel
on May 2, 1905. At this meeting, the Rev. Thomas
Walsh of Norfolk was elected the first State
Chaplain of the State Council.
These first leaders of the State Council, along with
their associates, were the pioneer of the Knights of
Columbus west of the Missouri River. By their zeal,
their unselfishness, their wise administration, they
built an enduring foundation for the Knights of
Columbus. Because of them, today we are the
proud home of over 151 councils and over
Nebraska.
