William Jennings Bryan House, NE: From 1902 to 1922, Fairview was the home of William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925), lawyer and politician. Bryan won the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1896 at the age of 36. A leader in the free silver movement during the gold standard controversy, he is remembered for his "Cross of Gold" speech at the Democratic National Convention. Twice again (1900, 1908) Bryan was the losing nominee of his party. Later, he served as Secretary of State under President Wilson (1913-15).
