I lie Naming of Broken Bow (As told to a member of this staff by Mr. E. R. Purcell) By 1880 the people who had settled in this neighborhood desired a post office. In that year Wilson Hewitt, a homesteader near where the city is now located, sent to the Post Office Department the application, and a name which he thought was appropriate. The application was approved, but the name was rejected because a similar one had been granted on another petition. One day Mr. Hewitt's sons, Ed and Fred, while wandering in a canyon, found a broken bow. They took it home, and it immediately suggested the name Broken Bow to Mr. Hewitt; he submitted it, and in time received notice that it had been accepted. At one time Mr. Hewitt's daughter burned part of the bow for kindling. Mrs. Pellam, a very good friend who lived just across the road, asked for the remaining piece, which was about eight inches long. Later, when she moved away, she felt that this piece should be kept by some citizen of Broken Bow and sent it to Mr. E. R. Purcell, in whose possession it is now. He keeps it in a safety deposit box at a bank, and very often takes it out for curious people to see.
