Detailed Information
John A. Creighton, Edward’s younger brother, was born in 1831 in Ohio. He came to Nebraska in 1856 to work for his brother. He later found success in gold mining in Montana. In 1868, John married Sarah Emily Wareham (b. 1840), a younger sister of Mary Lucretia Creighton. He emerged as a leading figure in the Omaha community — he was one of the organizers of the Omaha stockyards — with business interests across several states. In 1895, Pope Leo XIII named John Creighton a Knight of the Holy Roman Empire for his philanthropic support of Creighton University and other Catholic works.
