How frustrating! I completely understand what you are going through. You may want to order his death certificate. I know in Colorado, it lists where they are buried. The downside is, if he lived and died near Peetz, CO, they are frequently buried in Sidney, NE but the death certificate would be in Colorado, so you may want to try both states. In this area, it wasn't unusual for people to be buried on their farm. There are several family plots on local farms. I don't know what the laws were then, but now you can be buried on your farm, if you own the property. In fact, a man was buried on his land just a couple of years ago. Do you show them on a census that would give you an idea of where they lived? Possibly then, the person who is doing the lookup for you could find it and talk to the current owners. Also, here is the phone number for Sidney Public Library, (308) 254-3110. Sometimes they have cemetery books, county history books and/or listings. Someone there might check them for you. The only other suggestion I can think of, is there are Ewing's who still live in this area. I had John Ewing as a teacher in school. You may want to call them and see if they are connected and if they have any idea of what happened to William. There is also a Ewing in Sidney, NE. I didn't find any Ewin's. So, after this extremely long email, I am still no help. Sorry! Good Luck! Carol Silvey
