Most of my info I got from membership card for the club for men in the Civil War from Sidney. I know Charles, Eliza, Charles and Pearlah are buried in Sidney Cemetery. I believe Cordon is also buried there. Does anyone have more info on this family or children.

The book, SOMEDAY, a Tale of Civil Bend by the River, by Gertrude and her son Bob Handy, pub 1973, ISBN: O9600732-1-3. provides at least four or five references to the ferry at Civil Bend. It ran from Copelands Landing to California Junction. It was reported to be active with the Underground Railway and was used as an alternate crossing when the slave chasers were active in Nebraska City. The Mormons used it also. If this book is not available to you, let me know and I will extract the references. The data source, Phyllis Wise Wennermark, is now deceased. The spelling of Emoline Wise is incorrect and should be Emmaline. The date of death for Mary E. (Copeland) Brockie, 30 Mar 1900, is correct to the best of my knowledge. The maiden name of Eliza Ivens (wife of Emanuel Smith) is Evans, per marriage license. The note that Sterling Morton moved to Fargo, SD is incorrect. His wife, Jennie Cash, did move to Fargo just before her death. Sterling was living on the family farm, west of Percival, in 1943 when he died. Incidentally he was named after the Sterling Morton, a family friend, of Arbor Day fame. Do you have an obituary for Emmaline (Wise) Copeland. She died 22SEP1877and is buried in South English, Keokuk, IA. I don't know if she died in Fremont or Keokuk county. She is buried in the Wise family plot with her brother and Mother and recorded as Emmaline Copeland Wise.

Sorry for such a delay in answering your question when you were so quick in answering mine. ....Your notes are basically correct except for your last....my ggrandfather John Copeland has no known connection to the Copelands' you have listed, ie, James Hiram, Hugh, etal. I have always thought there was a connection but the families always denied it and I have never been able to make a connection. My records show the spelling of Hiram to actually be Hirum and Turbeyville to be Tuberville. Question?....who was James Hiram's first wife?

My grandmother was Cora Mae McBETH. She married my grandfather Samuel Robert REED in 1917. She went by Mae, and he went by Robert and/or Bob. My grandmother was born in 1898, and her parents were Dennis H. McBETH b. 1866 d. (abt) 1924; and Susan Cornelia LAYMON b. in 1877 & d. 1936. Dennis' parents were William and Adaline (MOSIER) McBETH. They are buried at Blanchard Cemetery in rural Percival in Fremont County. Susan is also listed as being buried here (Listing says: Susie C.). My great aunt tells me that Dennis and two of his brothers (Ulysses & Perry) are also supposed to be buried at Blanchard Cemetery. I find no record of this at all. Cannot find Susan's grave either. William and Adaline have a big McBETH tombstone with a scroll on top that says McBETH, and they have individual stones on both sides of it with their first names and years of birth/death. Dennis had one sister, Alpha Goldie McBETH, who! married George RICKETTS. He had 2 other brothers - Charles McBETH, whom I think is buried in Geneva, Fillmore Co., NE; and Lester Floyd McBETH, who I don't have any additional information on. All of Dennis' siblings were born several years after him....starting in 1880's. Any information about this family, and especially Dennis, would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance.

February 2, 1928. "Riverton News".--Sarah Lenora Cross was born in Dewitt county, Illinois, March 24, 1857, and departed this life at her home in Riverton, January 29, 1928, aged 70 years, 10 months and 5 days. At an early age her family moved to Webster county, Iowa, where a greater part of her early life was spent. The family later moved to South Dakota where she was united in marriage to Louis Enburg. To this union one daughter, Nellie Margaret, was born. Later she married Charles Cowles of Riverton, with whom she lived until his death about ten years ago. Upon coming to Riverton she united with the local Methodist church and remained with this affiliation until her death, although for the past several years she was unable to attend the services on account of poor health. She is survived by her daughter, Nellie Maragaret Smith; one stepson, Lawrence E. Cowles; one sister, Mrs. Mary Jane White of Riverton, and number of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted at the home Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. H. P. Grinyer, pastor of the Methodist church. The remains were laid to rest in the Riverton cemetery.

October 9, 1930.--"Landmarks Are Passing".--The old order changeth--old things give way to new--and old landmarks are being torn down to be replaced by new modern business structures. Such is the case here. Two of the oldest known houses in Sidney are now in the process of demolition. These houses, that have stood witness to all things passing along the east side of the square since the "town first was" have been torn down in order to make room for the new Skelly Oil company station, construction of which was started this week. From Mrs. T.R. Travis we are aable to glean a little history in connection with these two landmarks. H. G. Bourne buit the house on the corner in 1850. It was started in the cummer and ompleted just in time for the family to have their Christmas dinner in the new home. Mrs. Bourne held a light for the carpenters to work by after night in order that this might be possible. Mr. Bourne was tresurer of Fremont county from 1855 to 1857. Mrs. Bourne was a sister of Mrs. Augustus Borchers whose huysxband laid out the town of Hamburg in 1857. A daughter, Mary L. Bourne, who is living at Rushville, Nebraska, is 81 years of age. From her we are also able to obtain some information about these old monuments to pioneer days. The south house, commonly known as the Borchers house, was built two years after the Bourne house, in 1852. The frame lumber and the oak floors for both houses were sawed at a little mill where, sometime afterward, the Jenkins grist mill was located. All of the floor boards were planed by hand. The weather boarding and finishing lumber were shipped to what is now Nebraska City, by boat. In the summer of the year the Borchers house was finished, the Missouri river was "on a rise" and the lumber was brought across the bottomland in skiffs of flatboats. James Gray, who was county treasurer here from 1871 to 1876, lived in the Borchers house with his family for many years, moving away from it forty-eight years ago.

"Another Early Settler."--Writing from Rushville, Nebraska, Mary L. Bourne, who has been a subscriber to The Argus practically since its first issue in July, 1916, says of early days: "Mr. Editor: I got my Argus-Herald Friday and read Mr. Hiatt's historical article in which he says he is the oldest living pioneer of Fremont county. I am just past 80, read and sew without glasses. The firm "Borchers & Bowers" of which he speaks should read Borchers & Bourne, the latter my father. "My father, Harvey Bourne, came to Fremont county from old Virginia in 1850, settled on a pre-emption west of the road between Hamburg and Sidney in what was called "the German settlement." He helped to lay out the town of Sidney and built the first frame house, just east of the square. I think it stands there now. The carpenters worked overtime to get the house done so my mother could have our Christmas dinner there, 1851. "The finishing lumber for this old house was brought across the Missouri bottom in boats on account of high water. Mr. Borchers built the house next to ours, south, in 1853. Mr. Borchers and Mr. Brumback laid out Hamburg about 1867 (sic, should read 1857). The names Mr. Hiatt mentions were all familiar to me in my childhood days in Sidney. "Mother, brother and I came to this wild and woolly west in 1887. We were about forty miles from the Sioux Indian reservation but they were not allowed off this reservation very much. At the battle of Wounded Knee we were all notified to seek safety in towns or in guarded places, but the Indians did not get to us. This country then was not considered suitable for anything but cattle; now we have fine farms,thriving dairy business and no hog cholera at all."

The impressive ring ceremony was used and bridal party stood beneath a large heart of smilax and small red hearts. Preceding the ceremony, Wilbur Davis, brother of the bride, sang "I Love You Truly", accompanied on the piano by Miss Forest Walden.The bride wore a beautiful hand embroidered blue silk crepe de chine dress. The groom wore a dark blue serge suit. Following the congratulations the 40 guests, the immediate relatives of the two families, were ushered to the dining room where an elaborate dinner was served by Misses Forest and Theo Walden, Clara McMahon and Edna Davis, cousin of the bride. A large bouquet of Carnations centered the table and Smilax was also used in the table decorations with red hearts as place cards. The bride is a charming and accomplished young woman, well prepared to fill her place in this new home. She has spent her entire life in Page and Fremont counties where she is admired and loved by a large circle of friends. She received her education in the Shenandoah schools with the exception of part of one year in the Farragut schools. Later she attended the Iowa State Teachers College at Cedar Falls and the Nebraska State Normal at Wayne, Nebraska.
