A new biography has been added to my family genealogy pages about Buckskin Charley White. This was written in 1936 but the author is unknown. It was submitted by cousin Jack Owen Hays, who is Buckskin Charley's G-grandson.

I just transcribed this short bio of Lewis Beranek (1 Sept 1883 - 5 March 1968) into my files from the book MILLIGAN, NEBRASKA 1888-1988 (Compiled by the Milligan History Book Committee 1988). Much of the bio involved Lewis's closest friend FRANK HEJKAL of Hastings, Nebraska. I was posting this in hopes that someone from the Hejkal family might someday find this, as they would probably be unlikely to look for their ancestor in the History of Milligan. Lewis Beranek was born near Prague, Czechoslovakia, and as a young man worked in the coal mines, making the equivalent of 50 cents for a twelve hour day. His friend Frank Hejkal, was planning on coming to the United States but did not want to travel alone. Hejkal offered to pay Lewis's way if he would come with him. Lewis was 21 when he arrived in America in the year 1904. He spent the next fews years working on farms in Nebraska, and in the city of Omaha. He and his sister, Mrs. James (Betty) Novak, were living in Omaha on March 24, 1913 when the terrible tornado struck. At that time, it was considered the most disasterous tornado in the Nation's history: 94 dead, hundreds more injured, and thousands left homeless. After this disaster, Lewis moved to the coal town of Dillonvale, Ohio. It was there he met Anna Neibert, whose father was a miner there. They were married in August. A few months later, on November 19, 1915, Lewis became a naturalized citizen. Anna automatically became a citizen as well by virtue of their marriage. The couple operated a restaurant in Lawrence, Nebraska and in 1923 moved back to Milligan where they established a similar business. At the end of the prohibition in 1934, the business became a tavern and pool hall. They operated this busines until their retirement in 1946. An industrious man, Lewis continued to work part-time as a janitor at the Milligan auditorium and as a caretaker at the Bohemian National Cemetery. Lewis and Frank Hejkal remained friends for life. Frank married and settled in Hastings, Nebraska, an employee of the Debus Baking Company. He had three sons and a daughter. His daughter, Hedvicka, died at an early age and was buried near the Beranek family plot at the Bohemian National Cemetery in Milligan. Frank and his wife Tena were buried here as well.

Dear Gang, I just received an email that looks like it came through this list with the BadTrans virus. My outgoing mail is OK, but I am having some trouble deleting this file. I don't know if Norton's isn't interfacing right with the earthlink mail client, but at any rate, its here and I cannot get rid of it. Susan "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

Tombstone photos of Buckskin Charlie White (AKA John Harnett Jr.) and his second wife Louise A. Vosburgh are now posted on my family genealogy site. He lived in various parts of Nebraska, mainly in Hamilton & York Counties. His last years were spent in Colorado Springs, CO where he is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery. There is also a Buckskin Charlie Park named after him in Colorado. His daughter Lettie White married into the Owen family. Lettie's husband Levi Owen was the nephew of my G-grandmother Ellen Josephine Owen Harrison of Memphis, Saunders County, Nebraska. There are biographies/stories about this man on the bios page where more will be added very soon: <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/index.html">HARRISON ROOTS & BRANCHES INDEX</A> http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/index.html http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/tombstones/famtombs5.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/familyrecords.html Have a nice day ~ Kathie Harrison Harrison Roots & Branches http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/index.html All incoming and outgoing e-mail is passed through the most recent Norton Antivirus definitions to assure viruses are not passed.
This message is to John F. who has been doing research on his family in Nebraska. I've seen some posts from you and need you to contact me, as I think we might have ties to one another. Cathy
We're checking on it. If anyone ever has a problem accessing or getting a response from any of our county or state sites, you should first try contacting the coordinator for that site. If that doesn't help, then send a message to <[email protected]> and we'll start checking on it. Keeping an eye on 100+ sites is can be a little difficult at times.

Thank you, Dan, for your post. I had sent queries and surnames to the list and never saw them posted. I had also tried to contact someone listed as a WERNER researcher, but that mail bounced back to me. I thought it was just me! Would be interested in seeing an answer to Dan's post here.

Perkins County was officially organized on November 8, 1887. >>> "Audrey Annable Franklin" <[email protected]> 01/28/02 05:40PM >>> Thanks so much for all the replies. Does anyone know when Perkins was formed from Keith? I had relatives that lived in Perkins and moved to Keith - at least they reburied a child from Perkins Cty to Ogallala.
