Early ones did not. I asked at the Douglas County Historical Society and at the Douglas County Court House and they didn't know. Here's the answer I found online. At the time of the 1967 Loving decision, sixteen Southern states prohibited marriage across the color line. Surprisingly, other states had only recently removed the ban: South Dakota in 1957, Nevada in 1958, California in 1959, Arizona in 1960, Nebraska in 1963, Indiana in 1965, and Maryland in 1967. It seems clear that although white America, after enormous pressure, was willing to go along with the desegregation of public schools, transportation, and the voting booth, tolerance for racial integration did not extend to personal relationships.

We encourage all NEHGS members to spread the word about this offering, and we hope that those of you who are not members find a veritable feast of ancestors in the Register database! Published quarterly since 1847, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest journal in the field. The online database includes issues from 1847 to 1994. The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of topics since its inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land and probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical essays. Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the Register for more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been treated in the pages of the journal and many more are referenced in incidental ways throughout. The articles in the Register range from short pieces correcting errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that reveal family origins or present multiple generations of a family. Look for details on how to obtain free access to the Register in a special eNews bulletin to be sent out Wednesday, November 24. A link will also be available on that date on the home page of our website, www.NewEnglandAncestors.org

Stories at Eleven ©) Bill Oliver 21 November 2004 Vol 8 Issue #34 ISBN: pending Good Evening Nebraskans and all Ships at Sea, There are as many versions of an event as there are witnesses to that event. As time passes and details become fuzzy, other events might enter into the story. Thus, an event might become a composite of events. These thoughts came to mind during the week because several of us talked about the preservation of family “stories”. Years ago my family [aunts, uncles, cousins, Grandma and occasionally one or two other persons who were included as family, would gather at one of the aunt’s homes for “Sunday Dinner”. The men would gather in the living room or the back yard for their discussions while the women would converge in the kitchen for the preparation of the meal and their discussions. The cousins would chase each other around the yard [or neighborhood], up and down the steps of the front porch, in pursuit of their “discussions.” Sometime during the late afternoon the dinner would commence. We would all sit as directed by the matriarch, Grandma Oliver, who like all matriarchs had her own perception of where individuals should sit. If allowed to sit at the main table, cousins were usually spaced between aunts and uncles. I suppose this was stifle any “too friendly” acts of us young’uns. The meal would always begin with a long prayer by Grandma. Then came the joyous and noisy feast, followed by a period of silence interrupted by the clattering of dishes and silverware being removed from the table. This would signal the commencement of “table talk”. Cousins listened while aunts and uncles argued over every conceivable subject of importance. There were stories about family heroes, stories about family experiences, stories of the past, humorous stories, even some tragic stories – all these stories were stories of our family. This was our family Sunday ritual. As I grew older, World War II intervened and my nuclear family drew away from this tradition. While they lasted, no one had to tell me what it meant to be a part of this family. No one had to tell me who I was or give me instructions as to the view points for the folk who gathered together. No one had to explain to me that I belonged. There at that table we were initiated, nurtured, and claimed into the family. There we found our place. I recall to this day, the excitement felt then about the tales told of the youth of my parents and other relatives gathered at that table. These oft told stories were my link to family history. The depression years seemed good years to me. My parents and their friends could buy a deck of cards and a bag of peanuts and have a whole evening’s entertainment. Even though my youth consisted of living on several military bases, World War II seemed remote from me as I grew up. Only after attaining adulthood did the realization come to me that those days during the depression and the world war were less romantic and harsher than my awareness. For many years the search for other family stories has established that every generation of my family has faced their own less than romantic experiences. For example, one of my ancestors lived in the Louisiana Territory, close to the epicenter of the 1812 earthquake that Tecumseh believed was the sign he had visioned to begin the war against the Euros. Another set of great grandparents uprooted themselves from Switzerland to Nebraska when the end of the railroad line was in Red Cloud. They arrived with few belongings, no money and five young children to establish themselves on that frontier prairie. Their first “home” was a “dugout”. Fifteen years later they built their “frame” farmhouse. Another of my great grandfathers was the first casualty of the French and Indian wars at Pittsburgh ... certainly not the greatest statistic. Nor the knowledge that two great grandfathers serving in the same regiment during the War Between the States didn’t return home either. The statistic that please me to retell to my grandchildren is that my Grandma Oliver lived to be 102 years of age before she passed on. And, that she, at age 100, had ninety six living blood descendants. She had five children and she lived to see five generations in each of her lines. Record your stories, good folk, someone will love to read them. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

Hello very one, I have received many old vintage photo's from my Aunt and Uncle Saum. No names on them, but on front show they were taken in Sutton and Harvard,Nebraska.One was taken in Bloomington, ILLS but is the same family. I think they are of the Saum family that moved from ILLS to Nebraska. Also might be any of the related lines-Tiltons,Brittains,Kirkwood,etc. Would like to post to have help in identifying them. Any suggestions? Thank You Cheryl

Stories at Eleven ©) Bill Oliver 14 November 2004 Vol 8 Issue #33 ISBN: pending Good Evening Nebraskans and all Ships at Sea, This week my thoughts are a bit like the “rambling wreak from Georgia Tech”; all over the “field”, much like James Joyce’s writings. The term quarantine means: to separate and isolate to prevent the spread of disease. This includes bacterial infections, viruses, funguses, and parasites (both internal and external). Back in the 1930s the County Health Department used to issue signs which were posted on entrances to houses. They were quarantine signs for communicable diseases. These were large signs ... large enough to be read from sidewalks ... placed outside the home to warn people about the presence of deadly and/or very contagious diseases. Measles, Chicken Pox, diphtheria, typhoid fever, and Scarlet Fever, each had their own color and for the “life of me” I can’t remember which color belonged to which disease; though I will attempt a couple of them from memory. Quarantine signs were common and posted in front of homes in cities, towns, villages, and even farms across this land from the mid1800s until the middle of the 20th century. They were characterized with large bold headlines with warning that removal would result in prosecution. Diphtheria and scarlet fever were lumped together as “throat distemper”, yet had different colored notices; blue-gray for diptheria and scarlet for scarlet fever says my memory. Diptheria was much feared with thousands of cases reported each year, with large numbers of deaths. Scarlet fever was also a feared and deadly childhood bacterial infection characterized by an extremely high fever and unique red rash. The extremely high fever caused the death of my older brother in 1933. It was unfortunate that scarlet fever and diphtheria were often linked with poverty or unsanitary conditions. As a result, quarantine posters did play a part in limiting the spread of these diseases, but they also perpetuated the stigma by identifying who had the disease emphasizing isolation rather than education. Typhoid fever immunization was required for our family to join my Father overseas before World War II. As I remember, the posters for typhoid fever were a light purple. In the thirties [1930s that is], there were relatively few families who owned cars, so there were few garages. With so little traffic on our streets we were seldom disturbed playing “stick ball” in the streets. In the winter we could play “hockey” with old brooms and a pet milk can. There were alleys to play hide ‘n seek. Out front there were slate sidewalks for roller skating or riding home made scooters. For many years following World War II, it was a rare event to experience a sighting of our National Bird, the Bald Eagle. Along the shores of Lake Erie today there is a return of the bird. Perching high on a tree top they are a majestic sight. It is a lucky sight ... luckier if you sight a pair. They do travel in mating pairs. Often, with wing spans of six or more feet, the sight of them soaring high above captivates a person. Their screech vibrates excitement, like the sound of bagpipes. And this brings me to say that Veteran’s Day was this week. Courthouses closed, Government offices closed, there was no mail delivery, and many small cemeteries, with the help of volunteers, put flags on the known graves of Veterans. I learned that the place where my Father is interred doesn’t do that for Veteran’s Day. When asked why they didn’t; the answer was that they have more than 35,000 people buried in the cemetery. They only place flags at grave sites for Memorial Day. I mentioned that there had never, despite my request each year, been a flag placed at his grave even on Memorial Day. Their answer was that I was always welcome to place one there myself. They “always have extras at the office” and I could pick one up. Or, I could volunteer to place flags on Veterans’ gravesites for them, and they would even see if I could be assigned my Father’s section. Gee, I guess I could. After all, Dad was “one of the few” and very Proud of it. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.
