G'Day Folks, Recently I began posting a once a week note "from ListAdmin". The purpose was dual -- to give researchers something that might be of value and to allow subscribers to the list that their subscription was still valid [that they had not been "bounced"]. These were to be and are posted on Sundays. Due to the recent death of a family member, I neglected to get one posted last Sunday, so with apologies, I send this "johnny-belately". "Things I learned while looking for something else": [Sidney Harris, Columnist, Chicago Tribune] Some years ago traveling toward Boston, my wife and I were driving through, either Vermont or New Hampshire, when we passed a caution sign with an animal silhouette. It warned drivers to drive carefully, that "the life you save might be your own". The silhouette was of a "moose" ... big ole antlers. In the recent November 2003 issue of the National Geographic Magazine, it was reported that near Sequim, Washington, some "elk" are tagged with radio collars which trigger or activate flashing crosswalk signs along US 101. These caution signs with flashing yellow lights show the silhouette of an "elk". How about that for the preservation of life -- 2 and 4 legged? I should mention for those who wish "correctness" that the silhouette of the "elk" is really a wapiti and that of the "moose" is an elk. But, then an American buffalo is really a bison. Oh, well! Family Search <www.familysearch.com/> has placed on their website feeless access to (1) The 1880 US Federal Census w/ca 50 mil individual names (2) The 1881 Canadian Census w/ca 4.3 mil individual names (3) The 1881 British Census w/ca 25 mil individual names. I admit that I have not visited this familysearch.com site to verify that it is "feeless". Celebrate Veteran's Day. Wado, Bill Oliver ListAdmin

Hi, I just found that my Dicey Ann Hooker married a Elias Beasley. Elias was born abt. 1836 in Indiana. I have them in Cheyenne Co., NE in 1900, then lost them. Dicey or Ann as she was also known, I know was alive in 1911 because she was listed as surviving her sister, Lucinda Bumgardner. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who knows anything about Elias & Dicey. Thank you, Linda http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~treesearcher

Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, March 31, 1919 DEATH CLAIMS MRS. CLAUS BOETEL, SR. Husband to Mourn Her Death � Funeral Sunday >From Saturday�s Daily. The Death Angel came during the night last night, bearing a summons to Mrs. Margaret Ann BOETEL, from the other world, where there is no suffering or sorrow or trouble. Mrs. Boetel has been a patient sufferer for a long time from the ravages of a cancer, and her spirit responded to the call of the angel as she passed from this vale of tears to the portals of the Great Beyond. During her sickness, she suffered intense pain, as is so often the case with cancer ailments. Miss Margaret Ann RIPPLE was born at New Castle, Pa., July 20th, 1852, and came west with her parents in 1856, when she was but four years old, and has made her home here ever since. She continued to reside with her parents until the time of her marriage with Claus BOETEL in 1872. To this union were born twelve children, seven of whom preceded their mother to the other world, and five surviving their mother, all of whom are making their homes in this city. They are John BOETEL, Claus BOETEL, Jr., AND Frank BOETEL, and Mrs. Margaret TULENE and Mrs. Ellen CHEVAL. She leaves also her aged husband and a brother, Edward C. RIPPLE. All the children, together with the husband and her brother, were at her bedside last evening. While her sickness had been filled with intense suffering the approaching end was sensed by the departure of the excruciating pain she was wont to suffer and when the end came it was most peaceful. Born July 20, 1852, and passing away March 28, 1919, this good woman was 66 years and 8 months old a little over a week ago. One year ago tomorrow her sister, Mrs. Oswald GUTHMAN, died, and since that time, a brother, Joseph RIPPLE, died at South Omaha. In addition, Edward C. RIPPLE, Jr., died facing the enemy in France and Mrs. Ellen CHEVAL losing a little child, a grand daughter, thus making five of the family during the last year. The funeral will occur Sunday afternoon at two o�clock at St. Paul�s church, Rev. J.H. STEGER conducting the services. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, July 10, 1916 DEATH OF FORMER PLATTSMOUTH LADY [front page] Mrs. Maria Jane Brooks, Passes Away in South Omaha at the Age of 80. >From Saturday�s Daily Mrs. Maria Jane BROOKS, for many years a resident of Plattsmouth and the mother of George and Ben BROOKS of this city, passed away yesterday afternoon at her home in South Omaha after an illness covering several weeks of pain and suffering. Mrs. Brooks had reached the eightieth milestone on life�s journey and her life has been one of faithful Christian service for those she loved the best and with whom she delighted to be able to care for. The family resided here for a great many years where the husband first engaged in switching in the local Burlington yards, and some twenty years ago the family removed to Omaha where they have since made their home and where Mr. Brooks was killed a few years ago while engaged in his work in the Union Pacific railroad yards. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Brooks has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. G.M. STRALEY, in south Omaha, and it was there surrounded by the three children that this faithful and loving mother closed her eyes in the last long sleep that knows no waking on this earth. Mrs. Brooks was a member for years of the Methodist faith having joined the First Methodist church in this city years ago and up to the time of her death was firm in that faith. The funeral services of this good woman will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o�clock from the home of Mrs. Straley, Thirty-sixth and M streets, South Omaha, and the interment had there. She has been ill for quite along [sic] time and the complications arising from an attack of gall stones together with her advanced age, made her recovery impossible and for twenty-four hours preceding death she was unconscious. She leaves the three children and several grandchildren to mourn her death. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard

G'Day Good Folks, "Things I learned while looking for something else": [the late Sidney Harris, Columnist, Chicago Tribune] For all of us over six decades: I am not ready to use that term ... Senior Citizen ... that's for old people. I do remember, though, that when I was twenty I "pumped iron"; today I "pump rust". The date on which each census was taken is a useful piece of knowledge to calculate ages. Though the directions were not always followed, census takers were instructed to take the census on these dates: 1790-1820 First Monday in August 1830-1880 First of June 1890 First Monday in June 1900 First of June 1910 15th of April 1920 First of January The recent years have seen extraordinary developments in technology, as well as, a tremendous increase in the accessibility to census records have put a need for an update to the Chapter in "The SOURCE: A Guidebook of American Genealogy" [SLC, Ancestry, Szucs & Luebking, eds, 1997]. "Finding Answers in U.S. Census Records", Loretto Dennis Szucs and Matthew Wright, Ancestry/MyFamily, 2001] is suggested reading. Wado, Bill Oliver ListAdmin

Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, July 10, 1916 JOHN HESS DIED AT HOME IN WABASH [front page] Funeral was Held at Wabash on Friday, July 7, at 10 o�clock A.M. >From Saturday�s Daily. John HESS, one of the oldest pioneer settlers and highest respected citizens of Cass county died at his home at Wabash on Monday. He has been in failing health for some time and for the past few months has been confined to his home. Mr. Hess was born in Holstein, near Hamburg, Germany, August 5, 1830, where his father, Hans Yocum, was a farmer. His father died in the old country when Mr. Hess was nine years of age. To escape military service in the German army, he sailed with his brother for America, arriving in New York City, April 5, 1853; their final destination being Davenport, Iowa, where he resided until 1856. He removed from Davenport to Plattsmouth, Neb., intending to go down into Kansas, but on account of the Kansas and Nebraska troubles he stopped at Plattsmouth, where he worked until the breaking out of the civil war, when he enlisted, June 11, 1861, in Company A, First Nebraska infantry, under Dr. R.R. LIVINGSTON. In the spring of 1862, the regiment of which he was a member was under the command of General Grant, and participated in the battles of Fort Donelson and Shiloh. From the latter battlefield they went to Corinth, Miss., and were attached to the command of General Lew! Wallace. After the evacuation of Corinth they went to Memphis, Tenn., and Helena, Ar. From Helena they were sent to Missouri under the command of General Steele, stopping at Pilot Knob. From there they were dispatched to Cape Girardeau, Mo., then to St. Louis, where the First Nebraska infantry was mergered into the First Nebraska cavalry. He, with the consolidated regiment, took an active part in the Arkansas campaign. Before leaving Omaha, he was made a corporal, and when the First regiment was mergered into the new cavalry, he was made a sergeant. While in the Arkansas campaign, his term of enlistment expired, he was returned to Omaha, and there honorably discharged on the 12th of August, 1864. In 1856, Mr. Hess married Miss Emily GRAVES, who bore him four children � Frederick A., George D., J. Johnson, and Emily. He lost his wife by death. He came to Elmwood precinct, and homesteaded on eighty acres of land. In 1885, he contracted a second marriage, with Miss Lois GORDON. No children were born to them. Mr. Hess purchased his present home farm in 1879, which he thoroughly improved. He prided himself on the fact that he was one of the earliest Nebraska pioneers. He was the youngest of a family of six children. He was a consistent member of the Lutheran church. In politics he had always been a staunch republican, but had never sought or held any public office, as he preferred the quietude and enjoyment of his own home. Funeral services were held at Wabash on Friday at 10 a.m. and interment was made in the Wabash cemetery. � Elmwood Leader-Echo. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Would SKS do a birth lookup for me? Our grandfather was born (we think) in Lincoln Co., NE on 11-25-1911. His name was Paul A. Springer. We need his information to track his parent's. This would be very, very helpful, if SKS could do this. If anyone know an on-line site that I could search, that would be helpful too. First time searching in NE. Appreciate very much any help on this request. Val

Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, May 8, 1916 THE LATE MRS. EMMA LORENZ OF ODELL, NEB. [page 2] >From Saturday�s Daily. A few days ago, the Journal was called upon to chronicle the death of Mrs. W.J. LORENZ at the hospital in Beatrice, and to the friends of the family this news was most sorrowful and the sympathy of the many friends here went out to the bereaved husband, who for a number of years was a resident of Plattsmouth, being engaged in business with his brothers, L.W. and E.A. LORENZ, in their meat market and grocery. The Odell, Nebraska, Wave, in speaking of the death of this estimable lady, pays the following tribute to her memory and expresses the feelings of the community in which she has made her home: �Mrs. Emma LORENZ was born January 11, 1882, near Odell, and departed this life Saturday, April 29, 1916, aged 34 years, 3 months and 18 days, death occurring in a hospital in Beatrice where she had been taken for treatment. Her death came as a shock to her many friends who were not aware that she was ill. After a consultation of physicians, it was decided to remove her to a hospital and there an operation was advised and performed Saturday morning. She died Saturday evening and her remains arrived in Odell Sunday.� �Of a quiet and unassuming disposition, her friends, where were legion, attested their admiration of her noble character by giving her one of the largest funerals ever held in Odell, which was a fitting tribute of loyal friendship.� �She is survived by her devoted husband, W.J. LORENZ, one of our prominent business men, and to whom she was married June 14, 1911, in Omaha, her mother, Mrs. Josephine PRIBYL, three sisters, Mary, Anna, and Rosy, and seven brothers, Joseph, James, Albert, Frank, William, Milton and George, all of whom have the sympathy of the community in their hour of trouble. She is mourned also by a host of friends and relatives, who valued her influence although performed in a quiet way.� �She was loved by all who knew her and will be missed as one of that grand army whose deeds are not blazoned before the public, but confined to the quiet offices of a loving wife, a willing helpmate, and a true friend. Her interests were those of her husband�s, her aspirations, reward, not here but hereafter. She has laid up for herself �treasures in Heaven where neither the rust nor the moth consume.� � �She was buried from St. Mary�s church Wednesday at 10 a.m., with solemn requiem high mass. Rev. J. Lawrence O�Donnell sang the mass, assisted by Very Rev. E. BOLL of Beatrice as deacon, Rev. A. MOSLER of Crete as subdeacon, and rev. D. CRONIN of Wymore as master of ceremonies. Rev. A. DOWNEY of Bloomington, and Rev. KOPECKY of De Weese, were present in the sanctuary. After the mass, Rev. E. Boll performed the absolution of the body according to the ritual of her church, which was followed by a sermon on death by Father O�Donnell.� �With due solemnity she was interred in St. Mary�s cemetery where all joined irrespective of creed or denomination, in storming the high Heaven with heartfelt prayer and wish that the merciful God shall admit her into eternal bliss. May her soul rest in peace is the devout wish of a loving husband, relatives and admiring friends of Odell.� --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Exclusive Video Premiere - Britney Spears
