Hi All, Due to great transcribers we have been able to add several new additions to the Memorial Library. We have added 3 selections to the Nebraska Section and one to the U.S. section. All of them are great reads and have some very interesting data for you to use in your research. They all have had all name indexes added: The main address of the Memorial Library is: www.LivGenMI.com/memoriallibrary.htm Keep watching as we have tons of books yet to transcribe and you never know when another one will be added <g> Pam >From Ted & Carole Miller the first two books, who have been so generous with their time, both about Nebraska: New book available as part of "Religion in NE" or "church" page http://www.rootsweb.com/~nechurch/MECHURCH/afl/pages/index.htm "A Frontier Life: Sketches and Incidents of Homes in the West" Written by Rev. Charles Wesley Wells. 1902 Autobiography that touches briefly on experiences during youth in Iowa, Illinois & Kansas, 1841-1861. Thereafter, most of life spent in Nebraska - with short excursions to Julesburg, CO and into South Dakota He became a Methodist minister after death of first wife. Served all over NE - majority of the time on "circuits" where there were no churches. Meetings were held in dugouts, cabins ... eventually in school buildings. Warning! - You may find some of his opinions objectionable! This is a light read in the sense that while the book is not large, the print was! There are portions dealing with some famous frontier incidents - particularly Indian scares & fights. An everyname index has been added, but does not include the "Mr. G..." or "Mrs. B..." or any others mentioned by initials only.
