I neglected to request any replies to my previous request for information be sent directly to me off-list. I have not other connections to this county, so I will not be staying on the list for long. Thanks for letting me visit. Ed Scriven

From the obituary of Jacob Edward KAELBER I know he was married 24 Dec 1938. I am trying to find out where. He lived in Hyannis, Nebraska, and Merriman, Nebraska, and then he moved to Gordon, Nebraska, where he died in 1979. His wife's maiden name was Violet Maude MC INTYRE. She was previously married to Ray FINLEY. She died in 1995. If anyone can help perhaps by looking in the county marriage index, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much, Ed Scriven
