Thank you for your reply. If I ever find out about any of those small circuses, and if there is anything about the Harper dog and pony show, I'll be sure to let you know. Jerri

The HARPER's DOG AND PONY SHOW was owned by Fred HARPER not a MAY. Fred was my grandfather and lived in Bennet, Ne. He would contract with a Circus and be only one part of it. In the fall to spring he would train his animals for a new show. Just before going on the road in the he always gave a free show for the residents of Bennet. I do not know the names of the Circuses he worked with and I was a very small child when I saw his show. As a fairly young man he had a stroke, was paralized and unable to talk and therefore had to give up the show and lived in Bennet until he died in 1965 at age 77. Ed Glover

I'm curious to know if a dog and pony show was like a circus. My grandmother claimed that she and her sister did a trapeze act with a small traveling circus in the Dakota/Nebraska area. No one now remembers if she ever told us the name of it. Her name was Irva Locelia Kurrock King (stepfather King) and her sister was Eugenia Mildred Kurrock King. Any connections?

Just a word of caution when posting family information on the internet and mail lists. NEVER post anything on living individuals because this unfortunately is a way for identity theft which is very prevalent. It is also an invasion of privacy to post data on living family members especially without their permission. ALWAYS Privatize your family file before you post anything, be it a GEDCOM file or a genealogy chart or a webpage.

Hi Ed, Yes, yes, yes, we are connected. Clarence (Beans) was one of my Dad's older brothers. My Dad was Harold MAY, who is also buried at Bennet along with his sister, Thelma MAY Herrin, his aunt and Otto's sister, Emma MAY DeWolf, besides the ones that you mentioned. Uncle Beans and Nina visited us after we moved to Colorado. I remember they didn't like our mountain roads. Just last summer I asked one of the volunteers for "Random Acts of Genealogic Kindness" to photograph headstones in Bennet for me. She photographed all the MAY headstones that she found there. There were a couple that I didn't recognize--Ormond E. May, SGT. 18 Bomb SQ. AC, 1920-1943, and Lucille H. May, 1903-1984 (although she may have been the daughter of Myron and May MAY--did you know them?) Hey, thanks for contacting me with that childhood memory of my Aunt and Uncle.

I have information that my Great Great Grandfather, Samuel Richard Lusk, owned 320 acres that is now Lincoln, NE. I haven't found any verification. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My Great Grandfather was supposedly born there in 1875. Where can I find birth records for this time period. Thanks in advance for any help, Steve Lusk

just love AOL sometimes LOL sorry. Susi
