Hi! I am trying to find some "kind soul" to do a look-up in the 1914 University of NE year book. Any one out there that fits this description? Thanks, Fern

My Gardner/Binns family arrived in 1869. They built a beautiful stone house out in Raymond. When Henry Binns died in 1880, they moved to Lincoln. Fred Gardner ran a jewelry store at 12th and O for about 70 years. I have not found Fred's older brothers Tom and Harry. Both were born in Britain in the 1860's. Mary Brockmeyer http://www.home.earthlink.net/~maryhbrock/

I am searching for John Stephen FRIELER dob Dec. 26, 1879 in Cincinatti, OH. I have traced him to a law suit between the name AXTELL with attny. George Thomas in Jefferson Co., Fairbury, Ne in 1910-13. I could not find records of the 2 boys John Maxwell or Frederick Arthur in the Fairbury School dist. I was told that they resided in Lancaster County and that John Stephen FRIELER worked for a creamery. He was at one time m. to Eleanor J. Williams, but somewhere along the line they seperated. Eleanor was mentioned in the final papers of the law suit, but that could have just been part of a property settlement. I have also found that he entered WWI in 1917 at Fremont, ID. Any help to find my FRIELER line would be so welcome. John Stephen FRIELER who may or may not have still been married to Eleanor Marion WILLIAMS. There were 2 children of this issue, John Maxwell and Frederick Arthur. Last record I find of them were in Jefferson Co. involved in a property dispute with James and Olive AXTELL. Wether or not they lived on this property is not known. I find no record of the children in the district #8 school district that connects to that property. The Jefferson Co. Court indicates that they were in Lancaster Co. in 1913.

Thank you so much, Marilyn, for replying to my query, but don't think so as my Nora was born in MO. in1871. She was born a Saunders, but later was listed as a Schaaf, and still later a Rush and finally an Anderson......and they say the present generation is loose!!!!!!

Does anyone recognize family THOMPSON, John M(illar or Miller) born 1863 in Steubenville, Ohio; died 1941 in Lincoln At one point he was John Deere equipment dealer in Lincoln. He was a farmer in the Doniphan/Hanson area about 1887-1890. He married in 1887 Amanda Elizabeth Swigert, born 1862-3 in Missouri. We don't know where they married, and very little more about Amanda. THOMPSON, James (born Mar 4, 1829 in Derry Co Ireland, died Feb 4, 1905 in Lincoln) was father of John; James married in Ireland (when?) Nancy Jane Millar (Miller?) born Jan 20, 1836 in Derry Co.Ireland, died Jan 20, 1918 in Lincoln. Joseph H. THOMPSON, who is also buried in this particualr THOMPSON plot, born Mar 1865 and died June 2, 1895 may have been a brother of John M., but we have no verification, and know nothing more about him. All are buried in Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln. Any information about this family is appreciated, as there are many 'holes' in this story. Thank you kindly. Judy Shone

Hello Lancaster Listers, I am researching my 2nd great-grandfather's family. He was Daniel Clinton Brown, who married Elizabeth T Haskins in Porter County, Indiana. Daniel and Elizabeth moved to the Lancaster Nebraska area about 1865 (present in 1860 census of Porter County, Indiana, not in 1870. Present in 1875 State Census of Nebraska, plus children's birthplaces). According to a brief newspaper report, Daniel Clinton died in Roca, Lancaster, Nebraska in 1892. I do not know where he is buried. I do not know where his wife died. They had these children: 1. Mary Jane Brown, b 1855 married George Crawford 1872 in Lancaster, NE (no further information = NFI) 2. Joseph Manuel Brown, b 1857 married Martha Jane Van Cleave in Kootenai County, Idaho (my direct line) 3. Elizabeth Brown, b. 1860 married David Steele (NFI) 4. Lilly Dale Isador Francis Brown, b. 1861 married (first) George Stassen (NFI) 5. David Ralph Brown, b 1863, NFI might have moved to Idaho then Washington State, might have been a preacher. 6. Gilroy Everett Brown, b probably in Nebraska, married Pearl Haskins cousin to Elizabeth Haskins, (NFI) 7. Melroy Brown, died as a child according to my grandmother. 8. George Brown, b. 1872 (NFI) My Joseph Manuel Brown moved to Kootenai County, Idaho, married, had his children (my grandmother included) and died there. Daniel Clinton Brown had a nephew, named Daniel Clinton Brown who came to Nebraska with my Daniel. He is buried with his wife, Eliza J. Miles, in the Wyuka Cemetery. I also believe that a brother of my Daniel Clinton Brown, Edward Brown, who married Margaret J Fleming, moved to Lancaster, Nebraska with or soon after Daniel Clinton. There is a Fleming Brown buried at Wyuka. I am interested in corresponding with any of these Brown or Brown-related lines to find out what happened to the rest of Daniel Clinton's family, etc. Thanks, Kathie mkfelsted@worldnet.att.net

Does anyone have a Nora Rush (Mrs. Edwin D.) Anderson in their line. Think she lived in or around Lincoln in the 1900's as my Grandmother Saunders mentioned her on a postcard she mailed to her mother. She also told of a Grandma Shepard. Any help with these names would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mary Jane Parsons<><

Would anyone know if the (formerly) Rock Island RR trestle that crosses the Union Pacific tracks, west of Lincoln, is still there? I've been researching a Rock Island train wreck that occurred on August 9, 1894, where the tracks on the trestle were sabotaged, and the fast-moving train fell some 40 feet below onto the UP tracks. My great-grandfather, Harry Foote, was a brakeman on the train and was injured, while saving the lives of two of his fellow railroad men. He apparently died from complications from his injuries a few days later. Anyway, I was wondering if the trestle was still there, and if it was, if someone would be willing to take some pictures of it. Thanks! Linda in California

Researching BASSLER family of Lincoln, Lancaster County, NE. Starts with Willis J.Bassler, from Northampton County, PA, who arrived Lincoln about 1876. His brother Robert Luther Gideon Bassler arrived shortly after 1880. Willis married Fredericka G. Burlow and Robert married Hattie Taylor Gulick. Many Basslers buried at Wyuka Cemetery. Regards, Ed Bassler

Have a stray LANGDON whom ma a SCott in IA and family was from ? was I think in OH at one point and maybe PA before?? guessing strictly. Emma Langdon m Corneilius Scott in IA I beleive. maybe OH But died IA NE MO area. SusiCP

Sorry I forgot dates - the kids were born between 1852 and 1875, the family settled in NE for good in 1870-72 (they trickled in), and the last of the kids died in the 1960's as near as I can tell. Jo N.H.

These names are all connect to William Kelly, married to Mary Casey. Their children were born in IL, MN, NE, and IA, daughter Mary married John Fitzgerald, Lincoln railroad man. Son William married Mary Kelleher from Sterling. Daughter Ellen (Nellie) married Ode Rector, Lincoln druggist. Other children were Michael, Thomas and John, and I believe two more boys making 8 children all together. Most of these family members are buried in Calvary Cemetery in Lincoln, which apparently was once known as St. Theresas. The family farms were near Greenwood NE but in Lancaster Co, where the many folk moved or retired to as they grew older. Sound familiar to anyone? Jo Newkirk-Hornecker

Hi to all, it has been quite a while since you all have posted to the list and we do have a few new subscribers. Please why don't you all post your Lancaster County names and the lines that you are having trouble with. Please be sure to put an attention grabbing subject in the subject line such as the surname and time frame. Also if you have any genealogy research tips to help folks researching in Lancaster County, this is the place to post them. Don't just post your surnames but be a bit more specific and if you have collateral lines mention them because it may help you connect with someone who has more on the family you are working on.
