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.

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.
