My cousin in Lincoln sent me these clippings from unidentified Lincoln (I guess) newspapers. One has a handwritten date of Aug 2, 1895. They are obviously the same party, but the names are spelled differently in some cases, and the names are different on each list. My great grandparents are there - it's the summer before they were married (Bird Johnson and my great grandfather is just listed by his last name of Gardner). Maybe one of you will find a family member here. Maybe someone on the list can tell me where Burlington Beach is?
