I can't tell you much of the family because my parents got divorced in 1968 and we hadn't had much contact with our father, David A Natvik. I did meet his wife Jolene back in 78/79.

This is from an old book called "That Promised Land" where people wrote in to tell about their lives or stories of their ancestors on the prairies. I'M NOT RELATED. I did look these people up in the 1850, 1860 & 1870 censuses to be sure I got the right places and right people. I know nothing more of any of these people. SMOKE SIGNALS FOOLED THEM ALONZO NOBLE knew his sister and her family were coming to Nebraska, and as it happened, 160 acres across the road from his farm were available for homesteading. Alonzo was desirous of having his brother-in-law settle there. On that land, he threw up a shack, and if a covered wagon was seen coming over the hills, he would build a fire in the little hut. As the wagon approached, smoke would come pouring from the chimney, and the driver, assuming somone lived there, would continue on his way. And then the proper wagon appeared bringing the JAMES OSTRANDER family from Wisconsin in 1865, and Alonzo's brother-in-law took immediate steps to file a claim on the land. And this is how, I am told, my great-grandparents came to own the last quarter section to be homesteaded in JOHNSON COUNTY, NEBRASKA. Written by MYRON REESE of Farraqgut, Iowa This James Ostrander was the son of Christopher and Catherine Ostrander. In 1850, there are 2 other Ostranders living on either side of Christopher and Catherine, which I would assume to be brothers to James. One is John and the other is Jacob. In 1860, Christopher is missing and Catherine is living with James, still in Dane Co., WI. In 1870, James and wife, Jane Noble Ostrander are in the Nebraska census. In 1860, Alonzo Noble is in Whiteside Co., Illinois with his mother, Ophelia. He's 19. His father, Ozin is in the 1850 Huron Co., NY census, but missing by 1860. Amy J. (Jane), 17, Betsy, 11, and Chas A. 6, are siblings of Alonzo. Did Betsy marry a man named ? George and have 2 daughters, Elizabeth and Lizzy? They are living with Ophelia in 1860 but Betsy is missing.

From the Wisconsin State Library in Madison: Term: Watts, Oliver Patterson 1865 - 1953 *Definition:* professor of chemical engineering and applied electrochemistry, b. Thomaston, Me. He graduated from Bowdoin College (A.B., 1889), and, after several years of teaching in the East, from the Univ. of Wisconsin (Ph.D., 1905). In 1905 he joined the faculty of the Univ. of Wisconsin, and from that date until his retirement in 1937 served as instructor and professor of applied electrochemistry in the department of chemical engineering. Watts was the author of numerous papers on various developments in electrochemistry, but is perhaps the best known for his development of the hot nickel plating bath known as the "Watts Bath" which he first described in a paper published in 1915. The process came into widespread use, and was eventually utilized by the entire plating industry. After retiring to the status of emeritus associate professor in 1937, Watts continued to work at his laboratory experiments for many years. A lover of the outdoors, Watts spent his summers in travel and camping, but maintained his residence in Madison until his death. He was vice-president of the National Electro-Chemical Society (1926-1927). M. Curti and V. Carstensen, Univ. of Wis. (2 vols., Madison, 1949); Madison Capital Times, Feb. 6, 1953; Univ. of Wis.

Oliver Patterson Watts was a professor at the university in Madison, WI. He was married to a lady named Mary, no children. They were in the 1930 census, but according to Family Search he married again in 1948, Stella Elizabeth Nuzum. So Mary must have died sometime between 1930 and 1948. Mr. Watts was born July 16, 1865, I believe in Maine, and died Feb. 6, 1953, I assume in Wisconsin, and is buried in Columbus, Ohio. A friend in Ohio is trying to put together burial records and obits for a very large cemetery in Columbus to be able to assist other genealogists.
