luellen00 — 2013-01-15 23:41:07Z

Edward William and Leota Bauby Wegner lived in Parachute. Ed was cremated by Sowder Funeral Home of Rifle. Mae Viola Wegner, Ed and Doris' mom, lived nearby. I'm asking in all the areas Doris' family members relocated to after leaving Nebraska. Last sighting of Doris was in Nebraska when she was about 10 years. Hoping someone recognizes the family

Re: CALVERT / DAVIDSON / BAGLEY

BrianCalvert0508 — 2012-10-28 00:58:34Z

Lycurgus was a great, great grandfather of mine. He was a cattleman and a lawman in Baggs, Wyoming, born Aug. 25, 1846, in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Lots of information here:

http://files.usgwarchives.net/wy/carbon/bios/calvert60gbs.tx...

He had two sons, Kirk and Lloyd, who had a ranch near Lander, Wyoming. One of Lloyd's sons, Roscoe, was my grandfather, and is still living, currently in a retirement center in Pinedale, Wyoming, where he made his home for about 30 years, before moving to run a ranch near Livingston, Montana, until this year (2012).

I have been extensively researching this part of my family's history and would be happy to share what I know, via e-mail. brcalvert@gmail.com. Please put "Calverts" in the subject line.

Re: John B. Zerbe Obit of George White that mentions John B Zerbe

rickkkkkkk — 2012-10-15 15:23:04Z

I have plenty on George White and John B Zerbe's time here in Ohio I live in Summit County North of Stark county. I guess I can provide you with a lot on Johns time here . I know his Mother was Sarah but havent found who if she was married to a Zerbe when John was born. Sarah was about 24 when she married William White who was about 50 when he married Her, then had the 10 kids up to his 70's
my email is batracing@aol.com Send me an email and i will send you what I have on John and his time in Ohio

Re: John B. Zerbe Obit of George White that mentions John B Zerbe

TedZerbe — 2012-10-15 15:07:59Z

I have never been able to find any information further back than where John was born. I am stuck about where you are.
I have tried to find Johns parents (who they were and where they came from).
I have never read about George White, wish I could help you on that.
From what I have read John was married to Maria Smith in Ohio and moved to Cass County Michigan in the 1870's but by then his wife was Sarah I think Sarah was Maria's sister and I think Maria died in Ohio
John eventually left Michigan to live with his son Allen Levi Zerbe in Colorado There are two John Zerbe's buried in Rifle Colorado the other is his grandson
I know that this is not the inormation you are looking for but it is all I know
Good Luck finding George White If I get more info I will pass it on and please you do the same.

birdsong1 — 2012-05-28 04:38:46Z

Our cousin recently sent us a packet of photos found in a box of her mother's mementos. She thinks Florence Anderson was a friend of her mother (Frances Hancock Smith)
On the envelope was written "Florence Anderson"
One of the photos inside was a young man in a WWI uniform.
It was on a post card, and on the back it said "Henry Anderson, Antlers, Colorado Dec. 1918" There were also several anapshots of a young couple and other people, all unidentified. Would like to return the photos to family.

Floyd Henry Anderson

I am looking for Floyd Henry Anderson, he was born January 24, 1889 at West Barre, Orleans County, New York. His parents were Joseph Anderson and Minnie Estelle Sedore. Floyd lived in Michigan and married Flora Alice Holcomb on January 17, 1913 at Saginaw, Michigan. They were the parents of four children, Wendel, Charolette, Robert and Ruth Anderson. I know in the 1940 Garfield, Colorado census he is listed as living there, he is a school teacher. If anyone has a connection to Floyd Henry Anderson or a lead for me, please contact me. Thank You!!

Would anyone be willing to lookup the obituary of Esma Lewis? An elementery school was named after her, but I haven't been able to find very much on her personal life.
Her husband Claude Lewis was a brother to my husband's grandfather. A researcher studying her family contacted me to ask if I knew where she was buried. I don't, and didn't find them in any cemetery index. I thought her obit should give the cemetery name.
