Louis Collier HURFORD b. 11 Aug 1875 Butler Co., Neb. the s/o Oliver HURFORD and Louisa (Coon) HURFORD, died after 1920 but when and where?

Louis HURFORD married a 2nd time 5 Jan. 1918 to Mary Faith FELDKIRCHNER b. 20 Jan 1895, died 3 Sep 1979 in Lincoln, Lansaster Co., Neb., the dtr. of Ernest Feldkirchner and Imogene (HETLER) Feldkirchner. The marriage took place in Beatrice, Gage Co., Neb. at the Lutheran parsonage, Rev. A. M. Aetzel officiating. A wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mr. E. Feldkirchner. "The couple will reside at David City where the groom is engaged in the furniture business".
(The Lincoln Daily Star, Lincoln, Nebraska Jan. 7, 1918, pg. 8.)
I was unable to locate Mary or Louis/Louie, L. C. Hurford anywhere in 1930. Mary HURFORD was listed as a school nurse, Widow, in city directories for Lincoln, Neb. in the mid 1940's.

Does anyone know this family or their whereabouts in 1930?
Thank you.
Elsie

Hello Elsie,
In 1930 I find Louis and Mary F. Hurford in Columbus, Platte, Ne starting their own furniture store, this from the Columbus Directory.
I find the Louis C. Hurford is buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery, Omaha. No dates yet.

Surnames: Hurford/Feldkirchner/Hetler
Oh my, you are an angel. I looked everywhere for them in 1930, but only found them together up until the 1925 Arkansas City, Cowley, Kansas census. I had found a newspaper article in The Lincoln Daily Star, Lincoln, Neb. dated Feb. 27, 1917 when H. C. Yarwood accepted the position as manager of the carpet and furniture store of Sweser and Co. He succeeded L. C. Hurford who had handed in his resignation a few weeks before. Mr. Hurford had been connected with Mr. Sweser 23 years. At the end it showed David City Enterprise.

I don't know if Mary Faith would be buried there or not.
Her death certificate showed she died 3 Sept 1979 in the Homestead Nursing Home and under Burial it showed Removal, Sept 3, 1979, then Anatomical Board (U.N.) to Omaha, Neb., Funeral Home Roper and Sons, Inc., Lincoln, Neb. I don't know what Anatomical Board means unless she donated her body to science. I haven't seen this before.

Thank you so very much. This answers my question about Louis Hurford. Mary Faith (Feldkirchner) Hurford is on my Hetler family tree from Lee Co., IL.
