I am searching for John Schurman/Schurmann born about 1878 in Nebraska, possible son of RH Schurman/Schurmann. John was in Brown Co., Nebraska in 1900. He's listed as a servant with with William D. McCord. Also in Brown Co., NE in 1900 is Andrew Schurman/Schurmann (in Ainsworth). I believe John and Andrew are brothers.

April 1902 - John Schurmann and Marie Lutthans are married in Dodge Co., NEB.

1910 - John H. Schuman and wife Marie H. are living in Brown Co., NE (Ainsworth). Andrew also in Ainsworth. I believe John H. and Andrew are brothers, and possibly sons of RH Schurman (Cuming, Dodge Co., NE).

1920 - I can't find John. I may have found Marie in Great Falls, Montana as a nurse. Andrew still in Ainsworth, NEB

1930 - I can't find John or Marie. Andrew still in Ainsworth, NEB

1934 - Marie died in December and is buried in Sultan Cemetery in Snohomish Co., WA. Her older sister (Magdalena Schirman's family is in Snohomish Co.) Marie Lutthans is a twin of Matthias Emil Lutthans, born Nov. 1871 in Germany.

Any help with John Schurman/Schurmann????

The 1885 state census for Dodge Co., [found on gen web site for Dodge Co. NE] list Schuman, Rudolph, age 36, born IN, Dorothy, age 35, born BR, August, age 13. Born NE, AN?? [Andrew] age 13, John, age 2, Werry? age 3, [may be Merry], Mitlda, age 1, all in Cumin Twp. Can not find any trace of Rudolph, or August in 1900 etc. Did find a Matilda Sherman, age 26, Head, Single, with sisters, Alma, age 23, Gesina, age 17 and boarder, Rudolph Lutthans, age 9, on the 1910 cenus Cumin Twp., Dodge Co., NE This would be right age for the Matilda listed in 1885. There is a Henry Schurman buried in the Ainsworth Cemetery,but no dates or age listed on index. Stone must not be able to be read. I did find August and sister Anna [children of Rudolph] burried in St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, Hooper, Dodge County, Nebraska but no burial for Rudolph or Dorothy. Maybe someone from that county can be of help.
