I came across a message you wrote on the internet in April 2000 to K.B.Cook regarding the Mosher and Wilber families through Kitty Darlene Mosher Wilber. One of her sons, Stephen Wilber was my father-in-law. This connection is very exciting. Please feel free to contact us below. Last year I was able to visit the Hopeland Buda Cemetary in Buda IL where Kitty's parents and grandparents, etc are buried. I made gravestone rubbings and took lots of pictures. I have contact information on many of the relatives you mentioned in your posting.

Re: Civil War soldier George P. Ewing of Chappell, NE 1844-?

I did try Google, but thanks for the tip! I google everyone I research and try everything I can think of (george p. ewing; george ewing; ewing; george p.; ewing, george, etc.). I've found a few bits of info here and there about him, but nothing that has been really helpful in terms of where he is buried. I've got census records, military records... Google is definitely a great resource!

Re: Civil War soldier George P. Ewing of Chappell, NE 1844-?

kbk160 — 2009-04-22 21:59:11Z

If you haven't already done so, you might search Google for "George P. Ewing"

Be sure to use the quotes, otherwise you will be overwhelmed.

Civil War soldier George P. Ewing of Chappell, NE 1844-?

rubyofoz — 2009-04-21 23:42:46Z

Looking to find a death date and burial place for George P. Ewing, as well as the names of his six children who predeceased him.

George was born to Matthew and Sarah Ewing in Trenton, Oneida County, NY on February 17, 1844. He enlisted in Co. G of the 108th NY Volunteer Infantry in 1862, and was mustered out in 1865. In 1879, George moved from Rochester, NY to Chappell, Nebraska. He married a widow, Anna Shove, who had two children named Maude and Louis Shove. George and Anna had six children together. Anna Shove Ewing died in Chappell, NE.

I found a possible match for George Ewing in the Chappell, NE 1910 federal census, although his birth month and birth year are off. Hoping someone can tell me his death date and place of burial. Thanks!

Family of Ruby CHASE and James BROWN (early -mid 20th cent.)

Seeking information on the family of Ruby CHASE and James BROWN. Ruby Chase was the daughter of Newton Asbury Chase and Carrie Elsie LESLIE. Ruby was born about 1902 in Minnesota or Colorado and apparently married James Brown sometime in the 1920s.

Ruby Chase is a 3 X great granddaughter of Alexander NEGLEY (1734-1809) of Pittsburgh, PA and would have been my 4th cousin. I am working on a project to identify the descendants of Alexander Negley.

Ruby and James had three daughters: Arvilla Brown, b. 1926 (m. Ben FRY); Lois Brown, b. 1927; and Beverly Brown, b. 1929 (m. Neal JACKSON).

I have been unable to identify either Ben Fry or Neal Jackson in the U.S. Census.

Willing to share information.

Need a researcher. Looking for Eveline LINCOLN in Park, 1900

Revae — 2008-10-20 16:56:12Z

I am seeking someone to perform lookups/researching for Eveline (SHANNON)LINCOLN b. IL 1856. She is listed with her mother in Park in 1900 census but cannot locate her thereafter. Her mother is Phebe Augusta b. 1835. Her surname is unreadable on census, Easser/Erssev. Eveline's, son, Charles, is living with her.

Family "stories" state Eveline died in a house fire. As Deuel is the last place I can locate her, I would like to know if she died there. Also her mother.
Please email me.

If this is second post I have placed on this topic, please excuse. I really, really need your help.

I note on the 1930 that Anton and Mabel name first two children: Mary and George. Location, names and age fits.
Could be wrong?

Looking for any other publication/document that might provide more information on this person. I have a "lost" relative with the name of Charley Anderson and his brother was living in Chappell and listed in the same Gazetteer. Still not sure if right guy. Where can I find original land grant information for homesteads in the area?

Charlie Anderson / Anderson Family Duel Co. 1885-1900

2005-12-13 06:41:37Z

At least a part of my family (the A. J. Anderson Family) came to Duel County in about 1885 from York, Nebraska. There is a "lost" brother to A. J. Anderson, his name is "Charlie" or "Charly" -- but may have been a nickname or such. He was originally Carl August and probably changed his name at the time of immigration... I am not even sure he came to Duel County. Just wondering if anyone finds that name familiar! If so, please let me know.

Re: ADOLPH & OSCAR ANDERSON--FRANK LINDSTROM

KRUMM family in Deuel County, NE - abt 1920 to 1952

TomSchmidt28 — 2006-01-07 22:51:09Z

Hello,

I am tracing the descendants of Christoph Schmidt (b. 1849, Iowa, d. 19??, Nebraska) and have traced one of his daughters, Sarah Louise Schmidt who married Frederick W. Krumm, to Swan Precinct, Deuel County, Nebraska circa 1920.
I believe Sarah passed away on about 7 July 1941 in Deuel County, and I believe that Fred Krumm passed away on about 30 May 1952 also in Deuel County.

They had at least two daughters, Opal (b. 1912?) and Pearl (b. 1914) who moved with them from Lancaster County to Deuel County. I am currently unable to find any traces of Opal or Pearl after about 1930 in Swan Precinct, Deuel County, NE.

If anyone has information to share I would be delighted. I have a considerable amount of information regarding their grandfather, Christoph, and his wife, Sophia. I have far more information on Chris' brothers (John, Fred, Henry, J.B., and Conrad Wolfgang) and sisters (Anna Barbara and Amelia) and their parents, Fred, Sr. and Anna Katherina and other descendants. (Plus a tiny bit of information on Fred Krumm's parents, Michael and Augusta (Golz) Krumm.

Thank you.

Mabel 'Unknown' Lehn?

NicoleMT — 2007-07-14 02:52:07Z

I am trying to find information on a woman named Mabel. I do not know her maiden name. She was born 1911 most likely in Wisconsin, possibly Washington County, WI. I also do not know her nationality or who her parents were. She married a man named Anton Lehn (b. 1902) They lived in Washington County, WI area. I believe at one point may have lived in West Bend, WI, or that area. Anton & Mabel had 7 or 8 children - 4 boys, 4 girls. They then divorced. Mabel may have remarried and had more children - (yikes!) I know I do not have much to go on here; if anyone can make some sense of this or piece something together I would be extremely appreciative.
