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.)

muller1938 — 2009-04-09 02:47:55Z

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.

I have been unable to identify the family in the 1930 census, but Ruby Chase was listed with her parents in Deuel Co., Neb. In the 1910 and 1920 census. A more detailed report on Ruby and her family is shown below.

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.

Also in household is Eveline's son, Charles.

After this census I am unable to locate Eveline. I really need to find information for her. Family "stories" state she may have died in a house fire.

Re: Mabel 'Unknown' Lehn?

Nicole, My best guess would be Mabel Kuckuk/Kuchuk, born 1910, WI, to George Kuckuk and Mary A. Scherr.
I note on the 1930 that Anton and Mabel name first two children: Mary and George. Location, names and age fits.
Could be wrong?
Jean

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. Thank you for taking the time to read this mess!

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.

Mr Mauser married Anna Moeller in 1889. He disposed of his blacksmith shop, which he had operated since coming to Big Springs, in 1892 when they moved to a farm north of town. They ranched and farmed until 1915, when they established the present family home in Big Springs. Eleven children were born of their marriage, four passing away in infancy.

Surviving are his wife, Anna; two sons Otto and Ben Mauser both of Big Springs, and four daughters, Mrs Emma Everette of Fort Collins, Colo., and Mrs Howard Rose, Mrs Herman Lehn and Mrs Donald Olson, all of Big Springs. A son, Charles Mauser, died in 1936.

I too am researching the Berquist name. I am intereste in learning more about what your records may show for Frank Berquist or Bergquist. I know it is a common name but is this the same one who married Fannie DeLong 12 December 1900? Or perhaps is it his son Frank who married Gladys Pauline Roper in 1926? I have some information on their lineage. I am related to them.

Looking for information on above surnames. All lived in Chappell, Dueul County, NE.

ADOLPH & OSCAR ANDERSON--FRANK LINDSTROM

2000-12-27 12:00:00Z

Surname: Anderson
DATE: Dec 27 2000

QRYTEXT: I am looking for any information on this family. I know that some of the family went to California and that Adolph, father of Oscar and Oscar both died in Merced County, after farming for years in Hilmar California. Marraiges performed in Nebraska would be particularly useful.

Adolph Anderson was a farmer in Deuel Cnty, Neb and can be found on the 1900 census for the county at EU 98, page 3, line 26. His son Oscar appears at page 4, line 21.

My query relates to the nephew Frank Lindstrom listed with Adolph (is it his nephew or his wife's - who were Franks parents) and a similar concern regarding Julia Lunaberg listed as a "sister-in-law" with Oscar (was Julia
married to one of the Andersons or a sister to one of the Andersons wives?)

A second puzzle regarding Julia, she has 4 of her 4 children living, but none are listed as living with her. Where are they?

If you have any marraige records dealing with the Anderson's of Deuel Cnty prior to 1900 I would appreciate hearing from you or one of your associates.

A grandson of Oscar married my wife's sister. I would gladly share all the information I have regarding the Anderson and Boesen families.

Tillmans Hattermans Aufrechts 1900's

2001-06-27 19:58:13Z

I am looking for information on Isam and Ida (Anderson) Tillman. They had 7 children. They were Raymond, Gladys, Theodore(Ted), Mildred, Ralph, Ardis and Earl. Mildred and Earl died when they were young. Gladys married a George Phelps in Julesburg CO. and later lived in Big Springs. Theodore married Dorothy Paulsen and lived in Ogallala. Ardis married Jack Lauer in Big Springs and lived in Chicago Ill. Ralph married Helen Aufrecht in Big Springs and I don't know what happened to them from there. All the children attended school in Big Springs and I have some pictures of a Minnie Hatterman and some other Hatterman girls so I think they might have been class mates. Any information on Isam, Ida, Ray, Gladys, Ted, Mildred, Ralph, Ardis, or Earl and their spouses and the class mates mentioned would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
