Re: Taylor / Harvey

sarahkbeck — 2008-01-03 20:55:48Z

I am researching the Taylor's from Nebraska. My great-grandfather, Leroy (Roy) Curtis Taylor was born there in 1899. A 1930 census states he is the son of Leo C. Taylor and Maurie Taylor, but I have not yet been able to verify this. An 1880 census for this same area states the L.C. Taylor (Leo C.?) has a sister named Kittie Bell Taylor, about two years older than he. Leo was born about 1870. Do you think they may be connected? I've been running into dead ends with this family! Leroy Taylor's WWI draft registration card was from Morrill County with is present day Cheyenne County.

Clarence Knapp SMITH Obituary

MichiganDianne — 2001-06-27 15:09:25Z

Clarence Knapp SMITH born 3 Nov 1866 at Union Grove, Tama, IA, died 8 Sep 1901 at Whitman, Grant, NE. Buried 10 Sep 1901 at Whitman, Grant, NE (son of Charles Wesley SMITH and Alvira Beatta KNAPP)

Obituary for Clarence Knapp SMITH (typed as written) paper unknown:

In Memory of Clarence K. SMITH was born in Tama Co., Iowa, Nov. 3, 1866. He lead a Christian life, and was faithful worker in the league for sometime. He moved with his parents to Hooker Co., Neb. where he married Miss Emma McADAMS, Dec. 25, 1892, and afterwards moved to Grant Co., Neb. where he lived until his death. From the union there were born five children, one boy and four girls.

Clarence SMITH was accidentally hurt last Friday evening, which caused his death Sunday Sept. 8, 1901. He was stacking hay and the stacker or the hay crowded him off the stack: he jumped, striking on a fork sticking in the ground about four feet from the stack; the handle entered the bowels, and he lived but 36 hours.

He leaves a wife and five children and a father and three brothers, with a host of friends to mourn his untimely death. The funeral was held at Whitman, Tuesday at 3 o'clock, a large and sympathetic gathering attended.

He was laid to rest in the Whitman Cemetery in the family lot.

I have a postcard sent to Mrs Kittie Harvey of Taylor, Loup Co, NE from her brother ? Taylor, of Whitman, Grant Co, NE. It was sent Dec 3, 1909. In it, it mentions the names of Lester, Ralph, and Roy. I believe these people to be Taylor's. This postcard has been in our family for many many years, no one is sure where it came from or if it is part of our family. I have been doing the genealogy for over 10years and these names do not ring any bells. Any info, or anyone like a jpg image of it let me know please.
