BOGGS show up in the Taxpayer's section but not in the North Platte listings as the previous names did.

BOGGS Chas A Hershey
BOGGS DeVerne (Irene) Hinman North Platte 1
BOGGS Floyd V (Mildred) Hinman North Platte 1
BOGGS Leland Hinman North Platte 1
BOGGS Lloyd D (Marie) Hershey North Platte 1
BOGGS Manville C Hershey
BOGGS Russell (Golda) Hershey
BOGGS Wm H Hershey

(I don't find a legend in the book but I think there is a Hinman addition and I assume the NP 1 refers to the school district where the land taxes are appropriated.)
You are welcome.

Just an update to say that we made it to the cemetery and it was an entirely satisfactory visit. I found all of the people on my own list and was able to find and photograph a number of requests. Thanks for the info.

Re: Adele Marie Schomer Edney

GretchenFlynnDarwin — 2009-08-28 04:18:01Z

Pam,
The North Platte Newspaper does not keep obits on line for more than probably 7 days.

I would suggest that you contact three different sources to see if they and find anything.
A. The North Platte Library. They have a pretty good genealogy department and people who do lookups. Might already have a card file with the obit on it.
B. The North Platte Telegraph which is the local newspaper.
C. Either the library or the newspaper in Florida.

I did check Genealogy Bank and they did not have it.

Hope you have some luck.

Re: Wellfleet Cemetery

PaulVernon22 — 2009-08-25 02:18:12Z

Thanks very much! I found another 8 family members who are there so it will be a good trip.

And I printed out the photo requests; I'll see what I can do about those if they aren't filled before we go.

Re: Wellfleet Cemetery

GretchenFlynnDarwin — 2009-08-24 23:48:20Z

You can find the Wellfleet Cemetery under Find A Grave. I will put the URL at the bottom of this message. It's long so you will need to cut and paste it.

The picture looks like it is well taken care of. There are 7 requests for photos and 660 listings for internments. You can either do a search by surname or browse thru all.

Any questions feel free to contact me directly.

Thank you so much for the information.

Re: Miller obituaries Lincoln Co lookup,please

GretchenFlynnDarwin — 2009-04-30 23:51:53Z

Nancy,
If you don't get a response to your request for the Miller Obituaries you might contact the North Platte Library.

They have a lot of obits already on file cards and also the microfilms of the North Platte Newspaper which would cover that area.

Very helpful and not at all expensive.

Sorry that I can't help as I live out of state now but be sure to try them. You should be able to get an address and a phone number thru an online directory. If my memory serves me correctly they are on West 4th Street, probably the 1 or 2 hundred block.

Larry Looby at lloobywi@charter.net is looking for the Edward Draper family. In 1916 Edward Draper lived in Lincoln, Nebraska. Edward was married to a Ryan girl, either Mary Ann, Katie, Ella, or Sarah. Rhe Ryan girls father was Edward Ryan of Wymore, Nebraska.

Re: Peyton/Coker

karlakbellamy — 2009-03-17 15:21:49Z

The Sutherland Cokers appear to be a different family. William Stewart "Stew" Coker from Sutherland wrote a book about his life, It Happened In Cow Country. In it he says his Father was William Sherman Coker and his grandfather was John Coker, an Englishman who came to Nebraska in 1884.

Re: Nurses: Lelia Harbert and Luretta Harbert

rlbatty — 2008-12-09 20:57:58Z

Hi
Thank you so very much for checking on this for me, I appreciate it so much. Lelia was my aunt and Luretta was my mother, I heard stories from them as I was growing up about them working as nurses - for some reason my mother did not continue as long as Lelia, she was afraid for some reason at the hospital. I would love any info, pictures or whatever you might have. I do have their census info for those years and I do only find Lelia actually living away from home while working at the hospital - just could never find info on the hospital. Again, thank you so much for your time and effort on this and for offering to send photos, would love to have them. If there is anythin I can lookup for you here in CA or otherwise, please let me know and I will be glad to do it.

Source for Birth Records

SarahMorris1701 — 2009-01-17 08:03:05Z

Other than sending a request to the State, is there a database or genealogy society that would have a 1910/1911 birth record?

I'm searching for a twin birth, Frank (likely Francis) and Frances Bradley, born in North Platte or vicinity in 1911 (possibly 1910). Parents were Ernest & Cora.

Thank you!

Re: Source for Birth Records

GretchenFlynnDarwin — 2009-01-17 16:21:25Z

Sarah,
You might try the North Platte Library. They have some people doing Genealogy there.

Ernest and Cora Bradley are buried in the North Platte Cemetery in case you need the dates.

In the 1930 Census it says Frank was working for the Railroad so I tried the SSDI for a Fran* Bradley that the SS Card was issued by the railroad.

Found the below. It was the only one that was a 1910 or 1911 birth. Then I asked for a FRAN* b. the same date and card issued in Nebraska. Don't know if this your Frank and Francis but you might send for a death certificate for one or both to make sure.

SSDI

Name: Frank Bradley
SSN: 720-03-2511
Born: 14 May 1910
Died: Aug 1967
State (Year) SSN issued: Railroad Board (Issued Through) (Before 1951)

Name: Francis Layton
SSN: 508-14-4766
Last Residence: 68504 Lincoln, Lancaster, Nebraska, United States of America
Born: 14 May 1910
Last Benefit: 68504 Lincoln, Lancaster, Nebraska, United States of America
Died: Apr 1984
State (Year) SSN issued: Nebraska (Before 1951)

Hope this turns out to be yours, Gretchen

The Obit is available. However there is a $2.95 charge from the North Platte Telegraph. You might however, contact the North Platte Library and see if they already have the obit on file.

Usually the only charge from them might be a copy fee of $1.00 or less.

Here's the site where you can pay the $2.95 fee.
Hope this helps, Gretchen

You posted your message on the "Lincoln County" board.

Lincoln County is in the Southwest part of the state which includes the city of North Platte.

The city of Lincoln is located in the southeastern part of the state and is located in Lancaster County.

You might want to repost your message on that board.

Re: 1959 Obituary lookup please

GretchenFlynnDarwin — 2008-09-24 15:24:06Z

If you don't get a reply.....try contacting the North Platte Library. They usually have someone that works on Genealogy (not employed by the library however) that will see if the obit is already in the card file or if they have the microfilm for that time period.

Very nice ladies, have helped me lots of times.

Re: DRAPER, RYAN

GretchenFlynnDarwin — 2008-11-12 23:25:51Z

Larry,
You were looking for Ryan Draper in the city of Lincoln but you sent your post to "Lincoln County" which is on the west side of the state.

The city of Lincoln which is in the east side of the state is in "Lancaster County" so you may want to repost your request to that site.

Hi Terry,
Sheldon was the police chief here in North Platte when he was shot and killed by some guys trying to rob a place. There is alot of information about him if you want copies. I was wondering why they called him Charlie Rose. That's the first I've heard of it and I thought I knew alot about the man.

Re: Nurses: Lelia Harbert and Luretta Harbert

andys8th — 2008-12-09 19:34:25Z

Hi Darlene,
I checked census records and found the whole family on the census in 1920 in Broken Bow, Custer Co. Nebraska. It's a neighboring county to us here in North Platte, Lincoln County. I then looked in the 1930 census and only found Lelia as a nurse. The house she was living in still stands today. It's a big beautiful stone house on a corner and the Platte Valley Hospital building is also still standing. She lived only one block from the hospital. It wouldn't surprise me that Luretta would of been a nurse also at the same hospital. North Platte had several neighborhood hospitals at that time. Luretta just wasn't on the 1930 census with Lelia. Don't know where she was. Do you want pictures of the house and hospital buildings. It wouldn't be a problem for me to get them to you. I live only a couple of blocks from both of them.
Kaycee

I will look for them

andys8th — 2008-12-08 12:45:32Z

I'll do some checking on both Lelia and Luretta Harbert and see if I can find any records of them being in the area. If I find some I'll let you know what I find.

Construction of St. Patrick's HS, North Platte, in early 1950s

CharLou104 — 2008-07-31 02:12:02Z

I am searching for photographs taken during the construction phase of St. Patrick's HS in North Platte. The school opened in Jan. 1955. Unfortunately, there are no known photographs of the construction. These pictures would be incorporated into a history of the high school which is available on the alumni web site. Either photographs or recommendations as to where to find photographs or newspaper articles containing photographs would be appreciated.

Re: Peyton/Coker

Sidetrackedresearcher — 2008-10-26 02:35:32Z

Could you tell me more about this Walter Coker? I am searching for a Walter Owens Coker who was born 16 Jun 1895 in Indian Territory which is now present day Oklahoma. His father was a Joseph Peyton Coker. This Coker family moved from Georgia to Comanche, Texas in 1840 to 1850. The last record I found for Walter Owens Coker was in Santa Barbara, California where he registered for the WWI draft. He was married and had one child. He is also on the California voting list in Santa Barbara but not found on the list in 1920 or after. He possibly died in California before 1920 but since I saw your reference to the name Peyton and Walter Coker; I decided to ask.

What is the connection between your Peyton family and the Coker family?

Best,
