Mr. and Mrs. Giles Hunter

mlbarton12 — 16 Sep 2003 6:11:15 GMT

I'm looking for obits and gravestone info/photos for Giles Hunter and his second wife Belinda (Nausler) Libby. Giles (sometimes Jiles) C. Hunter was born 4/10/1852 in Iowa and lived in Battle Creek from 1910 or earlier. He died 6/7/1933 and is buried in Union Cemetery. There is a Jiles Hunter in the 1930 census listed as an inmate, this may or may nor be he. The cemetery listing on the Madison Co. website has his birth year as 1842, I believe this is an error. I would love to have an obituary for Giles.

Giles married my great grandmother Belinda C. Nausler (often Malinda, often Nauslar) March 14, 1893 in Antelope Co., Belinda was born about 1847 in Iowa and died 9/16/1904 in Norfolk. She was buried 9/18/1904, I don't know where. I would love to have a copy of her obit from Norfolk Daily News 9/19/1904, page 4. Would also value a photo of her grave.

Thanks for any help

Ottillia Anna Laur-Williams is missing!

rotaman — 10 Dec 2007 9:03:50 GMT

Discovered my grandfather, Leo Lloyd Williams had married Ottillia Anna Laur and no one in the family new about her or the marriage. When visiting Norfolk this past fall I found their marriage certificates in the Madison County Court House. Sometime between 1911 and 1920, something happened to Ottillia. Can someone in the Norfolk area help me find out what happened to her. I sent a request to Lincoln for a death certificate and that came back with no record on her. Maybe they were divorced?

Census Oddity in Nebraska

jsacorn — 30 Nov 2006 2:15:40 GMT

In the course of looking for Zuelow (my materna grandmother's people), I find an odd thing. When I search (in Ancestry.com) on Zuelow in all census years for Nebraska, I first get 14 hits in 1900. Then for 1910 they are all gone but one. Then in 1920 there are a very similar 14 back again.

Has anyone else run across something like that or has anyone already found the explanation? I'm certainly curious.

William George Searles

Jerry Sehlke — 22 Sep 2006 6:19:32 GMT

I am looking for information on my gg grandfather William George Searles. The last information I have on him was that he was living with his wife, Elizabeth, and son, George in Central, Knox, Nebraska in 1880 (US Census). However, Elizabeth passed away 2 Aug 1906 at the Nebraska Hospital for the Insane in Norfolk NE and was buried in the Asylum Cemetery on 3 Aug 1906.

William (who often went by George) was about 20 years senior to Elizabeth so I figure that he probably passed away prior to her, so either at Central or in Norfolk. However, I don't have any leads which say that is correct. He may be buried at teh Asylum Cemetery, but I don't know if that is true either...

I would appreciate any assisstance anyone could provide!

Cheers

Joe Boyer, a brother of Robert, his wife and two children, and Messrs. James Boyer, Con. Sexton, Seabert Porter and Willie James, all young men, formed the company. James Boyer will only remain here a week or two to visit relatives, then going on to Colorado. All the others will stay permanently. Joe Boyer is looking for a farm to rent and will no doubt get a good one with help of our real estate men. Nebraska soil is enriching a goodly sprinkling of Grayson county people, but there is yet room for several millions more....
