Without birthdates and knowing where someone was born and when they came to the U.S., it is hard to determine if a hit on a database fits, but I see a Frans Leonard Vidergren on a Swedish cd called Emibas. Emibas was made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. It is about 75% complete.

Frans was often Americanized to Frank. Vidergren and Widergren are the same name. Swedes consider V and W interchangeable.

Tim_Ganser — 2009-05-01 04:43:38Z

Hi,

I'm searching for any information on Gottlieb Ganskow in Madison County, Ne. I believe he is buried at the Kohl cemetery in rural Madison country under the tombstone Father Ganskow. His daughter Lousia Kohl is also buried there. There is also another tombstone Grandfather Ganskow. I know he came to America in the 1880s - had a brick kiln in Norfolk and his wife died shortly after they arrived. The children that I know of are Louise Kohl, Martha Kohl and Paul Ganksow. I would love to know the wife's name and where she is buried and also any info about grandfather Ganskow.

Re: Searching

Oh my goodness! Thank you for all the additional info you have supplied to me via the Nebraskagravestones.org website! I just checked on the Marquardt's. Am glad to get the additional info on Ruth.

Re: Marker Photos

patacake — 2009-04-05 18:10:37Z

I have spent the past two hours submitting photos. Hopefully you'll approve them when you get them. I did add two cemeteries, Union Cemetery in Madison County and Hoskins EUB Cemetery in Wayne County. I didn't see Union come up in the list when I was submitting, but I see you do have it listed in your previous post. Maybe I just overlooked it.

Feel free to email me directly if you'd rather. Thank you again for all your work on this!!

Re: Marker Photos

It is not my web site, but I am the cordinator for Madison and Antelope Counties. I have to check the photos after they have been submitted and then post them on line.
I have pictures for the following Cemeteries: St. John's Lutheran, Union, St Patricks, Osborn and Allbery all near Battle Creek, NE. Best, Trinity Lutheran #2, Iowa Valley, Rose Hill, Tilden, Immanuel Lutheran, McCoy, Deer Creek, Williams, Warren, St. Paul (Buffalo Creek), St. Matthews And St. Mary's in Antelope County.
If you have any pictures from other cemeteries in Madison County, or any other county, feel free to Submit them. If I get all the pictures that I have on line I will be doing good.

I could offer you photos of additional gravestones in Madison County, but I do not have the location and other family history as you do on the Tilden cemetery. Thank you again!

Re: Obit research

rknmelarson — 2009-04-05 14:56:49Z

Thank You for the correction, I have it in my records as St. John's Lutheran, just typed in the wrong name. I have taken pictures of St. John's as well as Union at Battle Creek. I am in the process on getting them on line. The location is nebraskagravestones.org/, if you take a look at Tilden / IOOF you can see what I am trying to do. It just takes time to get all the data entered.

Just a correction on the name of the cemetery in Battle Creek, Nebraska where the Fundum/Vorndam families are buried. It is St. John's Lutheran Cemetery. I will attach photos taken 29 Mar 2009 of the stones you asked about. The quality of the photos is not as good as I would like. My digital was not working and this was a disposable. I will attempt for better photos over Memorial Day.

Their daughter Helen married Joseph O Bstandig so maybe you can find a death date and obit for her (also him if possible, he died Jun 01, 1992 somewhere in Nebraska.
The son Gerald E. died Sep 05, 1992 - he has a son Gerald J but I don't know when he was born.

Re: Obit needed Samuel Kent

bplaner2000 — 2009-03-23 03:05:52Z

Michael,
Here is Sam Kent Sr. obit. I assume with your pictures that you are a descend from his son James Ambrose. What is your relation to Steven Kent who was a policeman from Columbus, Nebraska? I descend from Samuel Kent's daughter Mary Ann who married Nicholas Kent also from Wexford Ireland. Their son Peter Kent was my great-grandfather. He also was a policeman in Norfolk. My sister and her boyfriend have Sam Kent's original homestead and are restoring the house to its turn of the century elegance. I have Kent history I would like to share.
Brian Planer

The Norfolk Daily News
Feb 2, 1917, page 5

SAM KENT, SR., DIES ON HIS BIRTHDAY

END COMES AT HOM IN BATTLE CREEK ON HIS EIGHTY-FOUR ANNIVERSARY.

WIDELY KNOWN AS PIONEER

Came to Madison County in 1870 with $300 and Selected Homestead to Which He Brought His Family.
Funeral to be Held Sunday.

Sam Kent, Sr. known as "Uncle Sam Kent" to hundreds of friends in Madison County and one of the old pioneers of this vicinity passed away at Battle Creek at 2:30 Friday morning, his eight-fourth birthday anniversary. Heart failure was the cause of death. Funeral Services will be held in the Catholic Church at Battle Creek at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Homestead in 1870

Sam Kent was one of the best known homesteaders in this vicinity. Back in 1870 he drove into Norfolk on a stage coach and took a homestead half way between Norfolk and Battle Creek.
Here he reared a fine family, was a successful farmer and on July 14, 1905 he celebrated his golden wedding anniversary. Sam Kent never regretted coming west. Just before celebrating his golden wedding, he told friends that he always pointed to two things with sepecial pride--first, that every move he made since boyhood was a move westward, and second, that his westward course brought him to Norfolk.

The old pioneer was born in county Wexford in the south of Ireland on Feb. 2, 1833. When he was 21 years old he went to Quebec, Canada, with a number of his schoolmates.

He worked in Montreal and at several places in Canada, and sent his small earnings to his parents back in Ireland. The salaries paid in those days were quite small, but by hard work and a thrift which were peculiar to Sam Kent, he succeeded. On July 14, 1853(1855), Mr. Kent moved to upper Canada and married Miss Mary Doyle. With his bride he conducted successfully a farm for a few years. The year Abraham Lincoln was assassinated saw Sam Kent hard at work as a fireman in a sawmill at Lake Huron, Mich. With the small fortune of $300, plenty of health and happiness and full of hope Mr. Kent moved westward, reaching here in 1870. On the same stage coach which brought him to Norfolk, he rode out toward Battle Creek and selected his homestead. His early days were spent in making the acquaintances of the Wisconsin pioneers who welcomed him with open arms. He took up his first abode in a house which had been built north of town by August Raasch. He then sent for his family who found that he had constructed a very neat sod house on his own homestead. He raised corn and was successful in stock raising. He often told of his trips to Columbus and Wisner with grain. He liked to tell the hunters who frequently visited his farm in the later days of the hardships which the old pioneers experienced. His favorite story used to be that of the west, the reward of honest, clean, and industrious living and thrift. He often told how he had made his little fortune of $300 grow larger through hard work and faith in the land of Nebraska.

Thanks for answering. I am researching his grandmother's side of the family and anything I can find on the Fryer side would be helpful. His grgrandmother is Harriett Aubert, daughter of William Aubert and Phebe Carl. She married James Fryer in Mercer County, Ohio. She is a sister to my grgr grandmother, Barbara Ellen Aubert Hanson. I have as his children as told by the family tree of Henry Falenburg, one Patrcia Graae Fryer and several other children. Is this the same person or different. I would be willing to share any info I have on the Aubert family and would like to correspond with anyone in the Fryer family.

Searching death date for Jesse Fields of Tilden

BethJorg — 2009-03-01 03:25:09Z

I am looking for the death date of Jesse Fields from Tilden. He was born approximately 1831 in England, served in the Civil War. I think his death date is between 1914-1920. I'm about ready to write for his death certificate, but I like to have a better date for them to search so it's easier. He is buried in the Tilden cemetery, but there are no dates on his grave because he was a veteran. Any suggestions or help would be great. I've tried everything I can think of (besides the death cert). Thanks.

Re: Searching death date for Jesse Fields of Tilden

BethJorg — 2009-03-06 17:51:21Z

Thank you for your help. I have been to the gravestones. I have a copy of Caroline's death cert and Jesse is listed as the informant so I have his death narrowed down to 1914-1920 I think. I may end up just sending for his death cert. Please let me know if you find you are related.

Re: Obit needed Samuel Kent

michaelsmith8 — 2009-03-28 23:42:47Z

Brian,

Thanks for the obit. I don't suppose you have a hard copy of it with the photo? Somebody sent me one last year that was a photocopy of the newspaper obit, but the photo was just a dark spot on the page. I would be interested in anything you have about Sam or the Kents going back to Ireland. I would also be interested in seeing what Sam's homestead looks like because I have a bunch of Kent photos that I can't ID, some of which are in front of a house. As to Steve, he was my g/g uncle. I assume that if you saw that pics of James Ambrose, you also saw the info on Steve.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Re: Schulz in Norfolk

bettylou135 — 2008-04-27 23:33:12Z

Our Ahlmann family has compiled data of 82 of our Ahlmann ancestors/decendants who originally emmigrated from Prussia in 1883, 1886 and 1888. Some of their home towns include: Besswitz, Schlochau, Waldau, Treblin and Trzebiatkowa, around Kr. Rummelsburg, in Pommern (now Poland with Polish names).

According to oral histoy, prior to settling in Prussia, the Ahlmanns originally came from Schleswig-Holstein, but so far we are not able to connect our data with that area. We've noticed that many Ahlmans dropped the extra 'n' here in the U.S., spelling it 'Ahlman'.

I have too many Ahlmanns to list here, but I'd be happy to share our data if you ask. Bertha was a very common first name from that area in the 1880's, and I have a great grandmother and great aunt Bertha Ahlmann. We also have data from other ancestors from Prussia (via Ahlman spouses): namely Smuda-Von Trebiatowski, Berndt, Bundt, Schmidtke, and Lange.

Our family has only one Schultz connection by marriage, on the 'other' side of the family (Neubauer/ Pooch/ Limberg/ Berndt) in that two sibling uncles married two Schultz sisters in a double wedding ceremony.

You are welcome to have the above birth, marriage and death dates, locations, witnesses, sponsors' names that we have researched from cemetaries, census and county records but mainly from the Ev. Luth. Kirchenbuch at North Morristown, MN.

You say Joe Bridges was your g-uncle. Joe was married to Thursey Caroline (Martin)Chandler Bridges who was my husband's grandmother. Joe was Battle Creek, NE town constable. I have several pictures of gravemarkers from the Union Cemetery and one is of Jacob & Luket Musser. Luket is a sister of Thursey,right? I am looking for information on Grattin H. Chandler and all of these people seem to be intertwined.
Would like to hear from you. F.Chandler

This is my husband's great-great-grandfather!! Thank you so much for posting it!

We have several other obituaries for him, but none are as clear on where he lived, as he moved around so much toward the end of his life.

Where can I view archived copies of the "Battle Creek Enterprise?" I might be able to find some other information on this family which I haven't been able to find anywhere else.

Thanks again!

I am a grandson of Fred Scheerger Sr. I read your post with interest. I thought Battle Creek and area was settled in 1874. My grandmother was Rosina Carolina Schott, wife of Fred Scheerger Sr. I have her death certificate. My grandmother died in 1932. Your Schott died much earlier. I am wondering how and if they are connected. I was under the impression that my grandmother came with two brothers. If you are correct, and I see no reason why you aren't correct, it means the she was here before the other three came.

I'm sorry for the delay in responses. Like you I've been to the Battle Creek cemetary and seen the headstones. Jacob was another g-uncle that I didn't know. I had never heard about his wife being the sister of Thursey. I have documentation somewhere about her maiden name but couldn't find it today.
I presume that you also know that Thursey went by the popular name, Callie, which was how I knew her.
I don't have any info on her family but only on the Bridges. Let me know if I can perhaps help.

Re: William George Searles

jlmurray591 — 2007-03-21 02:26:40Z

Hi Jerry, I am sure this is your Wm. He was hard to trace as he had more than one wife named Elizabeth.
No death certs before 1904 in NE. Doubt there would be an obit either. Elizabeth lives with step dau., Sylvia, for a time. There are a few researchers on the Knox co gen web site who do look-ups.
Jean

Re: William George Searles

jlmurray591 — 2007-03-22 16:11:03Z

Hi Jerry, I know that Wm. was alive in 1890 as he is on the 1890 Vet's census in Central precinct. He served the U. S. as a sailor, must have been Civil War?? but he was in WI during that time frame. I didn't find him on the SUVCW site to confirm military status but did find a Wm Searles of WI who was in the war. Thought he may have been too old for any active duty. But there was a gap in the birth of Jr. and Sylvia, 1860 to 1864ish, our C. W. years.
For the 1850 census I find a Wm G. Searls, age 34, b. Eng, wife Julia, age 25, b. Ireland at Saranac, Clinton co. NY.
HOpe this helps.
Jean

Re: William George Searles

jlmurray591 — 2007-03-21 13:02:57Z

Good morning Jerry,
I believe that Wm. was married to the second Elizabeth at the time of his death. One small note first. With every source, expect errors. So you decide the validity when putting your lines together. This is what I find..
1. William G. Searles marriage to Elizabeth Pearson, on Oct 14, 1882, Knox co., NE ( Genweb site)
2. NE 1885 State census in Central precinct, Wm. Elizabeth, age 47, b. WI, and step son Bendick, age 10, b. KS (Bendick possibly a var. of Benedict) Should you look for this, the surname was mistranscribed as "Learlis".
3. 1900 census confirms the second Elizabeth born WI. First Elizabeth born OH.
4. Dau. Sylvia first married, at age 15, Patrick Kane, s/o James Kane and Anna Martin. She then married Franklin Clark about 1887. Believe they went to ID. I am assuming that Patrick Kane,(also seen as Cain) died as he was probably Catholic, from Ireland, parents are buried in Catholic cemetery, Knox co. NE. Don't think there would have been a divorce. Read a tree in which Patrick was in Greybull, SD in 1916, but I doubt this. Nothing to back it up found
and don't believe a Greybull SD existed. Possible Greybull, WY.
5. An oddity. The date of death for Wm may be off, as many are. I find Elizabeth Searls on the 1890 Farmers Gazeteer, P.O. Kemma, Central precinct, Knox co. Usually head of household is listed. But the age at death I found was correct, according to the census reports which list his age.
6. Believe you are correct in the marriage to a Julia (1850 census)
7. Believe there may be another Wm. G. who married an Isabella.
Have a good day,
Jean

Thank you so much. Genealogy has been a help to me as well. The last three times my father-in-law was hospitalized, it affected his memory. I would take information I found in the library and online and share it with him. He always was able to remember the older relatives even when everything else seemed confused. Each time he regained his full memory.

Dear Nita,

I appreciate you taking the time to look up this additional passage. This information helps me think that there might be additional church records. Do you have any additional information on the Craig family? Our line is through William Wesley Craig, John S. Craig's brother. I have additional information on some of this line and would like to learn more. William Wesley Craig, John's brother, fought in the Civil War for Indiana. Do you have birth and death information on John S. Craig?

Re: Abridged Obituary: Mrs. Martha Craig Dec. 1897

anitathompson999 — 2007-07-23 06:07:27Z

The parts left out of the obit for Martha did not contain any vital information. After the first ..., it reads "Grandma was old and infirm and probably as near ready to die as any person can be who is at peace with the Maker and the world and has reached an age where life becomes almost wearisome.
The other..., "Grandma Craig united with the Christian Church fifty years ago, and was always an acive and faithful disciple of Christ".
Hope this helps.

You can get more information on the Battle Creek, NE area by going to the Madison Co. Genweb site. The book, "Centennial Reminiscing", 1867-1967 by Charles C. Zimmerman, is on the website in full.

I am connected to the Preuner family through Rosina (Preuner) Ketterman Lucht, whose story is also on the website for Madison Co., writen by her grandson, my great-uncle Ernest Reeker.

As the Schott line is a collateral for me, I have not researched it in depth. I hope the above leads will help you with your research. Happy hunting!

I had an ancester there and they died there and this is what my family encountered when looking for them. The Norfolk state Hospital for the Insane and the Norfolk Regional Hospital are the same. All Records (including Death Certificates) are sealed records not even if you prove you are a direct relative can you get the records in the STATE OF NEBRASKA. To find out where our relative was burried and date of death we had to got a Nebraska lawyer to ask a Nebraska Judge to release the records. and it cost over $100. Nebraska has alot of records that are locked and not releasable to anyone. Good luck.

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?

Thanks for the replies to my queries on Ancestry.com. Actually, I am not related to these families. I was asked to do the research on behalf of a very good (and long time) friend of mine, Robert Higbee who now lives in Southern California. Several years ago, Robert "Bob" had seen the family research information on my family and began to ask questions and develop a genuine interest in genealogy and we started talking about getting started. But first, he had to some research in order to give me a starting point. A couple of weeks ago, he was able to give me some sketchy details on what he was able to find in family papers and from a brother of his. So that is how I got started on this research.

Yes, I would appreciate learning more about this family and I am sharing this information with Bob Higbee and his family. Thanks very much for the info that you sent in the posts at Ancestry.com.

Need Help With a Federal Census Schedule Lookup

twcuthbert — 2007-12-09 19:17:25Z

I am looking for the parents of Harold I. Higbee. Harold Higbee was born in August 1898 in Meadow Grove, Madison Co., Nebraska. It is possible that he could be listed with his parents in the 1900 and/or 1910 Federal Census Schedules for Madison Co., Nebraska. It is also possible that he might be listed with his grandmother, Jeanette Saltz who also lived in Madison Co., Nebraska.

Can anyone help with a census lookup.

Thanks,

Tom Cuthbert

Try some different spellings. I've run up against this also.

Schmitts in Madison County, NE about1870-1880

sheriflandrick — 2007-03-31 17:06:57Z

I am looking for the Valentine and Philipine (various spellings) Schmitt family. Children were Caroline, George, Eliza, Molly/Mary L., Bertha, Philipine (various spellings) and Valentine. Would be interested who the girls married. Also would like the names of the Schmitts who are buried in the Zion Evangelical Cemetery (Schmitt/Rottler Cemetery) in Madison, NE if possible.

Thank you so much!

You're great, thanks for everything! You've filled in some big holes and have given me a lot to ponder and research; much appreciated!

I'm off for a week in Las Vegas and San Diego - spring break for my girls, hopefully I'll get to do a bit of genealogy, but if not, I guess there's always "tomorrow"!

Take care and have a qreat day/week!

Hi Jean

Your answer is, hopefully, exactly on-point with the missing link that what I am to discover...

My records have William George married to Elizabeth Chamberlain at the time of his death. According to his oldest daughter's (Margaret) marriage certificate, her mother was named Julia (we believe Julia McCormick but we don't have any conformation). However, the big question is the one that may allow us to connect him with what we believe is family.

I am working with two others who have a William George Searles in their family tree and we're trying to discover whether we have a common ancestor or if we have two, possibly closely related William Georges. I don't have any record of my William George being married to another Elizabeth. We suspect that he had a previous wife named Margaret Searles Grieves from Cambridge Mass.

May I enquire about the source of your information that he was married to more than one Elizabeth and whether it had any additional information that may shed some light on who she was/what her family line is...? If your source doen't have that information, maybe it has some birth date/place etc. information that may be helpful in tying me to the appropriate family.

Thanks!

Jerry

waterbug_1 — 2007-03-22 08:49:24Z

Thanks for the great information! I understand the confusion...there are too many William George Searles...

In this case the confusion is cause by father and son with the same name, both married to an Elizabeth (WG Sr. married to Elizabeth Chamberlain; WG Jr. Married to Elizabeth Tuson Pearson). WG Sr. appears to be the buried in NE, WG Jr. is buried in Lashburn, SK Canada. Elizabeth Chamberlain died in 1906 and is buried in the NE Insane Assylum Cemetery in Norfolk, Elizabeth Tuson Pearson died in 1899 and is buried in the San Juan Islands, WA.

This is the first time I've heard of either Patrick Kane or a stepson Bendick, I'll have to do some digging. I found Sylvia and Patrick on the LDS FamilySearch site based on your tip and in 1880 he's 33, she's 15. you may be right about him passing away...however, he would have only been in his 40s by then, so I don't know...but, I'll keep looking.

It is interesting that you didn't find WG Sr. with Elizabeth Chamberlain in 1890, I would have expected that she would be with him or living with Sylvia, as WG Jr. and their oldest daughter Margaret had moved to WA state by about 1885-1886 (based on their children's b dates/places). I wonder if she was starting to have medical difficulties and was staying with someone else because WG Sr. couldn't take care of her (I belive he would have been about 77 by then). However, I don't know...

Just one quick question, if I may, and then I'll leave you to your peace... Could you please let me know what state you found Julia in the 1850 census?

Thanks again for all your great help and insights, I really appreciate it!

Cheers

Sorry I'm so slow replying - I must not have checked the button to have the message board alert me when there was a response. I just found your message now...

Thanks so much the infomrmation all fits about what I was expecting, so I think that this is my William G!

Are you in Knox Co.? Would you know who I contact to get additional information (e.g., an obituary or death certificate)? If not, I'll do a search through the Nebraska GenWeb site. I need to get a birthdate and/or the names of his parents to confirm that this is my Willaim G.

Thanks again for finding this information for me!

Carol,
When the Regional center 1st opened in Feb 1888 it was known as the Norfolk Hospital for the Insane. The hospital burned in 1901 and was rebuilt and opened in 1905, it was self sufficient, they produced their own clothing, food and power. They had their own dairy farm, butcher house they even canned their own veggies. There is even a cemetery. My grandma worked there for years and my grandpa ran the power plant.

Charles Reeker, resident of Madison county for about forty years, died shortly after noon Tuesday of pneumonia at the home of his nephew, Harry Reeker. He had been sick about a week and the end came without warning.
Services were conducted by Pastor A. H. Schleef at St. John's Lutheran Church in Battle Creek on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. Interment was made in the Lutheran Cemetery.
Mr. Reeker was 51 years, 8 months and 26 days old. He was born at Louisville, Nebraska, and came to Madison county with his parents when he was about 12 years old. After the death of his parents he resided with his brother's family, Fred Reeker, on the old home place northwest of Battle Creek. He never married.
Immediate relatives surviving are a brother and sister, William Reeker and Mrs. John Waud, both of Norfolk, nieces and nephews.

William George Searles

2006-09-22 06:19:32Z

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!

Census Oddity in Nebraska

jsacorn — 2006-11-30 02:15:40Z

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.

Thomas and Jenny Crotty lived in Norfolk, NE. They were married about 1903-04 and had two children: Gertrude, born about 1905; and John, born about 1907. Based on my family research, I believe that Jenny Crotty is the daughter of Henry Kennedy and Elizabeth Gorman, and that she was born in Pennsylvania about 1879. Her father Henry was an older brother of my great grandmother. The Crotty family, her father Henry and his family, and the family of Henry’s brother Michael, all lived in the 4th Ward of Norfolk, back in the 1920s and 1930s.

I would appreciate any information about this family, and would especially like to be contacted by any of the descendants of Thomas and Jenny Crotty to explore the possible family relationship.

Preece, went to Iowa a few weeks ago to visit relatives. A letter was received from Mrs. Preece by her husband last Sunday night but no mention was made of the baby's being ill, so it must have died suddenly. Mr. Wade caught the east bound passenger, which had been delayed by the collison up the line, and thus he was enabled to start for Iowa immediately after receiving the sad news. The baby was a little more than a year old, and being their only child its loss will be felt most keenly. The little one was buried in Iowa.

"When death strikes down the innocent and young, for every frail form from which he lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy, charity and love, to walk the world and bless it.

--DIES AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS--Mrs. Tom Moore Passes Away at Home South of Meadow Grove.--Interment at Fairview.--

>Mrs. Etta Moore, wife ot J. T. (Tom) Moore, died at her home south of Meadow Grove Monday, April 17, after suffering less than two weeks with complications from which medical or surgical aid could not relieve her. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. W. Ford of Meadow Grove at the home Wednesday morning and the remains were interred in the family lot at Fairview cemetery.
>Mrs. Moore was about thirty-eight years old and came to Madison county with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McDaniel, from Missouri in the late '80s. In December 1889, she was married to Mr. Moore, who, with the mother, two brothers and three sisters, survives her. A friend contributes the following appropriate lines:
>"In the death of Mrs. Moore we fully and keenly realize our loss. She was a true friend, and her devotion to those she loved would make a bright chapter in any life. Nothing but the thought of the loving hand that has removed her can reconcile us to her absence. While she has gone from the scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will still live in the hearts of those who knew her best. Her retiring nature led her to hide her best qualities from public gaze, but they were revealed to those who enjoyed her acquaintance; yet it was in her home that her true worth was most conspicuous. She was a kind, loving wife and daughter, and her devotion to the family circle knew no limit. The sunshine of love could not warm her to life nor the affection of wifehood beguile her from drooping. Her breath went out like the exhalation of a sweetly fragrant minion of the woodland and in her stead was left only a holy memory-a memory that will last and sanctify."

Sharon,
The only cemetery index currently is the property of the Madison County Genealogical Society, and they do not sell them. If you go to the Madison Co. Genweb page, http://www.rootsweb.com/~nemadiso/ you will find a link to the Elkhorn Valley Museum and research center in Norfolk Ne. When last I checked, they charge $10.00 an hour for lookups/research. I do believe there is a copy of the indexes in the public library closed stacks, but don't know what their policy is on look-ups.

--DIES IN OREGON HOSPITAL--Mrs. Herman Scheer Succumbs After Submitting to Amputation.--

>Battle Creek relatives have received announcement of the death of Mrs. Herman Scheer which occurred Sunday at a hospital in Oregon City, Oregon. Mrs. Scheer had suffered for two or three years with what was pronounced rheumatism and the family left Meadow Grove about a year ago and located to Oregon with the hope that a change of climate would benefit her. A few weeks ago a gangrenous affection in one limb made necessary the amputation of a foot. From this operation Mrs. Scheer never recovered. Deceased was well known in Madison county and was a Battle Creek resident for a number of years. She was a daughter of Chris Dinkel and a sister of the Dinkel brothers, Mrs. P. F. Zimmerman, Mrs. F. C. Miller and Mrs. Jacob Miller.

Madison Star-Mail:
>A tragic death, the second within three years, occurred in the family of F. L. Danes Monday afternoon. Mrs. Danes was engaged with her usual work, when upon looking up she was horrified to see her little boy, aged about two and a half years, sitting in the entrance of the barn, surrounded by flames. She succeeded in rescuing the little fellow and as he was able to run to the house, she supposed he was not badly hurt. Mrs. Danes then turned her attention to getting out the horses that occupied the stalls, the fire having spread to such dimensions as to preclude its extinction by a lone woman. The horses were all liberated and turned out, but one mule persisted in returning to the burning building and was so badly scorched that it was later killed to end its sufferings. Neighbors gathered to the scene rapidly, but were unable to save any part of the barn or adjoing sheds which were soon reduced to ashes. Besides a lot of hay, considerable oats and wheat were stored in the granary which formed a part of the structure. Of course the hay was consumed as was likewise much of the grain, but as soon as the blaze had died down sufficiently, a portion of the wheat and oats were pulled from the ruins. In the meantime attention had been given to the child (who supposedly started the fire with matches) and his burns were found to be more extensive than at first seemed probable. Medical assistance was promptly obtained by telephone, and the injured boy was made as comfortable as possible. The first reports were favorable to the child's recovery, but the shock had been too severe for the little frame, and he died about three o'clock the following morning.

Madison Chronicle: Miss Mary Elizabeth Demmel was born in Bavaria, Germany in the year 1828 where she grew to womanhood. In the year 1842 she was married to Philip Demmel. On their wedding day they left for America. The first three years of their married life they lived in Pennsylvania. From there they moved to Illinois where they lived for eighteen years, or to the year 1868 when they moved to Nebraska. They took up a homestead in Green Garden upon which they lived until after Mr. Demmel's death. Mr. Demmel preceded his good wife to their final rest about seven years ago. To this union were born eleven children, six of whom survive their mother, which are as follows: Mrs. Jake Maurer of California, Mrs. Henry Maurer of Madison, Mrs. John Maurer of Madison, Mrs. Andrew Schwartz of Madison and Phillip and Chas. Demmel who live in Green Garden precinct, one of whom lives on the old homestead. There are 29 grandchildren and over 40 great grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Demmel experienced the trials and pleasures of pioneer life. They saw the country when the Indians were pletiful and neighbors were scarce. They were of the sturdy German class that has made this country what it is now. Mrs. Demmel died at her home in Madison last Friday night after an illness of a few weeks. Her advanced age was not able to withstand her physical inability. The funeral left the house at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon and the services were conducted by Rev. Hensick at his church after which the mortal remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Green Garden cemetery beside her loved ones that preceded her to their final rest.

Tilden Citizen: The marriage of Miss Bertha Reikofski to Helmuth Schultz last Wednesday was witnessed by more people than ever attended a similar event in Tilden. The religious ceremony was performed in the Evangeilcal Lutheran church, the Rev. P. L. Bornhoeft officiating. The building was filled almost to its capacity and as the solemn words were pronounced that joined the contracting couple in the state of wedlock, all present were imbued with the confident hope that the principals in the happy event had each chosen wisely and well. The wedding march, played by the Rev. T. J. Vogel, added materially to the pleasant surroundings and were taken as a happy omen for the future. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Reikofski. She was born on the home farm near Tilden about twenty years ago and was educated at the district school. For the past three years she has held positions as clerk in two of the business houses of the town and has become well known and deservedly popular. Her home life has been such that she is thoroughly domesticated and well fitted to take charge of a home of her own. The groom is a prosperous young famrer of Cuming county, and in his own neighborhood, where he has lived from earliest infancy, he enjoys a reputation that is unsurpassed for industry, thrift and integrity. After the church service, the guests repaired to the home of the bride's parents a mile east of town, and there a veritable wedding feast was in waiting. Those partaking of the great spread are estimated to have numbered between three and four hundred, and the whole evening was spent in merriment. The happy couple will start their new life on a farm near Beemer.

Though for many years he took active interest in public affairs, he was one who could enforce his ideas without giving offense and was always ready to yield when convinced his judgement erred. A thorough christian gentleman if one ever lived, he died without leaving one who could speak aught but the best of him.

>After a struggle against the inevitable for over a week, when physicians and nurse feared each succeeding hour would be her last, death finally relieved the sufferings of Miss Jincy Osborn at 1 o'clock this (Thursday) morning.

Tilden Citizen: On last Monday morning a very sad occurence took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Corrin, living 9 miles south of Tilden, when their only child, a little daughter about 12 months old was smothered to death by falling headfirst into a six-gallon jar. The little tot had been playing about the house as usual, and was only out of sight of its' mother but a short time but was supposed to be busily engaged in its childish play. When the mother called to the child and it could neither be seen nor heard, search was immediately begun but only to find the little one, who had fallen into the jar, lifeless from being smothered. All was done that could be to bring life back to the body but all medical assistance seemed to be of no avail.

Norfolk Press: Harry Reed, a popular salesman at the Grant drink emporium, is the proud father of a handsome baby who tips the scales at two and one-half pounds. Just think of it, a little over the weight of a print of butter. His head is but a little larger than a walnut. She looks like an average sized doll. But sixteen years from now she'll make a good armful, no doubt.

Madison Chronicle: The death of Harry Reed occurred on Saturday forenoon, March 6, after several months of severe illness. The funeral was held from the Presbyterian church on Sunday, the pastor, Rev. McClenaghan, officiating, after which the remains were followed to their final resting place in the Clausen cemetery by a goodly number of relatives, friends and brother Woodmen. At the grave the Modern Woodmen burial service was used, and the Woodmen had general charge of the funeral arrangements. Deceased carried $1000 insurance in the Woodmen order, and the local lodge had supplied care takers for him much of the time since his final illness begun. His final illness came upon him in the fore part of October, while he was selling pianos at Platte Center. After a week's illness, he was brought to the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Carson, in this city, where he had since been, and where a loving wife and her people, skilled medical aid, and a Woodmen care taker did all that could be done to fight the grim reaper, but without avail, though he was hopeful to the end.
