Obituary of Eliza Alice (SEXSON) HILL [1857IN-1927NE]

RobertLJackson29 — 2007-12-11 10:46:12Z

THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, November 10, 1927, Volume LII, Number 1, Page 4, Columns 1 & 2, “DEATH OF MRS. ALICE HILL.” [Transcribed on December 11, 2007 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.]

E. Alice (SEXSON) HILL passed away at her home at Grant {Perkins County} Nebraska, last Sunday morning, November 6, after a lingering illness of nearly two years of cancer of the spine. She was seventy-one years of age.

Mrs. HILL was the daughter of John Granville and Martha (WALKER) SEXSON and was born in Center Township, Greene County, Indiana, where she resided with her parents until 1883, when her family moved to York County, Nebraska, where she lived until 1886, then moving to Perkins County in western Nebraska. She was one of the pioneer settlers of this Nebraska county and was identified with the upbuilding of this part of the state, having owned and improved several different pieces of property.

She, with her family was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and lived and practiced that true Christian fellowship, always willing and anxious to do her part for the church and in fact all those in need of help.

She leaves a husband and one son, four brothers, Joseph J.; Edgar H.; Carol Speed; and John G. SEXSON, and many other relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss.

She visited Greene County a few years ago and renewed many acquaintances of her girlhood days in Center Township.

Cemetery Look-Up, Madrid area

craig_s_baker — 2007-03-20 04:29:48Z

I am looking for information on a Thomas Silas Montgomery or a William Montgomery. Thomas probably died between 1920-1930. Last known address was Madrid, NE. It is possible his brother, William Montgomery, may also be buried in the area. Any help finding the burial locations and death dates for these two, or any of their family members, would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

found: Sumner F. Keys buried near Ellsworth, Kansas

crosskeys — 2007-02-23 12:10:25Z

Jean. Many thanks. I found Sumner F. Keys buried near Ellsworth, Kansas.

Sumner F. (or T.) Keyes Co. D 4th Vermont Infantry. Sent to Millen, Georgia, 11/11/64. Paroled 11/24/64. Mustered out 4/19/65. Listed as died before 1890 in Madrid, Nebraska, on Roster. Nebraska 1890 Veterans & Widows Census lists Elizabeth R. Purdy as widow of Sumner T. Keyes. Actually died 4/3 or 4/5/72 at his farm near Ellsworth, Kansas, of chronic diarrhea. Elizabeth R. Keyes granted a widow's pension in ?1874. Also listed as L. N. Keyes at Andersonville.

Elizabeth R. Purdy, widow of Sumner Keyes

jlmurray591 — 2007-02-23 12:08:53Z

David, looked into your query, attempting to trace Sumner Keyes and do not find burial information. The 1890 Veterans census, states Elizabeth R. Purdy as Widow of Sumner Keyes. He is most likely interred in the Madrid cemetery. Elizabeth moves on to CO, at times living with her son, and also sister, or possibly sister in law.
I was unable to find Sumner on the 1870 census. He may have been an inpatient, due to his time at Andersonville. On the 1890, he states disabilities caused by the war and being a POW. Hope someone local can help you out. Jean

Charles & Cynthia Anderson Ferrel in Venango, Perkins Co., NE

debbiekoch96 — 2006-11-14 06:21:13Z

I am looking for a time period that Charles and Cynthia Anderson Ferrel living in Venango, Perkins County, Nebraska and if they had any children with them. So far I have found at least three children, Cornelius, Elfie/Effie, and Grover; all born in Iowa, around 1879. The last census that I find the Ferrel family is in 1880 in New London, Henry County, Iowa. From a photo, I believe that they moved on to Lamar, Nebraska, then to Loveland, Colorado and Cynthia dies in 1941. I think Cynthia may have died in Loveland and would like to find an obit and death and burial information. Any clues to this family is appreciated.

The Elsie Methodist Church is still an active church. Grainton and Elsie are six miles apart. I don't know if the Grainton church still exists as the town has less than 20 people living there.
I will post a site that has the history of Elsie in a future posting. The Methodist church's history is there as well.

I want to thank you for putting Bryans gravestone pic up,he was my nephew, and a damn good man,went thru alot of pain he didnt deserve and died way too young.I'm sure we all miss him very much!!! My maiden name is Stumpf, and I think I went to school with your husband- if his name is Todd-he is a special guy too!!! Thanks again Jody

Glad to help

2005-12-07 11:52:18Z

Glad that you found a relative amongst my records. It always feels good to help someone out. I currently do not have any photos but will take some when the snow melts enough to read and see the tombstones. I will post them online when I get them and then send you another reply. Happy Family Hunting!

You're welcome

2005-10-28 20:50:23Z

Jody,

Your quite welcome! I never got the chance to meet Bryan personally but I have heard lots of stories from Todd about him and from what I have heard he was a brave man with a real big heart. Todd says that it is real ironic that our daughter Dayna was born on the same day that he died 2 years later almost to the exact hour. Would you happen to have one of Bryan's senior pictures? Todd says that he had one but somehow it has disappeared over the years. I would like to add a copy of it to the page with his tombstone as well as print one for Todd who by the way says 'Hi, hope all is well with you!' Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Albert Reiser/Riser (d. 1897)

2005-03-11 23:11:12Z

I am looking for the grave of Albert Reiser who died January 17, 1897 in Grant, Nebraska. I found this in the Keith County News but they did not have an obituary: Albert Reiser died at the home of Mrs. E. J. Johnson Sunday night, from the effects of an abcess in the throat which tended toward blood poisoning. He has been at work for some time on North River and came in last Friday for medical treatment. He had waited altogether too long to be successfully treated.

I would like to find out where he is buried. He would be my Great Uncle. Keith County does not show him in the Ogallala Cemetery and I can not find a listing for the cemeteries in Perkins County. Does the Lutheran Churches in Grant have cemeteries? He was a Lutheran.
Thank You

Hello Jim,
I am sorry, but I can't help you on behalf of the Freisen family. But what really struck me is YOUR surname.
My grandmother, who sadly died 2001 on her visit here in London, was born as Martha E. Dunajski in East Prussia in 1921. She was one of seven children and kept telling us her childhood memories from Osterode/East Prussia.
How did you get your name?
I hope you don't find this approach strange, by the way I got your name and email address from Ancestry.com.
Thanks anyway

Mary Ellen Goodin/Fletcher Newton Whips from Indiana to Nebraska

2002-04-03 18:13:58Z

I am looking for information on the Whips family in Nebraska. I am trying to fill in the blanks I have for the children of Asa Goodin and Margaret Sellars, grandparents to Mary Ellen Goodin.

Mary Ellen Goodin was b. 30 Apr 150 in Morrow Co., Ohio. She was the daughter of Smith Goodin and Sarah Salisbury (his 1st wife). Smith was born May 27, 1819 probably in Ohio. He died in Wells County, IN on April 17, 1896 and is buried in Beech Grove Cemetery in Wells County, IN. I don't know much about Sarah, but I think she is buried in Ohio. Smith Goodin was the son of Asa Goodin and Margaret Sellers. I am decendant from Issac another son of Asa and Margaret.

Mary Ellen married Flectcher Newton Whips on September 04, 1870 in Wells County, Ne. The only other information I have for this couple follows:
+++++++
Pension Record found on ancestry.com
Fletcher N. Whips
Images Online #: 2714
State Filed: Nebraska
Widow: Mary E. Whips

Pension Application:
Filed in Nebraska
Invalid - Application # 883185; Certification # 616565
Widow - Application # 719226

- Fairview Cem. is located on SH 23 about 3/4 mile west of Grant. This list of burials was supplied by the city of Grant. No birth and death date information was provided.

Name Spouse or other notes
Whips, Fletcher Danny
Whips, Fletcher H.
Whips, Frank Newton
Whips, Jennie I. Frank N.
Whips, Mary Ellen Fletcher N.
+++++++++

I thought that Fletcher and Mary Ellen were both buried in Fairview cemetery. I wonder if the Fletcher H. listed above is really Fletcher N. Are Fletcher Danny and Frank Newton also sons of this couple. I have recently found that Fletcher and Mary Ellen had a daughter, Sarah Aidyl who married Harvey E. Stohler.

I would very muvh like to correspond with anyone having information about this family. I have a good deal of information on the Goodin family which I would be very happy to share.

Re: Madrid Cemeteries

2002-03-03 21:58:07Z

Peggy,
In answer to your 23 January 2002 board message regarding cemeteries in Perkins County, NE. Three of them that I know about are 1. Madrid Cemetery, Madrid, NE; 2. Elsie Cemetery, Elsie, NE; 3. Grant Cemetery - also known as Fairview Cemetery in Grant, NE.
If you contact John Long, the funeral director, at (308) 352-4456, or write to him at P.O. Box 452, Grant, NE 69140 he can tell you names of people who keep track of who is buried where.
If you are fortunate enough to visit one of the sites in person, the Madrid and Grant cemeteries both have "Boards" near the entrance of each; the boards map and identify where graves are located.
Good luck in your search.

I copied the burials in the Fairview Cemetery in Grant from a computer printout provided by the City Clerk of Grant. The only information I have is what was on the printout.

For any additional information on burials there I would suggest writing to the Grant City Clerk, Grant, NE or the the oldest funeral home there. I believe that would be Bullock Funeral Home as they have been there for years.

I am not from Perkins county so I can't really offer you much else.

I recently visited Nebr. and found the gravesites of these people but can't seem to come up with anymore info.
I have obits on the Rice/Ketchum but it is the Wilson/ Neely family that I can't seem to find anymore on. I know the couple had about 10 children and some of their daughter, 2 infact married McQueens which is another familiar name to me. Hoping that someone can help.
