Hi, thank you for your offer! I would like to know if there is anything about Amos Spencer or his wife Malinda (Christian) Spencer. She was supposed to have been an early school teacher for the indians.

Hello:
Am hoping you might be able to search the surname of Freeman?
I am looking for a Mrs. L. A. Freeman. First name Lucinda/Lucy.
Do not know her maiden name. She died in Blair, Washington Co., NE in Oct. of 1905.
A posting in the Aberdeen, SD newspaper dated 10-23-1905 stated she just passed. No date of death was given. But the date I gave should be close.
Her niece was Ida Flora Follansbee nee Adams.
Mrs. Freeman's sister's married name was Adams (Adaline) and husband William.
Please if you could also look for the following surnames of missing family members: Boyd, Asbury, and (possibly White as Lucy's maiden name).
Thank you.
Kind reguards,
Martha in CA~
