Hello. I have never posted before and I happened to notice something on an "Emilia Weisflog". According to the info I have.. Emilia was born 11 Dec 1834 in Germany and Died 22 Feb 1899. I know that the date might not be correct as i could have read the handwriting wrong...but this sounded just familiar. She was married to Gustave Herman Weisflog it was noted that he also Died in Crookston, however, I have no record of this.. Please contact me with more information. acriswell3@sbcglobal.net. Reply on email and here for post please so I know to look out for your reply. Thanks!

You are right on the date of 1899. Here is the obituary as posted in the newspaper:
Mrs. Julian Emelia Weisflog departed this life February 25th 1890 at her home eight miles southwest of Crookston, Nebraska at the age of 64 years 2 months and 14 days.
sister Wesiflog became a member of the Luthran church while in the Old Country. She came to Cherry county 14 years ago. A large company of neighbors gathered at the school house in Crookston for the funeral service which was ocnducted by the writer. The remains of Sister Weisflog was buried in the Crookston cmemtery to await the "Resurrection morn." The husband, five sons, tow daughters and a host of sympathizing neighbors are left to mourn the loss of one loved and respected Mother has gone to the Paradise of God but memory will ever be fresh with a mother's love. Jas. A. Johnson [The Republican, Valentine, Nebraska- Friday, March 3, 1899}
(you will notice that the newspaper date is 1899, so the 1890 date was a mistake of the newspaper.)
Crookston cemetery records list Herman G. Wesiflog born Dec. 24, 1835 and died Oct 15, 1915.

The Newspaper is on microfilm at the Historical Society, but not for loan.
There are 2 Weisflogs in the German Settlement Cemetery.
the German Setlement is southwest of Crookston. The Crookston Cemetery is up the hill north and I think about a mile east of Crookston.
There was a Francisco Stump, whose wife was Eliza J. born Feb 12,1852 died June 7, 1892, buried in Crookston cemetery. I don't know where Francisco is buried. Francisco was a civil war veteran. According to 1890 census he was a pvt in company c, 104th HE Inf. served from 1863 to July 12 1865, served 1 year, 6 months and 28 days.
Francisco advertised for final proof on homestead HE 6801, NW 1/4 Sec 35, tp 35, R30 west of 6th principal meridian. Address Crookston, 16 Dec 1892. I believe he lived about 3 miles north of Crookston.
Don't know where this came from, but written on 1890 census gives Eliza's birth place as Lancaster county, Kentucky.
1885 Nebraska census (Cherry county) lists F. Stump, age 3?, farmer, born Ohio, and parents born Ohio.
Eliza J. age 33, born Kentucky, father born South Carolina, mother born Saxony.
Henrietta age 16, born Missouri
Ina M. age 14 born Missouri
Francis 9 born Missouri
Samuel 5 born Misouri
Minna age 9/12 born Nebraska
1885 census also lists Francisco as having 20 acres of his 160 acres broken. Does not list animals.
