Absolem Ames in Anderson 1930

1335512 — 21 Jan 2005 11:43:14 GMT

I need help. The 1930 census lists an Absolem Ames, 64, living with the Alfred Reil family in Anderson, Thurston Co. This wouldn't be a problem except that he is listed as being a widower. According to the obituary of my Absolem Ames (died in 1932 in Washington Co, NE), he died a batchelor. So, either there was another man by the same name and age in Nebraska, or my Absolem married but never told anyone? He was single in 1920. If he married, it may not have been in Thurston Co, but if anyone has run across or knows anything of this person, please respond.
Thanks,
Jill

Fuller Family

Margaret Paquette — 24 Jul 2004 8:39:45 GMT

I am looking for any info on Clyde Fuller. He was born in New York in 1894 and passed away in Walthill NE in 1977. I heard that he was adopted by an Indian family in Iowa or Nebraska. Does this sound familar to anyone? He married Sophia "Marie" Molgaard(1899-1991) and had 3 children. Two girls(one named Eva) and a son, Leonard Koch Fuller 1920-1986 who is my grandfather. Marie Molgaard's parents were Christian Anderson Molgaard and Christiana Koch. Marie's sister Christine, married Hans Peterson on April 12, 1916 at the Presbyterian parsonage in Tebamah, Nebraska. Christine was born Dec 1, 1895 and was the oldest of 7 children which included my great-grandmother Marie Molgaard Fuller . The family at that time farmed in the Bertha Community. Hans Petersen was born in Schleswig Holstein Germany on Sept. 23, 1887 to Thomas and Bertha Marie Petersen. He came to America in 1906 and attended Dana College at Blair. Later Hans and Christine retired to Lyons and Hans passed away in 1968 and Christine in 1981. I have this info directly from a family cookbook given to me by my Grandmother Jeanne Ajamy Fuller who lives a few miles north of me. So if anyone knows about any of these families I would love to hear from you. I want to know about my Moms family, and she passed away in 1990 so I am limited on resources. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Rosalie Ripsaw

DMadrid2389 — 25 Jul 2003 3:37:06 GMT

I am looking for any reference, via the newspaper, or other local records to an Angeline SOUTHWELL who apparently lived for a short time in Rosalie, about 1930 or so. She periodically left her husband William SOUTHWELL of Lyons to "go up the river to Rosalie with some Swede." I have no idea who this Swede might be but small newspapers often print little articles of assorted interest so I was hoping there might be some mention of her. Perhaps there is a local historical society that could help me, or someone who has lived in town since the 30s and might recognize her name. I will gladly pay for research costs and can be contacted directly at DonnaSF47@home.com

Thank you so much

children of Clarence Cochran and Frances (Jump) Cochran

smithmichelle30 — 12 Dec 2002 8:31:40 GMT

I am looking for any descendents of this couple. Frances gave birth to my grandfather Frederick Charles and his twin brother Arthur Francis on Dec. 22, 1933 (after Clarence had already been dead for 3 years.) The twins were placed in an orphanage, and were later adopted together. Clarence had several siblings, so even if they had no children themselves, there had to be several neices and nephews. If anyone can help me with any information (no matter how small) I would really appreciate it! My Grandfather died last year but he desperateley wanted to know his geneology! Adoption took place in Pender, Ne.

Missing relative

I am one of two children, fathered by Wallace Hansen, in California. We have much family information and many photographs to share.

Harbert/Seeley in Nebraska

darlene7d — 4 Apr 2002 7:03:18 GMT

I am posting this message to the Scotts Bluff board because this was also a town my Grandmother and Grandfather were to have lived in in Nebraska: Please read below

I have been trying to locate my family and they seem to be invisible. I have the 1910 and 1920 U.S. Census for Custer Nebraska (Berwyn Township) and (Broken Bow Township) which
shows my Grandmother and Grandfather living there dring those years. My mother, Luretta Grace Harbert, graduated from Broken Bow High School. Other children of my Grandmother and Grandfather were Lelia Harbert, Elvia Harbert, Chuck (Charles/Leland) Harbert, and Els (Eldred) Harbert. My grandmother is Emma Grace Leland (married name Harbert, she was shown to be born in Rhode Island in 1879) and my grandfather's name is Lewis or Louis W. Harbert (shown to be born in Illinois in 1870 and his parents were from Germany). My mother, Luretta Grace Harbert was born in 1917 and shows up as 3 and 1/2 years old in the Custer, Nabraska 1920 Census - Broken Bow Township. Anyone with any information or hints that might help me find them, please let me know. There was also another daughter born to Emma and Lewis Harbert in 1917? and died during the same time period (1918), her name was Iris M. Harbert and her tombstone has the dates 1917-1918 and her name on it, I cannot find her death recorded anywhere or find out where she is burried, I have tried all the things I know of to locate her grave and come up empty handed.
Thank you for any information you can provide or tips that may help me search.
Darlene

My mother's sister Elvia, married a man named Lloyd Seeley and them lived in Omaha, Nebraska for many years until his death, they had two children, Ron Seeley and Dolores Seeley. I Believe Lloyd Seeley worked for the Railroad for some years.

Ernest LASS and Dorothy DOHRMAN

colagirl5606 — 4 Apr 2002 7:50:45 GMT

JOHNSON and LASS surnames...
I am researching my husband's side of our family tree. His mother, Margaret Ann JOHNSON, was adopted in 1947 at the age of 10 years old to the KLINTWORTH's. She had 2 twin sisters, Jean and Jane, and a brother, Tom who were all adopted to different families. Their birth father was Andrew (Andy) JOHNSON and their birth mother was Dorothy LASS. They lived near Crowell, NE (between West Point and Fremont, NE). I would guess that Andy and Dorothy were born between the years of 1910 and 1920. Anyone have any information on Andy JOHNSON or Dorothy LASS? I found an Ernest Heinrich LASS b. Scribner, NE 11-17-1882 and d. Emerson, NE 5-28-1962. He m. Dorothy DOHRMAN who was b. Germany 8-1-1883 and d. Emerson, NE 9-11-1984. They were married 2-25-1908. I'm wondering if these are the parents of Dorothy LASS, mother of Margaret Ann JOHNSON?

Anderson, William & Emily

lkthomas — 10 May 2000 12:00:00 GMT

In approximately 1898 Emily Anderson and her husband William travelled from Kentucky by wagon train to the West. Family lore says to Omaha, NE. By 1900 Emily was back in Kentucky and a widow. Emily says on the census that she had seven children, five of whom were living in 1900. We have the names of only five: Joseph, Julius, Josephine, Robert and Tanny.

Can anyone support that these folks were in Nebraska at that time? This Anderson line is strongly connected to the White, Taylor and Barnes families in Kentucky. William Anderson may be buried in NE. Would like to find out.
