TRAMBLY, 31 JAN 1999

I am the great granddaughter of Nelson H. Trambly(Tremblay) and am trying to determine if he had brothers or sisters. (not half siblings) DOB 7 June 1862 Ontario Do not know where he married...assume Franklin County? 6 Nov, 1887 to Melvina Berger. Died 2 April 1937 in Campbell. His mother remarried. She was Margaret LeBlanc Trambly Delhaute. I would be very appreciative of any information. Since I live a "few" miles away, I am unable to travel as much as I'd like. Unfortunately, I do not know when my family settled in the Campbell area from Illinois. I believe there were many French-Canadians who came to the Franklin County area together. Oh, I would love to know more of the history!

Swan came down with consumption and died in Arkansas where they had moved for his health. Then Betty came back to Bloomington where some of her grown children were living. She cooked meals for the train men and weaved rugs. Why isn't Aztec listed as a past town and does anyone have any more information on Swan or his family.

de CLERCQ, 16 AUG 1999

"Daan C. de Clercq" <d.de.clercq@uba.uva.nl>
Looking for relatives of Arnold Mason de Clercq (1835-1897). He's a member of my family, but we're only distant related. I'm in fact a descendant of a brother of his great-great-grandfather, and I'm still Dutch. It was Arnold's grandfather Hendrik de Clercq (1776-1850), who in 1794 moved from Amsterdam, The Netherlands (where I live) to Cazenovia, NY. He was born in Cazenovia on 8 Nov. 1835, as a son of Peter de Clercq and Laura Mason. As a young man he was paralyzed for three years, and later worked for the association of his older brothers Gijsbert and Augustus Hervey (they had a wholesale trade in coal, wood and lumber in Chicago). At a certain point he moved to Muskegon, MI, where he was sherrif of that county from 1869 to 1871. Finally, he became ranchman (grower of small fruits) in Ezra (Wyoming) and died there on 8 Sept. 1897. He was married to Mary Ellis in Earlyville (Iowa) on 30 April 1865. They had one son, Ralph R. de Clercq, but he died young. Later they are said to have adopted two children. I don't know their names, though. They were in Franklin, Nebraska

Looking for info on my grandmother and great grandfather who lived in Bloomington in the late 1800's.
 My great grandfather, Orestes G. Bailey with his wife Orrilla B. McMore, migrated from Fort Ann, New York to Nebraska around 1890. In 1892 Orrilla passed away, married Jessie C. Bates in 1893. I do not know if he lived in Bloomington at this time, but my grandmother, Lila Lenore Bailey, was born in Bloomington on October 21st 1894. Sometime later they moved to Stroud Oklahoma. On November 6th, 1931, Orestes G. Bailey passed away, and according to his obituary, his body was shipped to Bloomington for burial. Also, according to his obituary and my grandmother, Orestes G. Bailey was "appointed by President Harrison to be Register of the Land Office in Nebraska, and served four years as State Representative in State Legislature."
 I have searched numerous pages in Nebraska and am unable to find any information. I would be most appreciative if anyone could direct me to a Web Site or Genealogist who may be able to provide some information on the Bailey's in Bloomington.

ADAM, LANG, KLUTH, LEMHOUSE - 24 Oct 1999

I know my ancestors lived in Franklin County, Sept. 1879 to at least March 1883. I am looking for any Lutheran churches in Riverton and Bloomington that might have birth and death nformation for these surnames. I know that Heinrich Lang(e) died shortly after arrival in NE and that children were born in NE. I also feel that a couple of children may have been born and died as infants while the families were in NE but need to find records to prove this theory. How do I get names/addresses of the churches in Franklin County? Also, are there any records available for cemeteries in Franklin County?

LESTER, MULLALLY, 5 Dec 1999

The first person I'm looking for is Dolores (Dolly) LESTER (b. Nebraska, 07-Mar-1910). I believe that she and her family were living in Franklin in 1929. The 1920 Census shows them as living in Riverton on Crosby Street. They may have moved to Franklin County in 1910 because they don't appear in the 1910 Census for Nebraska. Her parents were: William LESTER (b. Missouri, ca. 1874) Nellie (b. Missouri, ca. 1882) Her siblings were: Francis (b. Missouri, ca. 1902) Blanch (b. Missouri, ca. 1903) Allen (b Missouri, ca. 1909) Vernon (b. Nebraska, ca. 1912) Raymond (b. Nebraska, ca 1919)

The second person I'm researching is Alfred MULLALLY (b. Nebraska, ca. 907). He may have been living in Orleans, Harlan County in 1929. The 1920 Census places him and his family in Ash Grove Township, Franklin County. His parents were: Thomas Mullally (b. Nebraska, January 1867) Mary E. (b. New York, August 1871)

His siblings were: Mary M. (b. Nebraska, May 1893) Lorretta (b. Nebraska, ca. 1895) Edgar A (b. Nebraska, ca 1896) Ada (b. Nebraska, ca. 1897) occupation: Public School Teacher William (b. Nebraska, ca. 1898) may have lived in Bloomington and passed away in July 1980

The MULLALLY's appear to have been in Nebraska for a long time -- I can trace this branch in Franklin County back through the 1880 Census. Dean MERTZ, Highlands Ranch, Colorado, dean@mertz.org

WISTRAND 03 Aug 2000

Hi, my name is Brian L. Berg, I am originally from Allamakee Cnty Iowa. In the late 1860's, 70,s or possibly early eighties some relatives of mine came to settle in either Franklin (which I was always told) or Harlan Cnty (which I think is possible as my uncles name is Harlan and My Grandmothers is Alma which seems highly coincidental) the sirname I am looking for is Wistrand or some bastardidation there of. Sometime in the late 1800's in the time frame stated above my Great great grandparents migrated to the US from Sweden. The planned to settle in Nebraska and were traveling with a group of Swedes through Allamakee which had a high population of Swedish settlers. While resting over there they became ill and died. They had four minor chidren, two teenage boys and two girls who I believe were 12 and 9 at the time. The boys went on with the other families to Nebraska. The girls were taken in by a Swedish family (sirname Faegre) in Allamakee. Their names were Marie and Clara. Marie is my great grandmother. She married Fredrick Schweinfurth  in the 1880's and had three children. Clara married Peter Larson  in the 1890s and had one child. In 1906 an influenza epidemic struck Allamakee. Two of Maries children died leaving only Alma my grandmother surviving. Clara became ill helping her sister and she and her four year old son also died in 1906. My Grandmother had contact with her first cousins in Nebraska and even journeyed to visit and I remember some relative visiting when I was a child ( I am 38 now) I don’t know if the sirname Wistrand has survived or not. I am hoping to find some relatives still extant By providing you with information I have I am hoping someone in your historical society or organzation will have a bell go off. Please email any information you might have for me to brikeeia@hotmail.com

BLANK, SWANEY, LYON - 21 Dec 2000

BLANK, SWANEY, LYON, These are my family history names that I have been working on for my family history book. I have been told that there were some BLANK'S in Franklin Co. years ago. My father, Kenneth Gordon BLANK, b. July 10, 1914 in Gordon, Neb. His father: William John BLANK, b. Marion, Wis. mother: Georgia LYON, b. Gordon, Neb. They had two children, my father Kenneth and my Aunt Loreen, then they got a divorce, Georgia, married 2nd husband, Frank SWANEY, I am not sure what the kids ages were, but they took over the SWANEY name, but there never was an adoption. My father Kenneth, and my mother, got a divorced when I was maybe 3 months old. So I lost all contact with my BLANK, SWANEY, AND LYON, families. But, when I grew up I did find my father Kenneth, it was great, but he died in three months, that did not give me enough time to get my family history. Thank you to anyone that could give me some information on these families, my family history book is real small for now. Harold SWANEY email: hsbrbks@hotmail.com

BROWN - 25 Jun 2001

Seeking descendants of Eli and Rebecca (Boswell) Brown, early settlers of Franklin County, Nebraska, from Rosefield Township, Peoria County, Illinois, about 1872.

They had two children: (1) Charles ("Charlie") Brown, born 16 December 1870, in Rosefield Township, Peoria County, Illinois, married Frances L. -----, about 1898, presumably in Franklin County. They were divorced before the 1910 Census enumeration. (2) Mary Jane ("Janie") Brown, born 23 April 1874, in Nebraska, died after 1920. In the 1920 Census enumeration she was noted as single and my understanding is that she never married. Charles Brown may have had a subsequent marriage and had children.

HALVORSON - 15 Jul 2001

This story in the Willmar Republican Gazette, (Willmar, Minnesota) June 21, 1906 describes the possible murder of my great-great uncle, Hans Halvorson. The murder possibly took place about 1897 in Franklin County. I have included the important parts of the article.

"Foul Play Suspected"----- About ten or twelve years ago Hans Halvorson...of Norway Lake, went to Nebraska, were he resided about two years, working as a farmer, about half way between Franklin and Bloomington, and at the end of two years he disappeared and nothing has been heard of him since..........Before leaving he transferred his property to a sister. He was a man who never spent money he has taken up at the time he disappeared and is though that he had some five or six hundred dollars coming. A diligent search was made but no trace of him dead or alive could be found, until some time last week a skeleton of a man was found about two or three miles from the place where Halvorson had worked. When questioned at the time of the disappearance in regard to what he knew of Halvorson, the farmer stated that he had taken an axe and left the place, but the report now comes out that the last seen of him was while at work around the place doing the evening chores. It seems the framer had never kept any account of the money Halvorson had taken up, and a settlement had never been made. About a month after Halvorson disappeared, a farmer was murdered near that place. His body has never been found, but his wife and son are now serving a life sentence in the Nebraska state prison for the deed. The relatives of Halvorson in this (New London) vicinity were informed in regard to the finding of the skeleton.......The only way they think they can identify the remains in that Halvorson had very sound strong teeth, and a full set, and this description corresponds exactly with that of the skeleton. The only doubt there can be now is that it may be the skeleton of the man who was murdered by his wife and son.......end.

I would appreciate any info to this murder and the related persons.

The younger Harry Drews may also be buried there. Alyce died in a nursing home in Hastings, NE. Looking for any info.
Thanks, Scott - SBurc87880@aol.com

 

HART - 26 Jul 2001

My grandmother Edna Mae Hart was born in Naponee, Nebraska in the late 1800s. Her mother died when she was four or five years of age and her father moved them back to Hart, Michigan where his brother had a lumber mill. She told stories of being born in a sod hut and she was sung to by an Indian woman. We are wondering if the indian woman was her mother. Was there an indian tribe nearby during the 1880s? Edna grew up to have two degrees a nursing degree from Ferris University and degree of Education from the University of Michigan. Any information would be appreciated. - FaithWeavr@aol.com

COE - 31 Jul 2001

My grandparents Bryan and Emma COE lived in Franklin, Nebraska in 1940. It is my understanding that they operated a cafe there. They lived there with several children; those children included: Ruby, Raymond, Bryan jr., Lorraine, Lloyd, and Betty (Betty is my mother) In July of 1940, Lloyd drowned in the river.

MARR, FOLEY - 10 Sep 2001

I am trying to find any family of Winfield Scott Marr. In the 1910 census it lists his wife as Margaret. My gr.grandmother's little sister Artie (Artansie) Foley was sent to live with her uncle Winfield Scott Marr around 1902-1903 after there mother died May 12th 1902. Does anyone know the connection of how he was her uncle or maybe his wife was her aunt? She came from Whitewood South Dakota. Winfield was a banker at the Hildreth Bank. He was born in Iowa as was his wife. Artie's mother Agnes also was born Iowa to a Thomas family, not sure of there names. May of been Henry and Sarah Thomas. Artie also had a uncle Harvey Thomas born around 1875. Her father was Thomas Foley, no nothing on him or what happened to him, as Agnes remarried sometime after 1890 to George Richey in Whitewood. Agnes's youngest son Thomas Foley Jr. was born in Nebraska somewhere. So believe there was family there. All her other children including Artie were born in Harlen Kansas. These are the only names I have to work with, hope someone reconizes them and can help me! Thanks, vel

OLSON, August 18, 2002

I have just received a copy of my father's S.S. application, made just before his death, in 1940.This is the first clue I have had to his birthdate and birthplace. He died when I was 4 yrs. old. I realize that births were not recorded until 1905, but I wondered if there is any other type of record that would show his birth. His name was Ellis Everett OLSON. He was born April 13,1902,in Naponee, Franklin, Nebraska. His father was Jacob Dale Olson,from Norway and his mother was Martha Jane Snow Olson[Mattie],born in Indiana. I know that his sisters,Ora,Eda,and Ester,were also born there. Eda graduated in 1915[?] from high school, and I believe that Ora may have taught school there. I am handicapped and live in SC, but if you can point me to any records that might be available to give me any kind of information on this family, I would appreciate it.
Thank you. Marjory Olson Palmer, Charleston, SC

DILLARD, YOUNG – 27 Dec 2002

I am trying to locate the farm where my Father (Hadley Christopher Dillard) worked in the early 1900’s. Here is a snippet of some info that I have compiled about him so far:  “He supposedly was in Hillrose, Colorado in 1908 working in the sugar beet harvest.  Then he went to Upland, Nebraska (probably got involved in the wheat harvest?).  When World War I came along he was living there with a family (the Youngs) of 11 children.  He went with a bunch of the Youngs boys to the draft board to enlist, and they took them all but him.  He couldn't pass the physical because of a bad heart.  Every 6 months he would get a card from the draft board and go back for another physical only to be turned down again.” Could you help me locate some of the Young’s that might have remembered him as a hired hand?  I would really appreciate it.
