CONGLETON, ROBINSON, SHEPHERD posted by Doug Shepherd on Thursday, June 18, 1998

I am seeking birth, death, burial, marriage, newspaper, sibling, and ancestor information on CONGLETON family (1880-1920). We know Lewis, Louis, John, Lucinda (Congleton) SHEPHERD, and others were in the Kearney area during this time. J.W. ROBINSON owns the cemetery lots where some of them are buried. We do not know the relationships, birth dates, date of death, etc. for most of them. The Kearney cemetery also has Lucinda "Shephard" buried in a lot owned by J.W. Robinson. We believe she is really Lucinda (Congleton) Shepherd, wife of Ezekiel A. Shepherd. Can you make any of these connections?

CONGLETON, SHEPHERD posted by Doug Shepherd on Friday, June 19, 1998

Seeking information on Ezekiel A. SHEPHERD and wife Lucinda (CONGLETON) SHEPHERD, sons Benjamin H. and Lewis who resided in the Kearney area about 1880-1920. Some siblings for Benjamin and Lewis may have been born in the area and family members were buried in Kearney. Seeking any birth, death, burial, newspaper clippings, marriages, etc. for Shepherd or Congleton.

BOYER, LINDSAY, SIMMONS posted by Rich Lowe on Monday, June 29, 1998

Seeking info on family of Johnson P. LINDSAY b. Miami Co. OH 1 Oct 1850; d. Kearney, NE 1935. Married Sarah Belle SIMMONS 12 Jun 1884 in York Co. NE. She had married first Eli BOYER who died in his 20s in Iowa. Sarah Belle died at her daughter's home in Wichita KS, 2 May 1944, and is buried there. Johnson Lindsay is buried in Kearney Cemetery. There is an infant Lindsay buried on same lot as Johnson P., died 5/15/1910. Would like to know who this child is. Obituary info on both Johnson and Sarah Belle Lindsay would also be greatly appreciated also.

I am doing research on my Great-Grandparents David and Elizabeth BLACKBURN. David b 1836, died 1922 in Kearney. Elizabeth b 1842, died 1920, Kearney. Happy to share research.

PARK, SEAWARD posted by Loraine Prutzman on Friday, August 21, 1998

Am hoping some one out there can locate info on James Henry PARK born in Fairmount Twp., Luzerne Co., PA in 1851 married Rebecca A. SEAWARD at Town Hill, Luzerne Co., PA in 1880 . Rebecca born 22 April 1859 at Sugar Loaf Twp., Columbia Co., PA. In 1881 they were residing in Kearney, NE and had a child James Winnie Park b. 27 April 1881 who died there May 9, 1881. Whether this family stayed in the area I do not know . These was a second son Arthur Park but no dates or places. Would appreciate it greatly if one of you who read this query will do a little "poking around" in Kearney to see if the name can be found. Most of James H. Parks brothers stayed in area where they were born in PA and were probably farmers.

SCHUKAR posted by Mona Mueller on Monday, August 31, 1998

This is a unique name -- nearly every SCHUKAR in the US can be traced to the Bernickow area of Brandenburg. Peter Schukar was apparently the first of the family to emigrate. In 1852 he brought his family to Dodge County, Wisconsin. After 20 years there, they moved to Fayette Co., Illinois. Several Schukar families came to Buffalo Co. in about 1885. I have lots of data to share.

AUMICK, WINANS posted by painterb on Tuesday, September 8, 1998

We are looking for any information regarding a Frank Harris AUMICK born January 7, 1888 in Gibbon, NE. His parents names were Cory AUMICK and Ida Delphine WINANS. His siblings were Charles, Roy, and Louise. Any information regarding any AUMICK in the Gibbon area would be greatly appreciated.

LOCKHART posted by Kathy Lockhart on Monday, October 5, 1998

I am attempting to find information regarding my husband's great-grandfather and grandfather. The family story indicates his great grandfather, Elbert William LOCKHART immigrated from Scotland to Gibbon, Nebraska - date unknown. His grandfather William Elbert was born 5/19/1902 and we think in Gibbon. We have always been told that Elbert became a mayor of Gibbon, but cannot confirm. We are interested in knowing birth dates of Elbert (death is about 1969), year of immigration, and any history regarding his affairs in Nebraska.

NEAL posted by Judy Haworth on Monday, October 5, 1998

I'm trying to find out more about my paternal grandfather, Henry (aka Jack) Evan NEAL (possibly given the name of George at birth) b:15 Jul 1898 Odessa or Kearney NE d. 1968 CA. Son of Clinton? or Clifton? Neal b:? d:? m: Liz or Lizzie (Elizabeth?) Davidson b:? d:? dau of:? siblings: Robert, Louise, Helen (I'm not sure of the order of birth). I remember an Aunt Emma, too, but I'm not sure if she was another of his siblings or his aunt. This is all the info I have prior to when he married my grandmother (25 Dec 1920 Portland OR) and I know nothing about his parents. I'd be most appreciative of any shred of info anyone might have and be willing to share regarding my family.

DECK, NELSON, WARBY posted by Randall Tatum on Monday, October 12, 1998

DECK b 1905 Kearney Neb, and Wayne, Ruth and Violet. Hannah and her second husband Stephen Douglas WARBY were married in 1919 (in Kearney?) Stephen and Hannah's children were Gerald, Glen, Marion, and Harvey.
