Catharine "Kate" Cavanaugh born Sept. 1844, Ireland, widow of Francis Cavanaugh born abt 1820-25 in Ireland d 7 Jan 1882, Taylor County, IA, lived in Nebraska City in 1892 with her family. This may have been where she married to a Mr. Fahei/Fahey and a son, William, was born. William also went by Catharine's maiden name, Fitzgerald, and also was called Frank Cavanaugh. "Kate" had other sons named: Edward, Thomas F., Joseph, John, Dennis, Charles Henry, Owen and a step-son (by Francis's first marriage) James Hugh.
There was one daughter, Mary Ellen, who married Albert E. Joyce.

BOURLIER
Trying to establish a relationship between an Emil Bourlier who lived in Nemaha County in the 1870's and 1880's, and another Emil Bourlier who lived in Nebraska City, around the same time.
The Emil who lived in Nemaha County had a father by the name of James Bourlier. Don't know much of anything about him except he came from France. Settled in Ohio for awhile, then moved to Nemaha County, near Julian.

CARPENTER, HOWE
I am looking for Leander Carpenter and his family. An 1886 Gazetteer entry lists an L. Carpenter with a Turlington P.O. Leander married Permelia Howe in Wisconsin and arrived in Nebraska in 1886 with a daughter, Lorinda, born 1857. A son, Lucian, was born 1866. I am not sure where Turlington was.
Any information on Carpenters in Otoe County would be of interest.

ALBAUGH, HEINCY, WILLIAMSON posted by Patricia Heincy on Wednesday, December 30, 1998

HEINCY, WILLIAMSON, ALBAUGH
Looking for information on Oscar Williamson. I believe he married Blanche Albaugh about 1910. Their first son was born about that time. They may have lived around Lorton.
Also looking for information on James William Heincy, born Hannibal, MO. He married Blanche (Albaugh) Williamson, possibly in the late 1920s. They later lived around Alliance, NE.

CADY, FAITH, SHERIDAN posted by Patricia A. Sheridan on Wednesday, December 30, 1998

SHERIDAN, CADY, FAITH
Looking for the Sheridan family. Grandfather's name was James A. Sheridan. He married Tootsie D. Cady on Sept. 20, 1919. Tootsie passed away on Jan. 27, 1921. They had a son, Philip James Sheridan born June 21, 1920, died Nov. 1983. Tootsie's family raised him. James passed away when a car struck him and this info can be found in the Morton James Library. I don't remember that date.
Would like to find more information on the grandmother's family also. Tootsie's mother's name was Beatrice E. Faith born July 15, 1863, died July 30, 1935. She married Chas. E. Cady on Aug. 10, 1886. Beatrice's first name may have been the E. as I find it in old Bible records shown both ways. I know both families were from Nebraska City, and James and Tootsie are buried in Wyuka Cemetery.

They were listed in the 1880 Census in Otoe County. It is thought that Hettie married Enoch Woolman in Otoe County. Any information on Anderson or Woolman greatly appreciated.
