My Aunt said my grandmother is buried near Wahoo in Lachar (?spelling) in Saunders Co. My aunt is 96 so... My grandmother's name was Annie (Peters) Hamilton and died in the 1930's (maybe 1932). My aunt said they made her headstone in a wash tub. She was in her last thirties or early forties when she died. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello:
If possible, would you please send any information about maternal relatives for above URL - Amy Gibbons Brown. My relatives who moved to Nebraska and then to California are:

GRACY, MCKENZIE, ROWELL, WILLIAMSON, WITZEL posted by Terry Gracy on Saturday, July 12, 2008

McKenzie, Williamson, Gracy, Rowell, Witzel
My deceased father, Stanley McKenzie was born on Jan 11,1919 at Havelock,NE. His birth mother was thought to be ELSIE MCKENZIE. Stanley was adopted in Oct of 1919 by John R Gracy and Lillian Gracy of Ceresco, NE. Lillian was a member of the Graham and Alice Rowell family of Lincoln, NE. We are looking for any information that would help us identify the birth mother and father of Stanley. Lillian had two sisters, Carrie Williamson/Witzel, and Hazel. The Rowell's lived in Lincoln from 1900-1930'2. We believe that any information from the Harrison H Williamson family, Carl Witzel family, Graham A Rowell family, or John Riley Gracy family may help us to find some answers. Please contact us.
