FETROW, PEASE
My gg grandparents lived in Holmesville, Nebr in the late 1880's. James Alvin and Janetta (Fetrow ) Pease left Gage County by the late 1800's. My gr gr grandmother, Janetta Pease told that they homesteaded land in Nebraska. Both James and Janetta Fetrow Pease are buried in Barry Co., Mo at Washburn; however, James Pease' first wife as well as at least two children, his mother (Asentha Goddard Pease and his father Orlando Pease are buried there near Holmesville. When I was there looking for the gravesites of my Gage Co., Nebr ancestors I could not find Abraham Fetrow's grave, the father of Janetta Fetrow. I noticed in the Gage Co., site that A Fetrow lived in Logan Township and is listed on the farmers list. Does anyone know if he might be buried there around Beatrice? Any Fetrow or Pease cemetery or records pretaining to their surnames would be an added bit of data; however, I would so much like to find the grave site of Abraham Fetrow. Will exchange information on these families. I have many generations on both names and would like to help anyone find their Fetrow , Shambaugh, or Pease roots.

JONES, CHARLES, TURNER
Hi, my name is Teri Dover, and I have several ancestors who lived in Wymore and Holmesville Nebraska. My Great Grandmother Mamie Omega Jones was born in Holmesville Nebraska on 9 Sept. 1896. Her parents were James M. Jones and Oregon Charles. James was born on 1 Dec. 1851 possible in Indiana. Oregon was born on 5 April 1856. They both are buried in Wymore, Nebraska. James died 23 Oct. 1937 and Oregon died on 24 Dec. 1903. Mamie O. Jones married John H. Turner who was born on 20 April 1890 in Wymore. They had several children, one of them is my grandmother Marie Althea Turner, born 22 June 1915 also in Wymore. I know so little about the Jones and Charles family. And very little about the Turners. Unfortunately, most of my relatives are now dead, and left me with little information on this particular line. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
