KINZIE, HATCH
I am trying to locate the burial site of WILLIAM KINZIE, who came to Gage Co. Ne. in 1864, with his son DAVID HALL KINZIE, so he could be near his son JAMES KINZIE and his wife LYDIA HATCH KINZIE, who were early settlers of GRANT TOWNSHIP, in GAGE Co., coming to Ne. Territory in 1861, from Indiana. In an old book published about early settlers of Gage Co., it says James resided on section 8, Grant Township. Andreas's History of Gage Co. says he farmed sections 17&18, Town 5, Range 5, mentioning Claytonia Creek. Does anyone familiar with early cemeteries in Gage Co., know where William could possibly have been buried, in the year of 1869? They were also members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Dewitt, Ne., according to the 1888 book. Does anyone know when that church came into existence, when it closed, and where I could view old church records? James and his wife Lydia are supposedly buried at the Oak Grove Cem., Dewitt, Ne., though there are no markers. Any help would be greatly appreciated in helping me find my ancestors!
I suggest you contact the DeWitt Public Library, 208 E. Fillmore, DeWitt, NE 68341. St. Augustine Episcopal Church is in DeWitt at 108 N. Quince, though they are not necessarily the church that the M.E. merged with. I have seen an instance of a church disbanding and the building being sold to another denomination and the records were left with the building. Ask the librarian about what funeral homes were in DeWitt that early, you might be able to find some there. Rosehill Cem. is the closest Gage Co. cemetery, but chances are Wm. is buried in DeWitt with the others. I couldn't find anything on any Saline Co. newspapers that were published that early. The Blue Valley Record and Beatrice Clarion were published then in Gage Co. You should look into renting or buying those films from NSHS and check for an obit or death notice on Wm.
Lori,
Thankyou for the swift response to my questions about the Kinzies. I was always led to believe that there were no organized cemeteries in the area back in 1869, but I looked up Oak Grove Cem., under the Saline Co. website, and did find the first burial was in 1859 or 1860. So, that is most likely William's burial site, also. I didn't know that there was still an Episcopal church at Dewitt, either. I looked up the old Methodist Episcopal Church's phone number, and it gave a Fairbury number to call. I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone down there yet. I will see if I can go to Dewitt, this week, and check things out down there. If William is buried at Dewitt, he isn't listed on the inventory, but just maybe old church records will have him. It sounds alot better than having him buried at the old homestead. That seemed to be everyone's idea at Wilber, when I got James Kinzie's probate records. I'm glad we have resources like the NEGENWEB site, and thoughtful people, who will respond & help us out!

Walker, Bunch
Two children of Stokley Donaldson Walker of Hawkins Co., TN, moved into Gage County after 1880 and then went on to Oklahoma before/around 1900. Porter Crittington Walker (9/25/1860, Hawkins Co., TN - 7/21/1924, Kansas)and his sister, Dorthula Virginia Cornelia Walker (married David Edward Bunch), moved into Gage County, Nebraska in the early 1880's. Records that I have of them are "spotty" after that time (to say the least!). They each had several children born up to the mid 1890's and both wound up in Oklahoma. My question is general: Why did folks come there from as far away as east Tennessee? What pulled them there? What route did they follow? How did they travel? These particular families were in Freeman and Hanover. Beatrice and Pickrell were other towns/communities listed.
Many moved to NE because of the Homestead Act of 1862. The Otoe Indian Reservation took up a fair share of the south end of Gage Co. In the early 1880s, they were moved to Oklahoma, making many more acres available to homesteaders.
Karen Clark (KClark969@aol.com)Thanks, Lori. [And, that was an interesting article about the Homestead Act.]

I am trying to track down where my ggparents were married. his name was Jacob Henry FRANCE (usually went by Henry) and her name was Mary Elizabeth PHILLIPS. Mary Elizabeth's aunt Leila A. POLLOCK lived in Beatrice with Leila's family and mother, Mary LANTZ HENDERSON.

WILLIAMS, BABCOCK, KING, FOLDEN
Seeking info on my WILLIAMS line. Caroline Babcock was married to Florello Williams abt 1843 in MI, but it is said she died abt 1913 in Beatrice. But I don't know her last name at the time of death. I am guessing as he died 1859 in MI and she didn't die until 1913 that she remarried. She had 3 young children to care for after Florello's death.
Also seeking information on Jay Steven WIlliams who married abt 1877 in Beatrice to Nancey KING who died 1881 in Beatrice, he remarried abt 1883 to Agnes in Beatrice.
Jay and Nancey had a son Florrelo Pomeleo WILLIAMS 16 apr 1878 in Beatrice.
Florrelo married abt 6 nov 1897 in Beatrice to Laura Folden who was born 1880 in Geneva,NE. It is said she died 1904 in Beatrice, but it is also said they had children in 1904, 1905 and 1912. So I think he remarried.
So I would like to find where they are buried, confirm marriages & births, locate obits, and all that great stuff.
I thank you for your much needed help. Sincerely, Cathy LArkins of Tacoma,WA.

NIERMEIER, KLOSTERMANN, DIETZ
I'd like to find the date of the death of John Klostermann. He arrived in Gage Co. in 1881 and died in 1994. His Wife, Anna Marie (Niermeyer) Klostermann then married John Dietz in Jan. of 1885. They were Lutheran and I have no record of land bought by either. Any information on either of these is appreciated. Any funeral homes existing at that time still existing? Thanks, Luci
Dietz
Luci, Lori Laird sent me you message, as I have been looking for info on John Dietz also, but have no info on the Klosterman name. I do know that this John Dietz sure got around, as he married again in 1912, to a Nettie Hoffman, and in 1917 to a Foss. My information is coming from William Wever, who has really been a big help to me. He originally came from the same area as this John Dietz. I would suggest you try Johnson Co. Nebraska, and you will find Mr. Wever listed as the county co-ordinator.
NIERMEIER, KLOSTERMANN, DIETZ
Barb,
Thanks for the suggestion. I wonder if it is the same Dietz but it sure is worth looking into. Anna Klostermann Dietz died 2/11/11 in missouri. According to his reputation he may have married again! Luci
Luci, this John Dietz must be the same one, as he died in a fire in Missouri. If I remember correctly it was in the late 40's. At the time he had changed his name to John Dietz Foss, and was a guardian for a Stephen Foss. I have no clue what this man was hiding from, but he was quite a chameleon.

Beaver
I'm not sure if we have any family connection but I also have ancestors from Beatrice, NE and Gage County, NE. I noticed a couple of given names in your history and I wondered if there might be a connection. My Great, great grandfather was Wesley Beaver b:1/26/1826-1829 from Tazewell County, Illinois and he married Susanna Fisher. At some point they moved to Beatrice. (My info says they are buried in Beatrice, NE. Wesley died 8/25/1884 in Beatrice as did Susanna on 2/29/1896). They had 2 children: Mary Beaver who married Peter Wirges and Jesse Franklin Beaver b:10/21/1849 in Beatrice and d:3/24/1933 in Beatrice. Jesse married Florence Jackson and they had 4 children: Flora, Ida (died as a child, Elsie and Glen (my grandfather). Glen Wesley Beaver was born in Beatrice on 7/25/1886 and d:6/21/1970 in Lodi, CA. He married Alfrieda Overgard in Beatrice and they had one son (my father) Howard Wesley Beaver born in Fairbury, NE. He married Lyda Mae Livingston of Nashville, TN in Alliance, NE. They had 2 children me (pamela Gaye Beaver) and my brother (James Wesley Beaver). My brother has 1 daughter sarah. I have 2 children: Stacey Lynn Keck and Steven William Wesley Keck. Let me know if you think we might have any connection. The names "Jessie" and "Jesse", "Wesley" and "mary" could indicate something. I do not know which cemetery my relatives are buried in. I was in Beatrice when I was a child. I remember my dad and my grandfather migrated back there for reunions that the high school had every 5 years. I wasn't interested in family history at that time, of course. My parents and grandparents are all dead now so it is difficult to gather any info at this time. I do have one piece of info that mentions that Wesley's parents names were :John" and either "Sabra" or "maria". I think the info might be a little suspect though because I don't have any definite leads on them. Hope this helps. Please respond.

On my father's side, the Clarks, Bowhays, and Carpenters, and possibly others, all settled in and around Liberty. Leander J. Carpenter married Permelia Howe in 1856 (I am not sure where); their children were Lorinda Parthenia (my great-grandmother), Lorenzo, Loretta, Lucian, and Laura. Lorinda married Peter Bowhay. On my mother's side, her paternal great-grandfathers were Jacob Hershey, who married Ruth Brubaker, and David Swiler, who married Katherine Hale. Her maternal great-grandfathers were Michael Burke, who married Mary Ann Wingerd, and John Brewbaker, who married Matila Leiter. Her grandparents were Samuel B. Hershey, who married Barbara Swiler, and Isaac Hershey, who married Martha Elizabeth Brubaker. I would like to get in touch with anyone who might have ancestors in common.

Dear Cousin,
On my mother's side, my great grandmother was Mary Tanzen Bowhay, the sister of your great grandfather Peter Bowhay. My aunt provided me with the source data. It seems that our information that Peter's wife was Lucinda was incorrect, and as you suggest, the name must be Lorinda (Lorinda Parthenia Carpenter).
I remember that my aunt said that Bowhays in Nebraska were in the undertaking trade. Do you know if this is true?
One of the Bowhay brothers settled in the southern part of the San Jouquin Valley in California.
Mary Tanzen Bowhay and her husband William Penn Friend had an active pioneer life and a large family. After the Mussel Slough Tragedy on May 11, 1880 over railroad right-of-way conflicts, the family went to Sinaloa, Mexico for three years in a disappointing utopian communal enterprise. In 1898 William and a son went to the Alaskan Gold Rush.
Since Bowhay is a rather rare name, I keep on the lookout for possible relatives.
Best regards,
Burt McHaley in Chimayo, NM
A biography of Newton Bowhay (Jasper Newton Bowhay) who resided in Tulare Co., CA, indicates that his grandfather was William P. Bowhay from Cornwall. William was christened at Stoke Dameral, Devon, England. Devon is adjacent to Cornwall. Papers from the Bedford Co., PA courthouse indicates that he became a naturalized citizen of the United States on Jan. 31, 1833.

I am searching for some kind of death record for Orin Lucius Phelps, who died in Claytonia, NE I believe his death occured before 1890. Orin Phelps is the brother of Lucy Ann Soper of DeWitt, NE and Mary Ellen Farrens, also of DeWitt, NE. When looking at the entry of death in the family bible, the date is missing all other family members dates of death seem to be so precise. Thank you in advance for any help on this. Terri

BARNHOUSE, ANNABLE
I am looking for information on the William W. Barnhouse family who resided in Adams (farm) in the 1870s and 1880s. Possibly even before. I am also looking for the family of Orsemus Ebenezer Annable (called Simon and I do not blame him). He married Margaret Elizabeth Barnhouse (daughter of William W.) in Adams, Gage Cty in 1876. They raised a family there and I understand they moved in 1900 to Ravenna NE. I also know a John Barnhouse lived in Pickerall and died there on Nov. 11, 1887. His wife's name was Elizabeth J. and I am wondering if he could be William's father as he came from Penn. also. I have also found a D. H. Annable farming near Adams in 1886-7 but do not know his first name--he is bound to be a relative. I would appreciate any information you might have.
Barnhouse, Moore, Bryson, Brocks
My grandmother was Cora Barnhouse born in 1870. I only learned from a cousin over this past weekend she was the daughter of William W Barnhouse of Gage, County Nebraska. According to Cora's family Bible William was born July 16, 1836. His first wife was Cora's mother Sarah Ellen Brocks. She was born 5/13/1840 and died 5/31/1884. After her death he married Lucretia Bryson in 1885. I have not seen the Bible from which he took information. He lives in New Mexico. We had no information on siblings or how many. Looks like Margaret Elizabeth would be younger sister of Cora. Cora married Frank V Moore. They moved to Holton Ks in 1908 where they resided until their deaths in 1950.
